INVENT has designed an advanced turbo blower and implemented manufacturing techniques that allow every blower to be customized to the unique requirements of each wastewater treatment plant. This ensures the energy consumption and operating range is optimized for the specific process. The result is a dedicated machine operating at peak performance tailored for every application.
The iTURBO®-Blower is a radial compressor in either single or two stage configurations. The compressor is direct driven by a high-speed permanent magnet motor. However, comparisons to currently available blowers stop here.
With over five years of development and operating experience the iTURBO®-Blower incorporates "rigid" cartridge style air cushion bearings, not foils. The result is a dependable bearing without the complexity of active electronic control.
The turbo impellers are customized for the pressure and flow range required by any particular aeration system. Modelled with computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis in addition to test tuning to achieve peak efficiency. The impellers are manufactured using precision five axis CNC machining of 7075-T6 Aluminum Alloy for maximum strength and accuracy.
Motor cooling is accomplished with a proprietary "2 pass" pressurized system for maximum heat transfer. Waste heat can either be discharged to the atmosphere or used for heat recovery. As the system is independent, a conditioned air source can be used in extreme environments where ambient temperatures exceed 50 °C.
