What Are Adjustable Air Amplifiers?
Back to Top
Adjustable Air Amplifiers have good amplification ratios and are very easy to use. The air gap is infinitely adjustable which regulates the consumption and outlet flow from a "breeze" to a "blast". They are available in aluminum or in stainless steel for food service, higher temperatures (400°F/204°C), and corrosive applications. High Temperature Stainless Steel Air Amplifiers for temperatures up to 700°F (374°C) are available. Please contact your distributor.
Force and flow for the Adjustable Air Amplifier is changed by turning the exhaust end (with the knurled ring loose) to open or close the continuous air gap. When desired performance is obtained, the knurled ring can be tightened to lock the flow at that setting. In most cases,
a .002" to .004" (.05mm to .10mm) air gap is ideal.

How to Determine Adjustable Air Amplifier Total Ouput Flow And Air Consumption
Total Airflow: From the performance curves (above), determine total output flow for any Adjustable Air Amplifier at any pressure.
Example: A Model 6031 at 60 PSIG (4.1 BAR) supply air pressure has a total output flow of 165 SCFM (4672 SLPM).
Air Consumption: Divide total output flow by the amplification ratio (shown in the table above) to determine air consumption for any Adjustable Air Amplifier at any air pressure.
In the example above, the Model 6031 at 60 PSIG (4.1 BAR) supply air pressure has a total output flow of 165 SCFM (4672 SLPM). Dviding this total flow by its amplification ratio of 16 gives an air consumption of 10.3 SCFM (292 SLPM).

Electronic Flow Control (EFC)
EXAIR's EFC is an electronic flow control that dramatically reduces compressed air costs by turning off the compressed air when no part is present. This minimizes compressed air use for blow off, drying, cooling, conveying and static elimination operations. The EFC combines a photoelectric sensor with a timing control that limits compressed air use by turning it off when no part is present. Visit the EFC page for more information.
