Deman ORV Screw Blower: Redefining Efficiency in Low-Pressure Applications
For decades, Roots blowers have been the conventional choice for low-pressure applications. However, with rising energy costs and increasing demands for operational efficiency, it’s time to reconsider. The Deman ORV Screw Blower represents a paradigm shift, offering superior efficiency and deformation resistance compared to traditional alternatives.
Technology Comparison: Screw vs Roots
Traditional Roots Blowers

Roots blowers operate on the principle of isochoric compression (constant volume). As rotors turn, air is trapped in compression chambers, but compression occurs externally due to back pressure from the discharge pipe. This external compression results in:
- Significant energy losses
- High noise levels
- Pulsating airflow
- Limited efficiency improvements
Deman ORV Screw Blower

The ORV series utilizes isentropic compression (internal compression) through precision-engineered male and female rotors. As rotors counter-rotate, the volume between them decreases progressively, compressing air internally before discharge. This fundamental design difference delivers:
- Internal compression ratio matched to application requirements
- Smooth, pulsation-free airflow
- Optimized aerodynamic performance
- Minimal energy converted to heat
Key Advantages
- Revolutionary Energy Savings
The ORV series delivers exceptional Rotor Efficiency through its optimized screw profile and internal compression design.

Starting from a pressure of 0.5 bar, Deman ORV screw blower can save 25% to 50% of energy compared to the Roots blower. On average, the purchase cost can be recovered within one year. The energy-saving efficiency becomes increasingly prominent.
- High-Efficiency Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
At the heart of the ORV series lies our advanced High-Efficiency Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (HE-PMSM). Its power density is extremely high, and the rotor efficiency is approximately 80%-90%. What’s more, high-efficiency motor’s efficiency drops by about 5% under low load conditions.
- Intelligent Control System
Unlike Roots blowers with fixed-speed operation, the ORV series offers precise matching to actual demand and VSD (Variable Speed Drive) integration for optimal part-load efficiency . “Deman Cloud” Intelligent Remote Control System provides round-the-clock real-time monitoring
