46、In lieu of testing every configuration, it is acceptable to extend ttest data to other configurationsconfigurations in accordance with the provisions of the following subsections: 5.3.1 Application of Fan Laws to Units with Inlet Vanes. Units with inlet vanes may be rated one of three ways: 1) using
47、 the fan laws as described by Section 5.3.2 for proportional units with proportional fans and inlet vanes; 2) using the fan laws as described in Section 5.3.3 for proportional units with non-proportional fans and inlet vanes; or 3) using the fan laws by applying the appropriate inlet vane derate fac
48、tors to units without inlet vanes rated per Sections 5.3.2 or 5.3.3 when the inlet vanes of the test unit are proportional to the inlet vanes of the rated units. (Since all requirements for proportionality of cabinets, fan impellers, and housing are satisfied by provisions in either Section 5.3.2 or 5.3.3 without inlet vanes, rated units with inlet vanes derived by inlet vane derate factors must only meet inlet vane proportionality criteria.) Inlet vanes shall be considered to be proportional when the
