What is the purpose of Roots blower
Roots blower is a type of positive displacement blower, mainly used to provide gas flow and pressure to systems that require gas transportation or pressurization, such as gas pipelines, aeration tanks, pneumatic conveying, etc. The working principle of a Roots blower is to compress and transport gas by relative motion of one or several pairs of rotors (usually referred to as impellers) inside the cylinder.
The following are the main uses of Roots blowers:
1. Wastewater treatment: In the aeration tank of the wastewater treatment plant, Roots blowers are used to provide oxygen to the tank to support the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, thereby accelerating the decomposition of substances.
2. Pneumatic conveying: Roots blower can be used to transport powdered and granular materials through pipelines. This conveying method has the advantages of no pollution, large conveying capacity, and long conveying distance.
3. Cement industry: In the cement production process, Roots blowers are used to provide high-pressure gas to drive the operation of equipment such as mills and crushers.
4. Aquaculture: In aquaculture, Roots blowers are used to provide oxygen to the aquaculture ponds to increase the dissolved oxygen content of the water and support the respiration and growth of aquatic organisms.
5. Food industry: In the food industry, Roots blowers can be used for conveying and mixing food ingredients, as well as for gas protection during food packaging and storage processes.
6. Other applications: In addition, Roots blowers can also be used for gas transportation and pressurization in industries such as chemical, metallurgical, mining, papermaking, and power.
Roots blowers have the advantages of compact structure, smooth operation, high efficiency, and low noise, and have therefore been widely used in various industrial fields. However, when using Roots blowers, attention should also be paid to their maintenance and upkeep to ensure their long-term stable operation.
