Product Configuration – Nautilair Family

Posted by Orders Optimal on

Application Information Nautilair variable speed brushless DC blowers have been engineered to deliver a measured air/fuel mixture in gas-fired burner systems for optimized combustion and reduced nitrous oxide and carbon monoxide emissions. Mechanical Characteristics Nautilair blowers are designed for combustion applications and are typically mounted directly to the inlet of the burner. The fan housings are sealed to allow for the combustion gas and air to mix inside the blower. Fans have been designed to optimize air/gas mixtures and provide high efficiency combustion. Their design uses an offset motor that allows for higher temperatures and condensation in the fan housing...

Comparing Regenerative & Centrifugal Blowers

Posted by Optimal Tech on

What is a Regenerative Blower? A regenerative blower has impeller blades passing the inlet port to draw air or other gases into the blower. The impeller blades then, by centrifugal action, accelerates the air outward and forward. Here the regenerative principle takes effect as the air is turned back by the annular shaped  housing to the base of the following blades where  it is again hurled outward. Each regeneration  imparts more pressure to the air. When the air reaches the stripper section at the outlet (the stripper is the part of the blower Located between the inlet and the outlet...
