1 Axial Fan Wind Turning Vane Scale Model Test Results Prepared for ACCUG Conference September 22-25, 2014 San Diego, California By MarJn J. Cuerdon P.E. 9/7/2014 Advanced AnalyJcal SoluJons, LLC 1

2 Classic Axial Fan Flow DistorJon and Asymmetry Distorted flows arising from upstream air- turning circumstances are, however, unavoidable in many instances. For example, a fan taking air from the free atmosphere will be subjected to varying wind condijons, which in the most severe case will be at right angles to the fan axis. Source: Wallis, R. Allen, Axial Flow Fans and Ducts, John Wiley & Sons, 1983, ACC Axial Fans are inherently operajng with crosswinds of the most severe case. 10/16/2013 Advanced AnalyJcal SoluJons, LLC 2

9 Conclusions: 1. Non- Axisymmetric Axial Fan Output Airflow is the result of Non- Axisymmetric Inlet Flow. 2. Non- Axisymmetric Axial Fan Inlet Flow in ACC s is caused by crosswinds. 3. Axial Fan Inlet/Outlet Asymmetry is independent of the Fan Diameter. 4. A small diameter axial fan should be sufficient to test the Wind Turning Vane Concept, i.e., will the wind turning vane operajng in a cross wind condijon result in axisymmetric axial fan outlet airflow? 9/7/2014 Advanced AnalyJcal SoluJons, LLC 9

24 Wind Turning Vane Scale Model Test Conclusion: The Axial Fan Wind Turning Vane Scale Model Converted a Crosswind Inlet CondiJon Into an Axi- Symmetric Outlet CondiJon. Therefore, A Full Scale Wind Turning Vane, mounted on an Air Cooled Condenser, Should Significantly Reduce Crosswind Fan VibraJons. 9/7/2014 Advanced AnalyJcal SoluJons, LLC 24
