RCS 800 Positive Displacement Blowers

RCS rotary blowers are heavy duty units designed with integral shaft ductile iron impellers having an involute profile. The headplates, gear cover, end cover and rigid, one piece casing are grey iron. Carburized and ground alloy steel spur timing gears are taper mounted on the shafts, secured with a locknut. Cylindrical roller bearings are used on the drive end with ball bearings on the gear end.

Operating Principle

Two figure-eight lobe impellers mounted on parallel shafts rotate in opposite directions. As each impeller passes the blower inlet, it traps a finite volume of air and carries it around the case to the blower outlet, where the air is discharged. With constant speed operation the displaced volume is essentially the same regardless of pressure, temperature or barometric pressure. Timing gears control the relative position of the impellers to each other and maintain small, but defined, clearances. This allows operation without lubrication being required inside the air casing.
