Knowledge Management in Tailor Made Industrial Fans
An increasing proportion of industrial fans are custom designed to both maximise aerodynamic efficiency and conform to the gas transportation requirements.
The fan dimensions and technology are defined on a case-by-case basis adapted to the specific needs of individual project applications.
Adapting the fan dimensions on a case-by-case basis means that the same design is rarely, if ever, used twice.
The benefit of a custom industrial fan design process is that the resulting fan is optimised for the application.
A weakness is a requirement for a unique aerodynamic and mechanical design, and the associated risk of design related errors.
Here is a general view of the Program Architecture. Basically the program can be described in different modules, which are linked together in a relatively linear process, thus providing a step-by-step design process.
