| Summary: | This paper presents the mean streamline analysis using
the empirical loss correlations for performance prediction of
cross-flow fans. Comparison of overall performance predictions
with test data of a cross-flow fan system with a simplified vortex
wall scroll casing and with the published experimental
characteristics for a cross-flow fan has been carried out to
demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method. Predicted
performance curves by the present mean streamline analysis agree
well with experimental data for two different cross-flow fans over
the normal operating conditions. The prediction method presented
herein can be used efficiently as a tool for the preliminary
design and performance analysis of general-purpose cross-flow
fans. |
