Everything you Need to Know About Roots Blowers

What is a Root Blower?

Roots blower is a positive displacement lobe pump which operates by pumping fluids with a pair of meshing lobes not unlike a set of stretched gears. Fluid is trapped in pockets surrounding the lobes and carried from the intake side to the exhaust. Roots blower is also used to supercharge Otto cycle engines, with the blower being driven from the engine's crankshaft via a toothed or V-belt, a roller chain or a gear train.

What are the uses of a Root Blower?

·         The Roots blower is simple and widely used.

·         It can be more effective than alternative superchargers at developing positive intake manifold pressure (i.e., above atmospheric pressure) at low engine speeds, making it a popular choice for passenger automobile applications.

·         Roots blowers are typically used in applications where a large volume of air must be moved across a relatively small pressure differential.

·         This includes low vacuum applications, with the Roots blower acting alone, or use as part of a high vacuum system, in combination with other pumps.

·         Charging of kiln is one of the critical stages where Roots Blowers are used

·         Roots Blowers are also used to convey cement and fly ash in a cement manufacturing plant.

What are the advantages of Root Blower?

·         In the largest domestic consumption is roots vacuum pump (hereinafter referred to as the roots pump).

·         Roots pump start-up fast, low power consumption, low operation maintenance cost, large pumping speed, high efficiency, to be drained gas contains a small amount of water vapor and dust is not sensitive, in 100 ~ 1 mpa pressure range greatly extraction rate, can quickly remove all of a sudden release of gas.

·         This pressure range is between the mechanical vacuum pump and diffusion pump oil seal type.

·         Therefore, roots vacuum pump is often in series between the oil diffusion pump and mechanical vacuum pump oil seal type, used to improve the swept volume middle pressure range.

·         At this time it is also known as a mechanical booster pump.

·         The roots vacuum pumps smooth running, low noise, small vibration, high ultimate vacuum.

·         Root blower repair is more cost effective than getting other solutions in large mechanical equipment company.

·         PD Blower repair companies offer an effective solution for your blowers.
