Abstract:Detailed tests were conducted on standard shape axial flow fans as well as blades with tip treatment. The object of the tests was to determine the optimum tip configuration. To evaluate the effect of changes in trip clearance, the tests were performed with a blade to shroud clearance of 0.5 and 0.75 in. All other system and environmental factors were held constant. The test facility was designed to standards based on a recently developed induct sound power measuring system which includes a measuring section fo… Show more
