Air blower has been widely used in many industrial fields such as wind tunnel and large ventilation systems. Its performance is affected by operating conditions and system geometry of inpeller and duct, and these design parameter optimization is essential for the effective development. CFD analysis is carried out to investigate the air flow field characteristics with outlet total pressure in a blower system. Intake air into the impeller blade through the inlet is compressed, and then gradually discharged from the outlet with ascending total pressure, and predicted results are compared with test data. Especially this overall pressure difference in the blower system severely depends on the flow rate. These results are expected to be used as applicable design data for blower performance improvement.

The noise of large and high-power machines was evaluated and the establishment of mitigation measures was studied. The noise level of large machinery and high-power machinery installed at domestic plant sites was investigated and compared with the noise disclosure regulations to see if they met the standards of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. This investigated the soundproofing design of large and high-power machines and the soundproofing design of complex noise of large machines installed in the plant, and prepared the design standards of the plant design company. In the future, we will compile a database of data to secure standards for research and plant design related to noise reduction, and propose noise improvement and management measures for large and high-power machines.

본 연구는 콘덴싱 보일러 내부에 들어가는 원심 터보형 송풍기의 성능 향상 및 그 유동특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 보일러는 연소를 위해 반드시 필요한 가스와 공기의 양이 조절되어야하며, 이를 위해 송풍기는 보일러 내부의 한정된 영역을 차지한다. 한정된 영역에서 최적의 효율을 얻기 위해서는 케이싱 및 임펠러의 형상을 변경하는 것이 일반적으로 사용되며, 형상변화에 따른 입/출구압력, 유량, 임펠러의 토크 등의 성능특성을 파악하였다. MRF(Multiple Rotating Frame)기법 및 k-ù SST 난류 모델을 적용하여 회전 임펠러에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 형상의 변경에 따라 송풍기의 성능특성 및 최적화된 설계형상을 제안하였고, 압력측정실험을 통해 그 결과를 검증하였다.
