Outline of Test Circuit for Fan Testings Before this time the radial-flow fan was one of the least efficient fluid-moving machines. Nowadays the reverse is true, and the change has been brought about by scientific research. In the past aerofoil theory had been successful when applied to axial-flow fans but not to radial-flow fans.

The situation has changed owing to the development of boundary-layer theory and its applica- tion to radial-flow fans. Of especial importance in the new development of this particular fan was the decisive effect of a free whirl unknown up to that time. Thus theoretical advances have opened up very interesting possibilities for the develop- ment of new fans, and both engineers and research men should devote their full attention to this branch of turbo-machines.

By this he means that firms have been left to develop their own designs without assistance from research institutions and the Government and, in consequence, little real information has been published. In England the situation is such that no authoritative textbook on fan engineering exists.

The editors recognised this and, as a result, the present translation of Dr. The book gives the fundamental fluid dynamics of turbo-machinery and applies this to fans.

It continues with experimental investigations of fans and includes a comprehensive account of all work done in this field. Both theoretical and empirical results are then applied to problems of design. All applications of fans are dealt with in considerable detail.

Some sixty pages of the present edition are devoted to the important subject of noise generation and its control in fans. The book reveals many gaps in existing knowledge and presents a challenge to both engineers and research workers in the field.

Our own survey of the literature shows that two institutes, one in Germany and one in Russia, have developed such techniques, which are adapted to the direct measurement of fluid flow between the blades of the rotating impeller. Thus all components of the velocity triangle may be measured directly without relying on dubious assumptions.

The validity of existing theories of fan design may now be tested experimentally for the first time. It appears that no work of a comparable nature is being done in this country. From the point of view of developing what in Great Britain is a comparatively backward industry, it seems to us essential that effort and finance be devoted to this field. The book should be of interest to students, teachers, practising engineers, designers, and research workers, and indeed anyone concerned with the design or application of fans.

In particular, we wish to name Mr. Daly of Woods of Colchester, and Mr. Janicki and Dr. Chrenko of the National College for their generous and unstinted assistance.

Our grateful acknowledgments are due also to Woods of Colchester for their financial help and encouragement. AzAD D. As far as high-efficiency blowers are concerned, the latest improvements seem to have reached the maximum possible limits.

The new performances of multi-blade blowers are noteworthy: they are widely used in certain applications on account of their silence in operation and small sizes. New types of application for cross-flow fans have become available and it is now pos- sible to explain the theory and construction of these unconventional fans to some extent. T have created a new and comprehensive system of classifying characteristics for all types of fan. In the field of automatic control of centrifugal as well as axial-flow fans, progress has been achieved.

It is, however—as previously—still very difficult to adjust fans to given operating condi- tions, Many fans are wrongly selected, Investigation into this difficult problem by research is indispensable, as otherwise it will not be possible to take advantage of the high efficiency now obtainable with new types of fan.

In the meantime the demand for noise reduction of fans and adjacent installations be- comes more and more urgent. For certain applications these requirements are even more im- perative than high efficiencies. It became essential to improve the treatment of the subject of fan technology by dealing with acoustic problems.

Regenscheit and E. Goeh- lich undertook to deal with this fairly new subject; we are grateful for their contribution. Thanks are due to Baurat Dipl. Niermeyer, Berlin, who carefully checked this new edition, and to the publishers Springer-Verlag for the presentation of this book, especially for the very great number of new illustrations.

In the meantime considerable progress has been made in the development of fans. The progressive improvement of the centrifugal fan led to a reassess ment. The result is that it deservedly regained its former lead. With regard to quality the centrifugal fan is superior to the axial-flow fan. There has been noteworthy progress in controls. Attention has been given to the new development of meridian accelerated con- structions in axial-flow fans.

One may predict the development of cross-flow fans. A few years ago fans were the least efficient when compared with other types of turbo- machine. Nowadays the increase in the efficiency of fans is such that they can rank with the best of other turbo-machines, i.

The comparatively rapid development of new types of fan emphasises problems which had been previously ignored. To take complete advantage of the newest types of fan it is imperative to match them with operating conditions more effectively than hitherto.

This entails many practical difficulties. In addition to methods of measurement, drive problems, and automatic control, selection of the motive power becomes more important than ever before. Special treatment of these subjects in the text was therefore unavoidable.

The improvements in fan efficiencies achieved in the last few years are remarkable. At the same time it seems that centrifugal fans have been able to regain the lead from the axial- flow fan. For a long time the axial-flow fan was ahead previously on account of its parti- cular construction. If one recalls that more than 1 million kW fan power is installed in Germany alone, one can assess the importance which such an increase in efficiency represents.

The fan has been the stepchild of technology in the past. Its development received scien- tific attention only when there were prospects of military application. Owing to these circumstances only a few firms were engaged in developmental and research work at their own expense. The firms were reluctant to publish their findings. Since it was difficult to ascertain the progress made, the author was forced to put more emphasis on his own research work.

A review of fan technology must deal with attempts to increase efficiency, but the vast field of applications, viz. With these the prime consideration is the construction of noiseless fans, an aim which is not always compatible with highest efficiency.

Thus it happens that many types of construction remain on the market despite low efficiencies, as they fulfil a very real demand. In addition there are many applications, e. A fan with the highest effi- ciency does not always satisfy these conditions. Frequently, however, remarkable improve- ments have been achieved. Constructions with high-pressure characteristics are superior in the field, The existing possibilities can best be exemplified by the fact that the pressure charac- teristic of cross-flow blowers is about sixty times greater than that of axial-flow impellers.

An ideal im- peller is defined as an impeller having an infinite number of blades, so that all friction loss is eliminated, and the relative motion of the air will be in the same direction as the actual blade. Furthermore, the thickness of the blades is considered to be infinitely small. This arrangement, although very different from practice, is a very useful basis for discus- sion. Streamline theories are, however, absolutely essential for comparisons and often very useful in other connections.

We shall assume that the impeller revolves with a peripheral velocity w, and that the air enters the impeller in a radial direction, so that its entry into the blade passages is tangen- tial to their direction.

This type of air entry we shall call shock-free. The assumption that the impeller has an infinite number of blades implies that, on exit from the impeller, a fluid has a relative velocity which is in the same direction as the tangent at the tip of the blades, whereas in actual fact, i. In actual cases under consideration air does not enter in a truly radial direction but at an angle «, to the circumference, as seen by a standing observer, due to the pre-rotation im- posed upon the air in the direction of the rotary movement of the impeller.

Figure ] shows typical velocity diagrams for entry and exit with designations custom- arily employed in turbine construction. The student should study the construction and meaning of the different quantities thereon so that they become very familiar. As a simple guide the student should memorise the following sentence: the vector sum of the relative velocity and the peripheral velocity gives the absolute velocity.

With a flow through such an impeller the first question to be asked is: how great is the turning moment required to produce such a flow? The theorem of momentum in me- chanics supplies us with the necessary information. When it is applied in our case, the significant point is that the resultant torque is given by the difference between the out- going and incoming moments of momentums.

Impeller with backward-curved blades and other details, Furthermore, one may ask: what is the amount of energy supplied in relation to the output?

As we are considering a frictionless flow through the impeller, the external energy supplied to the fluid is converted into pressure energy: energy transformation is con- sidered as being perfect and therefore losses have not been considered, so that the energy supplied is the same as the energy at discharge.

If one considers the mass flow per second q to consist of solid particles which are raised through a height H in one second, the rate of working or power due to the displacement is given by Hgg.

One must note that the total pressure is designated by Ap. Starting with the difference of the static pressure 1p,,,, one gets the total energy by adding the variation in kinetic energy between entry and exit: 2 2 gt — 2 ca — ce. The integral is dependent on whether changes are isothermal, isentropic, or polytropic.

Percentage decrease of density of moist air with falling temperature. In the practice of fan design, density is the only physical pro- perty of gases and vapours that receives attention.

Meshing flow domains In order to analyse fluid flows, flow domains are split into smaller sub domains which are made up of geometric primitives like quadrilaterals and triangles in 2D. The sub domains are often called elements or cells, and the collection of all elements or cells is called a mesh or grid.

The process of obtaining an appropriate mesh or grid is termed mesh generation or grid generation , and has long been considered a bottleneck in the analysis process due to the lack of a fully automatic mesh generation procedure. Computational approach: Fluent software is used for solving the Navier-Stokes equations governing the physics of the flow inside the centrifugal fan system. BB code is On. Smilies are On.
