Abstract

Flow fields near the exit and the global performance parameters of the various types of axial flow fans are studied with Particle Image Velocimetry and a standard AMCA 210 flow bench. The fans used in this study included the shrouded, shroudless, and winglet-blade types. The velocity vectors, streamlines, vorticity contours, velocity distributions, and performances are presented and discussed. The flow patterns on the radial and axial planes show that a vortex always exists near the exit of the fans at various impeller angles. The experimental results demonstrate that the shrouded fan with winglets has the most stable flow field and the best fan performance.
