Analysis of Impeller-to-Impeller Friction Faults in Roots Blowers

Causes of the fault:


⑴ Contaminants or debris on the impellers, resulting in insufficient clearance;


⑵ Gear wear, leading to excessive backlash;


⑶ Loose gear fixation, preventing the impellers from remaining synchronized;


⑷ Bearing wear, resulting in increased internal clearance.


Solutions:


⑴ Remove contaminants and inspect internal components for damage;


⑵ Adjust gear backlash; if the gear backlash exceeds the average value by 30%–50%, the gears should be replaced;


⑶ Reassemble the gears, ensuring that the contact area for the tapered fit reaches at least 75%;


⑷ Replace the bearings.
