6.8 ROTOR CLEARANCE -
CHECKING & ADJUSTMENT
HP & LH pumps have very small, carefully
controlled clearances between rotors and rotor
case. Scimitar meshing clearances and Radial
clearances (shown a & b) are factory set and
cannot be changed. Axial clearances and Tri lobe
meshing clearances (shown c and d) are
adjustable if incorrect. (Figure 29, 30, 31, 32 &
Table 6).
