Product Description
Tuthill 3206-17T3V M-D Pneumatics PD Plus Rotary Positive Displacement Blower
PN: 3206-17T3V
Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems model 3200 Series rotary lobe blowers are positive displacement type units, whose pumping capacity is determined by size, operating speed, and differential pressure conditions. Blowers employ rotors rotating in opposite directions within a housing closed at the ends by end plates.
Effective sealing of the inlet to the discharge is accomplished through the use of very small operating clearances. The resulting absence of moving contact eliminates the need for any internal lubrication.
Clearances between the rotors during rotation are maintained by a pair of accurately machined helical timing gears, mounted on the two shafts extended outside the air chamber. The intermeshing rotary lobes are designed to rotate and trap air or gas between each rotor and the housing. As the rotor lobes rotate past the edge of the suction port, the trapped air or gas is essentially at suction pressure and temperature. Since the blower is a constant volume device, the trapped air remains at suction pressure until the leading rotor lobe opens into the discharge port. The close clearances between the rotors inhibit back slippage of the trapped volume from between the rotors and the trapped volume is forced into the discharge piping. Compression occurs not internal to the blower, but by the amount of restriction, either downstream of the blower discharge port, or upstream of the blower inlet port.
Every booster from Tuthill Vacuum & Blower Systems is factory tested, oil drained and shipped dry to its installation point. Both independent oil reservoirs must be filled to the proper level before operation. Oil reservoirs are under vacuum.
