Page 8: 4307 & 4310 Tri-Lobe Blowers
NVE 4307 & 4310 TRI-LOBE BLOWERS General Blower Operation BALLAST INJECTION The NVE BLOWERS are severe duty vacuum pumps, designed to be used in liquid waste pumping systems where extended operation is desired. The blower incorporates a ballast air cooling system to provide superior cooling, allowing for extended operation. -
Page 9: Blower Specifications
Location of Serial Number Each blower should have a brass colored tag with an embossed serial number. In addition, the Sereial Number serial number and blower direction as assembled at the factory are stamped into the top of the hous- ing as shown: Specifications Operating Environment... -
Page 10: Performance (Reference Only)
- faster R.P.M., higher air temperature and longer run time all equal more heat in blower. When installing an NVE 4307 or 4310 blower we recommend a normal R.P.M. of 4000. Other speeds are ok as long as exhaust gas temperatures read on the supplied thermometer do not exceed 380 degrees F. -

Page 15: Belt Drive
Belt Drive All NVE blower input shafts are equipped with an outboard roller bearing which allows the use of V-belt. The driving pulley from the prime mover must be mounted on the intake side of the blower to prevent unloading of the blower bearings. -
Page 16: Pto Drive
PTO Drive PTO’s must be properly sized to drive the blower. For more information on driving blowers with PTO’s, please see the Chelsea Blower Torque Guide Bulletin HY25- 0075-B1-US available at www.parker.com • Improper use of “Hot Shift” (i.e. clutch type, constant mesh) PTO’s can result in severe damage to the blower driveline and blower. -
Page 17: Recommended Accessories
The intake filters are designed to ensure maximum airflow efficiency why minimize the noise for customer specific operating points. If using a non-OEM keeping out unwanted debris. The filters supplied by NVE use a stainless steel silencer, it should be tested for effectiveness in the same fashion as described screen and can be cleaned. - Page 18 If the blower is intended to be used in pressure mode then a pressure relief valve is required. NVE recommends the use of Kunkle pressure relief valves as they have been proven to work well and have sufficient flow capacity.
-
Page 19: Operation
OPERATION Initial Start Up Preliminary Checks Before operating a blower that has been stored for any length of time, remove the intake and exhaust covers and inspect the rotors and cylinders to insure the absence of rust. In addition, remove the oil fill plug on the drive oil tank and inspect the gear for absence of rust. -
Page 20: Cold Weather Operation
Cold Weather Operation During very cold weather conditions, always warm the blower before operating at full rated vacuum or pressure. Damage to the blower can result from operating for short intervals in very cold weather conditions. If using a coupler with a rubber jaw or sleeve in shear during extremely cold weather, take note that elastomeric materials become stiffer in cold weather. -
Page 21: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE • LOCK OUT any equipment before performing maintenance. • Remove all pressure and vacuum from the system, i.e. discharge stored energy in the system. • Allow the blower to cool to below 100°F before beginning work to prevent burns. MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE FREQUENCY CHECK... -

Page 24: Blower Housing Flush
Main Pump Housing – Fluid flush; At least weekly. • Your blower comes standard with flush fluid kit hookup capability. This is used to introduce small amounts of flushing fluid into the machine to clean out debris and inhibit rust. Note this procedure is also followed daily in cold climates to help keep any moisture that may be in the blower from freezing up. -
