Pasifik Blower presents highly-developed, sturdy, two-lobed and three-lobed Roots Blowers.
USEFUL INFORMATION
Roots Blower is a mechanical machine that is one of the positive displacement pumps. Although blowers are low pressure pumps, they provide higher air flow than most compressors. The flow is constant regardless of pressure changes. Roots blowers are commonly referred to as air blowers, rotary lob pump or positive displacement (PD) blowers.
Roots Blower was designed by the Francis and Philander Roots brothers in 1860 in the USA.
Roots Blower Pump consists of two numbers lobed rotors. Rotors are called twin-lobe or three-lobe (tri-lobe) according to having lobe numbers. One is “driving rotor” that is generally worked by an electrical motor and the other one is “driven rotor” that is worked by gears attached to the driving rotor. The air (or gas) is sucked inside the pump in which it is converted pressure air via displacement of air (or gas) and as pressure air is blowed outside by means of the rotors that rotate non-contactly in opposite direction. That is, ambient air can be converted to the pressure air inside the pump. That is the reason how air is converted to the pressure air. This is working principle of all roots blowers.
The roots blowers and compressors are both important machines for industrial applications, but there are some basic differences between two mechanisms. First, both possess different working principles. The roots blower sucks ambient air or gas into blower body and turns the air into pressurized air with rotating rotors. In other words, blowers do not compress the air internally in order to produce pressure and volume. On the other hand, compressors (derivated from compress word) compress the air to convert it pressurized. Second, while roots blowers can create low pressure at high volume, the compressors make high pressure at low volume. The capacity of blowers is upto 1 bar at 15.000 m3/h. whereas compressors’ one is 10 bars. In conclusion, roots blower is not essentially a compressor, albeit it is generally regarded as a compressor.
