(two by each impeller) and pushes them through to the discharge. The pumping capacity of a lobe blower Roots units covered in this manual range in basic size from 10 inches operating at constant speed therefore remains relatively independent through 20 inches gear diameter. -
Page 5: Operating Limitations
To establish and maintain continued satisfactory performance, any Roots blower from Roots must be operated within certain approved A. Maximum temperature rise (T.R.) in Fahrenheit degrees (°C) must limiting conditions. The manufacturer’s warranty is, of not exceed listed values when the inlet is at ambient temperatures. -
Page 6: Installation
Installation When ready to connect piping, remove main flange covers and inspect blower interior for presence of foreign particles or dirt adhering to machined surfaces. Clean out such material by washing carefully with a Technical assistance at installation by a Factory Service Engineer is petroleum solvent, then rotate impellers manually to make sure they turn usually not required for the this unit, frame series 1000 through 1400. - Page 7 Units mounted on soleplates are to be leveled in a similar manner. The Wait at least 24 hours before tightening anchor bolts or connecting any plates should be large enough to provide extensions for leveling in both piping. When jack screws have been used for leveling, make sure the length and width on the finished upper surfaces.
