Vibroactivity of low noise fans

Low-noise fans are widely used in the sphere of human life for sanitary and technological purposes. Creation of low-noise fans is currently an advanced scientific and technical area. In some fields of their application, reduced vibrations and noises are of paramount importance not only in terms of sanitation and health, but also from a scientific point of view.
This work presents a comparison of the quality of low-noise fan development depending on the selected resistance type. The efficiency of the damping of mechanical system (a low-noise fan) vibrations according to the type of resistance moment used is confirmed analytically and practically.
Nowadays, a number of fan types implemented in hundreds of designs have been developed and are in service. In this work, the whole variety of the produced nomenclature of low-noise fans is reduced to two basic types — axial and radial. The paper reports that to ensure minimum noise in the operating mode of the low-noise fans presented in the work, a wideband vibration damper is needed as a required functional unit, and the walls of the fan housing should be sandwich-like with layers made of sound absorbing, sound insulating, and vibration damping materials.
