Description Force and flow for the Adjustable Air Amplifier™ is changed by turning the exhaust end (with the knurled ring loose) to open or close the continuous air gap. When the desired performance is obtained, the knurled ring can be tightened to lock the flow at that setting. Utilizing the Coanda effect, these Air Amplifiers provide a simple, low cost way to circulate air, move smoke and fumes, cool or dry parts, and distribute heat. Available in aluminum or stainless steel for food service, higher temperatures (up to 400°F / 204°C), and corrosive applications. Custom materials, mounting options (flanges) and sizes are available.
Applications - Vent welding smoke
- Cool hot parts
- Dry wet parts
- Clean machined parts
- Distribute heat in ovens and molds
- Ventilate confined areas
- Dust collection
- Exhaust tank fumes
Advantages Compared to Fans: - Compact, lightweight and portable
- No electricity required at the point of use (uses compressed air)
- No moving parts — minimal maintenance
- Ends are easily ducted
- Instant on/off and variable force/flow
- No RF interference
Compared to Venturies and Ejectors: - Higher flow amplification with lower compressed air consumption
- No internal obstructions
- Meets OSHA pressure and noise requirements; quiet operation
