Instrument type
Impeller aerator
It has the comprehensive functions of aeration, water agitation, gas explosion, etc. It is currently the most used aeration machine with an annual output value of about 150,000 units. Its aeration capacity and power efficiency are better than other models, but the operating noise is relatively large. It is used for large-scale pond culture with a water depth of more than 1 meter.
Waterwheel type aerator
It has a good effect of increasing oxygen and promoting water flow, and is suitable for ponds with deep silt and an area of 1000-2540 ㎡.
Jet aerator
Its aerobic power efficiency is higher than that of waterwheel type, inflatable type, water jet type and other aerators. Its simple structure can form water flow and agitate water bodies. The jet-type aerator can gently aerate the water body without damaging the fish body, and is suitable for aeration of fry ponds [8].
Water jet aerator
It has a good oxygen-enhancing function, which can quickly increase the dissolved oxygen in the surface water body in a short period of time, and also has the effect of artistic appreciation.
Inflatable aerator
The deeper the water, the better the effect, suitable for use in deep water.
Inhalation aerator
The air is sucked into the water through negative pressure suction, and it forms a vortex with water to propel the water forward, so the mixing force is strong. Its ability to aerate the lower layer of water is stronger than that of the impeller type aerator, and its ability to aerate the upper layer of water is slightly inferior to that of the impeller type aerator [4].
Vortex aerator
It is mainly used for aeration of water under ice in the north, with high aeration efficiency [4].
Aeration pump
Because of its light weight, easy operation and single aeration function, it is generally suitable for use in fry breeding ponds or greenhouse breeding ponds with a water depth of less than 0.7 meters and an area of less than 0.6 acres.
With the continuous refinement of fishery demand and the continuous improvement of aerator technology, many new aerators have emerged, such as surge spray aerators, spray aerators and other specifications aerators.
