Attention: Axial Flow Fan
MadelaineG157468. Mastering the Fan Curve: Understanding Stall, Surge, and Efficiency
Understanding the fan performance curve is crucial for selecting and operating an ac axial fans fan efficiently, as it graphically illustrates the relationship between airflow (volume), static pressure, and ac cooling fans power consumption[1]. The curve shows that as the airflow rate decreases (due to increasing system resistance), the static pressure generated by the fan increases up to a maximum point, after which it drops rapidly[1]. This region of rapid pressure decrease is highly unstable and is characterized by two critical aerodynamic phenomena: stall and surge[1][16]. Stall occurs when the fan's angle of attack—the angle at which the blade meets the incoming air—becomes too high, causing the air to separate from the blade's surface[16]. This flow separation creates turbulence, reduces lift, and causes a dramatic loss of pressure and efficiency[16]. Surge is the resulting system-wide instability, where the fan experiences rapid, cyclical oscillations in airflow and pressure, sometimes even reversing the flow momentarily[1]. This is often accompanied by excessive noise and vibration, and can be severely detrimental to the fan and the entire system[1]. Efficient and stable fan operation must occur at the point on the performance curve to the right of the stall and surge region, where the pressure and flow are steady. Designers use this curve to ensure the fan's operating point matches the system resistance curve, maximizing efficiency while completely avoiding the volatile stall and surge zone.
