The wide range of low pressure technology available offers numerous choices when it comes to efficiently meeting the needs of low pressure applications. For most applications, there are several technologies capable of powering a specific installation. The challenge is to closely examine the application needs and select the right technology to ensure a reliable, stable, and energy efficient air supply. This white paper compares rotary lobe and screw blowers, internal and external compression, and how to properly apply these technologies for designing an energy efficient system.
