Turbotec - High Speed Fan
A high speed jet of air is well suited to clean, dry or cool any object that is moving continuously or if contact needs to be avoided, e.g.: conveyor belts. At TURBOTEC, we have designed and developed a small and low power air jet cleaning installation. It consists of a small radial high-speed fan that supplies air through a specially shaped nozzle.
The fan rotates at 30000rpm and has a power consumption below 4.5kW. The impeller, diffuser and nozzle were designed using CFD in a single CFD model to assess the interaction between the different components and to exactly quantify and minimize the different losses in the system.
Both the fan and the nozzle were extensively tested in laboratory conditions to assess the validity of the CFD simulations. Test results confirmed the design performance and allowed us to optimize the different components. A prototype was assembled to conduct field tests to assess robustness and wear tolerance of the design.
