Overview
prEN ISO 13350 (ISO/DIS 13350:2018) specifies laboratory procedures for the performance testing of jet fans - fans used primarily for longitudinal ventilation in tunnels and enclosed car parks. The standard defines which performance characteristics to measure, how to instrument tests, and how to present results. It applies to jet fans as defined in ISO 13349 and excludes ducted fans and fans intended solely for room air circulation (e.g., ceiling or table fans). The document circulated as a draft (ISO/DIS 13350:2018) and the third edition updates the 2015 version with revised references and a new normative annex on sound-level determination.
Key Topics
- Measured characteristics: thrust, input power, sound levels, vibration velocity, and volume flowrate.
- Instrumentation & methods: force-balance systems and force transducers for thrust; power measurement for input power; standardized acoustic and vibration instrumentation; pressure and temperature sensors for flowrate measurement.
- Thrust determination: procedures for both suspended and supported test configurations and detailed test-enclosure guidance.
- Acoustics: guidance on sound-level measurement and reference to ISO acoustic series (ISO 3740/3744, ISO 13347) plus a practical normative Annex A for common sound-level methods.
- Flowrate methods: upstream chamber, upstream Pitot traverse, and directly connected flow-measuring devices.
- Presentation & conversions: standardized reporting of product description, performance curves, tolerances and conversion rules, plus annexes on non-dimensional coefficients and efficiency based on thrust.

ISO/DIS 13350:2018(E)
Introduction
The need for a new edition of ISO 13350 has been evident for some time. The use of the so-called
jet fan to assist in the control of quality of air in vehicle and train tunnels has become increasingly
popular. Longitudinal methods of ventilation can show advantages in both capital cost and running cost
compared to alternative systems. Smoke and pollution control in emergency conditions can be readily
provided. Jet fans can also be used for ventilation and smoke control in enclosed car parks.
This International Standard deals with the determination of those performance criteria essential to the
correct application of jet fans. In describing the test and rating procedures, numerous references are
made to ISO 5801 as well as to other relevant International Standards.

For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 13349, ISO 5801 and the
following apply.
ISO/DIS 13350:2018(E)
3.1
jet fan
fan used for producing a jet of air in a space and not connected to any ducting, that is type E category/
configuration. Performance must only be expressed as thrust and efficiency is determined from thrust
measurement or calculation. Performance characteristics relating to pressure development are not
compliant
Note 1 to entry: The air jet can be used, for example, for adding momentum to the air within a tunnel or other
space (e.g. enclosed car park), or for intensifying the heat transfer in a determined zone.

conventional quantity representative of the dynamic component of the fan output, calculated, in the
particular case of a jet fan, from the effective fan outlet velocity and the inlet density
Note 1 to entry: The effective fan dynamic pressure will not be the same as the average of the dynamic pressures
across the section because it excludes from consideration that part of the dynamic energy flux, which is due only
to departures from uniform axial velocity distribution.
3.2.1
gross fan outlet area
A
surface plane bounded by the downstream extremity of the air-moving device
Note 1 to entry: Gross fan outlet area is, by convention, taken as the gross area in the outlet plane inside the
casing or duct or silencer, (see Figure 1) without taken into account any obstructions inside the fan outlet.

3.2.2
effective fan outlet area
A
eff
outlet area with deductions for motors, fairings, or other obstructions (in the particular case
of a jet fan)
Note 1 to entry: If the silencer centrebody reaches the outlet plane of the fan, then, the effective fan outlet area is
defined as the annulus area at the fan outlet plane, as shown in Figure 2a).
Note 2 to entry: If the fan has a silencer without centrebody [see Figure 2b)], the effective fan outlet area will be
close to the cross- sectional area inside the silencer in order to clear any exit bellmouth form.
Note 3 to entry: If the centrebody (motor or silencer core) does not extend to the outlet plane, the effective fan
outlet area will approach the annulus area between the casing and the motor, but with some increase, as defined
in Figure 2c), for the distance between the centrebody and the outlet. Where the motor is on the upstream side,
Figure 2c) is applied to the impeller hub rather than the motor, as illustrated.
Note 4 to entry: For comparisons within the scope of research and development, alternative definitions have
been used with some success.

5 Characteristics to be measured
5.1 General
In order that a jet fan be correctly applied and give satisfactory performance and reliability in service,
it is necessary to determine a number of technical performance characteristics in addition to knowing
the more obvious mechanical features, such as mass, overall dimensions, and installation dimensions.
5.2 Thrust
Friction on the tunnel walls, inlet, and outlet losses and sometimes traffic drag, combined with climatic
effects at tunnel portals, create a pressure drop through the tunnel. The pressure drop is matched by
the sum of the pressure increases by the jet fans due to the momentum transfer between fan discharge
airflow and airflow in the tunnel. As it is impossible to measure the momentum of the fan discharge
airflow, and the rate of change in momentum is equal and opposite to the thrust, thrust is measured
instead.

ISO/DIS 13350:2018(E)
5.3 Input power
In order to design the tunnel installation, it is necessary to know the input power to the fan motor. Also,
it is needed to determine the overall efficiency of the jet fan.
5.4 Sound levels
Sound levels, usually at inlet and outlet, are established in order to ensure that the jet fan and silencer
combination is optimized to match the tunnel sound level requirements.
NOTE The fan manufacturer can only guarantee the sound power level of the fan. The sound pressure in
the tunnel will depend on the size and sound absorption characteristics of the tunnel, which are outside the fan
manufacturer's responsibility.
5.5 Vibration velocity
For reasons of safety, reliability, and maintainability, it is essential that a realistic vibration velocity is
specified and recorded on jet fans. These shall be measured in accordance with ISO 14695.
5.6 Volume flowrate
Volume flowrate need only be measured if required for contractual reasons. It is the effective fan outlet
velocity which is used to evaluate the optimum number, size, and spacing of jet fans in a tunnel, and is
calculated in accordance with 11.2.
6 Instrumentation and measurements
6.1 Dimension and areas
The measurement of dimensions and the determination of areas shall be in accordance with
ISO 5801:2007, Clause 11.
6.2 Rotational speed
The rotational speed of the impeller shall be determined in accordance with ISO 5801:2007, Clause 9.
6.3 Thrust
6.3.1 Force balance systems
By the use of calibrated weights, force balance systems shall permit the determination of force or thrust
with an uncertainty of ±5 %.
6.3.2 Force transducers
After calibration by the use of calibrated weights, force transducers shall permit the determination of
thrust with an uncertainty of ±5 %.
6.4 Input power
Determination of the power input to the electric motor or to the impeller shall be carried out in
accordance with ISO 5801:2007, Clause 10. P and P are determined by correcting the measured power
e r
for a density of 1,2 kg/m .
ISO/DIS 13350:2018(E)
6.5 Sound level
The sound-level measuring system, including microphones, windshields, cables, amplifiers, and
frequency analyser, shall be in accordance with the requirements given in ISO 13347.
6.6 Vibration velocity
Instruments to measure root mean square (r.m.s.) vibration velocity shall be used to record fan
vibration velocities. These shall be in accordance with ISO 14695.
6.7 Volume flowrate
6.7.1 Instruments for the measurement of pressure
Manometers for the measurement of differential pressure and barometers for the measurement
of atmospheric pressure in the test enclosure shall comply with the requirements of ISO 5801:2007,
Clause 6.
6.7.2 Instruments for the measurement of temperature
Thermometers shall comply with the requirements of ISO 5801:2007, Clause 8.
7 Determination of thrust
7.1 General
There are two basic configurations acceptable for the determination of fan thrust, T , by direct
m
measurement, these are
— suspended configuration, and
— supported configuration.
T is determined by correcting the measured thrust value for a density of 1,2 kg/m , i.e.
m
3 3
T = Thrust · 1,2 [kg/m ]/ρ [kg/m ].
m measured a
In addition to the need to measure force accurately, the first method requires that the low friction
suspension elements be kept precisely vertical and parallel with a vertical plane(s) passing through
the fan axis, while the second method requires accurate construction, low friction, and levelling of the
support assembly. In either case, thrust shall be determined by the use of calibrated weights, spring
balance, or force
