Gast advertises blower performance in Free Air Flow, or air subjected to only atmospheric pressure. (See above curves)
Some blower manufacturers advertise vacuum performance in CFM Inlet Air - measurement of the suction of air at a specific temperature at the inlet port and a specific
discharge pressure at the exhaust port, which can be perceived as enhanced performance over Free Air Flow rated blowers. Therefore, we are also providing the following
vacuum performance for Gast blowers in CFM Inlet Air for comparison to other blower manufacturer's advertising.

Application Engineering Information
Q. What happens to the noise when I locate two blowers
close together?
A. If the blowers are of the same design they produce
sound frequencies that are close together. These may
cause a "beating" change in volume of the blower noise.
This is because the units are not synchronized. If two
small blowers are needed this change in volume can be
reduced by moving tham further apart. With larger
blowers a dual blower with two blowers on one motor
will solve this problem.
Q. What causes the noise relief valves make?
A. Air rush through the valve.
Q. How do I control relief valve or bleed off valve noise?
A. Attach AJ121 series silencer on the port of the relief
valve that is open to atmosphere.
Contact Gast at 616-926-6171 or SepticTankParts.com with
any further questions you may have on reducing blower
noise in your application.

Blower Sound Levels of
Gast Blowers
Data is highest sound level out of 4 places around the blower at
1 meter.
Data represents average of several units run at nominal voltage.
Lowest to highest maximum dba level throughout performance
range is shown.
Readings at other than the maximum around the blower at
1 meter may be from 2 to 10 dba less than data shown.
Readings taken in a laboratory sound room that does not reflect
much noise.
Note: For comparison purposes, some blower manufacturers
show sound data from 1‚1/2 meters instead of from 1 meter;
also, some blower manufacturers show an "average" sound
level across performance instead of the full range between
minimum and maximum sound levels; either of these methods
will provide different and usually lower sound levels compared to
Gast's sound level method.
