airflow. Supply fans in standard package units use constant volume, which means they have a single high speed airflow. They supply this ventilation (fresh air) at maximum airflow 2000 Indoor Fan Power (Watts)
resulting in maximum energy usage. A Ruud Package Unit with VFD Technology, operates the supply fan at two speeds opposed to one. During the fan only mode and 1st stage cooling demand it operates at 50% of high speed. During 2nd stage cooling and heating demand it operates at 100%.
