Vane Blower Compressor Animation

Air is compressed by decreasing volumelubricant is continually injected to cool seal and lubricate.

Vane blower compressor animation. Blowers are usually air cooled and oil free. Motor mounted 1531 1 10 1251525 10 15 720 335 0532 1 15 005296049 1010 15 820 335 1032 1. High pressure air passes into the primary oil separator. If well built with a steel rotor and hardened liner in the casing it will require a new set of vanes about every 20000 miles.

The units are compact relatively inexpensive and require a minimum of operating attention and maintenance. The sliding vane would be the most expensive to operate. Rotary vane compressor or vane blower the rotary compressor is adaptable to direct drive by induction motors or multicylinder gasoline or diesel engines. Air is drawn in through the intake valve.

The rotors and gears for the 671 gm blower cost about 50000 to replace but of course this is a large size. Vane compressors are also known as rotary vane air compressors use a centrifugal motion to generate compressed air rather than the reciprocating motion of the compressor piston pumpanother make of air compressor that uses centrifugal motion is the rotary screw compressor which uses a gear to build air unlike the vanes used in the vane compressor design. Our exclusive use of rotary vanes is with our shallow water winter aeration system that uses diffuser tubing instead of a traditional plate diffuser. Rotary vane pumps tend to be a bit more expensive than other compressors and that may play a part in the fact that they arent as commonly used as the more popular rocking piston systems.

Remaining traces of lubricant are removed in a final separator element ensuring high quality air. For a given pressure ratio and fad vane compressor requires less work input than that for roots blower. A roots blower is a valve less displacement compressor without internal compression.
