industrial air blowers

Why are air blowers needed in industrial applications?

Air blowers are used in industrial processes that need controlled gas flow for the work of ventilation, aeration, particulate transport, combustion, cooling, drying, exhaust etc.

Air blower machines in UAE and Oman are usually found in places where there is metal being manufactured, power being generated, cement being produced, mining, petrochemicals being produced, food processing, cryogenics and so on. Air blowers are a lot like

Air blower machines in UAE and Oman are usually found in places where there is metal being manufactured, power being generated, cement being produced, mining, petrochemicals being produced, food processing, cryogenics and so on. Air blowers are a lot like air compressors and are widely used in industrial manufacturing activity except the pressure generated is typically under 1barg.

Most industrial air blower designs use an air compression / air pumping element to produce gas flow. The pressure at the outlet side of the air blower is higher than the pressure at the inlet side. The air blower also can be used to move gases or air from hot to cooler places, cool to hotter places or simply re-directs unwanted gas away or to specific areas for safe handling.

Air blowers come in two types: dynamic namely integrally geared or multi stage centrifugal air blowers and positive displacement namely trilobe or screw air blowers.

Centrifugal air blowers use fan-like blades, also known as impellers, rotating at high speeds to increase the velocity of the gas coming in from the inlet side. The unit comes in single stage and multi-stage variants and the fan blades themselves can be oriented in several ways - radial, forward curved and backward curved. In many modern Air blowers the impeller speed can be adjusted by variable speed drive technology and dampeners to change the flow rate of the gas.

Positive displacement air blowers have a similar operating principle to positive displacement compressors. These types of air blowers draw gas from an inlet into a chamber and then squeeze that gas out through the outlet by means of a rotating element like a rotary vane or rotary screw system. The idea is that the chamber increases in volume to make room for the gas and then decreases in volume to force the discharge or simply pump the air from inlet to discharge like a tri-lobe blower.

The centrifugal type produces variances in flow rate based on the pressure of the gas at the inlet end. The positive displacement type tends to maintain a more constant output flow regardless of changes in gas pressure.
