What are the High Temperature Blower

Designing the high temperature blowers requires a lot of expertise in both material selection, design and assembly. These blowers are designed specifically to be used in hostile environments. That is, the temperature is above the normal.

They are used in a number of industrial applications where the air stream has a temperature of over 1000ᵒF.  The blowers are used in the following key applications:

1. Re-circulate air being used in industrial applications such as in furnaces dryers or kilns. These regions are associated with very high temperatures.
2. To drive exhaust fumes and gases from various industrial processes
3. Supply air in both drying and heating systems.

The high temperature blowers can be designed for either general or specific applications. In some situations, this equipment can be designed for the following specific processes: annealing, curing, tempering and industrial ovens, just to mention a few. To achieve such standards, the manufacturer should be able to customize the designs to suit a given standard. Some of the ley features include:

The temperature range; the end user should specify the temperature range.  This will determine the type of materials required to manufacture the blower. For instance, a temperature range between 413° and 525° C will require the use of higher yield strength steel. On the other hand, a temperature range between 205° and 316° C will only require certain modifications on the overall design and material choice. That is, the latter will require that the blower be incorporated with a heat slinger, high temperature shaft seal, slinger guard and gaskets, among other modifications.

The configuration process; these configurations are mainly designed to ensure that a high temperature blower operates optimally. They are designed with: high temperature door gasket, insulated housing, high temperature hub, copper extended tube lines and high temperature shafts.

All these aspects make the process even more challenging to the end user. It is therefore important to seek help from high temperature blower specialist.
