Blowers enable the transfer of air or gas at high flow rate and low pressure by increasing the pressure of the absorbed gas. The correct selection of blowers, which have a wide range of uses from industrial applications to home electronics, is of great importance in terms of system efficiency and cost. In this article, we will cover the key factors to consider when choosing a blower.
Type of Application
When choosing a blower, the type of application it will be used in is one of the most important factors. For example, while the blower selected for the aeration application of a wastewater treatment plant is used for blowing, which means pressurization, on tyhe other hand the blower selected for edge cutting systems in textile machines is used for vacuum; In this respect, applications with different features are chosen by looking at vacuum or pressure curves. Choosing a blower that suits the needs of the application is critical to efficiency and performance.
Capacity and Volume Requirement
Another determining factor in blower selection is the air capacity and volume of the area to be used. This need is usually stated in cubic meters per hour (m³/s) and indicates the minimum air movement capacity of the blower to be purchased. Choosing a blower suitable for the air capacity required by your application ensures correct and efficient operation of the system.
Pressure Requirement
The ability of blowers to move air or gas is measured at a specific pressure. Therefore, knowing the static and dynamic pressure your system requires is important for choosing the right blower. You can maximize the performance of the system by choosing a blower that suits the pressure needs of your application.
Temperature and Ambient Conditions
The temperature values in the environment where the blower will operate should be taken into consideration when choosing the blower. Blowers that must operate at high temperatures must be manufactured from special materials. Additionally, other conditions of the working environment, such as humidity and dust, are also an important factor in blower selection.
Energy Efficiency
In order to reduce energy costs and cause less harm to the environment, it is important to choose an energy efficient blower. Energy efficient blowers provide cost savings in the long term and are also advantageous in terms of sustainability. The energy consumption of the blower is an important factor to consider when making the choice.
Size and Physical Properties
A blower should be selected according to the dimensions of the area to be used. Additionally, ease of installation and maintenance should also be considered. The physical dimensions of the blower must be compatible with the size of the area to be installed.
Cost
Budget is an important factor in blower selection. However, attention should be paid not only to the initial cost, but also to the operating and maintenance costs. It should be noted that a cheap blower may cause high operating and maintenance costs in the long run.
Brand, Manufacturer and Distributor Reliability
There are many blower manufacturers and many blower brands on the market. When choosing a blower, factors such as the manufacturer's reputation in the market, warranty conditions and customer service should be taken into consideration. Blowers purchased from a reliable representative of a reliable manufacturer with service and spare parts services generally have longer life and performance.
How to Choose a Blower? Determination of Flow and Pressure Values
Blower selection is an important step in industrial processes, and the right choice ensures energy saving, efficiency and long-lasting operation. Blower selection should be made by taking into account factors such as the amount of air or gas required, pressure values, working conditions and energy consumption.
For example, your flow rate requirement is usually measured in m³/s or m³/h, while your pressure requirement is expressed in bar or mbar. Working conditions, type of gas and environmental conditions are also important factors affecting the performance of the blower. Kilowatt (kW) requirement indicates the amount of energy required for the blower to operate, and this requirement can be calculated based on flow rate and pressure values.
Blower types also vary depending on the application. While positive displacement blowers work with rotors that carry a constant volume, centrifugal blowers work with a rotating disk. Factors such as additional features, noise level, cooling and heating requirements, and filtration should also be taken into account.
By choosing the right blower, energy savings can be achieved, high efficiency can be achieved and the life of the blower can be extended.
