Many people don't
understand the differences between a linear and rotary vane air pump. Below
are some common questions asked to help you better understand the difference
between the two.
Will my rotary vane air pump interchange with
a linear?
In many cases it will. You should check with your manufacturer to guarantee
proper sizing; however, a good rule of thumb would be that the Model 0323
rotary vane is equivalent to the 80 liter linear and the Model 0523 rotary
vane is equivalent to the 100 liter linear.
What are the advantages of
a rotary vane?
They are extremely durable and usually will outlast a linear air pump
in average life expectancy.
What are the disadvantages
of a rotary vane?
They are very loud and usually use twice as much electricity as a linear.
What are the advantages of a linear air
pump?
Although not quite as durable as a rotary vane compressor, a linear air
pump runs extremely quite and uses approximately 1/2 the electrical consumption
of a rotary vane. If your on-site system is located in an area where you
can hear it, such as your backyard, you might want to use the much quieter
linear air pumps.
What are the disadvantages of a linear air
pump?
The linear will need to have the diaphragms replaced more often than the
rotary vane compressors will need to have the vanes replaced. Although the
electrical savings of a linear versus rotary vane will easily make up the
difference, the linear air pumps are usually more expensive to purchase
than the rotary vane air pumps.
