Blower System Design Tips
|
From Gast Group
In a regenerative blower, the compression space consists of a hollow, circular ring between the tips of the impeller blades and the walls of the housing. In operation, the rotating impeller draws in air from the inlet port into the compression space and moves it radially outward to the curved housing by centrifugal force. The action is called "regenerative" because a certain amount of air slips past each impeller blade during rotation and returns to the base of a succeeding blade for reacceleration. Because of this dynamic principle, regenerative blowers can generate pressure and vacuum performance comparable to many multi-stage or positive displacement blowers. Products & Services
Regenerative blowers are low pressure, high volume blowers that generate centrifugal airflow. They are used in compression, vacuum, and industrial blower applications.
