MultiFlowTM
Built of lightweight, durable, aluminum alloy castings, Gardner Denver's
MultiFlow exhauster comes mounted on a common fabricated steel base
on many portable vacuum systems. MultiFlow provides high performance
and economy with a 4-stage, belt-driven design. The cast aluminum
impellers are backward curved and dynamically balanced to provide
years of trouble-free operation.
Airflow to 250 cfm
Vacuum to 7 "Hg
EVS Collectors
Hoffco-Pulse
Uses reversed airflow to
dislodge accumulated dust
without disrupting service.
Pulse durations are adjustable
by means of a timer for
optimum bag cleaning. All
models are available with
cone bottom or dust bucket.
Available only as a secondary
separator, Hoffco-Pulse models
are frequently used to handle
all separation needs.

Engineered Vacuum
System Design Guide
A multitude of tasks can be accomplished with an engineered vacuum
system, comprised of a vacuum producer, separators and complementary
components designed to match the exact application requirements.
These applications include general cleaning, material recovery, capture of
dangerous or hazardous dust and vacuum conveying of material. This guide
will cover engineered vacuum system designs for general cleaning that will
pick up and convey dry, free-flowing material that can enter and pass through
the vacuum cleaning tool and hose.
Step 1
Determine the following:
1. T he maximum number of operators to be using the
system simultaneously.
2. Is any future expansion anticipated?
3. A convenient location for installing the main components
- vacuum producer and separators.
Step 2
The process of line sizing begins,
based on a number of factors:
1. The air volume per hose.
2. Number of hoses to be used simultaneously.
3. C
orrect air velocities for conveying the material through
the tubing to the separators.

System Losses
To choose the proper vacuum producer, system losses or
resistance must be determined. Total loss consists of:

Losses
From Chart 3, Hose & Tool Friction Loss, 80 SCFM with 25
feet of 1.5" diameter hose and tool will have a total friction
loss of 1.75 "Hg. Looking at Figure 1, at point A, 80 SCFM
enters the system and flows to point E. The total equivalent
tubing loss from point A to E is:

Installations at Elevation
Corrections in vacuum producer performance are necessary
at elevations above sea level.
If we take our previous example at 4,000 feet, the air volume
was 320 SCFM/ 391 ICFM. On chart 2, we see the new
barometric pressure at 4,000.

Conclusion
This brief Design Guide does not cover all of the many
design variables which might be encountered. It is meant to
be used as a tool to give the purchaser an idea of the basic
factors involved in system design.
