Fan Fundamentals - Fan Development and Testing

The purpose of this presentation is to educate industry professionals on fan development and testing fundamentals so they can develop a basic understanding of the process for fan analysis, testing, and verification. At the end of this presentation, you will understand:

• CFD analysis and their assumptions
• Physical testing and verification
• Choosing between CFD analysis and physical testing
• FEA Analysis and their assumptions

Presented by Doug Jones, ETO Products & Applications

Fan Fundamentals - Noise

• Describe the calculation procedure for overall sound and frequency weighting
• Scale sound data to alternate operating conditions
• Adjust sound data to account for fan configuration in the field
• Use blade pass frequency and its first harmonic as design criteria in fan selection
• Identify sound attenuation options to mitigate noise concerns

Fan Fundamentals - Aerodynamics
• Describe how the fan affinity laws work, and why changes in size and speed independently impact fan/system interaction.
• Apply dimensionless parameters to aid in determining a fan type’s suitability for a given application.
• Evaluate whether a custom (heavy industrial) fan is required or a catalog (general industrial) offering is sufficient for a given application.

Compact mill provides versatility and flexibility

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., MARCH 14, 2023 - Astec Industries is debuting its newest asphalt cold planer today at CONEXPO-CON/AGG in Las Vegas, Nevada. The versatile RX-405 milling machine is ideal for contractors who need a smaller cold planer that offers versatility and flexibility in a variety of applications. With the addition of the RX405, Astec’s mills now range from 2 feet to 13 feet in cut width.

In this video, New York Blower’s lead aerodynamic expert and P.E., Matt Raymond discusses a commonly asked question, what happens when a backward-inclined centrifugal fan is run backwards?

• Using a clockwise, size 33, airfoil fan mounted on an AMCA accredited test chamber, we are able to evaluate how wheel rotation impacts static pressure, air flow, and break horse power.
