Description
AMETEK Rotron DR505AW58M Regenerative Blower 2HP 115/230 VAC, 1 Phase
Get the most out of your spa blower system with this Regenerative Blower 2HP 115/230 VAC from AMTEK. Designed for peak performance and relaxation, this regenerative blower is the perfect way to upgrade your personal spa.
Features
-
Power & Voltage: This blower is rated at 2 HP and is designed to run on either 115 VAC or 230 VAC, single–phase power. It also operates at 50/60 Hz, making it adaptable to a range of electrical grids.
-
Regenerative Technology: Unlike standard fans or centrifugal blowers, regenerative blowers utilize a design where the impeller recirculates air within the housing to boost pressure and generate a smooth, continuous airflow. This method allows the blower to deliver higher pressures and lower noise levels—qualities that are particularly important in commercial applications such as spas, hotels, and health clubs.
-
Durable Construction: The blower is built with a cast aluminum housing coupled with cast iron threaded flanges, ensuring excellent structural integrity and durability. Its motor is typically an ODP (open drip-proof) type, which is well suited for environments where humidity or occasional splashing occur. Additionally, the motor’s design includes permanently sealed ball bearings and Class B thermal protection, enhancing its reliability for continuous duty operations. The maximum operating temperature is generally maintained at or below 140°C, which is crucial for longevity in demanding settings.
