The eycle occurs twice each revolion and is continous 58925, ROTORS CARRY TRAPPED AIR INLET Se DISCHARGE FIGURE 1. — OPERATING PRINCIPLE DESCRIPTION — On all models two heavy-duty -contact ball bearings are used on each rotor shaft, at the discharge nd at fixed bearings to maintain dacharge end clearance, The houng i « onepicce cating with flanged inlet and di charge openings. The rotors are ductile iron with integral shaft. All rotors are dynamically balanced for vibration-free operation. Helical timing gears are of alloy steel with hardened and ground teeth for quiet operation. Standard construction is top inlet, bottom discharge, with drive shaft extension from main rotor at the inlet end. Rotation is counterclockwise viewing the drive shaft. Blower may be mounted for either V-belt or direct-coupled dive. The main rotor runs twice the speed of the gate rotor. CYS Page 2 JINSTALLATION GENERAL — On receipt of unit, check for any damage that may be incurred during transit. Report any damage or missing parts as soon as possible. When installation is delayed, store the unit indoors in a clean, dry place. If indoor storage is not Evallable, protect the unit with a weatherproof covering. Factory test of each unit provides an of! film on working parts which provides corrosion protection for a short period of time. Select a clean, dry, well-ventilated ares for installing the blower and allow ample room for normal maintenance. Proper ventilation is necessary for blower cooling and cool air intake. DO NOT ELECTRIC WELD ON BLOWER OR BASE; BEARINGS CAN BE DAMAGED BY PASSAGE OF CURRENT. FOUNDATIONS — Correct supporting is important. Distortion by incorrect supporting will affect internal operating clearances, The foundation or base must provide a level, rigid, nonworking support for the blower. It must be on uniform and solid footing. Complete foundation design cannot be given because of varying conditions. If necessary, use shims under feet for leveling to prevent distortion when foundation bolts are tightened. After installation on the foundation is complete, check alignment of coupling or drive before starting blower. INLET FILTER OR FILTERSILENCER — For pressure service handling air, the blower inlet must be protected by @ filter of suitable size to allow full flow of air to the blower inlet. The filter must be of adequate efficiency to trap any foreign materials which may be in the general area of the air inlet. If noise is a factor, filterslencers are available. The filters may be installed directly on the blower or at the end of the inlet line when inlet piping is used. In choosing a location for the filter, consideration should be given to a source of cool, clean air and most important, access for maintenance. Filters generally used for blower service fall under three types: oll-wetted screen type, oil bath, and dry type. Filtersilencers are also available in the above types. For vacuum service, the type of system used and materials being handled will determine the necessity for an inline filter. COUPLINGS — For direct-coupled units, a flexible-t coupling, accuratel} yned, should be used between blower and UPL or icecpuned oa Seteree seeping erry sped hal be ged ers ove: ond Ered hE et ta lad eget apd ay es (eet ele eee ere ae eee ie feeees eI eee he eae alee With lubricated or special couplings, follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and maintenance. V-BELT DRIVE — Follow normal specifications recommended by belt manufacturers for installation of belt drives on blowers. To provide the most compact drive, it is suggested the high capacity V-belt drives be used. Blower shaft and power unit shaft should be parallel, with sheaves aligned on shafts so belts run true. Use only matched belt sets and replace belts in complete sets only. Belt tension should be according to manufacturer's recommendations. Slippage can be detected by belt squeal, overheating or loss of speed. A few hours after initial starting with new belts, it is advisable to recheck be tension and provide tension adjustment as necessary. ‘A 30 horsepower open 40° C. rise (40 horsepower totally enclosed) electric motor is the maximum size driver that can be used with a simple V-belt drive. Consult Instruction Sheet CY-902 for simple V-belt drive design. Installations requiring more than 40 horsepower must use a jackshaft V-belt drive arrangement. BYPASS VALVE — Installation of a bypass valve at the blower discharge will allow the blower to be started under no-load. The bypas line may be discharged to atmosphere orto the blower inlet depending on local requirements or material being HEAT EXCHANGER — When bypass line discharges to blower inlet, a heat exchanger must be included in the line between blower discharge and blower inlet, to remove the heat of compression before the gas is reintroduced into the blower inlet. ‘A check valve should also be placed in the inlet line between the bypass line and the inlet filter or silencer, to prevent discharging backwards through the filter or silencer. CHECK VALVE — When blower is uted in « pneumatic conveying system, a check valve must be used to prevent back flow cf materials into lower. In any system itis tsnfety device preventing the down stream pressure from motoring the blower through shutdown periods, Cheel valve must be provided for each blower when several blowers are maniflded into a common system, RELIEF VALVE ~The reli valve must be installed as close to blower discharge as possible. There should be no accessories such as valves, check valves, silencers, ete. between relief valve and blower discharge. It should be set 1 t0 2 PSI above lower operating presse (1/2" eo 1” Hig in vacuum sevice). HIGH TEMPERATURE AND HIGH PRESSURE SHUTDOWN — All blower installations should be protected with a high temperature shutdown switch. The controls should be set to stop the blower when discharge temperature reaches 355° F. CYS Page 3tn some installations a high pressure shutdown switch may also be advisable. The sensing element of these controls should be intalled as close to the Blower dacharge as posible On remote or unattended installations these controls are normally mandatory. INLET PIPING — During the installation of piping make sure dirt and other foreign materials do not enter blower openings. When inlet piping is used IT MUST BE CLEAN, FREE OF SCALE AND OTHER FOREIGN MATERIALS WHICH COULD ENTER THE BLOWER. It is suggested that an expansion joint be installed near blower openings to prevent stressing of blower housing. Support pipe to relieve weight on expansion joint and blower. Make sure pipe size is adequate and as straight ss Fonible o prveat promo dep at Uower inlet. Where bends are necessary use long radius fittings. All connections must be air tight, For vacuum service, an accurate vacuum gauge must be used near blower inlet to indicate operating vacuum, and » suitable vacuum relief valve must be used. A vacuum blower in pneumatic conveying service requires preinlet separation and fering to prevent material carry-over into blower. Inlet pipe size is determined as follows: for lines 0 to 10 feet long, use pipe size equal to blower inlet ange size: 10 to SE ere ea usee Rar [esos eee ae oe age eas roe DISCHARGE PIPING — tm general the type system used will govern the piping arrangement. However, the following #06 gestions should be followed for blower protection and efficiency. Expansion joint should be installed as close to the blower opening as possible to protect the blower housing from stresses. Al pipe connections should be square and even to prevent distortion from misalignment. An accunte presure page must be provided near blower disharg to indicate operating pref nea eel i factor, 4a discharge silencer should be used. The discharge line should be as straight as possible. Where bends are necessary, use long radius fiteings. Provision for condensate drainage at lowest point in piping may be required. VENTILATION — If blower is to operate in a housing or enclosure, proper ventilation must be provided for adequate blower cooling. Cooling air should be taken from outside the enclosure. CYS Page 4e OPERATION GENERAL — A new blower from the factory must be checked and serviced before operation. The blower must be lubri- cated and operated according to the folowing instructions Blower failure can be caused by operation at above ated pressure or below rated minimum speed. Both cause excessive discharge temperature and seizure of rotating. parts. ‘MAXIMUM RATINGS Drive Discharge Shaft Pressure * Vacuum * RPM Sea Level Inches Hg. hn ona a 12 PSIG 12 aed se Continuous Continuous ASCDL 15-20 PSIG 13.16 Intermittent Intermittent * Pressures or vacuums are gauged at immediate blower discharge or inlet.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE — Blower air discharge temperature will vary with operating conditions. It is not unusual to experience a discharge temperature of 300° F. at full load conditions; however, it should not exceed 350° F. in any case. If extreme heating occurs, stop the blower at once and correct the trouble, DO NOT CONTINUE TO RUN A BLOWER THAT IS OVERHEATING. CHECK BLOWER FOR DAMAGE BEFORE RESTARTING. Lubricating oll temperature will increase with increasing discharge air temperature. Oil samp temperatures at the discharge end in the 200-2250 F. range are not uncommon. PRESTART CHECK (For A New Or Overhauled Blower) 1, Base leveled accurately. 8. Air filter serviced. 2 Onrrect alignment of coupling and/or V-belt drive. 9. All bolts tight. 3. Ail pipes and joints tight and properly supported. 10. Correct rotation. 4. Expansion joint in discharge and (if used) inlet line. 11. Blower tums frcely. 5. Check valve in line (if required). 12, Oil sumps filled (sce Maintenance Section). 6 Proper relief valve in line. 13, Power unit serviced per manufacturer's instructions. 7. Air inlet clean and tight. STARTING BLOWER ~ Start at reduced speeds and noload if posible If speed is fixed, start without load by ble discharge to atmosphere. Starting should be smooth and free of vibrations. After initial noload start, and operation satisfactory, apply load gradually until maximum operating conditions are attained. BE SURE OPERATING CONDITIONS ARE WITHIN BLOWER RATINGS. Maintain a close check for severe vibration, unusual noise, leaks and undue heating. The blower will dually heat up due to compresion, but after a reasonable length of time temperatures will abize With very cold ambient conditions, warm up blower at no-load before going into full load service. CYS Page 5If the blower is used as part of a specific system, check the system's manual for any instructions that may be necessary when starting the Blower. STOPPING BLOWER — Where possible, reduce system presure to zero guuge before stopping blower. To prevent back- flow of forcign material into’ blower on shutdows, provide a check valve it the dischange’ like. On engine’ driven unite, idle che engine for a few minutes prior to thatdown. EMERGENCIES ~ In event of ester flues, shut dow the Bower immediately, tspect che Mower for foreign materi backflow. If materials are found inside the blower housing, a thorough cleaning is necessary before restarting. DO NOT OPERATE A.BLOWER WHICH IS NOISY, VIBRATING, OR HEATING EXCESSIVELY.

With pressure or hand gun fil bearing cavity with grease until it begins to come out of grease relief fitting. arly models do not have zerk fittings for greate gun lubrication. On these blowers remove bearing covers, clean out old grease and repack every 250 hours of operation. [AIR FILTERS AND FILTER-SILENCERS — Servicing the air filters is one“of the most important maintenance operations to be performed to insure long blower life. Servicing frequency must be established by the user depending on dirt and Wointufe conditions, as well as type of filter used. After blower is put into operation inspect the filter frequently to establish regular maintenance intervals, DAILY MAINTENANCE IS NOT UNCOMMON IN EXTREMELY DIRTY CONDITIONS. Other BLOWER ACCESSORIES also require periodic service. 1. Drain condensate from discharge silencer. 3, Check relief valve for setting and operation. 2, Check pressure or vacuum gauges for accuracy. 4. Inspect check valve seat for wear. BEARING CARRIER VENT HOLES — There are two vent holes Stted with « breather in each bearing cartier.
