Today we’ll explore the side channel blowers for water purification.
Side channel blowers are devices used in numerous industrial applications where a constant air flow is crucial. This includes water purification. These devices play a critical role in the water purification process, as they help maintain the efficiency of the aeration system
.

Aeration: the key process in water purification

Aeration is one of the key processes in water purification. During this process, water is aerated with oxygen to support the growth of bacteria that break down organic materials in the water. Aeration is essential to maintain water quality and prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

Side channel blowers are used in this process to provide the necessary oxygen for bacterial growth. Side channel blowers consist of an impeller rotating inside a body, within which a specially designed duct conveys and compresses the air, directing it through a delivery duct. The pressurized air is then sent to one or more diffusers for a uniform distribution of micro-bubbles in the water. In this way, oxygen is provided to the bacterial colonies in the water.

Vacuum Pumps and Side Channel Blowers

Side Channel Blowers for Industry

Available for Immediate Delivery: Side Channel Vacuum Pumps

Side channel blowers are essential components for various industrial processes, where the transfer of air or gas at high pressure and constant flow is necessary. These machines use the centrifugal force produced by the rotation of an eccentric rotor inside a cylindrical chamber, creating a pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the channel.

Side channel blowers are suitable for the transfer of non-aggressive gases, such as air, exhaust gas, fumes, and vapors. They can be used in various processes, such as wastewater treatment, food and pharmaceutical industries, wood and metal processing. They are particularly suitable for the pneumatic transport of granular or powdery materials, such as the transfer of grains, powders, etc.

Those pumps are available in a wide range of capacities and pressures and can be customized to meet the specific needs of any application. Typically, these machines are made of cast iron or aluminum, depending on the required processing. But not only: the choice of construction material also depends on the operating conditions and operating temperature.

The operation of blowers is based on a simple but effective air compression technology. The air or gas to be transferred is sucked in from the machine's inlet and compressed as it passes through the side channel, where the necessary pressure is generated for fluid transfer.

The gas is then expelled from the machine's outlet, where it can be discharged or channeled to another application.

Constant pressure with different flows

Those blowers can provide constant pressure even when the flow varies. This is possible thanks to their flow regulation technology, which allows maintaining a uniform flow when the inlet varies or providing constant pressure when the flow is changed.

This makes side channel blowers for the industry particularly suitable for processes that require constant pressure, such as mixing processes or pneumatic transport.

Moreover, thanks to their construction technology, the design that channels the air flow, and the low rotation speed, side channel blowers for the industry are characterized by low noise and vibration levels. This makes them particularly suitable for processes that require a low noise level.

Operating Principle of Dry Screw Vacuum Pumps

These pumps belong to the family of dry compression gas transfer pumps. They use two screw-shaped rotors to move gas along the screw axis.

Dry screw vacuum pumps operate using two counter-rotating screw rotors, designed to rotate towards each other, trapping gas between the screws. As the screws rotate, this trapped gas volume decreases due to compression and moves towards the exhaust.

A motor drives the two rotors via a gear. The gears and bearings are lubricated but separated from the pumping mechanism by shaft seals or labyrinth seals, ensuring oil-free compression.

The rotors do not have any mechanical contact with each other or the pump housing, resulting in no mechanical wear. Modern pumps, driven by an electronic frequency converter, rotate more slowly at pressure intervals close to atmospheric pressure. Some versions use blow valves to maintain constant rotation speed even at high pressures. Cooling is typically water-based.

Performances

Dry screw vacuum pumps can achieve final pressures of 0.01 mbar, with an operating pressure range of 10³ to 10⁻² mbar. Various sizes are available with pumping speeds ranging from 60 to 1200 m³/h.
