High pressure fans and Roots fans each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the quality depends on the specific application scenario and requirements. Here is a comparison and selection suggestion between the two to help you make a choice:

**1、 Comparison between High Pressure Fan (Multi stage Centrifugal) and Roots Fan**
|* * Comparison item * * | * * High pressure fan * * | * Roots blower * * | * * Winner * *|
|------------------|------------------------------|----------------------------|--------------------|
|* * Pressure range * * | * 0.5~10 bar * * (multi-stage high pressure) | * * 0.1~1.5 bar * * (some can reach 2 bar) | High pressure fan|
|* * Flow Range * * | * * High Flow * * (10-1000 m3/min) | * * Medium and Small Flow * * (1-200 m3/min) | High Pressure Fan (High Flow)|
|* * Energy Efficiency * * | High (70-85) | Low (50-70) | High Pressure Fan|
|* * Noise * * | Low (75-85 dB) | High (85-100 dB) | High pressure fan|
|* * Maintenance cost * * | Low (simple structure) | High (gears and bearings are prone to wear) | High pressure fan|
|* * Initial cost * * | Higher | Lower | Roots blower|
|* * Flow stability * * | Flow varies with pressure | * * Flow remains constant * *, unaffected by pressure | Roots blower|
|* * Anti dirt ability * * | Poor (impeller is afraid of dust) | Strong (suitable for dusty gases) | Roots blower|

**2、 Selection suggestion: When to choose which one**
**1. Priority should be given to high-pressure fans (centrifugal)**
-High pressure (>1.5 bar) is required, such as air compressors, boiler blowers, and pneumatic conveying (such as in cement plants).
-* * High flow demand (>50 m3/min) * *: such as aeration in large sewage treatment plants.
-* * Pursuing low noise * *: such as urban sewage treatment and hospital gas supply systems.
-* * Long term operation, focus on energy conservation * *: High pressure fans have higher efficiency and lower long-term electricity bills.
**2. Priority selection of Roots blower**
-Stable flow rate is required, such as oxygenation in aquaculture and gas supply to chemical reactors (flow rate does not vary with pressure).
-* * Medium and low pressure (<1.5 bar) small flow rate (<50 m3/min) * *: such as small aeration tanks and vacuum feeding.
-Media containing dust or moisture: Roots blower structure is more resistant to dirt and less prone to clogging.
-* * Limited budget * *: Roots blowers have lower prices and are suitable for projects with small initial investments.

**3、 Typical application scenarios**
|* * Industry * * | * * Recommended Fan Types * * | * * Reasons * *|
|------------------|----------------------|----------------------------|
|Sewage treatment (large) | High pressure centrifugal fan | High flow rate, efficiency, low noise|
|Sewage treatment (small) | Roots blower | Low cost, stable flow rate|
|Aquaculture | Roots blower | Low pressure stable oxygen supply, moisture resistance|
|Pneumatic conveying (powder) | High pressure centrifugal fan | High pressure, high flow demand|
|Vacuum system | Roots blower | Suitable for medium and low vacuum degrees, simple structure|
|Chemical reaction kettle | Select according to pressure | Centrifugal for high pressure and Roots for low pressure|

**4、 Frequently Asked Questions and Answers**
**Q1: Can the Roots blower achieve high pressure**
-Sure, but the efficiency is very low. A few high-pressure Roots blowers can reach 2 bar, but they have high energy consumption and heat generation. It is generally recommended to use centrifugal blowers instead.
**Q2: Which type of fan is more durable**
-High pressure fans (centrifugal) have a longer lifespan (without mechanical friction), but Roots fans have a simpler structure and are easier to maintain.
**Q3: How to solve the problem of loud noise**
-Roots blower: Install a muffler, choose a three bladed rotor, and use a soundproof cover.
-High pressure fan: It has low noise and can be equipped with noise reduction pipes if necessary.

**5、 Summary**
-High pressure fan is suitable for scenarios with high pressure, high flow rate, high efficiency, and low noise.
-Roots blower is suitable for medium and low pressure requirements that require stable flow, dirt resistance, and low cost.
**Final recommendation * *:
1. First, clarify your * * pressure, flow rate, and medium characteristics * *.
2. Combine * * budget, energy consumption, and maintenance costs * * for comprehensive selection.
3. If there are special requirements (such as explosion-proof and anti-corrosion), customized models are required.
