SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Safety is everybody’s business and is based on your use of good common sense. All situations or circumstances cannot always be predicted and covered by established rules. Therefore, use your past experience, watch out for safety hazards and be cautious. Some general safety precautions are given below: Failure to observe these notices could result in injury to or death of personnel.
It is the purpose of this manual to help you properly install, maintain and service your Gardner Denver blower. It is important that no section be overlooked when preparing to install your blower.
SECTION 2 INSTALLATION GENERAL – The CycloBlower H.E. is a compact, rotary lobe type axial flow blower. The meshing of two screw type rotors synchronized by timing gears provides controlled compression of the air for maximum efficiency and pulsation free discharge. OPERATING PRINCIPLE –...
A vent opening is provided between the compression chamber seal and the oil sump seal. This vent prevents any compression seal leakage from flowing through the oil seal and must be left open to atmosphere. The vent holes are tapped to permit installation of a venting line. Do not plug these vent holes unless a mechanical seal is used.
FIGURE 2-3 ACCESSORIES AND SAFETY DEVICES ACCESSORIES (FIGURE 2-3) – The type of service determines the accessory group required. The typical items are listed as follows: Inlet Filter or Filter-silencer Discharge Silencer Flexible Coupling Base Plate Expansion Joint(s) – Inlet and/or Discharge Driver Simple V-Belt Drive Temperature or Pressure Shutdown Switch...

However, during shipping, handling and installation, it is likely that the alignment has been disturbed and final adjustment must be made before startup. Synchronous-Belt Drive – Synchronous belts are not recommended for usage on Gardner Denver positive displacement blowers. Installation of synchronous belts is critical and can result in alignment, tensioning and vibration problems, which contribute to higher than normal loads and stresses on the blowers.

Bypass Valve – Installation of a bypass valve at the blower discharge (FIGURE 2-3, page 14) will allow the blower to be started under no-load. Bypass line may be discharged at atmosphere or to blower inlet depending on local requirements or material being handled. Heat Exchanger –...

DISCHARGE PIPING – In general, the type of system used will govern the piping arrangement. However, the following suggestions should be followed for blower protection and efficiency. An expansion joint should be installed as close to the blower opening as possible to protect the blower housing from stresses.
SECTION 3 FORCED LUBRICATION SYSTEM INSTALLATION FORCED FEED LUBRICATION SYSTEM – The forced feed lubrication system is required for running CycloBlower H.E. models at relatively high pressures/vacuums. It can also be used to extend blower life for low pressure/vacuum applications. It provides ideal lubrication for bearings and gears. Figure 3-1 shows the main components of the lubrication system.
CONTROL BOX – The control box provides connections for the electrical supply, fault contacts, and remote control contact. Refer to FIGURE 3-9, page 29 and FIGURE 3-10, page 30 for wiring diagrams. Electrical Requirements – The forced lubrication system requires a 220V/240V, 50Hz/60Hz single- phase electric supply.
Faults– Figure 3-3, shows lubrication system control faults. Any fault will cause the fan to turn off and the fault contacts to change state. Typical Operating Fault Fault Level Comments Range 11 PSI 15-36 PSI Low oil flow rate and velocity can cause bearing and Oil Pressure [0.76 bar] [1-2.5 bar]...
OIL RESERVOIR– The reservoir volume is approximately 10 gallons [38 liters]. The reservoir should be filled oil to the middle of the sight glass. The oil fill neck is positioned to prevent overfilling. Overfilling can prevent proper oil mist elimination and cause seal leaks. Low oil levels can increase oil temperature and decrease oil life.
ADJUSTABLE LOUVER – An adjustable louver panel in front of the heat exchanger allows the reservoir vacuum to be adjusted. The louver should be set for maximum cooling (down) unless adequate reservoir vacuum cannot be reached. Refer to FIGURE 3-5. FIGURE 3-5 RESERVOIR VACUUM ADJUSTMENT TYPICAL LUBRICATION SYSTEM PLACEMENT: Refer to FIGURE 3-12, page 32, FIGURE 3-13,...
LUBRICATION SYSTEM PLUMBING AND CONNECTIONS: Oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death. Shut down blower, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout the power supply before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts and filters FIGURE 3-6 shows forced lubrication system hydraulic connections to the blower. Warm oil (orange) is pulled from the reservoir by a pump driven by the female (drive) rotor.
HOSES - Hoses materials need to be compatible with the lubricant used. Material compatibility data sheets for Aeon lubricants can be obtained from Gardner Denver. Hoses should be rated for temperature of at least 212°F [100°C] and pressure of at least 50 PSI [3.4 bar].

SECTION 4 OPERATION Future operating problems can be avoided if proper precautions are observed when the equipment is first put into service. Before starting under power, the blower should be turned over by hand to make certain there is no binding or internal contact.

NOTICE Blower speed, line losses, elevation, and increased inlet temperatures will affect the maximum operating limitations. OPERATING TEMPERATURE – Blower air discharge temperature will increase with higher operating pressures or vacuums, and lower operating speeds. If the discharge temperature or temperature rise exceeds the limits shown in (FIGURE 4-1, page 35) stop the blower at once and correct the trouble.

Do not operate a blower which is noisy, vibrating, or heating excessively. BLOWER STARTUP CHECKLIST This startup procedure should be followed during the initial installation and after any shutdown periods or after the blower has been worked on or moved to new location. It is suggested that the steps be followed in sequence and checked off (√) in the boxes provided.
Recommend reservoir flush every fourth oil change. Extreme Duty may require increased frequency dependent upon Lube Sample results. 5) System Components: System components are not typically supplied by Gardner Denver. Contact the system component provider or packager for appropriate service intervals.
4 times longer than a premium mineral oil, depending on actual operating conditions. Order AEON 9000TH from your Gardner Denver distributor or call Gardner Denver directly. If not using AEON 9000TH or AEON 6000FG-68 synthetic lubricant, contact the factory for recommendations...

DISCHARGE SILENCER – A drain may be provided in the silencer at the lowest point for draining condensate. Draining intervals will depend upon humidity conditions and must be established by the user. HEAT EXCHANGER – Regularly inspect the heat exchanger for debris. The heat exchanger fins can be cleaned with a compressed air jet.
Page 42
VIBRATION MONITORING – All Cycloblower H.E. ® Models are vibration tested at the factory to ensure blower quality. The total vibration measured at the factory may be different from the site installation. Vibration is dependent on many factors including foundation construction, shaft alignment, piping configuration, drive type, and operating conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTING - shows possible causes and solutions for problems that may be encountered during operation. Problem Possible Causes Solution Restricted inlet flow Clean air filter. Correct any restrictions. Reduce discharge pressure. Correct any Excessive discharge pressure restrictions. Excessive Discharge Temperature Operation below allowable speed Increase speed.
