Small-sized fans for cooling electronic components are usually produced by injection molding in unified form including blade and hub. However, in case of middle and large-sized fans, they deal ill various products with varied numbers of blade or stagger angles after designing a single blade by molding or aluminum die casting. At this occasion, it is necessary to study design method for high-performance axial fans can be operated with various numbers of blades or stagger angle using unique blade for specified conditions. Therefore, the goal in this study is developing a optimal design method which improves performance of axial fans within the large range of operating by single blade.

축류팬은 상대적으로 저압의 유동 영역에서 유동을 수송하기 위해 사용되며, 다양한 설계 변수에 대해 설계된다. 축류팬의 날개 끝 형상은 유동 및 소음 성능에 지배적인 역할을 수행하며 이에 대한 대표적인 유동 현상으로 날개 끝에서 발생하는 날개 끝 와류와 누설 와류가 있다. 이러한 3차원 유동 구조를 제어하기 위해 다양한 연구가 수행되어 왔으며, 항공기 분야에서 날개 끝 와류를 억제하고 효율을 증가시키기 위해 윙렛 형상이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 에어컨 실외기용 축류팬 날개에 적용된 윙렛 형상의 영향을 분석하기 위한 수치적, 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 3차원 유동 구조 및 유동 소음을 수치적으로 분석하기 위해 unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) 방정식과 Ffocws-Williams and Hawkings(FW-H) 방정식을 전산유체역학 기법에 기초하여 수치 해석하였으며, 실험 결과와의 비교를 통해 수치 기법의 유효성을 검증하였다. 윙렛 형상에 따른 날개 끝 와류와 누설 와류의 형성의 차이를 3차원 유동장을 통해 비교하고, 그에 따른 공기역학적 성능을 정량적으로 비교하였다. 또한, 예측 유동장을 바탕으로 소음을 수치적으로 모사하여 윙렛 형상이 유동 소음 측면에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 대상 팬 모델의 시제품을 제작하여 유동 및 소음 실험을 실시하여 실제 성능을 정량적으로 평가하였다.

In this paper, an integrated system of optimal design, performance evaluation, and die design and manufacturing of axial fans for cooling tower is presented. The design and performance evaluation are developed based on three dimensional flow analysis so as to ensure low noise and high efficiency. The methodologies are implemented on computer as a GUI system including 3-D surface modeling and 2-D drawing file output modules. The CAD/CAM system is engaged to design the die and generate NC tool path, but the processes are also automated and integrated into the system by means of a part program coded from the design data. It is shown that the newly developed fans have superior performance and shortened lead-time compared to the existing dead-copied fans.

A novel 12/10 axial field switched reluctance motor (AF-SRM) is proposed for cooling fan applications in this paper. Unlike from conventional structures, the proposed motor uses the axial field instead of the radio field, the rotor is constructed from a series of discrete segments, and the stator poles are constructed from two types of stator poles: exciting and auxiliary poles. This concept improves the torque capability of a previous design by reducing the copper volume, which leads to a higher efficiency. To verify the proposed structure, the finite element method (FEM) and Matlab-Simulink are employed to get characteristics of the proposed SRM. Finally, a prototype of the proposed motor was tested for characteristic comparisons.

Micro fans of randomly swept-blades were designed to provide C.P.U. in a personal computer with effective cooling in a very quiet mode. The proto--type axial micro-fans machined by a laser sintering machine were tested against manufactured products by comparing the performance and overall sound pressure level with spectral measurements in an environment suggested by ASHRAE and ANSI standards. The predicted OSPLs and directivity patterns of fans by iDesignFan software were in good agreements with measured data. The newly introduced fans of randomly swept-blades were proved to provide a very promising mode of low noise at small loading conditions.

This paper presents research on methods for the reduction of forklifts' noise level for the increased comfort and safety of its operator. A cooling fan with a high air volume flow rate installed in the forklift acts as an important design parameter which efficiently cools the heat exchanger system, helping to transfer internal heat from the engine room to the outdoors with both transmitted and diffracted opening noises. The cooling fan contributes significantly to both the forklift's emitted sound power and the operator room's noise level, thereby necessitating research on the forklift's reduction of acoustic power level and transmission. A noise analysis for various fan models with a biomimetic design based on eagle-wing geometry was conducted. In addition to the acoustic power generation, the aerodynamic performance of the cooling blade is also strongly influenced by the design of airfoil distribution, thereby requiring optimization. The cooling fans were fabricated and installed in the forklift in order to check the efficacy of the forklift engine's cooling, and the final version of the fan was measured for its ability to lower acoustic power level and cool the engine room. This study explains the aerodynamic and acoustic features of the designed fans with the use of BEM analysis and forklift test results.

선풍기는 유도 전동기에 의해 구동되는 축류형 날개를 가진 기계이다. 본 연구에서는 기본 설계된 선풍기의 날개를 바탕으로 스태킹 라인의 최적 설계를 통해 선풍기의 성능 향상을 목표로 하였다. 전산 해석을 위해 상용 툴인 Ansys 사(社)의 CFX 14.5를 이용하였고, 난류 모델은 k-${\omega}$ SST 를 사용하였다. 설계 변수는 스윕 각과 기울기 각으로 설정하였고, 유량과 토크를 목적함수로 설정하여 스태킹 라인의 최적화를 수행하였다. 최적화 결과 풍량이 증가하였고, 토크가 감소함을 확인 하였다. 최적화된 모델과 기본 모델은 KS C 9301을 이용하여 측정되었으며, 전산 해석 결과를 검증하였다.

A scaling method valid for most turbomachines based on first principles is derived. It accounts for axial and centrifugal turbomachines with respect to relative gap width/tip clearance, relative roughness, Reynolds number and/or Mach number for design and off-design operation as well. The scaling method has been successfully validated by a variety of experimental data obtained at TU Darmstadt. The physically based, hence reliable and universal method is compared with previous, empirical scaling methods.

Response surface method is employed in optimizing the acoustic performance of automotive engine-cooling axial fans. The effects of modifications in blade geometry on noise reduction are investigated. Taking the far-field noise level as the objective, a quadratic response surface is constructed utilizing D-Optimality condition as the candidate-points selection criteria. It is shown that the quadratic model exhibits an excellent fitting capability resulting in the blade design with low far-field noise level.

An experimental performance test has been carried out to improve a new blade with higher performance. Most of blades of the fan are designed to be a seamless and simple type, and the flow momentum can generally be evaluated to be comparatively low. Because some portions of the blowing winds can easily be passed through the seamless sharp edge of the blade, and several results studied on these problems have been reported: on the simple blade with edge-line seam, on the simple blade with guide seam. However the results do not show the remarkable increasement of performance of the blades. In this experimental performance test of the blades the design techniques of the blades with double seams (stem seam and edge seam) and comparison tests have been focused. As a first step the comparisons of velocity distributions and flow-rates depending upon the blade are presented in this paper.
