Centrifugal fan impellers produce pressure from two related sources :(1) the centrifugal force created by rotating the air column enclosed between the blades, and(2) the kinetic energy imparted to the air by virtue of its velocity leaving the impeller. This velocity in turn is a combination of rotative velocity of the impeller and air speed relative to the impeller. 1, record 2, English, - centrifugal%20fan%20impeller

Forward curved blade fans. Forward curved blades... are mounted on what is often referred to as a squirrel cage rotor. Fans with these blades produce a high volume for their size, and are lightweight and economical. Because forward curved blades can collect deposits they are only used for handling clean air. Forward curved blade fans are used extensively in small air handling equipment(less than 610 mm diameter). Their efficiency is lower than that of airfoil fans. The scroll is often similar to other centrifugal fan designs, however, the clearance between the impeller and inlet is not as critical as for airfoil or backward inclined blade impellers. 6, record 3, English, - forward%20curved%20blade%20fan

Airfoil blade fans... are the most efficient of all centrifugal fans. These fans are most applicable to large systems where the energy saving owing to their high efficiency offsets their relatively high cost. The blades, which usually number ten to sixteen on the impeller, are contoured to react like an airplane wing. Airfoil fans produce extremely smooth flows and, for a given use, are the highest speed centrifugal fans. These fans have stable operation and low noise level over their full range. Airfoil blades are expensive to produce and repair, limiting their use to clean, nonabrasive gases. The construction of the scroll, the close internal clearances, and the precise alignment of the impeller and inlet bell are features which aid in attaining the high efficiencies of these fans. 3, record 5, English, - airfoil%20fan

wheelaborator.... The [castings] are tumbled about in a cabinet on a horizontal belt and at the same time are subjected to bombardment by a stream of metal shot. This latter is maintained by feeding the shot on to the blades of an impeller. The shot are then projected centrifugally at high speed on to the castings. This method is more economical and admits of better control of the abrasive than is possible using air jets. The moving belt must, of course, be well covered with parts to be cleaned, and the impeller blades should preferably be of some hard metal such as high-silicon iron. 3, record 6, English, - shot%20blasting%20machine

"wheelaborator" : A machine used for cleaning castings. The latter are tumbled about in a cabinet on a horizontal belt and at the same time are subjected to bombardment by a stream of metal shot. This latter is maintained by feeding the shot on to the blades of an impeller. The shot are then projected centrifugally at high speed on to the castings. This method is more economical and admits of better control of the abrasive than is possible using air jets. The moving belt must, of course, be well covered with parts to be cleaned, and the impeller blades should preferably be of some hard metal such as high-silicon iron. 3, record 12, English, - wheelabrating

Le grenaillage, comme le sablage, est une opération qui consiste à soumettre des pièces métalliques au martellement répété de grains abrasifs animés d'une grande vitesse (au moyen d'air comprimé ou par force centrifuge), mais, dans ce procédé moderne, le sable est remplacé par de la grenaille métallique dont la force vive est plus élevée. (...) Le grenaillage peut se faire avec les mêmes machines que le sablage, mais il est surtout exécuté sur les machines à turbines. 2, record 12, French, - grenaillage%20%C3%A0%20l%27aide%20d%27une%20machine%20%C3%A0%20turbine

Selon un spécialiste de la compagnie Stelco que nous avons consulté, le "Wheelaborator" se rapporterait à une marque déposée. Il s'agit d'un type d'appareil de grenaillage. La description que nous avons trouvée dans la source anglaise TOTME nous apprend qu'il s'agit d'une turbine, d'où les propositions françaises. On pourrait aussi dire : "grenaillage à l'aide de l'appareil "Wheelaborator". 1, record 12, French, - grenaillage%20%C3%A0%20l%27aide%20d%27une%20machine%20%C3%A0%20turbine

The flat radial blade fan is the simplest and least efficient type of centrifugal fan.... This fan is used primarily for materials handling applications and air streams containing abrasive solids. Modified version of the blade shape are used to improve efficiency. The radial impeller, which has from six to ten blades, has high mechanical strength and is easily repaired. Flat radial blades cause turbulent air flow resulting in particles in the gas stream deflecting away from the blades, giving maximum resistance to abrasion but low efficiency. Fan housing dimensions and clearances are not as important as for other centrifugal fans because of the low efficiency of the blades. 1, record 13, English, - flat%20radial%20blade%20fan

Le ventilateur à pales radiales plates est le ventilateur centrifuge le plus simple et le moins efficace (...) On l'utilise surtout pour la manutention des matériaux et lorsque l'écoulement contient des particules abrasives. On peut modifier la forme initiale des pales pour augmenter l'efficacité de l'appareil. La roue radiale, qui comprend six à dix pales, a une résistance mécanique très élevée et la roue se répare facilement. Les pales radiales plates provoquent une turbulence qui projette les particules de gaz loin des pales, ce qui assure une résistance maximale à l'abrasion mais un faible rendement. Les dimensions et les jeux du carter du ventilateur ne sont pas aussi importants que pour les autres ventilateurs centrifuges à cause du faible rendement des pales. 1, record 13, French, - ventilateur%20%C3%A0%20pales%20radiales%20plates

Centrifugal fans are enclosed in a scroll-shaped housing, which is designed for efficient airstream energy transfer. This type of fan has the most versatility and low first cost and is the workhorse of the industry. Impeller blades may be radial, forward-curved, backward-inclined, or airfoil. When large volumes of air are moved, airfoil or backward-inclined blades are preferable because of higher efficiencies. For smaller volumes of air, forward-curved blades are used with satisfactory results. 4, record 14, English, - forward%20curved%20blade
