A) Yes most commonly referred to as side channel blowers, but also know as regenerative blowers, vac blowers, fan blowers.

​

Q) What is the maximum rated ambient temperature?

A) The default answer is 40degC, but depending on the duty this can vary, it may be possible to increase to 45degC or even 50degC. This is a special case so please discuss your requirements with us.

​
