The Roots-type blower is named after American inventors and brothers Philander and Francis Marion Roots, founders of the Roots Blower Company of Connersville, Indiana USA, who patented the basic design in 1860 as an air pump for use in blast furnaces and other industrial applications.
A Roots blower is a valve-less displacement compressor without internal compression. Blowers are usually air-cooled and oil-free. Their low efficiency limits these blowers to very low-pressure applications and compression in a single stage, even if two- and three-stage versions are available.
Commonly referred to as air blowers or positive displacement blowers, roots blowers are valveless displacement compressors. Each unit has two rotors that spin in opposite directions. When the compression chamber meets the outlet port, compressed air flows back into the housing from the pressure side.
What are roots blowers? A roots blower is a valve-less displacement compressor without internal compression. When the compression chamber comes into contact with the outlet port, compressed air flows back into the housing from the pressure side.
