Air Blower

This document provides calculations to determine the appropriate air blower for backwashing filters at the Taiping Headworks. It calculates that a minimum of 2007.5 cubic meters per hour and maximum of 2649.9 cubic meters per hour of air is required based on the filter area and minimum and maximum air scour rates. A safety factor of 10% is added. An air blower with a capacity of 2649.9 cubic meters per hour at a pressure of 14.4 meters is selected. Pipe losses and ejector sizing are also calculated.
