August 15, 1977 27 Coppus Engineering Bulletin Describes Portable Blowers A new four-page Coppus Bulle- tin describing the streamlined family of Vano® portable blowers and blower/exhausters is now available. Application photos show vari- ous designs being used to venuiate confined spaces, purge vessels of fumes, exhaust welding fumes and to cool overheated equipment. Flow diagrams illustrate dif- ferent methods to ventilate tanks. Performance tables show high static pressure capabilities of ba- sic models and capacities of var- ious designs through different lengths of noncollapsible tubing. Dimensional tables highlight their compact size which make Vano ventilators ideal for use in restricted and confined areas. Di- mensions of tripod-mounted units are shown in a separate chart. For a copy of the bulletin, write to Anthony Pandiscio, Coppus En- gineering Corp., 344 Park Avenue, Worcester, Mass. 01613. And without load sway.
