However, since the drum-type drum fan is generally small in size, and the guide ring and the box mounting bracket are an integrated structure, the throat of the guide ring inlet is short, and there is insufficient space for the pressure tapping port to be installed. Therefore, other methods are needed to determine the volume flow delivered. Utility Model Content
