How many types of blowers are there?
There are several types of blowers, but they can generally be categorized into three main types: positive displacement blowers, centrifugal blowers, and regenerative blowers. Each type has unique characteristics and applications.
1. Positive Displacement Blowers:
- These blowers use rotating impellers or lobes to trap and move a fixed volume of air with each rotation.
- They are known for delivering a consistent airflow and pressure, making them suitable for applications requiring precise airflow control.
- Examples include helical screw blowers and rotary lobe blowers.
2. Centrifugal Blowers:
- These blowers use rotating impellers to create airflow by centrifugal force.
- They are generally used for higher volume airflow applications with lower pressure.
- They are frequently found in ventilation systems and air handling units.
3. Regenerative Blowers:
- These blowers use a rotating impeller within a circular channel to create a vortex of air, which is then channeled out of the blower.
- They can be used for both pressure and vacuum applications and are known for their self-lubricating design.
- They are commonly used for applications requiring high pressure and/or vacuum.
Other types of blowers, such as axial blowers, high-speed blowers, and side-channel blowers, may also be encountered, but they often fall under one of the three main categories or are specialized versions of these.
