Axial Fan Test Rig APPARATUS

Axial Fan Test Rig APPARATUS AXIAL FAN TEST RIG. (variable speed)

Technical Description:

This equipment comprises of a Axial Flow Fan coupled to a DC Motor. Power input to the DC Motor is varied by means of a Thyristor controlled DC Drive to vary the RPM of motor. A RPM Indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of Axial Fan. A Pitot Tube with manometer is provided in the delivery line of Axial fan for static and dynamic and differential pressure measurement.

Learning Objectives/Experiments:

To find out the discharge, head and efficiency of the Axial Fan

To plot the graph Efficiency Vs Discharge

To plot the graph Discharge Vs Head

Required for Operation:

Electricity supply: Single phase, 220V AC, 50 Hz, 5-15 amp combined socket with earth connection. Earth voltage should be less than 5 volts.

Floor Area required: 2.5 m x 0.75 m.

Technical Specifications:

Axial fan : compatible capacity

Drive : 1 HP DC motor. With thyristor controlled DC drive for variable speed.

Pitot tube (with manometer ) : for static , dynamic & different pressure measurement
