Noise has a negative connotation and is best described as being 'un-wanted or objectionable sound' OK, well then what is sound. Sound is very similar to heat - it is a form of energy that...
We know sometimes things are all a bit too serious, so this issue we have decided to address the critical issue of industrial fan specifications and technical details with a touch of humour, but...
The rotating component of a fan is called an impeller, and is arguable the most important part of the fan. The impeller is designed from fluid dynamic specifications such as volume flow and pressure...
Did you know that air weighs 1.2 kg per cubic meter and when a fan moves this weight of air energy is required. Take an average Powder Coating Booth with a Reverse Pulse Dust Collector. ...
Recently "A" customer, who shall remain nameless, and who runs a large manufacturing concern had to meet a very critical chronological & geographic requirement (he had to be at a cricket match ...
At Morse Air Systems we are constantly coming across power problems brought to us by our customers. Here are a few of them to show not only the sorts of problems that can arise but what ...
Spare a thought for the air that we breathe. As humans, we breathe normally at approximately 6 litres of air per minute. This equates to about ½ kilogram of air per hour. ...
These days noise is an important environmental and OH&S issue. For the most part when dealing with fans it is the “rush” or roar at an inlet or outlet that is the problem. ...
Part 1 in a Technical Series by Michael Morse. A fan is a volume machine that shovels air. The bigger the shovel the greater the air flow. Fans are predictable and follow a strict set of laws. ...
The critical speed is the theoretical angular velocity which excites the natural frequency of a rotating object, such as a shaft. As the speed of rotation approaches the objects natural frequency, ...
In previous issues we have talked about natural frequencies as applied to the shaft /impeller assembly. There is another issue that can sometimes lead to problems in operation, ...
