Industrial blowers are mechanical devices that can move gas or air and are used in several industrial processes as well as applications that require enhanced gas or airflow. Increased airflow is achieved by the rotation of a fan wheel consisting of several fan blades. This fan wheel accelerates the air entering the blower housing and pushes it out through the housing exit, thus supplying air to the applications. The fan wheel is typically rotated by an electric motor or a turbine. There are two types of blowers, centrifugal and axial, which are classified based on the direction of the airflow. Based on your application, a variety of blower design options is available, and the blower should be selected such that it offers long and efficient services.
Design Aspects
There are several aspects to be considered while designing industrial blowers, with the primary focus being on the application that the blower is being selected for. Specific flow and pressure requirement of the application are the primary factors taken into account for blower design. Another factor to be considered is the application's airflow characteristics, such as whether the blower will operate in an abrasive environment. A typical element in designing the centrifugal machines is to operate the units with operating pressure in a narrow range. While designing a blower, it is necessary to ensure that eddies and turbulence in the blower housing are also restricted, consequently keeping blade wear to a minimum. Large and fast fans result in increased force acting on the rotating structures; as a consequence the blower should also be designed such that impulsive resonant frequencies and excessive stress are eliminated.
Blower Selection and Installation
Generally, the selection of blowers is based on its longevity, performance, and efficiency. However, the noise characteristics of the blower are also taken into consideration, especially in cases where the blowers are used in HVAC systems. While installing the blower, it is important that it be installed on a rigid base to prevent resonance.
Blade Selection
Various blade types and configurations are available for industrial blowers, be it a centrifugal or an axial fan.
The primary blade configurations for a centrifugal blower are radial, forward inclined, and backward inclined. All of these blade configurations have pros and cons, and they should be selected based on the application.
Radial fans offer high pressure, high speed, and low volume airflow, making them ideal for pneumatic conveying systems as well as vacuum cleaners. In addition, its low sensitivity to solids also makes it particularly suited for applications with particulate-laden gas streams. Forward inclined fans are typically available with both flat and curved blades. These fans are ideal for low pressure, high volume applications. Backward inclined fans, on the other hand, offer better efficiencies and are better disposed to handle airflows with moderate particulate loading. They are particularly ideal for applications that require high pressures and medium flow.
Axial fans are available with variable pitch blades. In this type of fan, the pitch of the blade is periodically changed to suit the pressure and volume requirements of the application. Another variation of this type is the "on-the-fly" variable pitch, in which the blade pitch can be changed while the rotor is rotating. This option offers axial fans a versatility that makes them ideal for a broad spectrum of airflow applications.
Flow Control
In certain applications, flow control will also be a requirement. In such cases, a method of flow control must be selected. The two primary methods of controlling flow are speed variation and industrial dampers. Speed variation is achieved by controlling the speed of the driver. For this purpose, use an adjustable frequency AC controller, a hydraulic variable speed drive unit, plus a DC motor and drive. Industrial Dampers, on the other hand, control flow by restricting airflow. There are a variety of dampers available for use with industrial blowers, including radial inlet dampers, louvered inlet box dampers, and discharge dampers.

A schematic of a simple springassamper system used to demonstrate the tuned mass damper system.
Tuned mass dampers stabilize against violent motion caused by harmonic vibration. A tuned damper reduces the vibration of a system with a comparatively lightweight component so that the worst-case vibrations are less intense. Roughly speaking practical systems are tuned to either move the main mode away from a troubling excitation frequency, or to add damping to a resonance that is difficult or expensive to damp directly. An example of the latter is a crankshaft torsional damper. Mass dampers are frequently implemented with a frictional or hydraulic component that turns mechanical kinetic energy into heat, like an automotive shock absorber. An electrical analogue is a LCR circuit.
Consider a motor with mass m1 attached via motor mounts to the ground. The motor vibrates as it operates and the soft motor mounts act as a parallel spring and damper, k1 and c1. The force on the motor mounts is F0; suppose we wish to reduce the maximum force on the motor mounts as the motor operates over a range of speeds.
Let F1 be the effective force on the motor due to its operation. We will add a smaller mass, m2, connected to m1 by a spring and a damper, k2 and c2.
Response of the system excited by one unit of force, with (red) and without (blue) the 10% tuned mass. The peak response is reduced from 9 units down to 5.5 units. While the maximum response force is reduced, there are some operating frequencies for which the response force is increased.
The graph shows the effect of a tuned mass damper on a simple springassamper system, excited by vibrations with an amplitude of one unit of force applied to the main mass, m1. An important measure of performance is the ratio of the force on the motor mounts to the force vibrating the motor, F0 / F1. (We are assuming the system is linear, so if the force on the motor were to double, so would the force on the motor mounts.) The blue line represents the baseline system, with a maximum response of 9 units of force at around 9 units of frequency. The red line shows the effect of adding a tuned mass of 10% of the baseline mass. It has a maximum response of 5.5, at a frequency of 7. as a side effect, it also has a second normal mode and will vibrate somewhat more than the baseline system at frequencies below about 6 and above about 10.
The heights of the two peaks can be adjusted by changing the stiffness of the spring in the tuned mass damper. Changing the damping also changes the height of the peaks, in a complex fashion. The split between the two peaks can be changed by altering the mass of the damper (m2).
A Bode plot of displacements in the system with (red) and without (blue) the 10% tuned mass.
The Bode plot is more complex, showing the phase and magnitude of the motion of each mass, for the two cases, relative to F1.
In the plots at right, the black line shows the baseline response (m2 = 0). Now considering m2 = m1 / 10, the blue line shows the motion of the damping mass and the red line shows the motion of the primary mass. The amplitude plot shows that at low frequencies, the damping mass resonates much more than the primary mass. The phase plot shows that at low frequencies, the two masses are in phase. As the frequency increases m2 moves out of phase with m1 until at around 9.5 Hz it is 180 out of phase with m1, maximizing the damping effect by maximizing the amplitude of x2 x1, this maximizes the energy dissipated into c2 and simultaneously pulls on the primary mass in the same direction as the motor mounts.
Mass dampers in automobiles
Motorsport
The tuned mass damper was introduced as part of the suspension system by Renault, on its 2005 F1 car (the R25), at the 2005 Brazilian Grand Prix. It was deemed to be legal at first, and it was in use up to the 2006 German Grand Prix.
At Hockenheim, the mass damper was deemed illegal by the FIA, since the mass wasn't rigidly attached to the chassis and, due to the influence it had on the pitch attitude of the car, which in turn significantly effected the gap under the car and hence the ground effects of the car, to be a movable aerodynamic device and hence as a consequence, to be illegally influencing the performance of the aerodynamics.
The Stewards of the meeting deemed it legal, but the FIA appealed against that decision. Two weeks later, the FIA International Court of Appeal deemed the mass damper illegal.
Production cars
Tuned mass dampers are widely used in production cars, typically on the crankshaft pulley to control torsional vibration and bending modes of the crankshaft, on the driveline for gearwhine, and other noises. They are also used on the exhaust, on the body and on the suspension. Almost all cars will have one mass damper, some may have 10 or more.
Mass dampers in spacecraft
One proposal to reduce vibration on NASA's Ares solid fuel booster is to use 16 tuned mass dampers as part of a design strategy to reduce peak loads from 6g to 0.25 g, the TMDs being responsible for the reduction from 1 g to 0.25 g, the rest being done by conventional vibration isolators between the upper stages and the booster.
Dampers in power transmission lines
Stockbridge dampers on power lines.
High-tension lines often have small barbell-shaped Stockbridge dampers hanging from the wires to reduce the high-frequency, low-amplitude oscillation termed flutter.
Dampers in buildings and related structures
Tuned mass damper atop the Taipei 101.
Typically, the dampers are huge concrete blocks or steel bodies mounted in skyscrapers or other structures, and moved in opposition to the resonance frequency oscillations of the structure by means of springs, fluid or pendulums.
Sources of vibration and resonance
Unwanted vibration may be caused by environmental forces acting on a structure, such as wind or earthquake, or by a seemingly innocuous vibration source causing resonance that may be destructive, unpleasant or simply inconvenient.
Earthquakes
The seismic waves caused by an earthquake will make buildings sway and oscillate in various ways depending on the frequency and direction of ground motion, and the height and construction of the building. Seismic activity can cause excessive oscillations of the building which may lead to structural failure. To enhance the building's seismic performance, a proper building design is performed engaging various seismic vibration control technologies.
Mechanical human sources
Dampers on a pedestrian bridge - the Millennium Bridge, London (the white disk is not part of the damper)
Masses of people walking up and down stairs at once, or great numbers of people stomping in unison, can cause serious problems in large structures like stadiums if those structures lack damping measures. Vibration caused by heavy industrial machinery, generators and diesel engines can also pose problems to structural integrity, especially if mounted on a steel structure or floor. Large ocean going vessels may employ tuned mass dampers to isolate the vessel from its engine vibration.
Wind
The force of wind against tall buildings can cause the top of skyscrapers to move more than a metre. This motion can be in the form of swaying or twisting, and can cause the upper floors of such buildings to move. Certain angles of wind and aerodynamic properties of a building can accentuate the movement and cause motion sickness in people.
