Vibration problems occurred in an air cooled heat exchanger with axial flow fan for a petrochemical plant were investigated. Experimental field test and theoretical verification were performed. To find the main cause of the high vibration of the fan at the air inlet of the axial fan, the frequency spectrum was measured. The natural frequency of the driving support of the heat exchanger was numerically calculated. Both of the measured and the natural frequency were approximately equal to the blade passing frequency. Because it was difficult to modify the structure of the driving support during the normal operation of the plant, the blade number of the fan was increased, which greatly reduced the vibration level of the heat exchanger.

Vibration problems induced by an air cooled heat exchanger with axial flow fan were investigated during the operation of a petrochemical plant. Two different studies were done; one was experimental field test and the other was theoretical verification. To find main cause of the blade passing frequency of the fan after installing additional blockage board at the air inlet of the axial fan, the frequency spectrum was measured. The vibrations of the blade passing frequency became higher. The natural frequency of driving support of the heat exchanger was theoretically calculated. It was approximately equal to the blade passing frequency. During the normal operation of the plant, it was impossible to modify the structure of the driving support. Instead, the blade number was increased to reduce vibration level. It increased the ratio of the forcing frequency to the natural frequency of the driving support over the resonance region.

최근의 사회적 경제적인 급속한 발전에 따라 환경 소음에 대한 사람들의 관심도가 점차 증가되고 있다. 이로 인하여 사람들이 항상 접촉하게 되는 가전 제품 에 대한 소비자의 욕수도 제품의 성능적인면도 물론이지만 소음진동 및 디자인에 대하여도 지대한 관심이 모아지고 있다. 가전 제품에 있어서 주된 소음원은 홴 및 압축기 덮개의 진동등으로 파악할 수 있다. 특히, 홴은 냉각용, 송풍용으로서 거의 모든 가전제품에 쓰여지고 있다. 냉각용으로 사용되는 형식은 주로 축류 홴이다. 축류 홴은 다른 종류보다 소음이 크기 때문에, 저소음 축류 홴의 BPF(Blade Passing Frequency; 날개 통과 주파수)가 갖는 소음 특성을 연구하여야 한다. 이를 위해 축류 홴의 날개 갯수를 조절하면 설치된 통내에서의 BPF가 어떠한 형태로 변화하는가를 알아보고, 이에 따른 저소음화 대책을 검토하고자 한다. 홴은 그 덮개에 대하여 유량 및 소음에 관한 최적의 위치가 존재하는데, 문이 잠겨 있을 때에는 그 소음 레벨의 편차가 몹시 크게 된다. 한편 날개 갯수, 모터의 회전속도 및 통의 전달 함수 등을 감안하여 날개 통과 주파수(BPF)를 조정하면, 각종 가전 제품의 홴에 의한 방사를 저감시킬수 있다.
