Good morning and welcome! Thank you for joining us at this, the first of many, industry specific fan seminars. This session is not intended to make you fan engineers or designers. Rather, it is intended to provide an overview of some key factors which come into play at the time of selecting a fan for a specific application. I plan on speaking for about 10 minutes. At the end, I will open the floor to any questions you may have.
