As
per
the regulation in <Contract Law of People’s Republic Of China>, both
parties in the contract sign this contract regarding the project for the
development of an integrated
platform for fan design and numerical value test
after
negotiation.
I.
Development content & scope & requirement:
1. |
Based
on the existing lectotype software program, the data in the database
is
input. The data in the database includes the existing fan weight
(rolling
and sliding), starting torque (Actuator selection) and original no
dimension point. Additionally, the function of bidding part for fan
selection (including lectotype quotation list and successful bid
scheme,
etc.) is enlarged and perfected.
|
2. |
Integrate
the pneumatic calculation and structure strength from similar design
and
variation design including critical speed calculation of the rotor,
impeller strength, rigidity calculation, rigidity calculation of
casing,
startup time, GD2
calculation and finite element analysis,
etc.
|
3. |
Second
development of the connection between the fan and solid-work, and
establish the 3D model parameterization for fan components.
|
4. |
The
commercial software (CFD) from fluent Company is used to simulate
the
internal flow field of the fan and establish the value test platform
of
the fan as well as realize the value and visualization of test. The
verification of static-blade adjustable axial fan model including
effect
and replacement of every component and model performance determination
and
expansion was finished in 2006. The geometric parameter of the dynamic
blade and the static blade were defined as well. At the same time,
the
analysis and optimization of blower performance has been completed.
For
existing model machine in the factory at present, CFD flow field
analysis
was performed to determine the correctness of original model of the
machine and modification opinion.
|
5. |
Study
the effect of fan performance from various components and accumulate
the
data as well as improve the technical content and level.
|
6. |
The
value platform is used to develop the new product. The development
of
single-stage high-speed blower (three-dimensional flow impeller)
will be
emphasized in 2007. This type of blower is mainly used in the
petrochemical industry and sewage aeration treatment to shorten the
R
& D period and reduce the design cost as well as increase the market
competitive power.
|
7. |
To
incubate talents for party A, the party A will select 3 persons to
participate in the R & D work every year. The technical center will
provide the special assignment for research. The application of value
platform and setting of boundary condition will be mastered within
one
year. They can solve any issues of company in the product
development.
|
8. |
Carry
out the application research. The CFD technique is used to develop
the new
type of blade and improve the fan efficiency as well as reduce the
noise.
The party A is responsible for achievement transfer. For the detailed
project, the party A will provide the market demand and annual
plan.

II.
Plan
to be fulfilled, progress, deadline, location & form:
1. |
Wuhan
Blower Co., Ltd. and Huazhong University of Science & Technology will
cooperate in the joint establishment of a fan research center to
combine
production with teaching and
research.
|
2. |
Central
China Science & Technology University will finish the listed content
in 2007-namely, develop an integrated
platform for fan design and numerical value
test.
|
3. |
The
platform for development to be used by the fan research institute
is used
for new product development. The party A will provide the annual
development plan. Beside the development expense of this project,
the
party A will provide 1.5% of sales amount of new product annually
as
technical input.
|
III.
Price, remuneration or operation fee as well as payment method:
The
payment of 300,000 Yuan will be paid in 3 installments (including 150,000 Yuan
for equipment purchasing):
100,000
Yuan shall be paid within 1 week after the contract comes into
effect.
100,000
Yuan shall be paid prior to the end of February 2007.
100,000
Yuan shall be paid within 1 week after platform inspection and acceptance is
completed in 2007 (this expense shall be equal to 1.5% of sales amount of
products).
IV.
Technical information & data confidentiality:
The
party
B cannot disclose the party A’s data and information to third party.
V.
Acceptance criteria & mode:
The
technical achievement finished by R & D reaches to the related qualification
to be agreed in this contract. The party A will organize the related technical
expert to review the technical achievement and provide the acceptance
certificate of the technical project.
VI.
Achievement belongings:
The
research results belong to both parties. Both parties are prohibited from
unilaterally transferring the research results to any third party. CFD software
application belongs to the fan research center.
VII.
For
any issued not involved herein, both parties will negotiate and determine
