Industrial blowers work by using a rotating impeller to increase the pressure and velocity of air or gas, which is then discharged at a defined point. The process involves drawing air in, accelerating it with centrifugal force, and then directing the pressurized air outward.
Here’s a more detailed explanation:
Air Intake:Air or gas enters the blower through an inlet.
Impeller Rotation:An impeller, a rotating disc with blades, is set in motion.
Centrifugal Force:The rotating impeller creates a centrifugal force that pushes the incoming air outward.
Air Acceleration:The air is accelerated as it moves between the impeller blades, increasing both its velocity and volume.
Pressure Build-up:The high-velocity air is contained within the blower’s housing, causing a pressure build-up.
Air Discharge:The pressurized air is then discharged from the blower through an outlet, often directed towards a specific location.
Different types of impellers (forward-curved, backward-curved, or radial) are used depending on the specific application and desired airflow characteristics.
