The new EP10AH blower from Air Control Industries will handle inlet
temperatures of up to 180oC without any significant rise in the
temperature of its hybrid ceramic bearings. This is achieved by a heat
dissipation 'spinner' disc, located in a vented housing between the
blower unit and impeller, which avoids the need for water cooling and all
the associated supply/drainage problems. The blowers come in 5.5, 7.5, 11
and 15kW models and can deliver up to 1,200cfm at speeds of up to
20,000rpm.
