  • Turbo fan as an air moving device is widely used for its silent characteristics and high efficiency relative to the other centrifugal multi blade impeller. In general, turbo fan is installed with a scroll casing for energy conversion from kinetic one to pressure energy. However, a turbo fan without scroll casing is considered as a present model that is proposed model for compact design of a product In detail, the model has only 4 cutoffs as guiders for 4 separated outlets. Specially, equal distribution of flow rate generated by the model blower is main interest in this investigation. The optimal position of the guider is found by reducing abnormal flows such as reverse flow in each outlet.

  • The design procedure for centrifugal blower with high inlet resistance is not presented yet. Overall fluid dynamic performance is estimated for comparison between the case of atmospheric inlet condition and the present model. Detail information between blades is prepared by using a commercial program, SCRYU-Tetra. A centrifugal blower with large inlet pressure is adopted in an air purifier having filtering devices. As the inlet residence increases the flow rate of the system is decreased. In parallel, outlet area of the system affects the performance of the system in the sense of flow balance. Consequently, the flow balance between the inlet and outlet becomes an important parameter for the design of the scroll casing for the centrifugal blower with high inlet pressure.

  • Flow characteristics inside a blower unit of an automotive HVAC module were investigated experimentally using a high-resolution PIV technique. The PIV system consists of a 2-head Nd:YAG laser, a high-resolution CCD camera, optics and a synchronizer. The prototype siroco-fan with forward-curved blades was operated under the same condition of real car. The scroll casing was made transparently for capturing clear flow images. The time-averaged velocity fields were measured in three cross sections. Flow is accelerated with going toward the outer wall of scroll due to centrifugal force and large pressure gradient formed in the region between the fan and the outer casing wall. The presence of the cut-off region and diffusing duct of fan outlet influences largely the flow structure inside the blower unit.

  • A cross-flow fan which constitutes a fan-duct system with a stabilizer and a scroll-casing is widely used in many air-ventilating and air-conditioning devices. The cross-flow fan system has many design parameters which have crucial influence on the performance and the noise characteristics of the devices, which means many difficulties during the design stage of the devices and the general design guide has not sufficiently established yet. This study presents the experimental results of the parameter investigation of some chosen design parameter values, which are the shapes of the stabilizers, the profiles of the scroll casing part, and the diffusion angles of the flow exit. The results are expressed by the varying performance characteristics with the values of the parameters. They are found to have considerable effects on the system performance and should be considered with care in the design stage. Finally some helpful guides for the design and manufacturing of the cross-flow fan system are proposed.

  • The present work has carried out experimental study on a cross-flow fan system with a simplified vortex wall scroll casing. A cross-flow fan test rig was constructed to obtain pressure rise and volume flow rate for various fan operating conditions. The performance estimation is using a wind tunnel with a motor driven damper for flow rate control and flows are quantitatively visualized by light scattering system with a pulsed laser. Min focus on the visualization is finding a eccentric vortex inside a fan which is a major factor reducing fan efficiency. Comprehensive engineering data are prepared for industrial applications and show a good agreement with a prior work by experimental measurements.

  • The cross-flow fans have been widely used to constitute the air moving systems in many air-ventilating and air-conditioning units. The cross-flow fan system has many design parameters which have crucial influence on the performance and the noise characteristics of the units. As a result there are many difficulties in the design stage of the system and the general design guide has not been sufficiently established yet. This study presents the experimental results of the parametric investigation of some chosen design parameters which are directly related to the shape of the stabilizer the profile of the scroll casing and the diffusion angle of the flow exit. The results are expressed in terms of the fan performance and the specific sound pressure level characteristics. Some parameters have been found to have crucial effects on the system performance/noise characteristics and should be considered with care in the design stage.

  • Comprehensive investigation on the outlet's geometric shapes of a centrifugal blower with higher inlet resistance than an atmospheric pressure is carried out for improvements of its performance. Most unwanted behaviors of such blower are pulsating flows because of unbalance between inflows and outflows in a scroll casing. In order to reduce this undesirable phenomenon a triump is made for both the shape of outlet duct and an accessory structure inserted in the outlet port of the blower. The modification on the shape is concerned with the contraction of cross sectional area and the attached structure is for an intentional obstruction to cause a flow resistance. The details of the modification are examined for different cases and results. The methodologies for the work are performance evaluations including noise level and velocity measurements with PIV Consequently, the performance of improved system is close to that of the system operating with atmospheric pressure at the inlet.

  • Comprehensive study on a centrifugal blower for air-purifier involving a few physical filters for percolation process has been accomplished for an optimal design of the air handling system. The filtering media causes a flow resistance for induced flows by a rotating impeller. The present methodology is to adopt PIV system for velocity measurements and wind tunnel connected with an anechoic chamber for total performance test of the blower. Trial prototypes for the blades of a rotor and casing are presented for satisfaction of both flow rate and noise level set by design objectives. Tapered blades with a special casing for a fan show good performance data. The results of velocity fields also explain the reason of improvements of the blower performance.
