Recently, according to the tendency to the more comfortable automobile, the improvement of performance of the cooling fan is required. The performance of cooling fan is affected by many peripheral parts, such as radiator, condenser, engine block and etc. Therefore, it is important to consider the effect of peripheral components on the fan performance in design and analysis stages. In this paper, the performance of automobile cooling fan is investigated experimentally by using the large capacity fan tester based on the ASHRAE and the AMCA standards. In particular, the various spacing between cooling fan and engine block are considered to obtain the effect of engine block. An empirical relation between the fan flow rate and the spacing was proposed.

일반적으로 자동차용 냉각팬은 차량 냉각기의 온도를 낮추기 위해 사용되고 있다. 자동차용 냉각팬은 플라스틱 사출 공정에 의해 제작되며 사출시 사용되는 모재의 불균일성으로 인해 냉각팬 날개의 무게 중심이 중심에서 벗어나는 경우가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 불균형은 자동차 소음의 주된 원인이 되기 때문에 이에 대한 검사는 필수적으로 요구된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 로드셀을 이용한 냉각팬 회전날개에서 발생되는 불균형의 위치 및 크기를 효율적으로 검출할 수 있는 팬 밸런서를 개발하고자 한다.

The performance of cooling fan is affected by many peripheral parts, such as radiator, condenser, engine block and etc. Higher power has been requested in more confined automobile engine room. Thus, cooling performance becomes very important to remove the heat generated from the automobile engine more efficiently. In this paper, the performance of cooling fan including effects of engine block is investigated by using a fan tester based on the ASHRAE and the AMCA standards. A flow rate - gap distance curves and a flow rate - engine block constant curves are obtained from this study.

Aerodynamic noise generated by automobile cooling fan is investigated. Automobile cooling fans radiate both discrete frequency noise as well as broadband noise. In the present work, the former is considered through free-wake panel method coupled with acoustic analogy fully considering the retarded time variation on the blade surface, while the latter is taken into account by three well-established broadband noise components. Experiments were performed to supplement necessary inputs as well as to provide the final comparison with the predicted noise spectrum. The predicted noise levels at blade passing frequencies agree well with the experimental data for the first few harmonics. Although the predicted broadband noise levels at higher frequencies fall below the experimental data due to the fundamental shortcomings of the utilized formulations, the analysis offers a detailed physical understanding of the fan noise generation processes.

Automobile cooling fans are operated with a radiator module. To design low noise, high performance cooling fan, radiator resistance should be considered in the design process. The system (radiator) resistance reduces axial velocity and increases effective angle of attack. This increasing effective angle of attack mechanism causes blade stall, performance decrease and noise increase. In this paper, To analyze fan performance, freewake and 3D CFD calculations are used To design high performance fan with consideration of system resistance, optimal twist concept is applied through momentum and blade element theory. To predict fan noise, empirical formula and acoustic analogy methods are used.

본 연구에서는 자동차 냉각팬에 대해서 유동해석을 수행하였다. 냉각팬의 형상에 대하여 유동 조건은 같게 하여 Canival, Teracan 및 basic 3가지의 모델을 CATIA프로그램으로 설계하여 본 해석을 실시하였다. 날개의 모양에 따라 유체의 속도의 등고선이 변화하는 것을 볼 수 있으며, 날개의 모양 또는 넓이에 따라 각기 다른 압력분포를 볼 수 있었다. 세 가지 모델 중, Teracan 모델인 냉각팬이 공기의 유동이 많아 라디에이터의 열을 식히는데 가장 효율적이 된다고 사료된다. 그리고 디자인 면에서의 융합 기술로의 접목도 가능하여 미적인 감각을 나타낼 수 있다.

This paper proposes an optimal design scheme to reduce the noise of the engine cooling fan by adapting Kriging with two meta-heuristic techniques. An engineering model has been developed for the prediction of the noise spectrum of the engine cooling fan. The noise of the fan is expressed as the discrete frequency noise peaks at the BPF and its harmonics and line spectrum at the broad band by noise generation mechanisms. The object of this paper is to find the optimal design for noise reduction of the engine cooling fan. We firstly show a comparison of the measured and calculated noise spectra of the fan for the validation of the noise prediction program. Orthogonal array is applied as design of experiments because it is suitable for Kriging. With these simulated data, we can estimate a correlation parameter of Kriging by solving the nonlinear problem with genetic algorithm and find an optimal level for the noise reduction of the cooling fan by optimizing Kriging estimates with simulated annealing. We notice that this optimal design scheme gives noticeable results. Therefore, an optimal design for the cooling fan is proposed by reducing the noise of its system.

Fan noise prediction method is presented for air conditioning, automobile and electronic cooling system applications where fan acts as an internal equipment having very complicated flow interaction with other various system components. The internal flow paths and distribution in the fan-applied systems such as computer or air conditioner are analyzed by using the FNM(flow network modeling). Fan noise prediction method comprises two models for the discrete frequency noise due to rotating steady aerodynamic lift and blade interaction and for the broadband noise due to turbulent boundary layer and wake vortex shedding. Based on the fan operation point predicted from the FNM analysis results and fan design parameters, the present far noise model predicts overall sound pressure level and spectrum. The predictions for the flow distribution, the fan operation and the noise level in air cooling system by the present method are well agreed with 3-D CFD and actual noise test results.
