Early 911 245 mm fan with 1.3: 1 pulley ratio 1390 ltr/sec @ 6100 rpm


..................diameter (mm).........rpm.........pulley ratio....speed (ft/sec)

early 911................245..............6100.......... ..1.3 ..............334

76-77 5 blade..........245..............6100............1. 8...............462

SC.......... ...............226..............6100............1. 8...............426
.
930..........................245.............6100. ..........1.68...............431

964/993................... 279.............6100............1.6............... 468

1965-74/75...... 110 mm crank..................95 mm fan pulley
1976-77... ........130 mm crank..................83 mm fan pulley
1978-79............130 mm crank... ..............80 mm fan pulley
1980-89............120 mm crank..................83 mm fan pulley

fan sizes / blades / air flow:

1965-74/75........245 mm / 11 pales.........1.3:1 ratio..1390 liters air/sec
1975/76- 77......245 / 5 pales..................1.8:1 ratio....1265 l/sec
1978-79............226 / 11 pales ...............1.8:1 ratio...1380 l /sec
1980-89............245 mm / 11 blade.........1.67:1 ratio...1500 l/ sec
964...............279mm / 12 pales......... 1.6:1 ratio..1010 l /sec (!)

And the best part:

An original 12-blade 964 fan uses only 8,1 hp at 6100 rpm!!
I say that is WAY less than a type 1 fan at that rpm
