To permit continued satisfactory performance, a blower must be operated within certain approved limiting
conditions. The manufacturer’s warranty is, of course, also contingent on such operation. Maximum limits
for pressure, temperature and speed are specified here for various blower sizes when operated under the
standard atmospheric conditions. Do not exceed any one of these limits.
NOTE
Special attention must be paid when a blower has a higher than standard
ambient suction temperature. Special recommendations for operating
parameters and/or additional cooling may be recommended. Consult the
factory or local representative for appropriate information.
4. INSTALLATION
DANGER
The blower is not intended to be used with explosive products or in explosive
environments.The blower is not intended to be used in applications that
include hazardous gases.
The blower is not intended to be used in applications that include hazardous
gases.
DANGER
It is the responsibility of the installer to assure that proper guarding is in
place and compliant with all applicable regulatory requirements.
WARNING
Customers are warned to provide adequate protection, warning and safety
equipment necessary to protect personnel against hazards in the installation
and operation of this equipment in the system or facility.
WARNING
The Specifications Table (Table 1) states the maximum operating speed
in RPM (rotations per minute), the maximum pressure. Do not exceed
these limits. The installation of the blower shall take these critical operating
parameters into account and adequate control features implemented.
WARNING
Pipe loading on the blower should be negligible as pipe loading can cause
distortion of the blower. Use proper supports and pipe hangers to assure
that there is no loading.
CAUTION
Upon completion of the installation, and before operation, assure the proper
rotation of the blower and that the blower rotates freely. If the blower does
not rotate freely, look for uneven mounting, piping strain, excessive belt
tension or any other cause of binding. If blower is removed and still does
not move freely, check inside the blower housing for foreign material.
CAUTION
Must check to see if the cooling fan rotates freely and has no contact with
the shroud. If there is contact, fan adjustment must be made.
