Natural gas blower

rotarysingle-stage

The Turbotron® is a machine with a peripheral toroidal channel, similar to side channel blowers, but featuring a revolutionary impeller and channel design, developed through long research and tests. The operating principle, and advantages are the same as side channel blowers, and yet, the wing contour of the impeller vanes and the peripheral channel with the central core allow the achievement of performances similar to positive displacement machines. Generalities and construction features in conformity with the 94/9/EC Directive (ATEX) Construction features are the same as side channel blowers. But, differently from the side channel machines, the Turbotron® blowers designed to extract or compress combustible gases, such as biological or natural gas, are always manufactured with their own shaft and bearings. Sometimes they are coupled to the electric motors via a flexible shaft coupling. In general they are coupled to the electric motors via belt drives. This is because the Turbotron® for combustible gases is a machine designed for a wide range of permissible operating speeds of rotation (from 2000 to 5000 rpm), and therefore, a very large operating range can be achieved using a single machine size. Fields of application - Machines with gas recirculation - Control via frequency inverter - Accessories Everything said for the side channel machines also applies to the Turbotron® blower with the exception of the compact by-pass solution which is not available for this type of machine. The overpressure relief valve, when provided, is always fitted on an offtake at the discharge side.
