Comparison Studies between EC Fans with Spiral Shaped Guide Vane and Normal Guide Vane
(REF: S-1678) |
| Matched I&T Wish |
|
| Trial Project |
|
| Solution Feature |
- Accurate lab tests of the EC fan with spiral guide vane and a normal EC fan are performed.
- The lab test rig will be designed according to ASHRAE Standard.
- Detailed CFS simulation studies are completed based on the lab test results so that the energy and other performance indicators of the two different fans are obtained.
|
| Trial Application and Expected Outcome |
- Lab tests of at least two EC fans, one with spiral guide vane and one with normal guide vane, should be carried out first at various speeds.
- Based on the lab test results, CFD simulation software should be used to find the performance of the two different fans when they are installed in an air-conditioning system, say an air supply system.
- The performance of the EC fan with spiral guided vane and the comparison with a normal EC fan can thus found from the lab tests and simulations in terms of energy efficiency, power consumption, pressure head, flowrate, noise level, and so on.
