Air Blower Demystification
The air blower is a handy piece of equipment to have around for many different functions. Depending on the type of industrial blower, its power capacity and design of blades, it can perform various operations like cooling, conveying, dust removal, and more. Its uses are endless and the many different types can be customized to fit each unique application. Here’s how you can determine which type of air blower is right for your needs.
Air Blower Demystification
Blowers are used in applications where air or gas is needed to be compressed or high velocity streams are required. There are two main types of industrial blowers, an air compressor and an air blower. Air compressors are used in applications that require intermittent bursts of compressed air or where air is needed to be compacted, such as pneumatic drills, power tools, air cylinders for automation, air brakes and sandblasting. Air blowers are used in applications that require continuous or high speed air flow, such as ventilation, air conditioning and cleaning machines.
In order to create an air flow, both industrial blowers and compressors use a system of rotary machinery that creates a centrifugal force. Air is sucked into the centre of the machine and then separated through the impeller. This causes the rotation of the impeller, which in turn creates a flow of air out the centre of the device. Depending on the design and size of the impeller, there are different air pressures and speeds that can be created.
Typically, air blowers are found in manufacturing facilities, office spaces, and other types of technical production environments. They are also commonly used in mines as a way to ventilate underground shafts. ASPINA designs its industrial blowers to be efficient and powerful while using minimal energy to keep electricity costs down. They are also abrasion resistant, so they can handle the rough conditions of these environments.
There are many different types of air blowers, each designed to perform specific and essential industrial processes. These functions include cooling, air handling, drying, material conveying, dust control, and fume extraction. They are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, operating pressures, and designs and can be custom built to suit the requirements of each industry.
Centrifugal blowers are a common type of air blower. They are available in single or multi-blade designs and can be customised to meet the specific airflow and pressure requirements of an environment. They work on the principle that when an object is pressurised, it loses volume as a result of Boyle’s law. This means that when the air blower releases its air, it rapidly expands to atmospheric pressure and is then ejected from the device as a high-velocity stream.
