3.4 Prepare, locate and connect the blower
3.4.1 Introduction
Take note of the following when you locate the blower and
connect it into your system:
For optimum performance, ensure that the system
pipelines connected to the blower are as short as possible.
Support your system pipelines and other components, to
prevent loading of the inlet and outlet ports on the blower.
Incorporate flexible components in your system, to
minimise noise and vibration.
Where necessary, use gaskets/seals which are compatible
with the gases which will be pumped/compressed, and
with the operating conditions.
The leak tightness of your system connections must be in
accordance with the requirements of your applications.
Note that blowers can be:
Installed directly in your system. You must ensure that your
system pipelines can support the blower. Prepare, locate
and connect blower as described in Section 3.4.2.
Supported by mounting feet; prepare, locate and connect
blowers as described in Section 3.4.3.

through the inlet port.
Turn the blower drive shaft as necessary to access the
other rotors.

Fit a suitable gasket/seal* to the blower inlet (Figure 1,
item 2), then use the correct number and size of bolts
to connect the blower inlet flange to your system inlet
pipeline.
