Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and optimization of a centrifugal fan with requirements of maximizing the total-to-static pressure rise and total-to-static efficiency at two operating points and the maximum torque provided by the motor power using a 3D inverse design method, a DOE (design of experiment) study, an RSM (response surface model) and a MOGA (multi-objective genetic algorithm). The fan geometry is parametrized using 13 design parameters, and 120 different designs are generated. The fan performances of all the designs at two operating conditions are evaluated through steady-state CFD simulations. The resulting design matrix is used to create an RSM based on the Kriging method and MOGA is used to search the design space using the RSM and find the optimal design.
