Principle, advantages and disadvantages of Roots blower

Roots blower is a kind of mechanical equipment widely used in industrial production, mainly used to transport gas, air, dust and other substances.

This paper will introduce the principle, advantages and disadvantages and application fields of Roots blower.

1、 Principle of Roots blower

Roots blower takes roots gear as, and generates air flow through the rotation of roots gear.

Roots gear is composed of two meshing gears whose axes are parallel to each other but in opposite directions.

When the gear rotates, the slot on the gear will be separated from the air between the roots gear, thus forming an air chamber.

When the roots gear rotates, the volume of the air chamber will change constantly, thus forming the air flow.

2、 Advantages and disadvantages of Roots blower

1. Advantages

(1) Stability: Roots blower has high stability and reliability due to the principle of Roots gear.

(2) High efficiency: Roots blower has low speed, so it has high efficiency and low noise.

(3) Simple operation: the operation of Roots blower is very simple, just follow the steps in the instruction manual.

(4) Wide scope of application: Roots blower can work under low pressure, so its scope of application is very wide.

2. Disadvantages

(1) Large volume: Roots gear is required for Roots blower, so the volume is relatively large.

(2) High price: Roots blower is relatively expensive and not suitable for small enterprises.

3、 Application field of Roots blower

Roots blower is applicable to many occasions, such as:

(1) Water treatment: Roots blower can be used for water treatment, such as water supply, sewage treatment, etc.

(2) Dust treatment: Roots blower can be used for dust treatment, such as powder conveying, dust collection, etc.

(3) Metallurgical industry: Roots blower can be used for sintering, smelting, etc. in the metallurgical industry.

(4) Pharmaceutical industry: Roots blower can be used for pneumatic conveying and drying in pharmaceutical industry.

In a word, Roots blower is a very important mechanical equipment with good stability, high efficiency and wide application range.
