Abstract:

 


Centrifugal fans are used in most of the manufacturing processes for ventilating and/or air conditioning the manufacturing areas. Because of relatively limited documentation on design of these fans, new designs are developed by experimental method. This method does not only take a lot of time but also increases the costs considerably. Nowadays, most of the companies create 3D models and then conduct analyses by the CFD (computational fluid dynamics) programs and perform some optimizations before manufacturing their new designs. In this study, the main principles of centrifugal fans and their characteristics were treated. Further, a fan was developed and a prototype of it was manufactured. Then the steps of its numerical and experimental performance tests and the comparison of these results were accomplished.
