Safety Regulations Safety Regulations Read this service manual carefully and observe all cautionary references before putting the rotary blower into operation and before carrying out any maintenance. Explanation of Symbols and References This symbol is placed before all references to safety where danger to life and limb can occur during work.
The warranty is invalidated if modifications are carried out without pre- Attention! vious consultation with and the consent of KAESER COMPRESSORS, INC.

(see chapter 1.1). For special gas applications contact KAESER COMPRESSORS, INC. Do not use this blower for any combustible gas applications. Any other use is considered incorrect. The manufacturer cannot accept liability for any damage caused by incorrect use.
Transport Transport Transport Instructions To avoid damage to the rotary blower we recommend the use of a fork lift truck, lift truck or a sling for transporting the rotary blower. See chapter 1.1 for the weight. Transport with a Fork Lift Truck or Lift Truck Always place the rotary blower on a suitable transporting medium (e.g.
Transport Temporary Storage Store the rotary blower in a dry, enclosed space. Leave the flanged Attention! ports blanked off to prevent contamination. Temporary storage for longer than one year: Spray preserving oil onto the flanged ports, drive shaft, air chamber and any other base metal to protect against corrosion.
Construction and Operation Construction and Principle of Operation Construction Two rotors, synchronised by a pair of timing gears, rotate in opposite directions in two cy- lindrical bores within a housing. A defined quantity of air entering the inlet port is trapped be- tween the rotors and the housing and carried round to the discharge port.
Construction and Operation Configuration KAESER rotary blower are delivered in the „vertical flow configuration“. See chapter 6.1 for other configurations. 5.2.1 Vertical flow configuration • • • • The drive shaft (11) is located at the upper rotor. In the vertical flow configuration the rotary blower may only be oper- Attention! ated with the drive shaft located at the upper rotor.
If it is required to locate the drive shaft at the right-hand rotor in hori- zontal configuration, KAESER COMPRESSORS must be consulted first. • • • • See the following diagramm for the positions of the oil level sight glasses (9) / (10) and oil filler plugs (3) / (5).
Installation Installation Installation Requirements Always operate rotary blowers in a dry and dust-free environment. • • • • Tapped holes are provided on the housing feet for mounting purposes (see chapter 1.6 • • • • for details of size). Mount the rotary blower on a stable and level base (flatness tolerance Attention! 0.002“).
Installation Protect pulleys and couplings against impact effect. Do not hammer on Attention! the shaft. 6.2.1 Direct coupled drive with flexible coupling The shaft ends of the rotary blower and the drive source must be precisely aligned. • • • • Set up the drive source to the shaft end of the rotary blower.
Installation 6.3.3 Display of temperature, pressure and vacuum According to the application concerned, it is necessary to provide local display of the tem- perature, pressure or vacuum in the inlet and discharge ports. 6.3.4 Monitoring devices for operational parameters To increase operational safety the parameters for discharge pressure •...
Putting into Operation Putting into Operation Points to be Observed before Putting into Operation Every rotary blower is given a test run in the factory and carefully checked before shipment. The test run confirms that the rotary blower conforms to the specification data and runs per- fectly.
See chapter 7 ‘’Putting into Operation’’ and the regulations for putting the drive source into operation. Explanation of symbols for the following fault diagnosis: 61 - Have checked by a specialist. 62 - Refer to KAESER customer service. 8.2.1 Abnormal running noises Possible fault: Removal: Backlash of the gears too large.
Operation 8.2.4 Low inlet volume flow Possible fault: Removal: Excessive rotor clearance caused by Measure the clearance between the wear especially by heavily contamina- rotors and check with the manufactu- ted flow medium. rer. Rotor replacement could be neces- sary; 61 or 62. Inlet flow resistance too high.
6000 – 8000 hours* change lubricating oil (KAESER OMEGA synthetic) The maintenance period can vary depending on the service and environmental conditions. The oil should be changed at least once a year, even if the blower was not in operation.
Maintenance Attention! The oil chambers of the gear and drive ends are not connected to each other. The lubricating oil, the rotary blower casing and ancillary parts can become extremely hot. Danger of burning! maximum Oil level sight glass To check the lubricating oil level: Stop the rotary blower (see chapter 8.1).
Maintenance Danger of burning by hot components. Wait until the rotary blower has cooled down to below 140 °F for. Place a container ready to catch the used oil (see chapter 1.3 for the oil capacity). The used oil must be collected and disposed of according to federal and local environmental regulations.
