A Review on Design and CFD Analysis of Casted Centrifugal Fan for Heavy Duty Industrial Applications

Abstract

This paper reviews the key plan parts of centrifugal fan and casing for suction based cyclone dust collector for
industries, i.e. the determination of a suitable blade geometry profile for the fan blade in order to enhance the energy
efficiency of centrifugal fan, utilizing CFD simulation technique. The issue of centrifugal fan choice and configuration
usually introduce itself in the accompanying way: a specific air volume and static pressure are required for a certain
system. Once the need of fan and casing plan on a theoretical basis has been recognized, it is possible to determinate the
measurements for a fan and casing so that it could be fabricated by suitable jigs and fixtures installation and perform as
per a specific arrangement details. Design of volute casing, fan and hub is iterative process for better security.
Fundamental angle is blade geometry for proper air flow at inlet 6-12 blade generally taken on the grounds that more
blades will limit the flow of air. CFD examination determined the air flow from hose inlet to casing outlet, and reviewed
the pressure losses predicted by simulation.
