Advertised Vs. Real Performance
This is probably the most crucial page, showing how accurate is the data provided by the manufacturers/brands on their products. Since nobody so far could verify these numbers, it was an open field for every brand to declare whatever it wanted, but this stops now.
- Max Speed (RPM): 2000/ 2098
- Max Input Current (A): 0.70 / 0.22
- Max Power (W): 3.24 / 2.64
- Qmax (CFM): 57.11 / 58.04
- Pmax (mmAq): 2.39 / 2.01
- Max Noise Level (dBA): 30.6 / 36
The claimed airflow is 1.63% higher than the claimed performance, so it is accurate. The claimed static pressure is pretty far from the true one, with a 15.9% difference. The same goes for the maximum noise output, where I measured a 5.4 dBA higher level, which is a noticeable difference.
There are specific guidelines for taking noise measurements in information technology and telecommunications equipment (ISO7779: 2018), which I follow strictly.
