[0012] Referring to the drawings, the specific implementation is as follows:

[0013] For example, Figure 1As shown, a backward high-pressure centrifugal fan based on CFD simulation design includes a volute 1, an impeller 2 located inside the volute 1 and a main shaft for driving the impeller 2 to rotate, the impeller 2 is a backward impeller, the impeller 2 includes a front disc and a plurality of blades 4, the number of blades 4 is 12 to 16, one side of the front disc faces the air inlet 3, the air inlet 3 is inserted and installed on the side wall of the volute 1, the front side of the plurality of blades 4 is connected with the front disc respectively, the front side of the blade 4 is chamfered from the front disc along the direction away from the front disc and away from the main shaft, the chamfering angle of the chamfering surface relative to the main shaft axis is 35~75°.

[0014] As shown, Figure 2 The plurality of blades 4 are uniformly spaced along the circumference of the impeller 2, the end of the blade 4 close to the main shaft is defined as the inlet end and the end away from the main shaft is defined as the outlet end, the included angle between the tangent of the blade surface at the inlet end of the front side and the tangent of the concentric circle on the front disc passing through the inlet end of the front side is defined as the front side profile inlet angle, the front side profile inlet angle is 25~45°, the included angle between the tangent of the blade surface at the outlet end of the front side and the tangent of the concentric circle on the front disc passing through the outlet end of the front side is defined as the front side profile outlet angle, the front side profile outlet angle is 40~65°.
