Simulation of the Influence of Wing Angle Blades on the Performance of Counter-Rotating Axial Fan

Abstract

We took the mining counter-rotating fan FBD No.8.0 as the research object, used orthogonal test and numerical simulation to study the influence of wing angle blade on fan performance, and simulated and analyzed its aerodynamic noise. The results show that the pressure distribution of the optimal blade angle blade fan on the pressure surface of the secondary blade is stronger than that of the prototype blade, and the maximum pressure at the blade height of 25%, 50%, and 75% is increased by 2.3%, 9.3%, and 8.1%, respectively, than original blade. Compared with the prototype blade; wing angle blades can effectively reduce the generation of shedding vortices at the trailing edge of the blade, and reduce the strength of shedding vortices, so that the entropy production of the optimal wing angle blade fan is 1.55% lower than that of the prototype fan. Compared with the prototype fan, the full pressure and efficiency of the angle blade fan under the rated flow have increased by 7.24% and 1.76%, and the average increase of 11.32% and 3.88%, respectively, under the full flow condition. Compared with the prototype fan, the maximum sound power of the wing blade fan in the first and second blade trailing edge regions is reduced by 0.17% and 1.62%, respectively.
