    The rear guide vane is a critical component influencing the aerodynamic and acoustic performance of mixed-flow fans. Inspired by owl wing morphology, the thickness distribution from a long-eared owl wing at the 40% spanwise section and applied it to biomimetic guide vane blades, using the prototype vanes' mean camber line as the baseline. Experimental measurements under identical airflow conditions showed that the fan equipped with biomimetic vanes achieved a 1.4% efficiency improvement and a 0.8 dB noise reduction compared to the prototype. Numerical simulations revealed no significant low-velocity zone near the biomimetic vane trailing edge, with a more uniform flow distribution and effective suppression of flow separation and vortex shedding. The results demonstrated enhanced matching between the impeller and guide vane, significantly reducing impeller outlet flow impact on the vane leading edge. Furthermore, noise analysis confirmed reductions in both broadband and discrete noise within the mid-to-low frequency range, achieving dual objectives of higher efficiency and lower noise emission.

    The fan wheel of the outdoor unit in air conditioning systems directly impacts the energy efficiency, stability, noise levels, and environmental performance of the system, and also a key factor to improve the overall performance of air conditioning systems. Based on the four-boundary theory of the impeller, this study systematically optimizes the outdoor unit's fan wheel through a combination of numerical simulations and experimental research. The results demonstrate that the flared design at the leading edge of the blade effectively controls the top and bottom rotating vortices, increasing the fan pressure and air volume by approximately 10% at the same rotational speed while reducing noise by 1.3 dB(A) at the same air volume. Additionally, the backward-curved design in the region of 2% of the impeller diameter at the blade tip significantly suppresses the tip vortex backflow effect and pressure pulsation, maintaining the same air volume at the same rotational speed while reducing noise by 0.5 dB(A)~1 dB(A) at the same air volume. The two optimization schemes exhibit a synergistic effect; when applied simultaneously, they achieve a noise reduction of 1.7 dB(A)~2.3 dB(A) at the same air volume, with a 3 dB(A)~4 dB(A) reduction in the peak of low-frequency rotational noise, significantly improving the acoustic quality.

    The IH rice cooker of our company has relatively high working noise, which affects the user experience. To address the noise issue, a research project was initiated. Firstly, the mechanism of noise generation in IH electric cookers was analyzed, and verification tests were conducted using the single variable method, and the test data were organized and analyzed with mathematical tools. Research findings indicate that the main factor affecting the operational noise of IH rice cooker is the noise generated by the fan, and improving the performance of rice cooker requires a balance between reducing the overall temperature rise AD value and fan noise; The fan's rotational speed is the main factor affecting the overall noise of the machine, while the tip clearance and installation position of the fan have relatively minor impacts; The main factors influencing the temperature rise AD value of IGBT components are the fan's rotational speed, tip clearance, and installation position. The experimental tests of the hand-built prototype show that, while keeping the shape of the fan unchanged and reducing the fan speed to 2600 r/min, setting the the blade tip clearance was 1 mm, and the fan position was lowered by 2 mm, the noise level of the rice cooker and the AD value of IGBT temperature rise were optimized to 45.45 dB (A) and 74.17 ℃ respectively, with significant noise reduction effect. . The research results have certain guiding significance for the developmentand optimization of IH electric rice cookers.

    Research focuses on the noise of light commercial refrigeration compressors. By comparing the noise spectrum and frequency modes of the shell, the direction for improving noise level of a certain frequency is identified. By Testing and comparing the noise spectrum, shell mode and the frequency results of the A-23cc compressor, the frequency of 2500 Hz was selected as the noise optimization target. In response to the characteristic of the highest excitation amplitude of 2600 Hz in the shell mode, which directly affects the overall noise of 2500 Hz, the shell will be changed as the improvement target. By moving the position of the shell welding strip downwards, the modal excitation peak of the shell was shifted from 2600 Hz to 2800 Hz, thereby reducing the impact on the noise spectrum of 2500 Hz. Compared with the results of the overall noise test before and after the improvement of the shell mode, the noise at 2500 Hz decreased by 6.1 dB(A), and the compressor overall noise decreased by 3.0 dB(A).

At present, there are limited methods in the industry to reduce the volume of compressors, especially in aspect of the gas-liquid separator. A miniaturized rotary compressor with a gas-liquid separator installed underneath has been proposed, which reduces the main body width of the compressor by 45% compared to conventional compressors in the same capacity range. By combining simulation and experiment, the heat transfer, gas-liquid separation, and oil return processes inside the gas-liquid separator were analyzed, and the optimal structural design of the gas-liquid separator was confirmed. The results showed that after adopting the innovative "near stagnation refrigerant insulation" technology, the compressor capacity increased by 2.2% and the energy efficiency increased by 3.3%.
