Looking for low-flow centrifugal compressor

TurboPE · Feb 1, 2005

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that offers a blower or centrifugal compressor that can provide a flow rate of around 120 l/min, at 100 cm water discharge pressure, for ambient air? Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

You might try Burton Corblain in France. Their Periflow compressor might handle that. Here is their web site:

10 years ago in school i made a small lab unit that included a membrane pump for cirkulating gas (mostly N2 with some organic compounds) in a closed loop of pipe. This worked fine. It was a small standard membrane pump.

I agree with Morten that a standard diaphragm pump is the way to go with such a small volume. If smooth flow is required you could use a small tank to buffer the flow.
