Features and Benefits

The Neuros Turbo Blower is  a ``Plug and Play`` product that offers high-efficiency in a compact size made possible by combining
the latest design technologies of Aeronautic Compressor, Bump Foil Air Bearing and High Speed Permanent Magnet Synchronous
Motors (PMSM) with built in Variable Speed Drive and Programmable Logic Controller. Neuros Turbo Blowers can attain flow rates up
to 8500 CFM and a discharge pressure up to 42 PSIG with motor horsepower range from 30 to 300 HP.  We also offer the “Dual Core” models NX400 (400 HP) and NX600 (600 HP) models that combine two cores within the same enclosure unit to provide flow rates range between 3000 and 17,000 SCFM while maintaining a small footprint compared to conventional technologies with similar flow rates.

1. Energy Efficiency, operating cost savings

• The Neuros Turbo Blower is the most efficient in it’s class through the use of advanced technologies in aerodynamics, high speed permanent magnet motors and Bump-Foil air bearings along with intelligent use of drive & control technologies.
• Operating cost savings up to 40% are possible when compared to conventional blower.

2. Low Noise, Low Vibration

• Neuros Turbo Blower enclosure controls sound propagation and reduces noise levels to 80 dBA.
• Non-contact air bearing produces very low vibration thereby eliminates need for heavy foundations.
• Patent technology of noise reduction.

3. Reliable, Easy to Install, Outdoor Application

• Extensive testing proved out the product reliability in hot and cold environments.
• Vibration and start stop testing proved air bearing endurance.
• Impeller accelerated spin tests proved high cycle fatigue life.
• Blower packages are significantly more compact than conventional products.
• “Plug and Play” product is very simple to install and start.
• Outdoor installation package is possible under weather shelter.

4. Maintenance

• Maintenance limited to periodic  cleaning or replacing of inlet air filter, as required.
• Maintenance parameters are available on user-friendly blower touch-screen and through plant control system.

5. High Efficiency Impeller Design and Manufacturing

• Ten years of experience designing impellers in aerospace industry.
• High efficiency impeller designed with in-house software and 3-D computational fluid dynamics analysis.
• Solid forging impeller machined with 5-axis machining for higher integrity and higher fatigue life.
• Larger diameter and precise impeller shape combined with optimal speed result in higher efficiency.

6. Oil-free, Non-contact Air Bearing

• Bump-Foil, 3rd generation design.
• High load coefficient journal and thrust air bearings.
• No lubricating oil or grease required.
• Eliminates associated maintenance.
• Non-contact produces less noise and vibration during operation.
• Proved numerous start-stop capability, endurance testing exceeded 25,000 start stop
  • equivalent to more than twenty years life time in typical operation.
• Patent (Air Foil Bearing): No. 10-0604132.

7. Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(PMSM)

• Very High Efficiency and high power factor throughout operating speed.
  • Maintains high efficiency and power factor in partial load conditions.
• Driven by sinusoidal algorithm (PWM) lowers motor rotor temperature and minimizes the cooling requirements.
• Most suitable motor technology in terms of speed control.

8. Cooling

• Blower core and control section are cooled with process air.
  • No heat rejection to blower room, eliminates HVAC
  • No external cooling required
• Integrated glycol internal cooling system on large models for higher durability in extreme hot weather.
  • No external water supply required.
• No auxiliary exhaust systems required
  • Eliminates additional power consumption
• Patent (Efficient Motor Cooling): No. 10-0572849

9. Separated Enclosure Option

• The control section can be separated and located up to 600 feet away from mechanical section that contains blower core.
  • Especially useful for high ambient temperature or toxic gas environments.

10. Control, Monitoring, Diagnostics

• Offer complete Plant Aeration System Control:
  • Master Control Panel, selection of aeration components.
  • Network and process and instrumentation diagrams.
• Blower Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) integrated to operate in Automatic and Local modes.
  • constant pressure, constant flow, constant speed or DO control options.
• PLC options are provided to match plant requirements.
  • Options: Allen Bradley, CIMON, Siemens, GE and Schneider.
  • Communication protocols include Ethernet, Profibus, Modbus and hard wiring.
  • User friendly touch-screen for control, monitoring and diagnostics.
