Abstract
A method for controlling a fan group in order to generate a predefined total volumetric flow. The group of fans has a plurality of individual fans operated in parallel. Each generates an individual volumetric flow. The group of fans is divided into at least a first and a second control group. Each group has at least one fan. The individual volumetric flow of at least one fan of the first control group is increased by adjusting into a range of optimum efficiency by a speed change. This maintains constant flow. The individual volumetric flow of at least one fan of the second control group is reduced accordingly by a rotational speed reduction. All the fans contribute to the total volume flow at all times and no fan of the second control group will be switched off at any time.
