dc.description.abstract | Heavy-duty centrifugal fans account for a significant share of energy consumption in the process and manufacturing industries. As a result, these machines are under increasing pressure to operate at maximum efficiency to reduce costs, pollutants and noise: only combined optimization is considered competitive for future generations of fans. Preliminary studies have shown that applying structured porosity to aerofoil rear parts can lead to a reduction in self noise and trailing edge shedding noise in the mid-to-high frequency range. With this in mind, a porous surface cover is applied to a prototype centrifugal fan to evaluate the aeroacoustic potential in a complex rotating machinery. The optimal geometric characteristics of the perforation are derived from experiments with single aerofoils, while the perimeter of the covered area is varied in eight steps. The centrifugal fan specimen is rapid-prototyped and tested at different fan speeds along the complete characteristic curves, while both aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performances are simultaneously recorded. The results obtained show a significant reduction in overall noise level while aerodynamic performance is maintained. Spectral analysis shows that the noise reduction is due to a broadband effect, where the upper and lower cut-off frequencies are determined by the rotational speed and the location of the applied porosity along the blade chord. However, the maximum noise reduction is obtained as a clear function of the minimum distance between the perforation and the trailing edge of the blade, indicating that the underlying working mechanisms are a combination of broadband dissipation effects due to porosity and destructive interference. | en_US |
