UPDATE ON FAN EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENTS - A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE
In April 2016, AMCA International and Asia AMCA hosted
the second International Fan Efficiency Regulation Symposium.
It was held in Beijing, just before the opening of the China
Refrigeration Show and immediately following a meeting of
the International Standards Organization Fan Technical Committee 117.
This symposium solidified a trend noted at the first International Fan Efficiency Regulation Symposium, which was
held in Swäibisch Hall, Germany, in 2014. That trend was
that, while fan efficiency regulation at the national level is a
global phenomenon, there are a wide variety of approaches
being taken. Metrics based on standards, surveillance and
efficiency levels are inconsistent across countries. For companies with presence in multiple countries, this leads to
difficulties in the importing and exporting of fans between
countries and in the management and presentation of performance data.
Uncertainty surrounds the U.S. Department of Energy's
regulation, as they have not yet published the draft test standard
and conservation standard. The test standard will solidify
whether the fan electrical input power (FEP), a metric agreed
upon by stakeholders during public negotiations, will be
upheld, and if the test standard will be based largely on ANSI/
AMCA Standard 210 as expected. The conservation standard,
which will establish the energy efficiency requirements for
covered fans, will answer the remaining questions about the
regulation's scope, effective date, labeling requirements and
other matters.
Table 1 summarizes the status of efficiency regulations
covered by nine presenters at the symposium.
