What type of Roots blower is needed for 50 aerators
The question of what type of Roots blower is needed for 50 aerators mainly depends on multiple factors such as the type of aerator, aquaculture area, water depth, and the required aerator effect. However, based on general experience and reference information, the following suggestions can be given:
1、 Estimate based on breeding area and number of aerators
1. Breeding area: Based on a stocking rate of 3-4 aeration plates (aerators) per acre, 50 aerators can cover approximately 15-20 acres of breeding area.
2. Roots blower model: For such aquaculture areas, SR65 or slightly larger Roots blowers can generally be selected. The air output of the SR65 model Roots blower is usually around 1.5-2.4 cubic meters per minute, which can drive about 40-60 aeration discs.
2、 Adjust according to specific needs
1. Water depth: If the water level in the pool is deep, it may be necessary to choose a more powerful Roots blower to ensure sufficient oxygenation effect. For example, a Roots blower with a 2.2kw, 3kw, or 4kw motor can be selected, depending on the water depth and the required oxygenation intensity.
2. Oxygenation effect: If higher oxygenation effect is needed, larger caliber Roots blowers such as 80mm or larger caliber models can be considered. At the same time, increasing the number of aeration plates or optimizing their layout can also be considered to improve oxygenation efficiency.
3、 Taking into account other factors comprehensively
1. Energy consumption: The operation of Roots blowers requires electricity consumption, so it is necessary to plan the usage time and power reasonably to save energy costs.
2. Monitoring and Control: It is recommended to equip dissolved oxygen monitoring equipment and determine the time and period for starting up and increasing oxygen based on the pattern of dissolved oxygen changes in the water body.
In summary, for 50 aerators, the SR65 model or slightly larger Roots blower can generally be selected to meet the demand. But the specific choice still needs to be comprehensively considered based on multiple factors such as breeding area, water depth, oxygenation effect, and energy consumption. During the selection process, it is recommended to consult experienced engineers or technicians for further advice and guidance.
