Project Info COMPLETE Project Title

High Efficiency Blower Under 50hp Retrofit

Project Number ET11SCE1040 Organization SCE End-use Process Loads Sector Industrial Project Year(s) 2011 - 2011
Description
The blower power depends upon three variables: flow rate; pressure, and efficiency. The design of an energy efficient blower depends upon two main factors: shape of impeller and shape of blower housing that minimize pressure losses. The conventional blower’s (i.e., incumbent technology) efficiency is typically below 60%, depending upon pressure and flow rate requirements. The new-generation blowers with improved impeller design and the blower housing is about 70% efficient (as high as 79% from limited number of manufacturers). This project will attempt to identify if we can deploy an energy efficient blowers with an improved process design that would save energy.
