Investigation of Speed Matching Affecting Contrarotating Fan’s Performance Using Wireless Sensor Network including Big Data and Numerical Simulation by Hengxuan Luan, Liyuan Weng, Ranhui Liu, Yuanzhong Luan, Dongmin Li

“…Under large flow rate condition, the power capability of rotor 2 became very weak; under working small flow rate condition, overloading would take place to class II motor. In order to solve the performance mismatch between two stages of CRF under nondesigned working conditions, under small flow rate condition, the priority shall be given to increase of the speed of rotor 1, while the speed of rotor 2 shall be reduced appropriately; under large flow rate condition, the speed of rotor 1 shall be reduced and the speed of rotor 2 shall be increased at the same time.…”
