Abstract: Using fluent software numerical simulation analysis and comparison of the same kind of multi-blade centrifugal fan blades and volute radial clearance on the air volume of the air duct machine, at the same time, through experiments to test the air volume and noise. It is analyzed that after increasing the radial clearance between the blades and the volute, the impact of the blade outflow and the volute is accelerated, the air volume of the duct machine will increase by 2.3% to 4.7%, and the noise of the duct machine will increase by 0.2 dB(A) to 1.5 dB(A). When designing the air duct machine, it is possible to appropriately adopt the way that the fan blades and the volute are not concentric to increase the air volume, which provides theoretical and experimental basis for the subsequent design and development of the air conditioner.
