Side channel blowers consist of a ring-shaped, split housing in which a bladed impeller rotates. The blades, which pass close to the inlet, suck the gaseous medium to be compressed into the side channel blower. The blades accelerate the gas forward and outward. The ring-shaped housing deflects the gas and returns it to the base of the following blades. Each of these spiral cycles, which occurs many times during one revolution of the impeller, causes the dynamic pressure increase of the gas. At the end of the rotation, the blades push the compressed gas pulsation-free through a narrowed static chamber to the outlet opening. If two channels or impellers are connected in parallel in one unit (RIC TS series), the air volume is as high as possible. If two ducts or impellers are connected in series, a two-stage compression (RIC MD series) is achieved for the highest possible positive or negative pressure.
The performance and economy of the side channel blowers is guaranteed by first-class die-cast aluminium quality, careful machining of the impeller and its blades, precisely matched tolerances and first-class sealing. Each unit is subjected to a thorough test run before delivery.
