Turbine Air Motor Design
Erik hallmann dr ing.
Turbine air motor design. Operation of a turbine air motor involves a nozzle that directs and meters air to a turbine wheel or rotor. The p1v s atex certified stainless steel air motor is available in seven different sizes and power ratings of 20 to 1200 watts and speeds from 5 to 24 000 rpm. It is geared for high torque applications and capable of maintaining stable speed under load. Founded in 1999 tas is the leading global company focused on highly efficient factory built packaged modular solutions in the power generation and industrial cooling industry.
Continuous flow machines optimally utilize the energy of the compressed air. Deprag schulz gmbh u. Compact and lightweight an air motor weighs only 1 4 as much as an electric motor. Tas designs develop manufactures installs and services highly engineered solutions that add customer value and reduce cost.
Introducing the air motor the air motor is one of the toughest and most versatile power units available to the design engineer. Roland sands design s goal is not just to carry all of the premium brand leather and textile apparel but also provide the best in wheels disc brakes intake air cleaners grips pegs lighting handlebars bar risers engine covers and more for harley davidson indian bmw triumph yamaha and whatever you can dream up. Higher gear ratios from 9 1 through 20 1 provide high stall torque and versatility for a variety of engines. A pneumatic motor air motor or compressed air engine is a type of motor which does mechanical work by expanding compressed air pneumatic motors generally convert the compressed air energy to mechanical work through either linear or rotary motion.
With gearboxes in planetary helical or worm drives. 49 9621 371 0 fax 49 9621 371 120 e mail. Linear motion can come from either a diaphragm or piston actuator while rotary motion is supplied by either a vane type air motor piston air. Therefore the air requirement of a turbine motor is 1 3rd less when compared to an pneumatic vanemotor.
The atlas copco tzb turbine air motor has a compact design with two mounting options for easy installation as standard. The turbine does not require any contact seals. Therefore the operation of the turbine with non lubricated compressed air is totally free from wear. What i think is really awesome is that it can be made larger and theoretically more powerful by simply cutting and bolting in more layers for air input more turbine pieces and making more exhaust holes in the exhaust housing.
Turbine horsepower is easily changed by limiting air flow through the motor. The features and characteristics of the air motor make it the natural choice of power for industrial applications present and future. Headquartered in houston texas usa tas packages products in two iso 9001 certified.
