Central station air handler Vertical (indoor unit only)
The central station air handler is a heating, ventilating, or
air-conditioning unit that is centrally located in, or on, a
building or structure and from which air is distributed to
desired areas through a system of ducts.

Draw-thru units fan has forward-curved blades.
Horizontal Laws of fan performance
Fan laws are used to predict fan performance under chang-
ing operating conditions or by fan size. They are applicable
to all types of fans.
The fan laws are stated below. The symbols used in the
formulas represent the following variables:
CFM — Volume rate of flow through the fan.
RPM — Rotational speed of the impeller.
P — Pressure developed by the fan.
Hp — Horsepower input to the fan.
D — Fan wheel diameter. The fan size number can be
used if it is proportional to the wheel diameter.
W — Air density, varying directly as the barometric pres-
sure and inversely as the absolute temperature.
Application of these laws is limited to cases where fans
are geometrically similar.
