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. Be wary of extremely high unrealistic or unsubstantiated amplification ratios claimed by some companies. 4parts. No moving 4 Compact design, simple, lightweight and portable. 4 not electricity. Driven by air 4 used for blowoff, cleaning, drying, cooling Replaces fans and conveying. 4 amplification. High airflow 4 no electricity or explosion hazard. Instant on-off, AIR AMPLIFIER BENEFITS: S TA N D A R D “ F I X E D ” A I R AMPLIFIER: made of zinc die cast system is solid and perform as well or better than many supposedly patented designs when used in similar applications. The gap can be adjusted by adding shims. Five sizes are available. ADJUSTABLE AIR AMPLIFIER: made of anodized aluminum or stainless steel for high temperature or food applications. The customer can set the gap and lock it in place using a lock ring. Three sizes are available. SPECIAL DESIGNS 4in difficult environments than competitive Longer life models. 4 Lower compressed air consumption than ejectors and venturi. 4 free with output easily controlled, safe to Maintenance use. AIR AMPLIFIER ADVANTAGES OVER FANS: 4 Compact design, simple, lightweight and portable. 4 not electricity for safety. Driven by air, 4parts hence safer and maintenance free. No moving 4 be dusted for light conveying applications. Each end can SELECTION The fixed unit being made of heavy duty zinc die cast is more ideal in rough environments where corrosion is not an issue. The aluminum Adjustable Air Amplifiers are light-weight and flexible because of being adjustable. Stainless steel adjustable units are meant for corrosive environments and for food/pharmaceutical applications. Special designs are available to meet unique customer specifications. Specially treated stainless steel units have been made for a specific medical application and threaded adjustable versions have been made for a machine builder. Different materials can be provided as well as special sizes to fit any specific application. the Air Amplifiers. Fully flexible positioning.

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). Converting the AMPLIFIERS-RATIOS (APPROX.) Model AM10: 6.5:1 pressure into amplified airflow. The amplified airflow leaves at the exit at point (C)....
