 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 an Application Engineer.
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
Output 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 the total output flow by the amplification
ratio (shown in the chart 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 ouput flow of 165 SCFM (4672 SLPM).
Dividing this total output flow by its amplification ratio
of 16 gives an air consumption of 10.3 SCFM (292 SLPM).
