Air Amplifiers – Air Pressure or Air Flow Volume

When talking about Air Amplifiers there are two (2) kinds when considering what best fits your needs. An amplifier that is used to increase pressure above your compressor’s ability are also known as air boosters. These boosters are sometimes needed for specific processes which demand much higher pressures. Amplifiers that increases the volume flow rate of your compressed air or nitrogen are the type of amplifier that EXAIR manufactures. 

EXAIR’s Super Air Amplifiers will increase the volume of air on to a target or being circulated in an environment. EXAIR’s Air Amplifiers use the Coanda effect pulling in large volumes of surrounding air to produce high volume, high velocity outlet flows up to 25 times their consumption rate.

Air Amplifiers have no moving parts and are basically maintenance free. EXAIR’s amplifiers operate on a source of clean compressed air and do not use electricity. The outlet flows are easily adjusted by opening or closing the air gap. By regulating the supply pressure you can tune in your outlet flow to meet your specific needs. Vacuum and discharge ends of the Air Amplifier can be ducted, making them ideal for drawing fresh air from another area or for moving smoke and fumes away.

Super Air Amplifier Family

EXAIR has 5 standard sized Air Amplifiers ranging from 3/4″ (19mm) to 8″ (203mm) plus an Adjustable Air Amplifier . If you have a specific application EXAIR can manufacture Air Amplifiers to fit your application. If you have a project and think EXAIR’s Air Amplifier or any of our Intelligent Compressed Air Products please contact me or any of our qualified Application Engineers to discuss your project.
