Data centers have been built with spread of cloud computing. Further, electric power consumption of it is growing rapidly. High power cooling small-sized fans; high pressure and large flow rate small-sized fan, are used for servers in the data centers and there is a strong demand to increase power of it because of increase of quantity of heat from the servers. Contra-rotating rotors have been adopted for some of high power cooling fans to meet the demand for high power. There is a limitation of space for servers and geometrical restriction for cooling fans because spokes to support fan motors, electrical power cables and so on should be installed in the cooling fans. It is important to clarify complicated internal flow condition and influence of a geometric shape of the cooling fans on performance to achieve high performance of the cooling fans. In the present paper, the performance and the flow condition of the high power contra-rotating small-sized axial fan with a 40mm square casing are shown by experimental and numerical results. Furthermore, influence of the geometrical shape of the small-sized cooling fan on the internal flow condition is clarified and design guideline to improve the performance is discussed.

Flow and noise analyses are conducted for examining a new design concept of impinging jet electronics cooling, and the analysis results are compared with conventional electronics cooling techniques. For the application of impinging jet electronics cooling method, the present study considers the air duct where air is supplied by axial fan and air flow from the duct is impinged vertically onto the electronic component heat source. Applying CFD simulation technique and fan noise model to the present cooling scheme, the cooling performance of the impinging jet as well as the operation condition and the noise characteristics of fan are investigated for various impinging jet nozzle conditions and fan models. Furthermore, the impinging jet electronics cooling analysis results are compared with the conventional parallel-flow cooling scheme to give the design concept and criteria of impinging jet cooling method.

This study were performed to find the cooling effect and to provide design data during summer season for the Pad& Fan system of greenhouse . The temperature variation along the greenhouse width were analyzed. Also, the effect of the pad location and fan capacity on the cooling of the greenhouse were analyzed. While Pad &Fan systems were operating the temperatures in greenhouse were very different along the meausring locations. It is recommeded that PAD location and FAN capacity should be considered to design the Fan and Pad system in order to provide greenhouse the optimum temperature condition.

산업 현장에서 많이 사용하는 중공형 제품에 대한 성형은 가열과 냉각에 의해 회전 성형하게 된다. 제품에 대한 품질 향상을 위해 균일한 냉각이 필요하고, 생산성 향상을 위해 빠른 시간의 냉각이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 팬에 의한 강제 냉각이 없는 경우와 팬에 의한 강제 냉각이 있는 경우로 크게 냉각 조건을 구분하였다. 또한, 팬에 의한 강제 냉각이 없는 경우에 대하여 성형기가 수평으로 정지해 있는 조건과 수직으로 정지한 조건으로 구분하였다. 그리고 팬에 의한 강제 냉각을 확인하기 위해 팬이 가동되지 않은 상태에서 성형기만 회전하는 조건과 하부의 팬만 작동하는 경우, 상단과 하단의 팬이 작동하는 조건으로 설정하였다. 이와 같이 성형기의 냉각의 결과를 여러 조건의 공기 냉각 조건에 대해 회전성형기의 표면 온도를 STAR-CCM+ 프로그램으로 해석한다. 총 5개의 조건에 대해 회전성형기의 온도 분포를 해석하였으며, 각 조건에서 냉각에 대한 성형기의 표면 온도 분포를 비교하였다. 5개의 Case 중 Case4가 900sec 후 약 35℃로 가장 낮았다.

In this study, we analyzed the three dimensional unsteady flow field around the motor cooling fan using the unsteady lifting surface theory. We obtained the flow rate for various geometries of fan from the calculated results of velocity field. For the data of design parameter and rotating speed(rpm) of the fan, we can predict the flow rate of the motor cooling fan with thin thickness through numerical analysis without the experimental data of the free stream velocity which is a boundary condition of flow field. the numerical results showed the flow rate within 10% of error in comparison with experimental results. The radial fans, which are often used as internal motor fan were also investigated with the same procedure.

Axial fans are widely used for automotive engine cooling device due to their ability to produce high flow rate to keep engine cool. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of the most serious problems. Especially, engine cooling fan noise in idle condition of a car is noticeable. Therefore, the high efficient and low-noise fan is seriously needed. When a new fan system is designed, system resistance and non-uniform inflow are the key factors to get the high performance and low noise fan system. In this study, experimental study on the fan and system was carried out and brought a successful result of performance and noise from a designed fan. And through the modification of the fan system, the fan produced more flow rate and became less noisy.

This research is to verify the cooling effect of the acting surface on the rotary motor using heat pipe and conventional cooling fan. In order to show the cooling performance of the rotary motor and heat pipe with the fin-typed heat sink, the surface temperature of the motor and condenser was measured in real time. The experiments were also conducted as for not only cooling device installed with heat pipe only, but with heat pipe and conventional cooling fan simultaneously. The present experiment reveals that the cooling combination of the heat pipe and cooling fan is far superior to the conventional cooling device for the driving motor such as the fin-typed heat sink. When the driving voltage of 20V and 14V were supplied to the driving motor, the cooling performance of the rotary motor with heat pipe was 170% and 500%, respectively better than that without heat pipe on steady state condition.

원활한 전력공급을 위해 지중송전케이블에서 발생된 열을 제거하기 위한 방법으로 전력구트라프간접수냉방식이 적용된 지중송전계통에 대한 각 주요 구성요소의 열해석을 수행하였다. 열해석을 수행한 결과, 주어진 조건에서 냉동기가 채택된 냉동장치에서는 냉각수유량은 $2{\sim}3{\ell}/s/pipe$, 팬에 의한 풍속은 $1{\sim}2m/s/fan$인 경우에 지중송전계통의 원활한 전력공급을 위한 냉각계통의 최적조건으로 계산되었다. 반면에 냉각탑만을 설치한 경우에는 냉각수유량 및 풍속이 각각 $2{\sim}3s/pipe$ 및 6 m/s/fan이 최적조건으로 계산되었다. 그러나 냉각탑만이 설치된 경우에는 풍속이 너무 커져서 용량이 큰 팬의 설치 및 전력구내에서 작업자의 작업조건에 적합하지 않다. 따라서 본 연구의 주어진 조건하에서 지중송전계통의 냉동계통은 냉동기가 설치된 냉동장치가 바람직하다.

The present experimental study deals with noise reduction and improvements in cooling performance in a plasma display panel (PDP) television (TV). The main ideas of the fan system noise reduction are maintenance of uniform inflow condition and reduction of the system loss, ${\Delta}P.$ The discrete noise is mainly related with the inflow condition therefore removing the structure which distorts inflow makes the discrete noise reduction. The broadband noise in PDP TV is related with the system losses which result from the presence of the fan downstream obstacle, PDP rear case. Through the modification of the distance and preventing the leakage flow between the fan and rear case, we can obtain the system loss and broadband noise reduction. Additionally we can reduce fan rotating speed because of increased flow rate which obtains from the reduction of system loss (resistance). Finally, 4.2 dB(A) noise reduction and $10\%$ increase in flow rate are achieved. From these results, we show that the reduction of system loss is the most effective way of the fan system noise reduction.
