Tri lobe blower

What is a tri lobe blower?

• The three-blade Roots blower is a commonly used volumetric fan. It is mainly composed of three intermeshing impellers (rotors), so it is also called a three-blade Roots blower. The working principle of this blower is based on the spatial changes between the impellers to compress and transport gas.
• Specifically, when two impellers mesh and rotate with each other, the space between them will periodically expand and contract as the impellers rotate, thereby sucking in gas and compressing the gas between the impellers, and finally discharging the compressed gas. go out. In this way, the Roots blower can suck in air and compress it in continuous rotation to achieve the purpose of transporting gas.

The main features of the three-blade Roots blower include:

• 1.High efficiency: The design of the three-blade Roots blower can achieve high efficiency and maintain efficient gas delivery even when operating at low speed.
• 2.Low noise: Due to the large gaps between the impellers and between the impellers and the casing, the noise generated during operation is low.
• 3.The transported gas is pure: Since there is no metal contact between the impellers, gases containing solid particles or viscous components can be transported without causing secondary pollution to the gas.
• 4.Simple structure: The structure of the three-blade Roots blower is relatively simple, mainly composed of an impeller, a casing and a transmission system, which is easy to maintain and maintain.
• 5.Stable operation: The impellers rotate in the same direction, making the fan operate smoothly and with little vibration.
• 6.Wide range: It has a wide range of applications and can be used in chemical industry, environmental protection, water treatment, food, pharmaceutical and other industries.

What is the difference between twin lobe and tri lobe blowers?

• 1.Number of leaves
• The main difference between a two-blade fan and a three-blade fan is the number of blades. A two-blade fan has only two blades, while a three-blade fan has three blades.
• 2.Functions and usage
• There are also differences in functions and usage between two-blade fans and three-blade fans. Double-blade fans are suitable for situations where the air volume is small, such as ventilation, cooling and heat dissipation. The three-blade fan is suitable for situations with large air volume, such as air conditioning and refrigeration, generator cooling, factory workshops, etc.
• 3.Noise and vibration
• Two-blade fans have less noise and vibration than three-blade fans. However, when running at high speed, the double-blade fan is prone to instability, which affects its service life.
• 4.Efficiency
• Due to the structural characteristics of the three-blade fan, it can better adapt to high-speed movement and has a larger flow rate, so it is highly efficient. The double-blade fan performs better at low speeds, but its efficiency gradually decreases at high speeds.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Two-Blade Fans and Three-Blade Fans

• 1.Advantages and disadvantages of double blade fan
• Double-blade fans have smaller power consumption and lower prices, and are suitable for situations with small air volume and low power. At the same time, it is also easier to clean and maintain, so it is loved by many users. However, the noise and vibration of the double-blade fan are relatively large, and it is prone to instability at high speeds.
• 2.Advantages and disadvantages of three-blade fans
• The three-blade fan has relatively high efficiency and is suitable for occasions with large air volume and high power. Because it has more blades, it can handle high-speed movements more easily. At the same time, the noise and vibration of the three-blade fan are smaller. However, due to its complex structure, maintenance and cleaning are difficult, and the price is relatively high.

Roots blower assembly

What is a roots blower?

Roots blower is a positive displacement blower that uses two blade-shaped rotors to move relative to each other in the cylinder to compress and transport gas. It is a volumetric fan and has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient manufacturing and easy operation.

Working principle

The principle of Roots blower is to use two blade-shaped rotors to make relative motion in the cylinder to compress and transport gas. The rotor is driven by a pair of synchronous gears and moves in the opposite direction to push the inhaled gas from the air inlet to the exhaust port.

Application scope

Roots blowers are widely used in petrochemical, building materials, electric power, smelting, fertilizer and other industries. They are suitable for gas transportation and pressurization systems in low-pressure situations, and can also be used as vacuum pumps.

What are the parts of a root blower?

• Roots blower consists of five parts: casing, wall panel, impeller, oil tank and muffler.
• Chassis: mainly plays the role of supporting (wall panels, impellers, mufflers) and fixing.
• Wall board: mainly used to connect the casing and impeller, support the rotation of the impeller, and provide end sealing effect.
• Impeller: It is the rotating part of the Roots blower, which is divided into two blades and three blades. However, due to the many advantages of three blades, such as smaller air pulsation, lower noise, and smoother operation than two blades, it has gradually replaced the two-blade Roots blower.
• Oil tank: Mainly used to store lubricating oil used to lubricate gears and bearings.
• Muffler: used to reduce the noise caused by air flow pulsation when the Roots blower enters and exits.

How does a Roots blower work?

• 1.Roots blower consists of two gear rotors and a shell that mesh with each other. One gear rotor is the stator and the other gear rotor is the rotor.
• 2.When the rotor rotates, the gas is sucked into the air inlet of the Roots blower and pushed into the compression chamber between the gear rotors. The exhaust port discharges compressed gas from the compression chamber and pushes the object forward.
• 3.As the rotor and stator rotate, the compression chamber with decreasing volume moves to the exhaust side, and the gas is continuously compressed and then discharged.
• 4.After that, the gear rotor rotates to the new air intake position, the new compression chamber begins to compress the gas, and the compressed gas moves forward and is discharged.
• 5.This movement process continues, creating air flow to push the gas forward. In this way, the Roots blower achieves the purpose of compressing and discharging gas by removing the volume of the gas compression chamber.

How does a roots blower work

• Working principle:
• Roots blower works with two rotors meshing with each other. When the gear drives the rotor to rotate, relative motion occurs between the two rotors, thereby forming airflow. One of the rotors is called the main rotor and the other is the passive rotor. The gear of the main rotor drives the passive rotor, which rotates simultaneously but in opposite directions. Gas is continuously entered and discharged in the gap between the two rotors, thereby generating pressure or extracting exhaust gas.
• Structural features:
• The rotor and casing of Roots blowers are usually made of high-strength alloy materials to ensure their durability and stability. The rotor surface is covered with coating to reduce internal friction and wear. In addition, the Roots blower is equipped with a cooling system to ensure the heat dissipation effect of the equipment during long-term operation.

Does a Roots blower compress air?

• The wind generated by Roots blowers is not typical compressed air. Although Roots blowers increase the pressure of gases, they work differently than typical compressed air equipment such as compressors. Roots blowers primarily push gas into a pipe through a rotating impeller rather than increasing gas pressure through a compression process.

What is the difference between a Roots blower and a blower?

• 1.Structural differences
• The unique structure of the Roots blower is composed of an outer rotor and an inner rotor. The two rotors mesh with each other to produce the effect of gas compression and transportation. This structure has the advantages of small size, low noise, no vibration and no oil pollution. The blower generates airflow through the rotation of the impeller in the casing, and then compresses and transports the airflow through the action of the air guide assembly. The blower has the advantages of compact structure, low energy consumption and long service life.
• 2.Differences in working principles
• Roots blower generates gas compression and transportation effects in the casing through the mutual meshing of two rotors. Roots blowers usually rotate at very high speeds, so they require specialized care and maintenance when working. The blower generates airflow through the rotation of the impeller, and then compresses and transports the airflow through the cooperation of the guide components. The working speed of the blower is usually low and the operation is simple, so you need to pay attention to correct operation and maintenance during use.

Lean and dense phase conveying

• Dilute phase conveying system
• The dilute phase conveying system uses compressed gas as kinetic energy to transport materials suspended in the air flow along the pipeline. The materials during the transportation process will form a gas-solid two-phase mixture with the gas.
• Applicable materials: powdery, granular, liquid and other dry materials, often used for conveying materials with good fluidity.
• Advantages:
  (1) Since the material has a low packing density and forms a gas-solid two-phase mixture with gas, the gaps between the materials are large, which can effectively avoid pipeline blockage during transportation.
  (2) The material-gas ratio is small, the conveying speed is fast, and it is suitable for short conveying distances.
  (3) The equipment structure is relatively simple, without too many valves, and maintenance is simple.
• Disadvantages: The conveying efficiency is low and it is easy to cause wear to the material due to too fast flow rate.
• Dense phase conveying system
• The dense phase conveying system promotes denser materials to be conveyed to the discharge point at a relatively low conveying speed by creating a pressure difference within the pipeline.
• Applicable materials: bulk materials with large particles and larger particle sizes, often used for conveying coal, ore, etc.
• Advantages:
  (1) The dense phase conveying system is suitable for large flow conveying requirements and long conveying distance.
  (2) The material-gas ratio is high, the transportation is stable, and the wear on the materials is low.
  (3) The energy consumption is relatively low, it can effectively reduce the emission of dust pollution, and is more environmentally friendly.
• Disadvantages: Due to the high density of materials in the system, blockage may occur.
