Axial fans are widely used in heavy machines due to their ability to produce high flow rate fur cooling of engines. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of the most serious problems. This work is concerned with the low noise technique of discrete frequency noise. To calculate the unsteady resultant force over the fan blade in an unsymmetric engine room, Time-Marching Free-Wake Method is used. From the calculations of unsteady force on fan blades, noise signal of an engine cooling fan is calculated by using an acoustic similarity law. (omitted)

Recently, PMSMs(Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors) have become increasingly popular in various high-performance motor drive applications. However, the high-performance drive of PMSMs needs a position sensor such as a resolver, which increases not only the price of the system but also reduces the system reliability. This paper is on the implementation of sensorless control of a SPMSM, which drives a fan for cooling in appliances. In this paper, the rotor position for high-performance drive of a SPMSM is derived from back electromotive force (EMF) information proportional to the rotor speed. Also, the initial rotor position information for start-up is estimated from a saturation phenomenon of inductance. The validity of the proposed sensorless drives was confirmed by the experiment on the SPMSM drive systems for cooling fans of refrigerators and laptop computers.

Axial fans are widely used for automotive engine cooling device due to their ability to produce high flow rate to keep engine cool. At the same time, the noise generated by these fans causes one of the most serious problems. Especially, engine cooling fan noise in idle condition of a car is noticeable. Therefore, the high efficient and low-noise fan is seriously needed. When a new fan system is designed, system resistance and non-uniform inflow are the key factors to get the high performance and low noise fan system. In this study, experimental study on the fan and system was carried out and brought a successful result of performance and noise from a designed fan. And through the modification of the fan system, the fan produced more flow rate and became less noisy.

Small-sized fans for cooling electronic components are usually produced by injection molding in unified form including blade and hub. However, in case of middle and large-sized fans, they deal ill various products with varied numbers of blade or stagger angles after designing a single blade by molding or aluminum die casting. At this occasion, it is necessary to study design method for high-performance axial fans can be operated with various numbers of blades or stagger angle using unique blade for specified conditions. Therefore, the goal in this study is developing a optimal design method which improves performance of axial fans within the large range of operating by single blade.

Fans are widely used in household electrical appliances due to their easy usage and high performance for cooling capacity. However, the noise generated by these fans causes one of serious problems. LG electronics makes the intranet software for design and analysis of fan. Axial, sirocco and centrifugal fan can be designed and analyzed by using the IFD(Intranet Based Fans Design) software. In order to calculate the aeroacoustic noise of a fan, the numerical method, which can calculate the acoustic pressure at the blade passing frequency and its higher harmonic frequencies, has been developed. To calculate the unsteady resultant force of the blade, vortex method is used. This paper shows the overview of the software and validates the accuracy of predicted noise of fan.

최근 생활수준의 향상과 세계적인 녹색성장 정책으로 환경에 대한 관심이 고조되어, 전력분야에서도 환경친화적인 설비가 요구되어 지고 있다. 이에 따라 전력용 변압기 냉각팬도 날개형상과 배치형태를 개선한 저소음 냉각팬이 개발되었으며, 일반 전력용 변압기 및 저소음 변압기에 적용될 예정이다. 냉각팬은 낮은 소음레벨 뿐만 아니라 우수한 냉각성능의 확보가 필수적이다. 그러나 현재까지 저소음 냉각팬의 소음레벨과 냉각성능에 대한 검토가 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 소음레벨 측정과 풍량 측정 실험을 통해 저소음 냉각팬의 성능을 분석하였다. 또한 저소음 냉각팬을 적용한 전력용 변압기의 온도상승 시험을 통하여 냉각성능을 검증하였다.

Fuel cell systems are consisted of various parts, for example fuel cell stack, fuel supplier, electrical converters, controllers and so on. Each components of system should have appropriate specification for their applications as well as simplicity. Because thermal load can be managed simply by using fans without any water cooling system, the air-cooled PEMFC is widely used in sub kW and around 1kW systems. The performance of an air-cooled system is highly dependent on ambient temperature and humidity. In this paper, the air-cooled PEMFC systems are developed and investigated to study the operating characteristics in the aspect of the thermal and water coupled management by the control of the axial fans and compressors. Various experiments were also conducted to get the cell voltage distribution, the relative humidity of the reactant gas and the thermal management by axial cooling fans, which cannot be observed in single cell experiment. After then, as practical applications, portable fuel cell system and a hybrid electric cart were successfully integrated and operated by using this air-cooled stack.

Tube axial fans were designed to provide effective cooling for a personal computer by using $DasignFan^{TM}$ software. With basic input parameters of flow rate, pressure rise, rotating speed, and fan diameter, three dimensional geometry of blade is automatically generated and its performance and overall sound pressure level are predicted. In this steady, the newly developed fans of 60 mm and 80 mm diameters were proved to provide a very promising mode of low noise, compared with manufactured products.

In this paper, an automated design and 3-D modeling system of an axial fan and a boss for cooling towers was developed. API and parametric design Provided by a commercial solid-modeler are engaged to automate modeling process. Design data of the boss are assumed to be given by a user with design experiences while the fan from the fan design program using three-dimensional flow analysis. An algorithm avoiding the interferences between fans and a boss is developed. The design data are registered on the database not only to remove duplicate design but also to transfer the data to ERP system.
