Fan Handbook: Selection, Application, and Design
By Frank P. Bleier
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional
•Number Of Pages: 640
•Publication Date: 1997-09-01
•ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0070059330
•ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780070059337
A good addition to other fan design books but incomplete by itself as it lacks any real guidelines on the mechanical design.
It should include more on impeller stressing (blade bending & hoop stress), shaft critical speed and impeller resonance.
There are a few anomalies but also some good flow information.
The axial and centrifugal flow design data is good except for centrifugal fan casings which really only covers wide, high volume designs. If you are looking for detailedcentrifugal casing design for high pressure blowers then look elsewhere (I am still looking).
The chapter on system resistance is very informative. The other sections on fan applications and the different fan types is also very good.
