Detailed analysis of the formula for calculating the air volume of Roots blower

The air volume of a Roots blower is one of the key parameters that users need to pay attention to when selecting and using a blower. This article will provide a detailed analysis of the calculation formula and its application for the air volume of Roots blowers, to help users better understand and calculate.
1. Basic concept of Roots blower air volume
The air volume of a Roots blower refers to the volume of gas transported by the blower per unit time, usually expressed in cubic meters per minute (m3/min) or cubic meters per hour (m3/h).
2. Calculation formula for air volume of Roots blower
The formula for calculating the air volume of a Roots blower is:
\[ Q = \frac{V \times n \times \eta}{60} \]
Among them:
-(Q) is the air volume (m3/min);
-(V) is the volume of gas transported by the fan per revolution (m3/r);
-(n) is the rotational speed of the fan (r/min);
-\ (\ eta \) is the volumetric efficiency of the fan (usually 0.8-0.95).
3. Analysis of various parameters in the formula
-The volume of gas transported per revolution (V) depends on the impeller design and size of the fan.
-* * Speed (n) * *: The higher the speed of the fan, the larger the air volume is usually.
-* * Volumetric efficiency (η) * *: represents the ratio of the actual gas volume transported by the fan to the theoretical gas volume transported.
4. Practical application cases of air volume calculation
Taking a Roots blower as an example, it delivers a gas volume of 0.1 m3/r per revolution, with a speed of 1450 r/min and a volumetric efficiency of 0.9. Calculate according to the formula:
\[ Q = \frac{0.1 \times 1450 \times 0.9}{60} = 2.175 \, \text{m3/min} \]
5. Precautions for Air Volume Calculation
-Parameter accuracy: Ensure the accuracy of all parameters in the formula, especially the speed and volumetric efficiency.
-Unit uniformity: During the calculation process, ensure that the units of each parameter are consistent to avoid calculation errors.
-* * Actual working conditions * *: Consider the impact of actual working conditions on air volume, such as temperature, humidity, etc.
6. Optimization suggestions for air volume calculation
-* * Increase rate * *: By optimizing fan design and maintenance, improve volumetric efficiency and increase air volume.
-* * Adjust speed * *: Adjust the fan speed according to the demand to optimize the air output.
