Abstract:Abstract. Centrifugal fan is most widely used as an important component in ventilation system. The performance of centrifugal fan is sensitive to the inlet environment; therefore inlet flow distortion is one of the most attention problems. Numerical investigation has been carried out for the comparison of two kinds of inlet, one is standard straight duct and the other is a 90°curved duct. The results show that the distortion of inlet will seriously affect the impeller. Based on the theory of internal flow, a r… Show more
