Abstract
It is important to recognize that the design of any machine is an interdisciplinary process, involving aerodynamics,
thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, stress analysis, vibration analysis, the selection of materials, and the requirements for
manufacturing. The operation of any mechanical system will always produce some vibration. Our goal is to minimize the effect of
these vibrations, because while it is undesirable, vibration is unavoidable. The result of excess vibration can vary from nuisance
disturbance to a catastrophic failure. All fans must generate some vibration. They continuously rotate and since nothing is perfect,
cyclic forces must be generated. Its only when vibration reaches a certain amplitude that we call it bad. Vibration may just be an
indicator of some problem with a mechanism, or it may be a cause of other problems. Finally, vibration can transmit into adjacent
areas and interfere with precision processes, or create an annoyance for people. Hence the objective of this study is to present
vibration analysis of centrifugal blower for materials such as steel, aluminium and composite (glass/epoxy).

Fans and blowers provide air for ventilation and industrial
process requirements. Fans generate a pressure to move air (or
gases) against a resistance caused by ducts, dampers, or other
components in a fan system. The fan rotor receives energy
from a rotating shaft and transmits it to the air. Blowers are
one of the important component used regularly in Boiler
operation. High efficient fans can increase Boiler efficiency.
They are used to supply air for combustion of fuel in boiler
furnace using Forced Draught (FD) fan, installed in front side
of furnace supplying air either at normal temperature or at
elevated temperature, if air is supplied using air-pre heater.
The fans must have a pressure capability high enough to
overcome the total resistance of inlet silencers, air preheat
coils, air ducts, air heaters, wind boxes, burner registers, and
any other resistance between the air intake of the fan and the
furnace. The flue gases generated after combustion of fuel can
be drawn out using Induced Draught (ID) fans. They maintain
furnace pressure slightly below atmospheric. Primary Air
(PA) fans are used to supply combustion air for atomization of
pulverized fuel. Secondary Air (SA) fans are used to convey
pulverized fuel through duct conveying system. Generally FD,
SA, and PA are direct-drive fans whereas ID fan is belt-driven
fan.

DESCRIPTION
There are three types of loading that actually act on the
centrifugal fan impeller. The first one is the centrifugal force
caused because of impeller rotation that results in centrifugal
acceleration of the impeller body. The second is that resulted
