Side channel blowers applications and selection
When it comes to air handling equipment, the side channel blower comes first in our mind. A side channel blower carries air or gas by rotating an electric fan with multiple blades through a tight, narrow fitting pump housing at a very high speed. The air is carried in through the inlet and as it enters the side channel, the rotating impeller imparts velocity to the gas in the direction of rotation. Centrifugal force in the impeller blades accelerates the gas outward through outlet and increases the pressure accordingly.
The impeller is positioned directly on the shaft of the motor. Following the Principle of Impulse, the side channel blower generates the kinetic energy from a rotating impeller. This energy is transported to the pumping medium and eventually converts into high pressure.
Typical application for side channel blowers are Food processing, Aquaculture, Packaging, Pneumatic Conveying, Spraying, bottle filling ,Dam aeration and spa pools etc. They are also used to carry out operations like vapor extraction from soil, sewage aeration, thermoforming. It is the best way that uses a displacement device to trap air and channelize it in the given direction.
IMPORTANCE OF SIDE CHANNEL BLOWERS
Side Channel blowers are well known for its versatile properties. This small machine can be used in different activities like carrying fluids, laser printing, pneumatic conveying, or providing proper ventilation to a sewage treatment plant. The simple design and non-contact configuration of our side channel blower machine makes it affordable and secure.
- Energy Efficient- The modern side channel blowers are developed using integral drives installed onto the electric motor. This type of configuration provides proper space for the blower adjustment. The drives act as an energy-saving device that saves a lot of energy by giving the proper control of the blower to the user.
- Suitable For All Environments- Side channel blowers can be used for all types of environments, even in a potentially explosive atmosphere. You can replace the electric drive motors with the hydraulic motor, that are spark-resistant or use flame proof motors.
- Silent Operation- Side channel blowers work by the rotation of electric motors. It comes with a silencer, which is adjusted on the outlet part. With the help of silencers, it makes the pumping process smooth and does not produce any noise pollution.
- No Wastage- Side channel blowers save a lot of time and energy and simplify the pumping process efficiently.
- Oil free compression- With the help of this machine, you get clean and contaminant-free air. Along with this, the continuous and intense rotation of the fan produces a lot of heat that can also be used for the drying process.
In Australia, side channel blowers have been installed in various applications for pressure as well as vacuum. For wastewater treatment systems where the depth of water column is more than that can be handled with linear blowers, higher pressure blowers are very popular. They also are very popular in conjunction with air knives for drying out applications.
