Description

Axial fans are used to transport gases. The medium to be transported is drawn in axially to the drive shaft of the axial fan by the rotation of the rotor. The medium flows through the rotor and is discharged axially behind the rotor.
The experimental unit provides the basic experiments to get to know the operating behaviour and the important characteristic variables of axial fans.
It features an axial fan with variable speed via an integrated controller, an intake pipe and a delivery pipe. The transparent intake and delivery pipes are fitted with guide plates for flow guidance. A flow straightener in the intake pipe serves to calm the air. This enables precise measurements even with heavily reduced operation. The air flow is adjusted by a throttle valve at the end of the delivery pipe.

Learning Objectives/Experiments
Operating behaviour and characteristic variables of an axial fan
Recording the fan characteristic (differential pressure as a function of the flow rate)
Effect of the rotor speed on the pressure
Effect of the rotor speed on the flow rate Stall
Determination of hydraulical power output and efficiencies

Features
Illustrative model of an axial fan
Transparent delivery pipe and intake pipe
Software for data acquisition, visualisation and operation
Part of the Labline fluid energy machines

Specification
Functioning and operating behaviour of an axial fan
Axial fan with electronically commutated drive motor
Variable speed via integrated controller
