CAGI Data Sheets: Blower Performance Comparison Technical White Paper

Comparing blower performances across different manufacturers and technologies has long been a difficult task. For many years, it was all too easy to present data that, although accurate, was potentially misleading. Manufacturers were selective about what information they published as well as what conditions they chose to specify performance. The result was a numbers game the buyer frequently lost. Fortunately, the Compressed Air and Gas Institute (CAGI), in cooperation with its members, has developed a tool for a fair comparison between blowers. This white paper explains the importance of using CAGI data sheets in competitive comparisons and also includes a line-by-line explanation for each item included on the CAGI data sheets.
