Abstract
The invention is based on the premise that, for a given air blower, the current I consumed by the electric motor, the rotational speed N and the air flow rate Q are interconnected, regardless of the dynamic pressure, by a law Q=f(I, N) which can be experimentally determined on a ventilation bench. In order to perform any adjustment, I and N are measured, from which a calculator derives Q by means of the above-mentioned law. The comparison of the calculated value with the desired flow rate Qd provides an error signal which is applied to a control device which determines the supply voltage (U) of the motor of the blower. The invention is applicable to heating or air-conditioning installations for the passenger space of vehicles.
