Experiments with a radial fan

Radial fans are used to transport gases with non-excessive pressure differences. The medium is drawn in axially to the drive shaft of the radial fan and is deflected by 90° by the rotation of the rotor and discharged radially.

• 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
• interchangeable rotors: 1 rotor with forward curved blades and 1 rotor with backward curved blades
• determination of flow rate via intake nozzle
• display of differential pressure, flow rate, speed, electrical power consumption and hydraulical power output, temperature and efficiency
• software: option to connect any number of external workstations on the local network to follow and analyse the experiment
• software with control functions and data acquisition via USB under Windows 11
