Hot-Air Cleaning Fan Performance Data for Crop Separation

Experimental data from a study optimizing a hot-air cleaning fan for damp crop separation. The dataset contains results from aerodynamic performance comparisons and a Response Surface Methodology (RSM) analysis with three factors at three levels. It was authored by Tao Zhang and shared under a CC BY 4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze the correlation between fan speed and outlet air velocity using the experimental results.
• Apply RSM to model the effects of inlet air temperature and volute temperature on outlet air temperature.
• Compare outlet average air velocity between the modified-inlet fan and the original fan model.
• Benchmark theoretical optimal fan parameters (1445 rpm, 85 °C inlet, 60 °C volute) against test results.

Strengths

• Data is derived from a structured experimental design using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with three factors at three levels.
• Includes specific, validated optimal parameters: fan speed of 1445 rpm, inlet temperature of 85 °C, and volute temperature of 60 °C.
• Results are benchmarked against a real-world original fan from a combine harvester.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 5.5 KB, indicating limited scope and likely a small number of experimental observations.
• No column names or sample data are provided, making the exact structure and variables unclear.
• The data is specific to a single experimental apparatus for crop separation, limiting generalizability.
