Abstract. To carry out this research, we set up a measurement station for the analysis of aerodynamic noise induced by the drying machine heat exchanger. The adequate velocity field of the air flow was simulated, while eliminating the noise of the built-in fan to the greatest extent possible.
All measurements were taken in the anechoic chamber. The integral and local aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics of heat exchangers were analyzed. The measurement of local aerodynamic characteristics comprised the measurement of the velocity fields with the hot wire anemometer on the heat exchangers output plane. The possibility of the power spectra estimation during the design of energetic properties of the heat exchanger is discussed.
Key Words: Noise, drying machine, heat exchanger, aeroacustics measurement

IDENTIFIKACIJA AERODINAMIČNE BUKE
TOPLOTNOG IZMENJIVAČA MAŠINE ZA SUŠENJE RUBLJA
Za istraživanje je upotrebljen sistem za merenje i analizu aerodinamke buke toplotnog izmenjivača mašine za sušenje rublja. Simulirano je polje brzine vazdušnog toka uz eliminisanje, u najvećoj mogućoj meri, buke ugrađenog ventilatora. Merenje su izvodena u anehoičnoj sobi. Analizirale su integralne, lokalne aerodinamične i akustične karakteristike kondenzatora. Lokalne aerodinamične karakteristike su analizirane merenjem polja brzine sa "hot wire" anemometerom na izlaznoj površini kondenzatora. Razmatrana je mogućnost estimacije spektra snage u toku projektovanja energetskih osobina toplotnog izmenjivača.
Ključne reči: buka, mašina za sušenje, toplotni izmenjivač, aeroakustična merenja.
