본 논문에서는 쾌적한 운전 환경을 제공하기 위해 자동차 시트를 냉각시키기 위한 고성능 및 저소음 원심팬을 개발하였다. 먼저 팬 성능 테스터 및 전산유체역학(Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD) 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 기존 팬 장치의 유동 특성을 분석하였다. 예측한 유동장 분석을 통하여 팬 허브 팁 근처의 와류 및 팬 허브 상단의 정체된 유동 현상이 관측되었다. 이러한 와류 및 정체 유동을 줄이기 위해 두 가지 설계 요소를 고안하였다. 첫째, 팬 날개와 팬 하우징 최소 간극(cut-off)를 증가시켜 난류강도를 줄이고 그 결과로 전체적인 음압 레벨을 줄이고자 하였다. 둘째, 허브 형상은 정체 유동을 줄이기 위해 형상을 변경하였다. 제안된 설계의 타당성을 수치해석을 통해 확인하였다. 수치해석결과를 바탕으로 프로토타입을 제작하고 팬 테스터에서 측정한 성능 곡선(P-Q curve)과 반무향실에서 측정한 음압 레벨의 분석을 통해서 유동과 소음 성능의 향상을 확인하였다.

This article shows the study on the arresting sound occurrence due to the interaction of the centrifugal Fan and bellmouth suction flow with bellmouth height as variable. It has accomplished to measure of inlet noise and also to analysis suction pressure distribution through experiment and also using CFD. The main cause of sound occurrence was judged with the effect due to static pressure change of bellmouth surface.

The performance of the centrifugal fan in a vacuum cleaner is affected by the hydraulic loss, such as the friction loss, the recirculation loss and the impact loss etc., Those losses depend on the rotational speed of the impeller, the inlet and exit widths, the relative flow angles to the blade, the number of the blades and the geometry of the shroud and the diffuser. These parameters are complicatedly interrelated, so the experimental means in analyzing the fans are rather limited. In the present study, the flow analysis are done numerically by changing the relevant fan parameters. A commercial code, STAR-CD, is used for the calculations. It is seen from the analyses that the computational results agree well with the experimental results. The results obtained can be used for the basic design of a centrifugal fan.

It is not easy to apply a small-sized centrifugal fan to the duct used for the thermal management of home electronic appliances due to complex design parameters of its blades and scroll. The main objective of this study was to develop the systematic process to design an optimal centrifugal fan based on the 3-dimensional configuration of blades obtained from the conceptual design program self-developed with the given design constraints such as the flow rate, the total pressure loss, the size of fan, and the number of rotation. The design process to find an optimal centrifugal fan for refrigerator was technologically linked in many ways. The complex grid generation system of the fan model included scroll was adopted for the numerical simulation. The FVM CFD code, FLUENT, was used to investigate the three dimensional flow pattern at the coordinate system of rotating frame and to check the optimal performance of the fan. By using this design process, a selected centrifugal fan was designed, numerically simulated, manufactured and experimentally tested in the wind tunnel. The performance curve of fan manufactured by NC process was compared with numerically obtained characteristic curve. The developed design method was proved into being excellent because these two curves were well matched.

A cleaner has trouble with too much noise and power consumption. To solve these problems, the investigation for motors, which are the main component of vacuum cleaner, is required. However, it is difficult to analyze the flow by the experimental means because of the high speed of the fan rotation ranging from 30,000 rpm to 50,000 rpm. Moreover it takes much time to perform the numerical simulation for the flow. In this research, it is aimed to analyse the flow through the centrifugal fan which is believed to be a main noise source, by the computational method. The efficiency of the centrifugal fan is affected by friction loss, shock loss and so on. Those losses depend on factors like the velocity of impeller, blade shape and etc. Accordingly, the influence of the shape of impeller on the flow is investigated in this study. The computational analysis was done by changing impeller shapes. The flow around the centrifugal fan is simulated by applying the moving mesh. To verify the validity of the computation results, the air flow rate and the pressure field to the cleaner is compared with the experimental data. All simulations are performed by using commercial code SC/Tetra. The calculated results show good agreement with the experimental ones qualitatively and it is believed to be promising to use computational simulation in the improvement of the vacuum cleaner performance.

The performance of a centrifugal fan depends on the dimensional parameters of impeller, such as the inlet and exit diameter, area ratio, relative flow angles to the blade, and number of blades. These design parameters, however, are inter-related, so it is very difficult to identify the effect of each parameter to the fan performance. In this experimental study the effect of the design parameters on the performance of a small centrifugal impeller being used for vacuum cleaners are investigated. Total 30 shrouded impellers with 120mm diameter were tested and the results were non-dimensionalized to compare their performance.

This paper was a study about noise reduction through flow stabilization in duel using experimental method and numerical analysis at the same time. To determine the fan's type three kinds of fans(axial fan, centrifugal fan, and axial fan with centrifugal type) was examined to investigate the suitability for duct. As a result, under the equal number of rotation 2000 RPM, performance of an axial fan with centrifugal type was the most superior by 55dBA at 4.3CMM among other fans. After this, analyzed the results of the numerical analysis to find out the optimum design of pitch angle such as $0^{\circ},\;10^{\circ},\;15^{\circ}\;and\;20^{\circ}$. The intensity of turbulence was low when pitch angle was $15^{\circ}$ and air volume became peak by 5.08 CMM. It was observed that axis component of velocity increased gradually when pitch angle increased from $0^{\circ}\;to\;20^{\circ}$. Finally, designed the shapes of D/S(Down Stream) in duct that agreed inlet angle($\delta$) of stationary blades with pitch angle($\beta$) of axial fan with centrifugal type and derived flow to duct medial, and changed the shape of motor-mount to reduce occurance of unstable vortex in tip of impeller, and embodied noise reduction and improvement of air flow rate through flow stabilization.

The objective of this study is to understand the generation mechanism of sound and to develop a prediction method for the unsteady flow field and the acoustic pressure field of a centrifugal fan. Lowson's method is used to predict the acoustic pressure in a free field. A DVM(discrete vortex method) is used to model the centrifugal fan and to calculate the flow field. In order to compare the experimental data, a centrifugal fan and wedge introduced by Weidemann are used in the numerical calculation and the results are compared with the experimental data.
