A Critical Review of Stall Control Techniques in Industrial Fans

Figure 2

Data recorded from a pair of circumferentially offset high frequency response pressure transducers located over the blades of a 1250 mm diameter model of a variable pitch in motion induced draft fan. From 26 to 28.5, the fan is operating in the stable region of its characteristic. We can observe a spike-like feature at 28.5 seconds that is characteristic of stall inception. From 29 to 36 seconds the variation in pressure is associated with the fan’s stalled operation [36].
