Abstract
The lack of standards for industrial fan sizing forces companies to size its products under strong influence of precious experience, based, mostly, in empiric data. This can lead to the oversizing of the fans and, thus, increase the costs of the final product unnecessarily. The scope of the work is the computational fluid dynamics analysis of radial fans, using qualitative and quantitative results. The study was conducted in bench scale using a prototype. The characteristic data from the fan was collected and inserted in the ANSYS/FLUENT software. The preliminary results, using the original geometry will enable the project optimization, increasing the product’s efficiency via the elimination of supersizing and assessing the feasibility of computational simulations in the industry.
