Popis: |
Typically installed in a rotor-only configuration, low-pressure axial fans discharge directly into a free atmosphere and the discharge shows a strong swirl component. Since such designs, without guide vanes, cannot convert the dynamic pressure in the swirl component back into static pressure, the dynamic pressure is usually considered a loss. However, the radial equilibrium shows that a significant part of the kinetic energy contained in this swirl component is recovered as static pressure in the free atmosphere. This additional pressure increase has been sparsely researched. A comparison between two configurations with and without outlet guide vanes allows for the formulation of an evaluation criterion of the rotor-only configuration. Utilizing this evaluation criterion, the investigation of velocity profiles corresponding to generic rotor designs shows promise in terms of pressure recovery for new designs. |
