HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH HAZARDOUS PROCESS FLUIDS
DANGER
It shall be the responsibility of the installer to ensure that piping is adequate,
sealing between pipe joints is adequate for the process fl uids and proper
process and pressure protection devices are in place. It is also the
responsibility of the installer to assure that process gasses are not vented
in a manner that would be hazardous.
Refer to the manufacturer of the process media to assure that proper safety
precautions are in place.
5.4.1 BLOCKAGE OR RESTRICTION
WARNING
Damage to the blower could occur if there is blockage in the inlet or outlet
ports or piping. Care should be taken when installing the blower to assure
that there are no foreign objects or restrictions in the ports or piping.
5.5 MOTOR DRIVES
Two drive connections commonly used are direct drive and V-belt drive.
5.5.1 DIRECT COUPLED
When installing the motor directly to the blower, align shafts to coupling in accordance with the coupling
manufacturer’s instructions. Blowers shipped with motor directly coupled and mounted on a common base
have been aligned prior to shipment and normally no further alignment is necessary. However, alignment
should be checked and adjustments made if necessary prior to starting the unit.
Coupling halves must correctly fi t the blower and drive shafts so that only light tapping is required to install
each half. The two shafts must be accurately aligned, A direct coupled blower and motor must be aligned
with the two shafts not having more than .005” (13 mm) T.I.R. (Total Indicator Reading). Face must be
aligned within .002”(.05 mm) .
Proper gap between coupling halves must be established according to coupling manufacturers instructions
with the motor armature. This will minimize the change for end thrust on the blower shaft. All direct coupled
base mounted units must be re-aligned and greased after fi eld installation.
5.5.2 V-BELTS
If the motor and blower are V-belt connected, the sheaves on both motor and blower shafts, should be as
close to the shaft bearings as possible. Blower Sheave is not more than 1/4” (6.5 mm) from the blower
drive end cover. The drive sheave is as close to the driver bearing as possible. Care should be taken when
installing sheaves on the blower and motor shafts. The face of the should be accurately in line to minimize
belt wear.
Adjust the belt tension to the to the manufactures specifi cations using a belt tension tester. New belts should
be checked for proper tension after 24 hours of run time. When manufacturer data is not available industry
guidelines are 1/64 inch defl ection for each inch of span at 8 to 10 pounds of force in the center of the belt.
Insuffi cient tensioning is often indicated by slipping (squealing) at start up. Belt dressing should not be
used on V-belts. Sheaves and V-belts should remain free of oil and grease. Tension should be removed
from belts if the drive is to be inactive for an extended period of time. For more specifi c information consult
the drive manufacturer. In a v-belt drive, the blower sheave must fi t its shaft accurately, run true, and be
mounted as close to the bearing housing as possible to minimize bearing loads.
