Abstract
A Small-size axial fan(SSAF) has widely been utilized to circulate a cooling air in a refrigerator, etc. Generally, the aerodynamic performance of SSAF is strongly dependent upon the depth between SSAF and bellmouth, and it includes axial, partially stalled, mostly stalled and radial flow regions according to the flow coefficient. In this study, four kinds of bellmouth depths were considered to analyze the aerodynamic performance of SSAF. As a bellmouth depth increases, a maximum flowrate decreases, but a maximum static pressure increases. Also, stall region includes an inflection point in all aerodynamic performance curves. Finally, a static pressure efficiency shows the maximum value of 37%.
