“…As a result, the accuracy of the numerical model was verified. Kim et al [6] presented a numerical analysis model for the splitter-type centrifugal fan and confirmed that the splitter blade improved the fan's overall performance. Chunxi et al [7] conducted a study on the performance of centrifugal fans with 5% and 10% increases in the impeller size by extending the tip of the blade without changing the size of the volute.…”

We successfully designed an optimized plenum fan with a three-dimensional, smooth, curved blade. The optimized model revealed that the static pressure in the channel had been increased uniformly and stably, and the flow separation at the leading edge was significantly reduced. To conclude, the three-dimensional blade stabilized the fluid flow, and the flow friction was reduced by suppressing the flow separation as much as possible so that both the static pressure and the static efficiency were clearly improved in comparison with those of the original model. The static efficiency, as a result, was improved by 6% compared with that of the original model.

“…These contributions are made on the influence of different structural factors on the impeller performance. Kim et al 16 investigated the effect of blade numbers and splitter blades. Simulations and experiments illustrated a great regression of fluid performance caused by different clearance between casing and blades.…”

This work targets the development of the multidisciplinary design for centrifugal fans, based on the calculation of the fan performance following changes in the fan structure and manufacture. A parametric method that starts from the blade number and manufacturing parameters is first developed to control the shape of fan assembly and its fluid domain. The parametric code, and the aerodynamic and structure analysing codes are then integrated, from the solution of which algorithms are developed to calculate the fan indexes including the flow rate, pressure rise, fan efficiency, fan strength, and the motor power. Validation of the proposed method is performed by the comparison with an experimental test. An orthogonal sampling opens out relevant changes of the fan working performance with respect to the blade number and manufacturing parameters. Results suggest ranges for the blade number and manufacturing parameters that have a sound performance and structure safety when converting the motor power to airflow.

“…Hariharan et al [11] found that an appropriate ratio between the impeller exit width and volute width generates a more uniform flow distribution which reduces the structural load on the impeller. Kim et al [12] presented a numerical investigation on the aerodynamic performance according to the application of splitter blades in an impeller of a centrifugal fan used for a refuse collection system. The results show that splitter blades in a centrifugal fan lead to a significant improvement in the overall fan performance.…”

In this paper, the rotor and the volute of the squirrel-cage fan with dual inlet were optimized to improve its aerodynamic performance. The blade inlet angle, blade exit angle and diameter ratio of the impeller were chosen as optimization variables using the response surface methodology (RSM) to improve the total pressure. Furthermore, another three optimization variables were adopted on the basis of previous optimum results, which are the width of impeller, the location of the impeller annular plate and the location of cutoff respectively. The simulation and experimental results show that the total pressure of the optimal model has been greatly improved without noise increase in comparison with the original model.
