Roots* RAS-J Air & RGS-J


Gas Blowers
Wide range of performance for pressure and vacuum
applications on air or gas service for both dry and
wet (liquid injection) conditions.
GE Energy’s Roots blower models deliver
industrial and high vacuum air and gas
services including single and multiple stage
arrangements. Roots rotary blowers have
been applied to multiple applications in
a very wide range of industries – aeration
for wastewater treatment, pneumatic
conveying for both vacuum and pressure
conditions, steel degassing, vacuum truck,
and many others.
These blowers are available in size ranges
that can be economically direct driven by
an electric motor. They are available with
extensive application engineering, global
service support, and packaging capability.

The GE proprietary WHISPAIR* design reduces stress, vibration and noise in your blower
and piping system. Conventional blowers produce downstream pressure pulse waves
which buffet your air or gas delivery system up to 120 times per second. These pulses
and vibrations can steal power and shorten the life of every bearing, gear and other
drive train component.
WHISPAIR technology reduces the strength of the blower pulse up to 40%, throughout
the air/gas delivery system.

WHISPAIR Technology Features


■ Lower energy consumption. The patented ■ Cylinder and headplates. All RAS-J and
WHISPAIR jet design precisely meters back-flow RGS-J blower units are configurable to

■ Longer bearing life. Less pulse transmitted strenuous pressure and leak testing to help
through the impellers means approximately preserve integrity in the most demanding
20% longer bearing life. With less pulse and applications. Each RGS-J machine is leaked

Note 1: Standard drive shaft location is dependent upon frame size:


10xx through 14xx frame sizes - drive shaft is located on the opposite gear end of the machine and is shown in heavy type.
16xx through 20xx frame size - drive shaft is located on the gear end of the machine as shown by dotted lines.
For all direct drive applications torsional analysis of the whole drive train is required and in the case of drivers other than electric motors, gear end drive must be specified.
Frame sizes 10xx through 14xx can be belt driven with the addition of an optional extra bearing and selection of correct pulley combination.
