The Mechanical Impact of Aerodynamic Stall on Tunnel Ventilation Fans
Table 2
Safety factor derived from strain gauge data for a fan at full speed with and without a fitted stabilisation ring.
| | Fan type | % Full speed | Normal operation safety factor | Stalled operation safety factor |
| | Plane casing, stalling blade angle | 100 | 2.3 | 0.3 | | Antistall casing, stalling blade angle | 100 | 2.5 | 1.1 | | Plane casing, nonstalling blade angle | 100 | 2.4 | 1.5 |
