Cross Flow Fan

Cross flow fans are used for fan systems in a household room air conditioner indoor unit. In recently, in the view of environmental problem and cost saving, energy saving performance is important specification for users. Reducing fan motor electric power consumption is effective for this purpose. And also low noise fans are needed for comfortable circumferences. To meet these user needs, we developed a high efficiency and silent cross flow fan using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and experiments. In CFD, numerical model is calculated by commercial software using steady state, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and k-ε turbulent flow model. The developed cross flow fan is geometrically characterized by the solidity (the ratio of the blade pitch and blade cord length) distribution, and the blade edge shape. The solidity average of developed fan was larger than the conventional fan and the solidity distribution was smooth. And the developed fan has the sinusoidal shape of the outer diameter edge. This sinusoidal shape edge makes pressure distribution on the tongue to be more dispersed compare to that of conventional straight edge so that tonal noise was restrained.

Cross Flow Fan

The aerodynamic noise of a cross flow fan with uneven blade spacing in room air-conditioner was simulated by computational aerodynamic acoustics (CAA) method. It is detailed to analyze the vorticity distribution of the flow field and the power spectral density of measured points’ pressure fluctuations, and the results demonstrate the non-uniform impeller used in this paper can significantly improve internal flow characteristics. Thus the broadband noise got reduced.

Cross Flow Fan

Aiming at a cross-flow fan used in some kind of air conditioner, the full field 3D model was built, and the numerical simulation of the inner turbulent flow under design condition is resented. The results display the characteristics of flow field in the cross-flow fan, especially the velocity field, pressure field and the velocity distributing before the evaporator. The results can provide basis for optimizing the fan design and the internal flow, and have important value of engineering applications in the increase of the overall performance in operation.
