Study of Corrosion Analysis and Material Optimization of Critical Part of Centrifugal Blower by FEA

mechanical engineering

Blowers are one of the types of turbo machinery which are used to move air continuously with in slight increase in static pressure. Blowers are widely used in industrial and commercial applications from shop ventilation to material handling, boiler applications to some of the vehicle cooling systems. As per the discussion with concern persons of Food industries primarily fruit juice producing company. It is found that they are facing many problems regarding centrifugal blower. They are using centrifugal blower for ventilation purpose, also they are using blower to maintain the temperature of food storages (Pulp storage).The present centrifugal blower is made up of from M.S. material here corrosion is a major problem. The ingredients of the same are mixing with fruit pulps, which are harmful; also weight of the present blower is high. This paper gives the solution to above problems by optimization of centrifugal blower impeller by static and modal analysis using FEA for the material MS, SS. SS316L
