Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 27327-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 117, Fans.
ISO 27327 consists of the following parts, under the general title Fans — Air curtain units:

ISO 27327-1:2009(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 27327 is the first developed by ISO/TC 117 and is intended to determine the aerodynamic
performance rating of an air curtain. The principal aerodynamic attributes determined by this part of
ISO 27327 are airflow rate, power consumption, velocity uniformity near the exit plane and average air curtain
core velocities at specified distances from the exit plane.
While a fan energy efficiency calculation is included in this part of ISO 27327, it is generally recognized by the
developers of this part of ISO 27327 that a different measure of energy effectiveness is more important and
meaningful than fan efficiency because the energy savings that can be obtained by a properly selected,
installed and controlled air curtain are significantly higher than the energy needed to drive the motor(s) of an
air curtain. This part of ISO 27327 is developed with the understanding that another test standard can be
developed at a later stage, which can define a test method for energy effectiveness.
This part of ISO 27327 is not intended as an in situ test International Standard and neither is it applicable to
thermodynamic performance.

Instruments and methods of measurement shall be in compliance with ISO 5801, except where specifically
noted.
4.1.2 Power
Power shall be measured with the following.
4.1.2.1 Wattmeter, having a certified accuracy of ± 1 % of the observed reading.
4.2 Preparation of air curtain airflow rate test
The ACU shall be mounted with its inlet sealed to the test chamber in compliance with the requirements of
Figure 1 a). The seal shall be adequate enough to minimize leakage. The air discharge nozzle or adjustable
vanes in the air discharge nozzle shall be set to 0° ± 3°. Additional tests may be run at discharge angles other
than 0°.
4.3 Test procedure
4.3.1 Initial conditions
The unit under test shall be energized and operated for not less than 15 min to allow equilibrium conditions to
become established before the first determination. If the unit is equipped with a heating and/or cooling
accessory (i.e. hydronic coil, electric coil and gas furnace), it shall be attached as catalogued. The accessory
shall not be powered or activated during any part of the test unless it contributes to the active generation of
airflow. In such cases, only the fan section(s) shall be energized.
4.3.2 Data to be recorded
4.3.2.1 ACU under test
The following information shall be recorded:
a) the initial conditions;
b) the name and address of the manufacturer;

a
4.3.3 Airflow rate determination
To establish the airflow rate at free-air delivery, a minimum of three determinations shall be taken at chamber
gauge stagnation pressures ranging from +25 Pa to −25 Pa. If a chamber gauge stagnation pressure of
−25 Pa cannot be obtained, then the lowest obtainable gauge stagnation pressure shall be used as the lower
limit and the negative of this value shall be considered the upper limit. Plans shall be made to vary the
chamber throttling device such that the test points will be well-spaced in terms of pressure. Approximately half
of these determinations shall be taken at a positive pressure and the other half at a negative pressure.
4.4 Calculation
4.4.1 General
Calculations, except as noted in this subclause, shall be in compliance with the requirements of ISO 5801.
4.4.2 Static pressure as a function of airflow rate

tested, is represented by the second order polynomial in Equation (13):

The value for K shall be negative, indicating that the static pressure vs. airflow curve is concave inward. If K

Fan energy efficiency is of less importance than ACU energy effectiveness due to the fact that the reduction of
energy loss by an air curtain is much more than the energy input to the air curtain.
