An electric-motor which uses electric energy to dry laundry in a dryer generates wind by rotating a fan. The roles of electric motor and fan are crucial for drying. To reduce the noises or vibration, their performances should be improved. However, it requires a relatively high cost to redesign them. In this case, redesigning the fan case rather than the motor or the fan would be easier and cheaper. This paper is to apply Taguchi dynamic characteristic concept with the ideal function of energy conversion to redesign the fan case. Not only the increase of the wind power but also the decrease of noise, vibration and the other side effects are resulted. †
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
