Ventilation CFM Calculator

Estimate supply flow in litres per second and cubic feet per minute from air changes and room volume.

 

 

Flow (L/s)
Flow (CFM)

About this calculator

Use this calculator when a brief asks for ACH and you need the fan flow. Enter air changes per hour and the room volume in cubic metres.

Flow (m³/s) = ACH × volume ÷ 3600. L/s = that flow × 1000. CFM = L/s ÷ 0.47194745. Volume stays in m³. CFM is a parallel display, not a converted L/s picker.

This is a well-mixed-room conversion. It does not size ducts or a filter.

ACH: Target air changes per hour.

Volume (m³): Room volume in cubic metres.

Flow (L/s): Supply flow in litres per second.

Flow (CFM): Same flow in cubic feet per minute.
