The aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance of discharge grille of outdoor unit of air-conditioner was investigated in this study. Discharge grille is one of outdoor unit's important parts to affect the flow rate and Overall Sound Pressure Level(OSPL). New type of discharge grille was suggested based on the results of numerical simulation. To simulate the flow pattern near the propeller fan, commercial flow solver FLUENT was used. Sliding mesh method was used for rotating propeller fan and initial condition for unsteady model was calculated by Multiple Reference Frame(MRF) method. To minimize the interaction noise between fan blade wake and discharge grille, new discharge grille has radial rib which is aligned with trailing edge of fan blade. And inclined radial rib was adopted for reducing flow rate drop in discharge grille. The optimization of inclined angle of radial grille was performed experimentally.

Spread of household air conditioning system is continued to be increased. Axial fan in the external unit of air conditioning system is for ventilation and air supplying unit, and the related products have been widely adopted as household electronics, automobile engine, big sized blower in factory, tunnel, and subway. In this study, commercial 3-winged propeller fan is modified to shape and modified to 2-winged fan for the airflow increase and cost reduction. Using 3D modelling, the fan shape is modified, and analysis flow is adopted to provide the way to airflow increase and reduce cost while maintaining the same wind capacity.

Propeller fans are commonly equipped in outdoor units of air-conditioners to provide effective cooling in a dried heat exchanger. A new design technique was developed to satisfy requirements of aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance, which employs the intersection method of two cylinders for mean camber line. Three proto-types of propeller fan including Palm-Shaped, Highly-Swept(PSHS) fan (proto 3)were not only to provide low lift forces for dipole sound, but also to reduce the organized tip vortices interacting with the fan guide causing narrow-banded rotating instabilities. Cross-correlation technique was applied to study flow noise source characteristics for three proto-type fans designed. The cross-correlations between a microphone at far field and a hot-wire sensor at near field show that flows near hub region of proto 3 fan are less organized and the flow structures especially at high flow rate coefficients for proto 3 fan are less correlated with noise generated than other proto-types fans.

The electro-magnetic noise generated from fan-driving motor is one of important items in view of abnormal noise which affect the quality of air conditioner noise. The electro-magnetic noise of the outdoor unit is identified by the serial experiments for related parts, whose effects are verified to give proper measures for reduced noise level. The weight of fan appears to be the most important factor, and the stiffness of the frame, such as motor bracket is shown to be important also.

Computational investigation was conducted to study the effects of the shape parameter of shroud on the performance of the outdoor unit of an air-conditioners. For this study the Design of Experiment(4-factor 3-level) was created and the an automatic program was composed using VBA to reduce the load of pre-process for CFD. The estimated mathematical equation was produced from this analysis and it was found that the gap between fan and shroud affects more heavily than the other parameters. As a result, the composition of the best parameters was verified that its flow rate was increased by 10 percents and sound pressure level was reduced by 1.2 dBA compare with the worst. And finally, a kind of Propeller fan with blades which were attached to the shroud, so-called 'ProBeller Fan' was introduced in this study.

외부 유동소음 문제를 다루는 대부분의 산업현장에서 FW-H(Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings) 방정식을 이용한 복합전산공력음향 기법이 수치적인 효율성으로 인하여 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나 사중극자항을 무시한 면적분 형태의 FW-H 방정식을 사용할 때 경우에 따라 무시할 수 없는 비물리적인 소음이 발생한다고 알려져 있다. 특히, 수중 프로펠러와 같이 날개 끝 와류 공동(tip vortex cavitation)이 하류방향으로 길게 형성되는 유동에 대해서는 적절하게 모델링하지 않으면 소음 예측의 정확도가 떨어지게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사중극자 보정항을 추가하여 적분면에서 FW-H 방정식으로부터 발생하는 비물리적인 음향을 저감시키고자 하였다. 먼저 FW-H 방정식에 기초하여 개발한 내부 예측코드의 정확성을 확인하기 위하여 에어컨 실외기에 사용되는 축류팬을 대상으로 검증을 수행하였으며, ANSYS Fluent의 결과와 비교하여 잘 일치하는 것을 확인하였다. 사중극자 보정항의 효과를 확인하기 위하여 등엔트로피 와류 전파에 대한 소음 해석을 수행하였으며, 사중극자 보정항에 의한 오차의 저감 효과가 발생하는 것을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 Clark-Y 수중익형에서 발생하는 공동 유동장을 대상으로 소음 해석을 수행하였으며, 공동이적분면을 통과할 때 발생하는 오차를 사중극자 보정항을 이용하여 저감할 수 있다는 것을 확인하였다.
