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.
Safety Regulations General References Attention! The rotary blower is not capable of independent function and is de- signed as a built – in unit or as a unit complementary to another ma- chine. The rotary blower may only be put into operation as an integral part of the complete machine and then only after the complete machine was subjected to a safety inspection proving that it conforms to the require- ments of the accident prevention regulations (see OSHA CFR 29 §...
General General Correct Use Attention! The rotary blower package is intended solely for the transport of oil- free air or any inert gas without any liquids or solids and in conformity with the technical specification (see chapter 1.1). For special gas applications contact KAESER COMPRESSORS, INC. Do not use this blower for any combustible gas applications.
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 cylindrical bores within a housing. A defined quantity of air entering the inlet port is trapped between the rotors and the housing and carried round to the discharge port.
Construction and Operation Configuration KAESER rotary blower are delivered in the „horizontal flow configuration“. See chapter 6.1 for other configurations. 5.2.1 Vertical flow configuration • • • • The drive shaft (12) 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.

Construction and Operation 5.2.2 Horizontal flow configuration • • • • The drive shaft (12) is located at the left-hand rotor. Attention! In the horizontal flow configuration the rotary blower may only be op- erated with the drive shaft located at the left-hand 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.
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 Arrangement suggestion Pre-entry Discharge Inlet Pre-entry 1 OMEGA PV 3 Pre-inlet silencer 2 Shut off valve with switch to signal open 4 Pre-inlet filter and closed 5 Outlet silencer Drive • • • • The rotary blower can be driven by all standard drive sources available on the market. •...
Installation • • • • The pulleys for the rotary blower must be balanced. • • • • Check the tension of the V-belts and adjust if necessary when first putting into oper- ation. After every V-belt change check the tension after 30 minutes and after 24 hours of further service.
Installation 6.4.6 Noise reduction measures The use of inlet and discharge silencers and/or sound enclosures is decided by the ap- plication conditions for the rotary blower. Personal protective measures (e.g. earmuffs) for the maintenance and operating personnel must be met according to the accident prevention regulations (see OSHA CFR 29 §1910).
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.
Operation Operation Starting and Stopping the Rotary Blower The rotary blower is started by switching on the drive source in accordance with the safety regulations (see chapter 2) and the regulations for putting the drive source into operation. Starting and stopping of the rotary blower is also subject to the application parameters speci- fied by the use.
Operation 8.4.1 Abnormal running noises Possible fault: Removal: Backlash of the gears too large. Check the backlash. If it is > 0.1 mm replace the timing gears; 1 or 2. Bearing clearance too large. Measure the clearance, replace the bearing if necessary; 1 or 2. Rotors out of time.
Maintenance Maintenance Observe the following rules during all maintenance and service work: Always ensure that personal protective measures are taken (e.g. the wearing of ear muffs) according to the accident prevention regulations. Work on power driven equipment may only be carried out by trained or specialied personnel.
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.
