Résumé

Low-speed axial flow fans are widely used especially in air conditioning and ventilation systems. The performance of axial flow fans is negatively affected by the blockage and loss resulted from the tip leakage vortex (TLV) and the reverse flow. This paper investigates the development of TLV in a partially shrouded fan used in the outdoor unit of an air-conditioning system. It was found that the TLV follows the blade tip chord, due to the radial inflow in the initial unshrouded part of the blade, unlike the fully covered fan. Thus, the TLV trajectory can be manipulated by modifying the blade tip chord shape. It was also found that the reverse flow from the outlet near the shroud is driven by the negative component of TLV. The blade tip chord was modified to be in the axial direction before reaching the shrouded part to reduce the blockage and negative component of TLV. Comparing the results for the modified blade shows that the reverse flow and TLV blockage are effectively reduced by adjusting the TLV trajectory to be along the fan's rotational axis. The maximum flow rate increased up to 12% accompanied by a noticeable reduction in the loss by the tip modification.
