Abstract
A fan is an air pump that creates a pressure difference and causes airflow. The impeller does work on the air, imparting to it both static and kinetic energy, which vary in proportion, depending on the fan type. Fan efficiency ratings are based on ideal conditions. However, actual connections often make it impossible to achieve ideal efficiencies in the field.
