SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the relationship between impeller diameter and suction pipe length in blowers. A smaller diameter impeller generates a lower pressure difference, which negatively impacts performance when paired with a longer suction pipe. However, it is noted that smaller impellers are typically operated at higher speeds to compensate for this effect. Understanding this relationship is crucial for optimizing blower performance in various applications.
