In this article, we will uncover what a high-speed turbo blower is, how it works, and the applications that are best suited for high-speed turbo blower technology.
High-speed turbo blowers deliver maximum performance by packaging a single stage centrifugal blower with advanced energy management systems. The combination provides an efficient package that is designed to deliver superior efficiency for wastewater and general industrial applications.
High-speed turbo blowers rely on aerodynamic air-foil bearings. Unlike traditional ball bearing based systems, air foil bearings utilize the high rotational speeds generated by the motor to create a pressurized film of air around the bearing shaft. This ensures that there is no contact between the shaft and the bearing housing.
Therefore, allowing air foil bearings to avoid some of the issues faced by ball bearing based systems. Issues such as the constant need for service and lubrication; allowing them to maximize performance, and reduce equipment downtime.
