Abstract

A method for determining the positions of a number of fans (Vn,m) for generating an air flow in a preferably enclosed space. The fans (Vn,m) have an acceleration sensor to determine their position. The fans (Vn,m) are arranged in rows (R1, R2, . . . , Rn) and columns (S1, S2, . . . , Sm). At least the position (i, j) of one fan (Vi,j) is known.
