Numerical Analysis and Experimental Verification of an Industrial Cleaner

Cleaner blowers play an important role in the proper functioning of fluffs collection system for industries. In this paper an industrial blower with three different volute geometries is investigated by using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). And then two new volute geometries are modeled and analyzed based on the air flow through the blower. The numerical investigation revealed that the blowers with modified volute geometries have better outlet velocities. For this work, volute is modeled using Solid Works and meshed in ICEM CFD. The post processing is carried out using CFD POST. The results obtained were then validated and compared the experimental values of the different models of the blowers.
