Paper on Air Fan Design & Selection (Analogous to Water Pump Selection)
Keywords:
Mechanical EngineeringAbstract
Arising from an extract on fan as below, this paper will go in depth to the design and selection of fan. Knowledge & principle are applicable to pump design & selection.
Different fan for different applications, propeller, centrifugal, inline ducted, or external. Ventilation air duct should use external belt linked centrifugal fan (fan motor outside air duct), not allow AC air to pass over fan motor, which is hot, may catch fire, smoke flow via air duct to everywhere.
Jet fan is suitable for carpark, fan sucked air from fan before and blow forward, continue to blow air to whole carpark. See below photo of jet fan. Compliments to Savwo Airflow to guide me to get these Jet Fan photos to let readers easily appreciate jet fans. Thank Google good search engine.
