A regenerative blower makes it easy for any facility to have a clean, oil-free air source for various equipment. With hundreds of regenerative blower brands available, it's challenging to find the perfect blower suitable for all your needs. Here are five easy steps to help you find the best regenerative blower for your needs.
Heater Back Pressure
All regenerative blowers generate back pressure. Manufacturers include heater back pressure documentation with its accompanying manual. The Heater Performance Curve or equivalent sections will indicate heater back pressure in PSI or Inches of Water.
Blower Capability
Each blower model provides various outputs depending on your chosen model. Mostly, blowers have higher heater back pressures as blower outputs increase. Evaluate the blower's design if certain blockages, obstacles, or installation methods can increase heater back pressure.
Model Efficiency and Maintenance Requirements
Certain blower models are relatively efficient than others in specific situations. Multi-stage and positive-displacement blowers might be better than regenerative ones at some point. However, you consume less energy and deal with less maintenance using regenerative technologies.
Airflow Optimization
Before finalizing your chosen blower, check with your operators and facility manager if you can optimize the machine's airflow within your factory or manufacturing plant's design. Plus, make sure the blower is fully compatible with your existing machines.
Noise Level
While it won't affect your machine's performance, simultaneously turning on multiple machines can cause enormous noise pollution. Operators without proper noise protection gear can suffer from health risks. All blowers emit various noise levels, which will inevitably change your facility's overall noise level.
