G3G250 Megawatt Blowers From EBM-Pabst
The G3G250 megawatt blowers allow users to extend their gas-condensing boiler lines into the upper heating 1.2 MW power range. The blowers require minimal installation space due to their integrated control electronics and motor. The electronically commutated gas blowers can use existing housings and impellers that are found with standard blowers, which eliminate the need to make constructive changes to the boiler's intake and exhaust side.
