Experiments with a Radial Fan
Specification
Functioning and operating behaviour of a radial fan
Radial fan with 3-phase AC motor
Variable speed via frequency converter
Transparent intake and delivery pipes
Throttle valve to adjust the air flow in the delivery pipe
Interchanging rotors: 1 rotor with forward curved blades and 1 rotor with backward curved blades
Determination of flow rate
Display of differential pressure, flow rate, speed, electrical power consumption and hydraulical power output, temperature and efficiency
Due to integrated microprocessor-based instrumentation no additional devices with error-prone wiring are required
