Meta. Marine blowers are essential for tanker ship degassing. These water-driven fans use water pressure from on-board fire fighting hoses. The exhaust water can either be sent overboard or piped back into the water supply. They can be used for both supply and exhaust degassing. This 2″ water-driven fan comes with a stainless steel water motor and 2-1/2″ NST (male) connectors. It features a Butterworth flange for easy mounting, perfect for degassing ship holds or tanks. The stainless steel water motor housing ensures durability, and the brass impeller offers efficient performance. The standard unit supplies air into the tank, and there's an optional fan blade for exhausting air from tanks. It's heat-treated to T6 aircraft aluminum specifications and has a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI. Specifications include an 18″ Butterworth flange diameter, a weight of 56 lbs., 2″ FPT water motor inlet/outlet, 2-1/2″ NST (male) water hose connector, a maximum water pressure of 150 PSI, and a net shipping weight of 62 lbs.
Using these water-driven marine blowers is easy. First, connect the blower to the fire fighting hose on the ship using the 2-1/2″ NST (male) water hose connector. Make sure the water pressure doesn't exceed 150 PSI. If you're using it for supply degassing, the standard unit will supply air into the tank. If you need to exhaust air from the tanks, you can use the optional fan blade. Mount the blower using the Butterworth flange. When it comes to maintenance, keep an eye on the stainless steel water motor housing and the brass impeller. Check for any signs of wear and tear regularly. Since it's heat-treated to T6 aircraft aluminum specifications, it's quite durable, but avoid exposing it to extremely harsh conditions. Also, be careful not to let the water pressure go beyond the maximum limit of 150 PSI as it could damage the blower.
