Project description
New turbofan design cuts energy use
Industrial fans and blowers are used for many processes such as gas compression, air drying, air ventilation and water treatment aeration. Regardless of the industrial application, they typically operate continuously. Long run times translate into significant energy consumption and high annual operating costs. Italian company Aeromeccanica Stranich specialises in the design and fabrication of fans and blowers used around the world. With the help of the EU-funded Stranich F3000 project, the company will assess the technical and commercial viability of a lower energy consumption turbofan. The new design is based on an impeller that allows the air/fluid flow without creating turbulence. Target markets include the food and beverage, chemical and petrochemical industries.
