Airlift

Airlift: operating principles

An airlift is a device whose operation is based on creating a pressure difference due to a mixture of high and low density gases, which means that the air in the cylinder must enter in the form of low pressure gases, while the pressure difference is created by sucking high pressure air from the container, where the air is under high pressure. As a result, a mixture of gaseous media from two different media is compacted and they enter the pump mixer, where the process of transferring carbon dioxide to the consumer occurs. The pump can also create a vacuum chamber by compressing the coal soil in several stages as the particles move into the container. Thus, the airlift suction unit is different from conventional blowers or reciprocating compressors and is a vacuum supply system that uses the work of carbon dioxide gasification in each part of the mixture used to generate suction and discharge forces.

Advantages and disadvantages of airlifts

There are various types of airlift units that are used for loading, transporting and unloading liquids such as gas, liquid, food and even fertilizer. They have the following advantages: - Compactness and ease of transportation; - No need for a stationary pneumatic device
