Dg. Zhou et al., OPTIMIZATION DESIGN OF AN AXIAL-FLOW FAN USED FOR MINING LOCAL-VENTILATION, Computers & industrial engineering, 31(3-4), 1996, pp. 691-696
A nea calculation model for optimizing the operating performance of a
fan is carried out on the analysis of the energy transmission of airfl
ow inside the fan. The corresponding designing method appropriate for
the engineering applications is also proposed. A new type of the axial
-flow fan, named YBT-4.01, used for local-ventilation in coal mining h
as been designed with the aid of computer. It is shown from both the l
ab test and field use that the performance of the fan designed is impr
oved considerably compared with the old one.
