Abstract
This paper suggests the noise reduction method of the engine cooling fan. The fan noise contribution to the OASPL of engine room was estimated and the noise source was identified for the rotating fan by sound intensity method. And the program for Predicting the noise spectrum of axial flow fan was also developed. The radiated acoustic pressure is expressed in terms of discrete frequency noise Peaks at BPF and its harmonics and the line spectrum at the broad band by the proposed noise generation mechanisms. In this Paper, it Is shown that the comparison of the measured and calculated noise spectra of fan validates the noise predicting program. And this paper presents the characteristics of the fan noise in order to modify the design parameters. Accordingly, the design parameters were determined for the noise reduction of the fan.
