Content:
Q1: Why is blower installation height important?
A: Blowers must be installed above tank level to prevent back pressure, overheating, and oil leakage.

Q2: What’s the ideal discharge pressure range?
A: Operate below 0.4 kg/cm² for best results, even if rated up to 0.7 kg/cm², to avoid overheating.

Q3: What are the must-do steps during erection?
A: Check shaft rotation, oil level, belt alignment, suction filters, and use correct piping with PRV & NRV.

Q4: Can I use any lubricant?
A: No. Use recommended SAE 90/140 oil and high-temp grease (40°C–120°C).

Q5: How do I avoid overheating in continuous operation?
A: Use timer or temperature-based PLCs to alternate between two blowers automatically.

Q6: What are common mistakes in piping?
A: Avoid pipe size reductions, sharp bends, and long vertical upward discharge. Use correct header sizing.

Q7: What maintenance routine should I follow?
A: Daily—check oil; Weekly—inspect filters; Monthly—lubricate & check belts; Annually—gear & seal inspection.

Q8: What other industries use these blowers?
A: Aquaculture, cement, sugar, chemical, food, and electroplating sectors.
