How Air Amplifiers Work |
|
![]() |
|
Compressed air flows through the air inlet (1) into an annular chamber (2). It is then throttled through a small ring nozzle (3) at high velocity. This primary airstream adheres to the Coanda profile (4), which directs it toward the outlet. A low pressure area is created at the center (5), inducing a high volume flow of surrounding air into the primary airstream. The combined flow of primary and surrounding air exhausts from the Air Amplifier in a high volume, high velocity flow. |

Special Air Amplifiers
![Special High Temperature Air Amplifier Model 121021](/media/wysiwyg/store_images/salapp4.jpg)
EXAIR will manufacture special Air Amplifiers suited to your specific application requirements. The Model 121021 High Temperature Air Amplifier was developed for moving hot air to surfaces requiring uniform heating while in a furnace or oven. Modeled after our Super Air Amplifier, the High Temperature Air Amplifier is the most efficient for pushing high volumes of hot air to points that typically remain cool. This special design is rated for environments up to 700°F (374°C) and its surface is protected from heat stress by a mil-spec. coating process (developed for the aircraft industry), allowing easy disassembly for changing shims or cleaning.
![Special Flanged Air Amplifier](/media/wysiwyg/store_images/salspec4.jpg)
Another stainless steel version for flange mounting was developed as a fan back-up for exhausting flue gases from a furnace. In the event of a power failure, this special Air Amplifier can quickly evacuate the fumes that could be harmful to workers close by.
![Special Adjustable Air Amplifier with PTFE plug](/media/wysiwyg/store_images/salspec1.jpg)
A PTFE plug was used with a stainless steel Adjustable Air Amplifier to help pull a sticky material through a process and prevent the material from depositing on the Air Amplifier. EXAIR's Intelligent Compressed Air® products can be manufactured to your special requirements.
If you have special requirements, please contact an Application Engineer to discuss it.
How to Determine Total Output Flow for an Adjustable Air Amplifier |
|||||
![]() |
|||||
Total Airflow: From the performance curves (above), determine total output flow for any Adjustable Air Amplifier at any pressure. Example: A Model 6031 at 60 PSIG (4.1 BAR) supply air pressure has a total output flow of 165 SCFM (4,672 SLPM). Air Consumption: Divide total output flow by the amplification ratio to determine air consumption for any Adjustable Air Amplifier at any air pressure. In the example above, the Model 6031 at 60 PSIG (4.1 BAR) supply air pressure has a total output flow of 165 SCFM (4,672 SLPM). Dividing this total output flow by its amplification ratio of 16 gives an air consumption of 10.3 SCFM (292 SLPM). |
