Design of a Centrifugal Blower for a 400kg Rotary Furnace.
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Poor performance of a rotary furnace cannot be unconnected to failure in the design of the blower among others, This paper discuss the design of a centrifugal blower for a rotary furnace which will give the required manometric efficiency that will aid adequate combustion as required. The blower was designed to convert ‘driver’ energy to kinetic energy in the fluid by accelerating it to the outer rim of the revolving device known as the impeller. The impeller, driven by the blower shaft adds the velocity component to the fluid by centrifugally casting the fluid away from the impeller vane tips. The amount of energy given to the fluid corresponds to the velocity at the edge or vane tip of the impeller. Significance: Centrifugal blowers are applicable in furnaces such as Rotary and cupola furnace, the efficiency of these furnaces depend on the blast rate and air delivery from a well design blower. This paper will guide to achieve this aims.
