    Compressor Classification Based On Flow: P Ositive Displacem Ent (Interm Ittent Flow) C Ontinous Flow

    Uploaded by

    This document discusses root blowers, which are positive displacement rotary machines. It describes their principle of operation, main components, accessories, operating instructions, maintenance procedures like dismantling and assembling, importance of clearances, and common troubleshooting issues. The key points are that root blowers transfer air or gas through rotors rotating in opposite directions without touching, and develop pressure through backflow rather than internal compression.

    ROOTS BLOWER
    ➲ Rotary positive displacement blower
    invented by Roots Brothers.
    ➲ Pressure ratio rp =(discharge pr./suction
    pr.)
    ➲ Fan rp = 1 to 1.1
    ➲ Blower rp = 1.1 to 3
    ➲ Compressor rp >3
    Principle of operation.
    ➲ Casing of the blower contains two lobes
    mounted on parallel shafts.
    ➲ Lobes are shaped as 8 or star and are gear
    driven to rotate in opposite direction
    without touching the casing walls or one
    another.
    ➲ Due to rotation of the lobe,air discharges
    through outlet.2/3 discharge strokes for
    each revolution of each shaft.4/6 discharge
    stroke per revolution of driving shaft.
    Principle of operation
    ➲ No internal compression or reduction of gas
    volume inside the blower.
    ➲ Compression will take place by back flow in
    to the casing from the discharge line.
    ➲Pressure is not developed inside the blower
    but by the demand of the system
    ➲ Water cooling is provided for the pressure
    above 5000 mm wg.
    Application of blower
    • Develop pressure
    • Takes air from atmosphere and transports
    it the system of high
    pressure(e.g)Pneumatic pumping
    • Create vacuum
    • Sucks air from the system and discharges
    to atmosphere. (e.g) Vacuum pump
    Construction details
    Accessories
    ➲ Inlet air filter-to remove the dust.
    ➲ Silencers- to absorb the sound
    generated.
    ➲ Non-return valve- to permit the flow in
    one direction only.
    ➲ Safety valve-to protect the machine
    from excessive increase in pressure.
    Safety valve
    Operating instruction
    ➲ Check the blower & pipe line and
    ensure no foreign material.
    ➲ Check the oil level.
    ➲ Rotate the blower by hand to ensure
    free movement.
    ➲ Check the direction of motor.
    ➲ Fix v-belt and check tightness.
    Operating instruction
    ➲ Start the blower on No-load and check
    for abnormal sound.
    ➲ Run the blower for 15-20 minutes on
    No-load condition.
    ➲ Gradually load the blower.
    Operation of Blower
    • 1.Air just entered into the right side
    • 2.Some more air entered to the right side
    • 3.Part of the air trapped by lower rotor and
    it is ready for being swept to outlet side
    • 4.Trapped air is being swept towards
    outlet
    Operation
    Dismantling the blower
    ➲ Remove the pulley / coupling.
    ➲ Drain the oil.
    ➲ Remove the end covers.
    ➲ Remove the gears.
    ➲ Remove the bearings.
    ➲ Remove the side covers / plates.
    ➲ Remove the rotors.
    ➲ Clean all the parts.
    Assembling the blower
    ➲Fix the rotor, side plate and bearings.
    ➲Set the clearance -end clearance,lobe to
    lobe clearance and lobe to casing
    clearance.
    ➲Fix the gear wheel.
    ➲Fix the covers and fill the oil.
    ➲Fix the pulley / coupling.
    Clearance
    • 1.End clearance-between casing and
    rotor. By adjusting the thickness of
    injection ring or by providing shims in
    between rotor and casing.
    • 2. Lobe clearance-between rotors. By
    adjusting the gear wheel
    • 3. Tip clearance- inlet, outlet and center
    clearance. By adjusting the side plates.
    Clearance
    Trouble Shooting
    ➲ No air flow. ➲ Check the speed.
    ➲ Check the direction of
    rotation.
    ➲ Obstruction in piping.
    ➲ Check the speed.
    ➲ Low capacity. ➲ Check the flow path.
    ➲ Check alignment.
    ➲ Vibration. ➲ Check lobe clearance.
    ➲ Check bearings/gears.
    Trouble Shooting.
    ➲ Excessive power ➲ Check the speed.
    consumption. ➲ Check the flow path for
    high pressure.
    ➲ Check the clearance.
    ➲ Overheating of ➲ Check the oil level.
    bearing and ➲ Check the flow path.
    gears. ➲ Check the alignment.
    ➲ Check the belt tension,
    slip.
