Abstract
This paper presents the mean streamline analysis using the empirical loss correlations for performance prediction of cross‐flow fans. Comparison of overall performance predictions with test data of a cross‐flow fan system with a simplified vortex wall scroll casing and with the published experimental characteristics for a cross‐flow fan has been carried out to demonstrate the accuracy of the proposed method. Predicted performance curves by the present mean streamline analysis agree well with experimental data for two different cross‐flow fans over the normal operating conditions. The prediction method presented herein can be used efficiently as a tool for the preliminary design and performance analysis of general‐purpose cross‐flow fans.
