Development of a Solar Powered Standing Dc Fan Using Three Phase
Journal Title: American journal of Engineering Research - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 12
Abstract
A solar powered standing dc fan is a small, portable type of fan that is used in various rooms of home or office. It is more convenient compared to other types, like kitchen exhaust, window, and pedestal fans because of its portability. It serves a number of functions for home owners and office workers such as conservation of energy, removal of heat and unwanted fumes from indoor areas, cooling a room and generation of Mechanical noise that helps to distract a person's attention from undesirable background noise so one could focus on his task. The idea of a solar fan has been proven to be very good especially for a country like Nigeria that enjoys an average of 8 hours of sunlight daily. In this research a 3-blade standing fan of 30 watts capacity capable of providing 6 hours of continuous operation was powered with just 1 photo-voltaic (PV) module of 80 watts power rating. Also a minimum of 85% efficiency was achieved and the fan runs at a low torque of 0.95 Nm. The fan blade rotates at a tip speed of 500 rpm and rotates on a 100 mm diameter shaft. In order to maintain constant operation during the night and when the sun is not at its peak, a 75Ah, 12V battery has been considered suitable for the power storage assessor.
