Can a blower be used as a smoke machine?

The smoke can be sucked away, but the efficiency is not as good as that of the range hood because the outlet pressure of the blower is greater than that of the range hood.

Continuing from what was said above: The inlet pressure of the smoke machine is smaller than that of the blower, which means that the blower will be very ineffective for smoking. No one seems to be doing this!

Haha, this question is indeed strange haha.

Most of the smoke, dust and waste gas generated in factory production are removed by centrifugal blowers. However, in actual production, they may not be called blowers but induced draft fans or exhaust fans. They should belong to the same category and are called blowers. However, there are differences in the selection. The model and impeller characteristics of the blower are mainly selected based on the nature of the work, gas discharge pressure, and gas volume.

I don’t agree with everyone’s point of view. The advantage of the blower is that it can overcome relatively large resistance, and there are also vacuum-type blowers. (Pneumatic conveying itself has positive pressure conveying and negative pressure suction.) In our factory, the air inlet of the blower is connected to the system for material suction. Of course, a dust collector is required at the inlet of the blower, otherwise the material will block the blower, like the original poster. As mentioned, if the resistance of the system used for smoking is very large (above 20,000pa), it is recommended to use a blower. However, the disadvantage of the blower is that the air volume is relatively small, so it depends on the conditions of the system you want to smoke. If the pipe network is relatively long and there are many smoking points but the volume is not large, it is recommended to use a blower (vacuum type). If a large air volume is required, then naturally the pipe network must be thickened to reduce the pipe network resistance.

Better than range hood\\\\\\\\\\

Yes!!! It's the same thing, the principles are the same. There are different professions and specializations.

If you look at the principle of a range hood, you will find that its principle is basically the same as that of a blower. When extracting the same amount of range hood, the blower consumes more electricity than a professional range hood. Because the blower is not a professional range hood, there are also many inconveniences in use.

What the fifth floor said is right. Induced draft fans are named according to their specific uses. In fact, they are the same thing. The key lies in the difference in total air pressure and air volume, and the different temperatures used. If these parameters of the blower meet the requirements of an induced draft fan, it can be used as an induced draft fan.

The principle is the same, but LZ raised the question whether it is used in a factory or where it is used, and the model selection also has a lot to do with it. The question is too general. No matter what the purpose is, there must be certain operating conditions to choose the appropriate equipment, or replace the equipment. This is just like agricultural tricycles and large trucks. They both burn diesel, but it depends on how much stuff you pull. You usually pull 180 kilograms of stuff. Do you think a large truck can pull it? Yes! ! But is it suitable? No. This question is a truth. :L This post was last edited by safetyvalve on 2008-1-25 11:08 ]

Thank you for your participation. It seems that most of them think it can be used.

You have to be optimistic about their respective working curves. When the two curves overlap, it will be fine. If they do not overlap, the equipment may be easily damaged!
