Optimization of Industrial Blower

Abstract: Blowers are one of the types of turbo machinery which are used to move air continuously with in slight increase in static pressure. Blowers are widely used in industrial and commercial applications from shop ventilation to material handling, boiler applications to some of the vehicle cooling systems. The performance of the fan system may range from free air to several cfm (cubic feet per min.). Selection of fan system depends on various conditions such as airflow rates, temperature of air, pressures, airstream properties, etc. Although, the fan is usually selected for nontechnical reasons like price, delivery, availability of space, packaging etc. The blower is always analyzed by its performance curves which are defined as the plot of developed pressure and power required over a range of fan generated air flow. Also these fan characteristic curves can be used to data like fan bhp for selection of the motor being used. As per the discussion with concern person of the company Foodosavy solutions, Chinchwad, Pune, Maharashtra. It is one of the leading companies in the field of fruit juice. They are facing many problems regarding centrifugal blower. They are using centrifugal blower for air conditioning and ventilation purpose, also they are using blower to maintain the temperature of food storages (Pulp storage).The present centrifugal blower is made up of from M.S. material here corrosion is a major problem. The ingredients of the same are mixing with fruit pulps, which is harmful, also weight of the present blower is high and vibrations produced by the given centrifugal blower is more, discharge of the present blower is 10.84 m3/s, which is somehow less as per the pulp area of the industry considered. This paper gives the solution to above some problems which are facing the industry i.e. Foodosavy solutions, Chinchwad, Pune.
