The Sanitaire TLX Series turbo blower is a compact, high efficiency low maintenance aeration blower based on centrifugal blower technology. Designed for lower airflow demand in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment applications. The Sanitaire TLX Series turbo blower scales down the multi-stage capabilities of larger turbo blowers to provide energy-saving advantages for smaller treatment plant operations.
Sanitaire turbo blowers also feature integrated real-time air flow measurements using a Venturi-type flow meter located at the suction bell mouth, providing airflow accuracy of +/-3%. Because the air flow meter is built into the blower, there is no need for separate air flow measurement equipment, reducing both installation costs and system complexity.
A turbo blower produces compressed air using a high-speed rotating impeller. Traditional turbo blower designs typically rely on standard motors, gearboxes, and inlet guide vanes to achieve and control high operating speeds, increasing system complexity and maintenance requirements.
The single stage Sanitaire TLX Series centrifugal blower combines state-of-the-art bump type airfoil bearings; a high precision, aluminum alloy impeller; a high-speed permanent PMSM motor; an inverter driven VFD; an advanced controller; and an integrated air-cooling system on most models. The result is a compact, energy-efficient blower designed for reliable, low-maintenance operation.
Designed for municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants, the Sanitaire TLX Series turbo blower offers exceptional application flexibility.
Available in sizes from 7.5 to 37 kW (10 to 50 HP) and air flow capabilities from 300 to 2,700 m3/hr per blower (177 to 1,589 SCFM), the Sanitaire TLX Series turbo blower can meet oxygen demands for facilities serving approximately 2,000 to 70,000 population equivalent reducing energy and operating costs. .
With a wide range of models available, systems can be sized more accurately to process requirements, helping avoid the inefficiencies and unnecessary costs associated with over or under-sized equipment.
For additional operational efficiency, Sanitaire turbo blowers can also be paired with the Sanitaire Blower Group Controller (BGC). Designed by Xylem aeration experts, the Sanitaire BGC selects the most efficient combination of duty assist and standby blowers to deliver the required air volume. This intelligent control strategy helps optimize energy consumption while simplifying blower operation and system management.
