The function and principle of Roots blower
As a widely used equipment in the industrial field, the role and principle of Roots blower are of great significance for users to choose suitable equipment. Understanding the function and principle of Roots blower is helpful for better application and maintenance of this equipment.
1. Basic concept of Roots blower
Roots blower is a type of positive displacement fan that rotates inside the casing through two interlocked rotors, sucking in gas from the inlet and compressing it before discharging it. Due to its simple structure and stable operation, Roots blowers have been widely used in fields such as sewage treatment, pneumatic conveying, and aquaculture.
2. The function of Roots blower
Roots blowers have a wide range of applications in various fields, mainly including the following aspects:
2.1 Provide high-pressure gas
Roots blowers provide high-pressure gas as a power source by compressing gas, and are widely used in fields such as pneumatic conveying, sewage treatment, and aquaculture.
2.2 Promoting Gas Flow
Roots blower is widely used in ventilation, exhaust, gas circulation and other fields by providing high-pressure gas to promote the flow of gas in pipelines or equipment.
2.3 Improve production efficiency
Roots blowers improve production efficiency by providing stable high-pressure gas and are widely used in industries such as chemical, food, and environmental protection.
3. Working principle of Roots blower
The working principle of Roots blower is based on volumetric compression, which rotates inside the casing through two interlocked rotors, sucking in gas from the inlet and compressing it before discharging it. The specific work process is as follows:
3.1 Inhalation process
When the rotor rotates, the gas at the inlet is sucked into the space between the rotor and the casing, and as the rotor rotates, the gas is gradually compressed.
3.2 Compression process
As the rotor continues to rotate, the gas is compressed and the pressure gradually increases. When the gas is compressed to a certain degree, the exhaust port opens and the gas is discharged.
3.3 Exhaust process
The compressed gas is discharged through the exhaust port and enters the pipeline or equipment to complete the entire working process.
4. Application of Roots blower
Roots blowers have a wide range of applications in various fields, mainly including the following aspects:
4.1 Sewage treatment
In the sewage treatment process, Roots blowers are used in aeration tanks to provide oxygen to promote the growth of microorganisms and the decomposition of organic matter.
4.2 Pneumatic conveying
Roots blower is used in pneumatic conveying systems to transport powdered or granular materials through pipelines to designated locations.
4.3 Aquaculture
In aquaculture, Roots blowers are used for oxygenation, increasing the oxygen content in water and promoting the growth of aquatic animals.
4.4 Chemical production
In chemical production, Roots blowers are used to operate equipment such as reaction vessels and dryers, providing high-pressure gas.
5. Conclusion
Roots blowers are widely used in fields such as sewage treatment, pneumatic conveying, aquaculture, and chemical production by providing high-pressure gas to promote gas flow and improve production efficiency. Its working principle is based on volumetric compression, which sucks in, compresses, and discharges gas through the rotation of the rotor. Understanding the function and principle of Roots blower is helpful for better application and maintenance of this equipment.
