 Operation Principle of the Three Lobes Roots Blower

The operation principle of the three lobes roots blower: the engine drives the blower
with narrow v-belt to discharge the air fed at the inlet port out of the air outlet through
rotary pressure boost of the three- lobe type impeller.
Installation Requirements of the Blower:
1. The foundation shall be solid with flat surface 10cm higher than the ground.
2. Sufficient room shall be arranged around the blower to satisfy the requirement for
overhaul and dismounting.
3. The ambient temperature for the blower operation shall be within 40. If the
temperature is beyond that limit, certain measures shall be taken to reduce the
temperature; otherwise, the service life of the blower will be curtailed.
4. Rain proof shed shall be set if the blower is mounted outside.
5. The rated pressure boost value specified on the nameplate shall not be exceeded to
prevent the engine from over burning.
Requirements on the Pipeline
1. The blower pipeline shall be connected tightly without air leakage and the support
shall be set at appropriate location.
2. The pipeline material can sustain exhaust temperature and pressure. (try to adopt
steel pipes)
3. The pipeline inside shall be clean and without foreign substance; certain measures
shall be taken to stop the foreign substance from coming into the pipeline.
4. Check valve shall be installed on the pipeline to stop the back flow created by the
blower reversion from entering into the blower.
Attention: the check valve shall be installed on the horizontal pipeline.
5. In the situation of parallel operation of many blowers, brake valves must be
mounted respectively on each branch pipeline (as one blower needs examine and
repair, the corresponding pipeline can be cut off).
6. Drain cock shall be mounted on the pipeline to prevent the blower from loaded
start-up; the drain cock shall not be shut down until the blower starts with no load,
and then the loaded operation of the blower begins.

7. As to the blower with water cooling system, regulation valve shall be equipped in
front of the cooling water inlet.
Notices Before the Start-up of the Blower
1. Check whether the grounding bolts are connected tightly.
2. Wipe out foreign substance such as welding slag in the pipeline interior.
3. Completely open the valve, otherwise, the blower will be damaged due to its
over-loaded operation.
4. Fill gear oil. As the blower leaves the factory, there is no gear oil in its oil tank, so
you shall fill it yourself. In stoppage situation, it is suitable to add the oil to the
center level of the oil window as more will cause oil leakage.
5. Fill grease lubricant with oil gun until the grease overflows out of the spill hole on
the gland (the blower has been filled with grease lubricant before delivery).
6. Check the tightness degree of the narrow v-belt and the location of the pulley. The
location of the pulley can be regulated with ruler and the tightness degree of the
v-belt can be adjusted according to the following graph. The belt is loosened over
a period of usage when the readjustment is in demand.

7. Check whether the voltage and frequency of the power supply is in accordance
with the requirement of the rating plate.
8. Check the rotation direction of the pulley in the face of it, finding that it rotates in
2

a counterclockwise direction.
9. Rotate the pulley by hand to make sure there is no abnormal phenomenon before
the blower start-up.
10.Open the cooling water switch before the blower start-up; at the time of stoppage,
turn down the blower before cutting off the water.
Operation Description
1. At the initial stage of operation, because of the sticky grease lubricant, there may
be such phenomenon as noise and over high current that can disappear after ten to
twenty minutes operation.
2. The regulation of air flow rate can be carried out by changing the rotation speed of
the blower or the number of the flooding pipeline.
3. The blower shall work under the pressure rated by the nameplate. The switch of
the pressure meter shall be placed at the off position during the operation of the
blower. The switch can not be opened unless there is need of testing the pressure
and shall be closed immediately after the estimation.
4. There is even noise difference between the blowers of the same type. This can be
caused by the different location and piping of the blower in mechanical room.
5. Inspect whether the filter core of the inlet muffler is blocked during blower
application. The blockage may increase the motor
power and even damage the motor, hence prompt
cleaning is in demand.

6. As the boost pressure of the blower is higher than 58.8kpa, the user is advised to
install the water cooling system with cooling water 25, pressure 196294kpa, flow rate 8-13L/min. The blower with cooling system shares the same
appearance with the ordinary blower. The only difference is that the main and
auxiliary tanks are installed with water inlet and outlet interfaces which can be
connected the inlet and outlet water as required.

Instruction of the Safety Valve

1. Notices for Application
Given that the safety valve shall work under low pressure, the interface between the
valve seat and valve body has gone through precision finishing. If there is foreign
substance sticking around the valve seat, it will be attracted on the interface as the
valve body moves to lead to valve body leakage. In addition, please concern that
whether the safety valve suffers strike during the process of transportation which may
be another reason for valve body leakage.
2. Setting Method of the Safety Valve
Principle: the safety valve opens as the load surpasses its setting pressure so as to
avoid the blower failure.
Setting Method:
Start the blower.
Tighten the brake valve while watching the pressure gauge to make the
pressure exceed the setting pressure by about 10%.
Loosen the lock nut and revolve the regulation screw in a counterclockwise
direction until air is discharged out of the safety valve.

again in a clockwise direction to the position that the air can not be exhausted,
and then revolve it again in an opposite direction until the air is right
exhausted. (Clockwise rotation makes the setting pressure higher;
counterclockwise rotation makes the setting pressure lower).
Tighten the lock nut and regulation screw.
Loosen the brake valve to reduce pressure so that the safety valve does not
discharge air any more.
Inspect whether the safety valve operates under the setting pressure and
tighten the brake valve again to raise pressure.
Attention: actually as there is load on the exhaust side (water in aerator tank
reaches the fixed level), if the brake valve opens completely, the setting pressure
will be around10% higher than the practical load.
