PLASTIC BLOWERS
The user must always know that blower can have large
number of operating point along the length of its
characteristic curve, varying from 'Static No delivery' to
'Free delivery'. However when the blower is connected to
ducted system, the operating point can only be that point
where the system resistance curve intersects the fan curve
as indicated in figure 1.
1 Nowadays the Backward bladed
blower is most widely used because of its useful feature of
self limiting power curve, the power requirement reaching a
peak at a flow rate some what higher than the normal
selection point and thereafter decreasing with further
increase of flow - as shown in figure 2.
2 Please not6e the
system resistance / pressure drop will depend on layout
details like duct size and its length, velocity, number of
bends, pressure drops in hoods, scrubber / dust collector,
chimney etc. Volumetric capacity depends on the
application's exhaust & ventilation requirements. If you are
unable to estimate the pressure drop and required capacity
/ volume, then let us know these details of layout.
