Based on your requirements for a High-Temperature Resistant Regeneration Blower with Customizable Material and Zero Leakage for the Chemical Industry, you are likely describing a specialized Side Channel Blower (also known as a Regenerative Blower) that has been heavily modified or a Claw/Vacuum Pump designed for harsh environments.
Standard regenerative blowers often fail in chemical applications due to temperature limits (usually 100-160°C) and lack of gas-tight seals.
Here is a breakdown of the specifications, design considerations, and recommended product types that meet your criteria.
Core Technology: Zero Leakage Design
To achieve "Zero Leakage" in a chemical setting (handling VOCs, corrosive gases, or explosive mixtures), the blower must be hermetically sealed. Standard shaft seals (lip seals or mechanical seals) cannot guarantee zero leakage over time.
Required Modification:
- Canned Motor (Magnetic Drive): The motor is encapsulated within a pressure-tight canister. The rotor is driven by electromagnetic force through a containment shell. This eliminates the need for a dynamic shaft seal.
- Double Mechanical Seals with Buffer Gas: If magnetic drive is not feasible, a dual mechanical seal system with a nitrogen (or compatible inert gas) buffer at a higher pressure than the process gas ensures no leakage to the atmosphere.
High-Temperature Resistance (>200°C / 400°F)
Standard blowers use cast aluminum impellers and standard bearings. For chemical high-temp:
- Housing: Cast Stainless Steel (SS316/SS316L) or Hastelloy (C-276). Aluminum melts or softens at high temps.
- Impeller: SS316L or Duplex Stainless Steel (for high temp strength and corrosion resistance).
- Bearing System: High-temperature grease (e.g., Krytox) or oil mist lubrication. Extended cooling fins on the bearing housing.
- Motor: Class H insulation (180°C+) or higher. External cooling fan mandatory.
Customizable Material (Chemical Compatibility)
The materials of construction must be matched to the specific chemical (e.g., HCl, Cl2, H2S, solvents).
| Component | Standard Material | Chemical Grade Upgrade |
|---|---|---|
| Casing | Cast Aluminum | SS316L, Hastelloy C-22, Titanium |
| Impeller | Aluminum / Cast Iron | SS316L, Duplex 2205, PTFE Coated |
| Shaft | Carbon Steel | SS316, Inconel 625 |
| Seals | NBR (Buna-N) | FKM (Viton), EPDM, Kalrez (FFKM) |
| O-Rings | NBR | PTFE Encapsulated, Chemraz |
Recommended Product Types for the Chemical Industry
Option A: High-Temp Magnetic Drive Side Channel Blower (Best for Zero Leakage)
- Manufacturer Examples: FPZ (Italy), Rietschle Thomas (Germany), custom built by Elmo Rietschle or Busch.
- Model: SCL-K Series (Stainless Steel, Canned Motor).
- Temp Range: Up to 250°C (482°F) with correct materials and cooling.
- Application: Transfer of hot corrosive gases, vacuum drying of chemicals.
Option B: High-Temp Claw Blower (Dry Running, Oil-Free)
- Manufacturer Examples: Busch (Mink Series), Elmo Rietschle (V-DW Series).
- Why? Claw blowers have no contact between rotors (timing gears). They can handle high temp and aggressive gases if made from cast iron or stainless.
- Sealing: Requires double mechanical seals with gas purge for zero leakage.
- Temp: Up to 160°C continuous (can go to 200°C with water-cooled heads).
Option C: Customized ATEX Regenerative Blower
If the chemical process involves explosive gases, the blower must be ATEX / IECEx certified.
- Construction: Non-sparking materials (stainless steel impeller vs. aluminum housing).
- Motor: Explosion-proof (Ex d / Ex e).
- Gaskets: Conductive to ground static electricity.
Summary of Technical Specifications (Custom Blower)
| Specification | Requirement for your query |
|---|---|
| Flow Rate | 5 – 200 m³/hr (typical for chemical dosing) |
| Pressure | Up to 800 mbar (11.6 psi) |
| Vacuum | Up to 600 mbar (17.7 inHg) |
| Temperature | 150°C to 250°C (Requires SS316L casing) |
| Leakage | < 1 x 10⁻⁶ mbar l/s (Helium leakage test) |
| Materials | Hastelloy C22, SS316L, PTFE coatings |
| Seal Type | Canned Motor (Magnetic Drive) |
Next Steps: How to Source This
You cannot buy this "off the shelf" from a catalog. You must contact a manufacturer like FPZ (Italy), Atlantic Blowers (USA), or Busch Vacuum and ask for a "Chemical Process Side Channel Blower, Canned Motor, High Temp, Custom Materials."
Key questions to ask the supplier:
- "Can the blower be supplied with a magnetic coupling for zero leakage?"
- "What is the maximum continuous temperature with SS316L housing?"
- "Do you offer Kalrez or FKM O-rings?"
- "Can the impeller be coated with PFA (Perfluoroalkoxy) for chemical resistance?"
If you provide the specific gas (e.g., "Chlorine gas at 180°C") and required flow/pressure, I can help refine the material selection (e.g., whether Hastelloy is needed vs. SS316L).
