The air blowers for fuel cell electric vehicle usually have big difference between inlet and outlet pressure. When the casing of the air blowers is designed, the stress analysis is required. (Approximately Inlet pressure is 0.5bar and outlet pressure is 2bar.) Gap distance between the casing and the impeller is 0.3mm. Therefore, if the amount of maximum deformation of casing is larger than 0.3mm, impeller crashed the casing. In order to avoid crashing, both the thickness and number of rims are changed and carried out simulations on each cases.
