离心鼓风机能效限定值及节能评价值
GB 28381-2012 is a current mandatory Chinese national standard for Minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and evaluating values of energy conservation for centrifugal blower. It appears in the Construction compliance cluster with a energy efficiency focus and has an implementation date of Sep 1, 2012.
Applicability depends on product scope, certification route, competent authority notices and transition rules. Requst for the translation or verify source before using this record in a compliance decision.
Compliance overview
Scope and applicability
This standard applies to single-stage double-support low-speed centrifugal blowers, multi-stage low-speed centrifugal blowers, single-stage double-support high-speed centrifugal blowers (including double-inlet single-side impellers), and multi-stage high-speed centrifugal blowers. It is essential for manufacturers and importers of industrial centrifugal blowers in the Chinese market. Compliance with this standard is mandatory for specified blower types.
Technical requirements
GB 28381-2012 establishes the minimum allowable values of energy efficiency and evaluating values of energy conservation for centrifugal blowers. Clause 5.3 of this standard is mandatory, requiring manufacturers to meet strict polytropic efficiency limits. Manufacturers must ensure their products meet these mandatory efficiency benchmarks to enter the Chinese market. The standard defines the calculation method for polytropic efficiency based on factors such as the polytropic index, adiabatic index, and inlet/outlet pressure and temperature. The energy efficiency limits are categorized by impeller diameter, impeller outlet width ratio, and the number of stages. Specific adjustments are mandated for certain designs: if a three-dimensional flow impeller is used, the efficiency limits must be increased by 5%. For cantilever-type single-stage double-support blowers, the efficiency limits must be increased by 1%. Engineers must carefully calculate these adjustments based on their specific impeller design.
Testing methods
The performance testing of centrifugal blowers shall be conducted in accordance with JB/T 3165, which covers the thermal performance testing for centrifugal and axial blowers and compressors. This ensures accurate measurement of the polytropic efficiency under specified standard test conditions.
FAQs
What products are regulated under GB 28381-2012?
It regulates various types of centrifugal blowers, including single-stage and multi-stage, low-speed and high-speed models, specifically those with double-support structures.
Is GB 28381-2012 a mandatory standard?
Yes, Clause 5.3, which specifies the minimum allowable values of energy efficiency, is mandatory. The rest of the standard is recommended.
Are there efficiency adjustments for specific impeller types?
Yes, if a three-dimensional flow impeller is used, the efficiency limits must be increased by 5%. For cantilever-type single-stage double-support blowers, an additional 1% is required.
The summary above provides a high-level overview of GB 28381-2012.
