Abstract: This journal is design calculation of the single-stage centrifugal blower. The two main components of a centrifugal
blower are the impeller and the casing. The impeller is a rotating component and the casing is a stationary component. In
centrifugal blower, air enters axially through the impeller eyes and air exists radially. The blower casing is to direct the gas to
the impeller and leads it away at a higher pressure. Before the gas leaves the casing its velocity is reduced and partially
converted into pressure by diffuser action. In this journal, air flow rate is 63m3/min and the motor speed is 3500rpm. The shaft
diameter and hub diameter are 24mm and 58mm. The impeller inlet width and outlet width are 63.2mm and 29.8mm. Impeller
inlet vane angle is 24.9 .̊ Impeller inlet diameter and outlet diameter are 270mm and 583mm.

be 5 to 10 percent greater than the outside radius of the
impeller to avoid turbulence and noisiness and to give the
velocities of the water leaving the impeller a chance to
equalize before coming into contact with the tongue.
