    AMCA Seeks Volunteers to Author Standard on Fan Efficiency Ratio

    March 17, 2015
    FER is the ratio of actual fan efficiency to a baseline fan efficiency, both calculated at a given airflow and pressure point.

    Air Movement and Control Association (AMCA) International Inc. is seeking volunteers to form a committee to author a standard introducing the fan-efficiency-ratio (FER) metric.

    FER is the ratio of actual fan efficiency to a baseline fan efficiency, both calculated at a given airflow and pressure point.

    Committee members will be expected to participate in drafting, review, and the resolution of any and all comments. Most, if not all, meetings will be by conference call. Once the technical committee is formed, work is expected to be completed within six to 18 months.

    To volunteer, complete the form at http://tinyurl.com/FER-Standard-Committee. The deadline is March 25, 2015.

    Scott Arnold | Executive Editor

    Described by a colleague as "a cyborg ... requir(ing) virtually no sleep, no time off, and bland nourishment that can be consumed while at his desk" who was sent "back from the future not to terminate anyone, but with the prime directive 'to edit dry technical copy' in order to save the world at a later date," Scott Arnold joined the editorial staff of HPAC Engineering in 1999. Prior to that, he worked as an editor for daily newspapers and a specialty-publications company. He has a bachelor's degree in journalism from Kent State University.
