High Speed Turbo Blower
With more than 5,000 installations since 2006, our gearless (high speed) turbo blower represents the most successful and largest installed base in the world of this technology. Our bearing design has proven to be reliable and our packaged energy efficiency to be the best in the industry. Lone Star fully supports this product from our factory in Houston Texas USA and can build turbo blowers to meet any buy American requirements for municipal projects.
The Evolution of Efficiency
- • Efficient: 20 to 40% more energy efficient offers less than 3 year payback
- • Quiet: 75 to 85 dba
- • Space Savings: Typically uses 1/3 the floor space of existing technologies
- • Low Maintenance: Air bearing design, No lubrication, alignment or scheduled maintenance beside filter change
- • Easy Installation: Completely Packaged — Just add power
- • Power: 10 to 1000hp / 15 to 750 kw
- • Direct Drive Foil Bearing Permanent Magnet Motor with integrated variable frequency drive and controller
- • 50,000 stop start warranty and 10 year core warranty (option)
- • 5,000+ Installations 15+ years
Gearless High Speed Turbo Blower Core Technology
Air Foil Bearing Like No Other
Requires no oil or grease—ever!
Air foil technology has evolved substantially since the 1960s to become industry standard for military and commercial aviation. Simple and reliable these bearings are mechanical and do not require complicated control systems or external power to operate.
- • Nano Silver Triple Treatment Bearing (NSTB)+
- • Requires no oil or grease—ever!
- • Improvement of Abrasion, Elasticity, & Durability
- • Optional 50,000 Start Stop Warranty or 10 Years
- • Best in the Industry
Impeller Design
Ensure a high strength-to-weight ratio for high speed operation
Using todays most advanced Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) Software and modern 5 axis machine we are able to create impellers from design to fabrication without compromise to efficiency while ensuring a high strength to weight ratio for high speed operation. Backward swept profile keeps a high rise to surge through the entire range.
- • Patented Design
- • 5 axis Machined from the Forged Aluminum and anodized
- • Tolerance remains under 1/1000 mm for all models
- • Clean and smooth Surface. More efficient and strength compared to casted impellers
- • Can be used under high pressure with good strength
- • Designed for optimized speed at the highest efficiency point
- • Impeller and Shaft are directly connected. Power transmission loss is 0%
- • A range of raw materials can be used
Permanent Magnet High Speed Motor Design
High speed permanent magnet motors offer superior efficiency at partial load as compared to traditional induction motors. The patented NO-0675821 forced cooling systems of our motors allow a longer life, even in the hottest environments.
- • Patented Design
- • Dissipates the heat generated by the motor
- • Heated air is discharged and NOT ingested
- • Results in longer life of the motor and operates the turbo package more efficiently!
- • Self Cooling – No external fans or liquid cooling is needed
Aerodynamic Perfection
Impeller design achieves three targets. Wide turndown, stable rise to surge, and high efficiency. Five axis machining of forged aluminum with a final anodized coating for performance and hardness.
Aerodynamic Perfection
Does not loose efficiency at reduced loads like induction type motors
Cooling System
Completely integrated and self cooling without the use of additional fans. Inlet air to the compressor drives all cooling air through the motor and VFD while heated air is discharged separately to improve overall efficiency. Patent No. 10-0675821
Completely Integrated Control Systems
On board control safely operates the blower system and can integrate with any network. Easy to interface and operate.
