HM 282

Experiments with an Axial Fan

* Transparent delivery and intake pipe1

* Measurement of pressure, differential pressure,
speed and temperature1
* LabVIEW software for data acquisition and
visualisation
Technical Description
The experimental unit HM 282 provides the basic experiments to get to
know the operating behaviour and the important characteristic variables
of axial fans. The software HM 280.03 for data acquisition and
visualisation makes the experiments especially clear and enables fast
execution of experiments with reliable results. For complete experiments
an interface module HM 280.01 and a cable set HM 280.04 are
additionally required.
The axial fan with drive motor features free speed adjustment. The long
and transparent intake and delivery pipes enable stable stationary flow
conditions. The air flow is set by a throttle valve at the end of the
pressure pipe.
The experimental unit is equipped with measuring transducers for
pressure, differential pressure, temperature and speed. Using the
software the measurements are represented graphically and
characteristics recorded. The air flow is calculated.
The additionally available power meter (HM 280.06) enables a
determination of the efficiency.
The well-structured instructional material sets out the fundamentals and
provides a step-by-step guide through the experiments.

Learning Objectives / Experiments

- Operating behaviour and characteristic variables of
an axial fan
* record fan characteristic (differential pressure as a
function of the flow rate)
* calculate the flow rate from the measured
differential pressure
In conjunction with the power meter HM 280.06
- Effect of the impeller speed on the efficiency and
delivery data
