Popis: For a backward curved centrifugal fan, reducing volume flow rate from design operating point towards part load yields an increase in noise emission together with a reduction of efficiency. The spectral content of the emerging noise emission can be characterized by a subharmonic hump with several harmonics. Based on narrow-band acoustic measurements and numerical Lattice-Boltzmann simulations, a deeper insight is sought after. Downstream unsteady flow patterns are identified to play a central role in this performance deterioration; and geometrical flow stabilization means are investigated.
