Design Basis
The ventilation of blower room is designed to maintain the temperature rice of blowers within
acceptable limits as recommended by International Electrical Commission (IEC).
All blower motors, installed within the blower room are assumed to be IC41 motors with class F
insulation.
Total energy loss , contributed for emission of heat is (10x58)

System Design.
The ventilating system is designed to provide clean, fresh air from outdoors and directed toward
blowers to cool its motors and thereafter exhaust this warm air from within the building.
The temperature limits of motor windings, recommended by IEC are as follows.
(i). Recommended maximum temperature to limit premature thermal ageing of insulation class F is
155 oC.
(ii). Maximum temperature rise recommended for class F motor winding is 100 oC.
Accordingly a temperature rise of 40oC is considered as the maximum allowable for the safe
operation of the blower motor since the life of motor winding is shortened when operating at a
constantly high temperature.

Since blowers are generating heat, it is recommended 15 air changes for the blower room.
Therefore volume of air = 15x volume of the building m3/hr
Air volume =

From equation (3) and (4), air flow of 12.08 m3/S should be consider for selection of air inlet fans.

The warm air generated within the building has to be removed and the rate of extraction has to be
maintained at about 80% of the rate of supply, so as to maintain a positive pressure inside within
the building in order to prevent the infiltration of dust and outside air. Therefore required air
extraction rate is 80% of the supply.
Air extraction rate =
9,67 m3/S
Since the pressure loss in the extraction system is unknown, the required extraction rate is
enhanced by 10-15% and given as the extraction rate at zero static pressure.
