What happens if you prolong heating while blowing compressed

Solution

The problem is keeping it within the safe range. If you aren’t diligent about maintaining proper air flow through your product, heat can build up inside to temperatures far hotter than the ambient temperature of your room. Even if you feel comfortable, your product components might not be.

Symptoms of overheating include very hot air coming out of the outlets, an unusually hot base OF THE PRODUCT.

If your product doesn\'t have a low enough setting for automatic shutoff due to overheating, the components inside may be damaged.

Regardless of the application, several guidelines should be applied to compressed air being used for open blow-off: 1) use anything else whenever possible;

2) use low pressure air from a blower — the lower the pressure the lower the cost;

3) regulate the flow to the lowest effective pressure — know the pressure

4) use a venturi nozzle or air inducer to reduce compressed air used; and

5) shut-off blow-off air (automatically) when not needed for production.

Air amplifiers, or inducers, will reduce compressed air flow, where a mechanical method, such as a wiper, cannot replace blow-off. Air amplifiers use “venturi” action to pull in ambient air and mix it directly into the compressed air stream. The ratio of ambient air drawn in can be substantial.
