"Blowers" are one of the pump types that are used to transfer air at high flow and low pressure by using the air in the environment. The most important feature of these devices is that they rotate the fan with the force they receive from the electric motor and realize air transfer. Industrial blowers are generally known as devices that work with the help of an electric motor and are used to obtain the air required for a medium or process. It is possible to encounter these devices, which are also used to perform vacuuming according to the method of use and connection type, directly or indirectly in almost every field of the industry. Industrial blowers, which are used for a long time in every application where high air flow is required, are generally referred to as centrifugal blower models.

Working Principle of Industrial Blowers

Industrial blower is the most common name given to the equipment that tries to transfer the air at high flow rate or low pressure in the emitted environment. It turns the fan with the force it receives from the motor. It can be used in two different ways as blown or vacuum. The fan in the blower rotates and vacuums the air in the suction section. The process is completed by pushing the air trapped inside to the exit side. Industrial blowers are generally used for air transport. The air sucked in the blower must be pushed through a filter. Otherwise, dirt accumulation may occur in the fan and casing, which may lead to abrasion. Apart from wear, the working capacity and efficiency of the blower are also negatively affected. Congestion may occur in the suction and discharge parts of the blower. For this reason, it is necessary to have a safety valve and to check the flow regularly.

What should be considered in blower selection?

Each piece of equipment has its own specific conditions. First of all, the location of the blower must be determined correctly. The air temperature, relative humidity and altitude in the place where the blower will operate must be taken into consideration. It should be selected with a margin of at least 15%, taking into account the pressure or vacuum values to be studied. In addition, it is not preferred that the operating values are towards the end of the blower curve. Blowers can be used in a wide variety of different applications. It is successfully used in water treatment applications, in aeration process and filter backwashing, in pools and jacuzzi applications, as a dust collector blower in industry, in the transport of granular and powder materials in the plastic and food sectors, and in many other applications.

How to Choose a Blower?

The most important thing to do for these types of devices that work with air force is to learn the air flow rate. The positive pressure mbar value to be used in air transfer will make it very easy to choose the blower. For the types of devices to be used for vacuum, the opposite –mbar values should be taken into consideration. In addition to these, determining the ambient temperature is one of the important requirements for making an appropriate selection.

Benefits of Using Blowers

Blower is an apparatus that provides advantages in many areas. These devices, which provide regular air and gas flow, are very easy to maintain and do not require an extra maintenance cost. It also provides a great advantage in terms of longevity. But the common complaint is their loud noisy work which can be stopped by using acoustic hoods as sound enclosure.
