This fan selection is valid for operation at specified speed and blade angle only. Equipment must be operated at speed and blade angle
specified herein, deviation therefrom requires a renewed fan selection, subject to Howden validation. All performance figures are based upon
our experience and are such as we expect to obtain during tests, provided the input data specified by you conforms to actual operating
conditions of the Howden equipment. We will, however, accept no liability if those figures are not obtained unless we specifically guarantee
them in writing under an agreed sum, as liquidated damages, subject to the accuracy of the information provided by you and the recognised
tolerances and rejection limits applicable to such figures.
