A blower is a mechanical device designed to move air or gas. It works by creating a pressure difference, which allows it to push air through ducts or vents. Blowers are commonly used in various applications, including heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems, as well as in industrial processes. There are different types of blowers, such as centrifugal blowers and positive displacement blowers. Centrifugal blowers use a rotating impeller to increase air velocity, while positive displacement blowers trap a fixed volume of air and force it out. Both types are essential for maintaining airflow in many environments.
