What Are Side Channel Blowers & How Do They Work?
Side channel blowers are used within a large variety of industries and applications to generate suction, blast air, or to produce large volumes of dry, clean compressed air. This is essential for processes such as blowing material, dry blowing, vacuum lifting, sealing air, point suction and the aeration of fluids.
Side channel blowers can transport air or gas by utilising a rotating fan with blades (an impeller), which generates kinetic energy that can be converted into pressure. Gas is first taken in through the inlet, and as it enters the side channel, the impeller imparts velocity to the gas in the direction it will rotate. This creates a centrifugal force in the blades, which is used to accelerate the gas outwards, causing the pressure to increase. It’s these rotations that create the kinetic energy, which further increases the pressure along the side channel. When the side channel reaches the rotor, it narrows, which acts to sweep the gas off of the impeller blades and then discharge it out of the pump.
