Spanish term

Potencia al freno en el acoplamiento del ventilador

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Mechanics / Mech Engineering
Hi,

I would appreciate your help with this term.

This refers to Induced draft fans. I am supposing "potencial al freno" is bhp; is "acoplamiento del ventilador" fan clutch? I can't really find anything about the bhp of a fan clutch.

Context:
"Potencia al freno en el acoplamiento del ventilador y velocidad, en rpm."

Thanks,

Robert

"Potencia al freno" is always "brake power".
In a fan, BP is Fan Brake Power.

Brake [horsepower] at the fan coupling

This means power as measured at the appropriate point by braking the device to a stop (much as is done with engines). "acoplamiento" is, primarily, a coupling, not a clutch -which is a type of them that can engage and disengage a device, but nothing like this is mentioned here.
