What is an Air Amplifier?
The STREAMTEK Air Amplifier is a simple, low cost way to move smoke, air, light materials, and fumes. Using just a small amount of compressed air as their power source, Air Amplifiers pull in massive volumes of air from the surrounding environment to product high velocity, high volume outlet flows. Quit, efficient STREAMTEK Air Amplifiers will create output flows up to 25 times their consumption rate.
Which will best suite my needs?
STREAMTEK™ Corp., manufactures the Standard & Adjustable Air Amplifier, available in both aluminum and stainless steel. Both are easy to mount and maintain, reducing both compressed air consumption and noise levels. The adjustable has an air gap that is infinitely adjustable which regulates the consumption and outlet flow from a "breeze" to a "blast".

Adjustable Air Amplifier: DUCTING
Both the vacuum intake (inlet) and discharge ends can be ducted for fume conveying and light material applications. It is important that care is taken to avoid restrictions that could cause suction resistance or back pressure that will reduce the performance levels.

1. Can my compressed air pressure be increased with an Air Amplifier?
No. The Adjustable Air Amplifier only amplifies volume, not pressure. The outlet pressures are well below 1 PSIG. The Air Amplifiers takes energy from a small volume of compressed air to produce its high velocity, high volume, low pressure output airflow. 2. How do I mount the Air Amplifier?
A rigid air pipe is the optimal way to mount the Air Amplifier. The rigid air pipe will easily hold up to the very large air flow created. 3. Can I connect the cold end of a Vortex Tube to an Air Amplifier?
No. The Air Amplifier would restrict the air flow of the Vortex Tube to the point where back-pressure would limit the cooling capacity of the Vortex Tube. The cold end of the Vortex Tube should not be subjected to a backpressure in excess of 5 PSIG.
