BLOWER MODEL 600A
I - BLOWER HOUSING
The centrifugal blower housing consists of an inlet head with special feature to direct air to inlet of first impeller and outlet head of special design to eliminate friction and multiple intermediate sections. These parts are made in cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48-35B) according to rigid Continental Industrie specifications, extreme care to be exercised in assembly of interlocking cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48-35B) intermediate sections and integral annular diffusers (baffles).
The heads are provided with integral mounting legs and rugged tie-rod lugs. The entire assembly is securely held together actually with multiple tension rods which bind the entire housing into a solid integral unit.
1.0 Inlet head
1.1 Flange connection DN 600, PN 10 (24”)
1.2 Cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48-35B)
1.3 Minimum wall thickness: 13 mm (0.5”)
1.4 Can be supplied in various flange positions relative to the vertical centre line in increments of 90° (option)
2.0 Outlet head
2.1 Flange connection DN 500, PN 10 (20”).
2.2 Cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48-35B).
2.3 Minimum wall thickness: 13 mm (0.5”)
2.4 Can be supplied in various flange positions relative to the vertical centre line in increments of 90° (option)
2.5 Has eight integrally cast reinforcing ribs surrounding the volute contour and joining up to the bearing housing mounting face for strength and to minimize vibration.
2.6 Has pipe connection to vent balancing piston leakage to inlet.
3.0 Intermediate section
3.1 Cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48-35B).
3.2 Each intermediate section is cast in one piece
3.3 Each section has twenty two evenly spaced integrally cast ribs for increased strength. Increased surface area allows for proper heat dissipation.

4.0 Bearing housing
The outboard bearing housings are cast iron and bolted to the outside of the head sections insuring cool operation of bearings.
4.1 Cast iron EN-GJL-250 (ASTM A48-35B).
4.2 Heat treated to relieve internal stresses and minimize distortion.
4.3 Two cored openings are provided to allow circulation of air (except for gas).
4.4 Has cast fins to improve rigidity and increase heat dissipation
4.5 Labyrinth type oil seal. Oil passages are generously sized to allow optimum recirculation.
4.6 Has air vent and magnetic plug at the bottom of the oil reservoir.
4.7 Provided with 4 tapped holes in the housing flange to act as bearing puller.
N.B.: When the inlet air or gas temperature is too high, we can adapt as option special bearing housings with a water or air cooling system (technical drawing on request).
5.0 Bearings
5.1 The rotor assembly is supported by 2 heavy duty oil lubricated ball bearings, single row, sized to withstand the thrust load also type SKF or FAG.
5.2 Sized for minimum 10 years of operation (Direct Drive only), following SKF L10 bearing life calculation method.
5.3 Bearings are mounted in outboard type bearing housings and located so that bearings may be serviced without disassembling the blower casing or piping.
6.0 Shaft
6.1 42CrMo4 (AISI 4140) carbon steel shaft, heat treated, straightened and stress­releved
6.2 Shaft is ground all over
6.3 Stiff shaft design to minimize vibration
6.4 The diameter of the shaft end is 95 mm (3.74”)
7.0 Shaft seals
7.1 Shaft sealing is accomplished using carbon ring seals.
8.0 Impellers
8.1 The impellers are fabricated in aluminium shrouds, fixed on a rigid hub in cast aluminium.
8.2 For minimum corrosion all aluminium alloys are non copper alloys
8.3 The outer diameter of the impeller is 915 mm (36”)
8.4 Each impeller is statically balanced.
8.5 Impeller tip speed: 172 m/sec (562 FPS) at 3600 rpm.
8.6 First critical speed (6 stages) 3725 rpm.
8.7 Impeller assembly: to consist of a heavy steel shaft accurently machined and one or more fabricated aluminium impeller(s), statically balanced, securely keyed to shaft and held in place by lock washers and locknuts.
