The chart below, Figure B, shows the average fan speed for the exhaust fans over the course of several days. The dips in the chart represent times when the fans are not running, and the spikes represent when the fans are operating. The spikes in the fan’s speed vary slightly which means the fans are running more efficiently. The average fan speed for these exhausts was 66%.
