Centrifugal Fan Demonstration Unit
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9967
The Centrifugal Fan Demonstration Unit (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9967) is a small-scale fan set-up for measuring the performance of a centrifugal fan and comparing two impeller designs. The fan, inlet duct, outlet duct and adjustable aperture are mounted on a stainless steel base, with a transparent cover plate on the volute. JaincoLab supplies this centrifugal fan demonstration unit to engineering colleges and polytechnics for fluid mechanics and turbomachinery practicals.
Specifications
The listed ratings are a maximum flow of 70 l/s (typical), a maximum head of 0.7 kPa, a maximum fan speed of 3000 rpm and a 550 W motor; flow is measured through an orifice plate, and sensors record fan head pressure and air temperature for logging on a PC.

Experiments on the centrifugal fan demonstration unit
The centrifugal fan demonstration unit is used to measure constant-speed performance and efficiency, introduce the similarity laws used for scaling fans, and compare two impellers on the same casing in fluid mechanics and turbomachinery practicals.
- Measuring fan performance at constant speeds
- Plotting static and total pressure, rotor speed and shaft power against inlet flow
- Measuring fan efficiency and estimating impeller efficiency
- Introduction to the similarity laws for scale-up
- Comparing the two impellers and checking student calculations against computer results
