The efficiency of these devices is increased with air preheating. Gnerally, the flow through the air preheaters is driven by a centrifugal fan, via forced draft. Through a widening transition duct (large angle diffuser), air flows from the fan towards the air preheater. In terms of fluid mechanics, the geometry of such a duct is often unfavorable.This research is aimed at improving the flow in large angle diffusers. A test platform was built with which the flow in diffusers of various geometries can be studied.
