scSTREAM, fan curves and altitude/elevated temperature...

A typical fan curve from test data is done at Sea Level, room temperature. If studying a system at higher altitude or temperature, we typically correct the fan curve accordingly and also modify the air properties. Is this the proper procedure or are we double-penalizing ourselves? If so, is changing the material properties while keeping the fan curve as-is the correct way?

  • I agree 100% with you @Chuel-Ho Kim​ and that's what I've been doing for decades (entering our 12th year of using scSTREAM BTW!). But every now and then, when a customer really wants their design to pass and as we are the bearer of bad news, we encounter these kind of arguments. Appreciate the response, and did get the same from @Nobuyuki Oshitani​ so that makes a least 3 of us agreeing Grin
