Effects of cut volute profile on squirrel cage fan performance and flow field

The flow pattern in the volute of a squirrel cage fan is complicated and non-axisymmetric. In this article, the original volute profile of a squirrel cage fan was cut to control and reshape this non-axisymmetric flow structure. An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of the cu...
