Standard Air Amplifier for rugged applications

Product catalog summary
Overview of Air Amplifiers
Air amplifiers are devices used for blowoff, cleaning, cooling, drying, venting, and exhausting without any moving parts. They are compact, lightweight, and portable, driven by air rather than electricity, making them safe and maintenance-free. These amplifiers replace traditional fans and offer high airflow amplification with instant on-off capabilities, eliminating explosion hazards.
Types of Air Amplifiers
  • Adjustable Air Amplifiers: Made from anodized aluminum or stainless steel, suitable for high-temperature or food applications. They allow users to set and lock the gap, available in three sizes.
  • Standard "Fixed" Air Amplifiers: Constructed from zinc die-cast, ideal for rough environments. The gap can be adjusted using shims, available in five sizes.
Features and Benefits
Air amplifiers utilize the "Coanda effect" to entrain surrounding air, amplifying airflow up to 17 times with reduced noise levels. They are maintenance-free, with easily controlled output flow and vacuum by adjusting the air gap or inlet pressure. They are suitable for various applications, including conveying fumes, smoke, and lightweight materials.
Special Designs
Custom designs are available to meet specific customer requirements, including specially treated stainless steel units for medical applications and threaded adjustable versions for machine builders.
Performance and Specifications
Models vary in amplification ratios and sizes, with specific models like AM10, AM20, AM40, AM75, and AM125 offering different amplification ratios ranging from 6.5:1 to 16:1. Graphs illustrate pressure vs. air flow, air consumption, and velocity for each model, providing detailed performance insights.
Applications and Accessories
Air amplifiers are used in various industrial applications, such as cooling castings and venting fumes. Accessories include mounting and holding systems for flexible positioning, and additional components like filters and regulators are available for enhanced functionality.
Specifications: The air amplifiers come in various models, including 40001, 40002, and 40003, with amplification ratios of 15:1, 16:1, and 17:1 respectively. They are available in both anodized aluminum and stainless steel for different applications, including corrosive and high-temperature environments.
Operational Principle: The amplifiers work by inducing a large volume of surrounding air into the device using a small amount of compressed air. This air enters through an annular chamber and is throttled through a nozzle, creating a vacuum that draws in additional air, thus amplifying the airflow.
Adjustability: The gap of the air amplifiers is adjustable, typically set to 0.002 inches (0.05 mm) but can be modified for greater air force. Some models feature gauged settings for precise control.
Performance Charts: The document includes various performance charts showing the relationship between pressure, air consumption, airflow, and velocity for different models. These charts help in understanding the efficiency and output of each model under varying conditions.
Applications: The air amplifiers are used in various industrial applications such as cooling hot spots, venting dust, and enhancing blow-off force. They are also used in spray booths for drying and cooling paint surfaces.
Additional Features: Some models come with additional features like filters with auto drain and regulators with gauges for enhanced functionality.

Standard Air Amplifier for rugged applications-1

Blowoff, clean, cool and dry as well as vent and exhaust with no moving parts WHAT ARE THEY - REASONS TO USE Air Amplifiers or “Air Movers” are a simple, inexpensive device with virtually no maintenance that can convey fumes, smoke, light weight materials, and move a high volume of air for cooling, blowoff and drying applications. They use the “coanda effect” which entrains a large amount of surrounding air using only a small amount of compressed air. The effect is an amplification of up to 17 times the airflow or more (depending on the size) with reduced noise levels. Using only compressed air, the output flow and vacuum is easily controlled by adjusting or opening the air gap and/or inlet pressure. Either end of the amplifier may be ducted to address all kinds of applications from bringing in fresh air into an area to removing nasty fumes.

STANDARD AIR AMPLIFIER - HOW IT WORKS: A A small amount of compressed air enters the annular chamber at point (A). That is then throttled through a small ring nozzle at high velocity and into the inside of the Amplifier over a “coanda” profile. The compressed air stream clings to the “coanda” profile as it enters the inside STANDERD AIR AMPLIFIER walls of the amplifier and thereby creating a vacuum that induces the outside air at point (B).
