Elmo Rietschle 2BH1610-7HH16 Overview
The Elmo Rietschle 2BH1610-7HH16 forms part of the established G-BH1 range of side channel blowers, also commonly referred to as regenerative blowers.
The impeller accelerates the process air around the side channel, building differential pressure without oil in the compression chamber.
The two-stage arrangement enables the blower to develop a greater differential pressure than comparable single-stage configurations, making this model useful where the application demands increased vacuum or discharge pressure.
Its two-stage G-BH1 configuration is intended for industrial systems needing increased differential pressure while retaining dry-running, oil-free operation.
This model sits at the lower end of the 2BH1610 two-stage group and provides a useful balance of compact motor power with increased differential-pressure capability.
Because no oil is required within the compression chamber, the G-BH1 design provides clean operation with very little routine internal maintenance.
The 2BH1610-7HH16 is a two-stage model with a 2.2 kW motor and is capable of operating at vacuum levels up to -200 mbar or pressure levels up to +190 mbar, subject to correct system design and operating conditions.
This performance profile makes the 2BH1610-7HH16 suitable for medium-to-higher vacuum and pressure duties, with final blower selection dependent on the required operating point, pipework, duty cycle and process conditions.
Vacuum Pumps UK can assist with the supply of new Elmo Rietschle 2BH1610-7HH16 side channel blowers for replacement and new equipment installations.
