Method for measuring and comparing fan efficiency
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fans, in particular to a fan efficiency measuring method for a heat dissipation system of a passenger car or a bus.
Background
During the running process of passenger cars and buses, engines of the passenger cars and the buses can generate a large amount of heat, so that the heat dissipation efficiency of an engine heat dissipation system is directly influenced by the efficiency of a fan, the heat dissipation efficiency of different fan models is different, and even if the heat dissipation efficiency of fans of the same model is different, a method for finding proper fan efficiency is more important, and the performance of the whole car heat dissipation system is more intuitively influenced.
The method comprises the steps of finding a plurality of test points on a cross section, calculating a specific wind speed value of each point, then calculating an average value of the wind speed values, and finally multiplying the average value by the area of the cross section to obtain the wind volume, wherein the larger the wind volume is, the higher the efficiency of the fan is, but the whole measuring process is complex, the larger the error is, the equipment cost is high, and the current rapid and accurate measuring requirement is difficult to meet. Besides, there are other techniques for measuring the air volume, such as measuring the air volume with an orifice plate, measuring the air volume with a tapered inlet, and measuring the air volume with an ISO venturi nozzle, but these methods cannot accurately measure the air volume of a fan.

It can be seen from fig. 1 that the auxiliary blower 3 for blowing, the driven blower 2 for measuring the relative voltage and the driving blower 1 for sucking wind are sequentially arranged in the whole pipeline from left to right, the wind direction 4 of the wind tunnel is also from left to right, two phase ports of the driven blower 2 are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the multimeter 5, the driving blower 1 is connected with an ECU controller 6 through a USB serial port 7, and the controller 6 can adjust the rotating speed of the driving blower 1. The auxiliary fan 3 is used for blowing, the driving fan 1 is used for sucking air, a wind tunnel is formed in the pipeline, the driven fan 2 is fixed at the air inlet of the wind tunnel, the blades are driven to rotate by utilizing the passing air flow to output alternating current voltage, a stabilized voltage power supply or a switching power supply is externally connected to the end of the driving fan 1 to control the input voltage of the driving fan to be a certain value, the rotating speed of the fan is required to be adjusted by the ECU controller 6 when different driving fans 1 are replaced, so that the input current of each driving fan 1 is the same, different driving fans 1 are all in the same input condition, the relative voltage measured at the driven fan 2 has comparability and validity, the driven fan 2 adopts three-phase electricity, the larger the relative voltage value is, the higher the efficiency of the fan is indicated, therefore, the efficiency of the driving fan 1 can be obtained by measuring the relative voltage value of the driven fan 2, and the measurement requirement is met.
