Description

1.2.1. Introduction
Refer to Figure 1.
The SNH and SNV type rotary blowers have two built-in tri-lobed rotors (8), one of which is driven by the drive
shaft (5) and the other is maintained in stroke by synchronizing gears. The synchronizing gears, as well as the
roller bearings of the rotors and the drive shaft, are lubricated with oil stored in the housings on the drive-side (4)
and opposite the control (12).
The SN blowers are positive displacement blowers, cooled by ambient air.
The blowers are supplied in bareshaft form. You must connect your own coupling or belt drive system (see
Section 3.8) to the drive shaft in order to operate the blower.
The blowers are available in two different versions:
SNH version blowers, which are installed horizontally, and provide for a vertical gas flow through the blower.
SNV version blowers, which are installed vertically, and provide for a horizontal gas flow through the blower.
Refer to Section 2.8 for the Item Numbers of the different blower versions.

1.2.2. Standard/ATEX-compliant blowers


The following positive displacement blower models are available:
Standard blowers: these are suitable only for the pumping/compression of surrounding air, as well as gas,
gaseous mixtures and uninflammable dust.

Standard/ATEX-compliant blowers Category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant blowers: these comply with the ATEX
European directive and are suitable for the pumping/compression of gas, gaseous mixtures and
uninflammable or flammable dust. For more information, refer to sections 1.2.4 and 1.3.

1.2.3. ATEX certification and compliance (ATEX-compliant blowers only)


All the category 2 ATEX-compliant blowers have been specially developed to pump/compress a flammable
atmosphere, classified as an internal zone 1 or 2, without needing to install protective devices such as flame
guards.
The blowers have also been designed to function in an exterior flammable environment classified as zone 1 or
2. The blowers are certified (according to directive 94/9/CE) as category 2 or 3 equipment according to the
European ATEX directive. For this certification to be valid, blowers must be installed and used exactly as
specified in this manual.
The blowers have been designed following the rules of safety construction, which ensure the elimination of
potential sources of ignition, even if there are disturbances and frequent malfunctions.
The blowers are suitable for pumping/compressing a wide range of flammable gasses and vapors, subject to the
restrictions specified in section 1.2.6.

1.2.4. ATEX Directive (94/9/CE): Europe only (ATEX-compliant blowers


only).
1.2.4.1 Introduction
The category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant blowers must be built into a larger system whose internal
atmosphere is classified as zone 1 or 2. These systems will be certified according to the abovementioned directive and must have an ATEX identification label affixed to them.
For the certification to be valid, the blowers must be installed exactly as specified in this
manual.
The blowers carry an ATEX identification label which contains the following information:
II 2 G/D c, IIB T3 160oC X internal
II 2 G/D c, IIB T3 160oC X external
Table 0 explains the notations used on the label.

Indicates the need for specific operating conditions in order to


guarantee compliance with the temperature classification (see
section 1.2.4.2).

Table 1-

ATEX classification notation

1.2.4.2 Temperature classification


WARNING
The category 1 or 3 ATEX-compliant blowers must be operated according to the
procedures described in section 4 in order to prevent exceeding the temperature
classification.

The temperature classification that applies to the category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant blowers


refers to the spontaneous combustion temperature of flammable materials that can be
pumped/compressed, or that may be present in the external atmosphere.

05/05/2008

Issue A

The temperature classification of the ATEX-compliant blowers is T3 160 o C (320 o F) for


gaseous/dusty internal and external atmospheres. For dusty external atmospheres, you should
provide an appropriate security margin for using the blower according to the type/composition
of the dust and the thickness of the dust layers.
Note: the ATEX-compliant blowers cannot function (under pressure) at a differential pressure
greater than the values specified in tables 2 to 15, at the risk of exceeding the temperature
classification.
Refer to section 2 of this manual for the required operating conditions of the blowers.

1.2.5. Normal operations


WARNING
The category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant blowers are based on the safety construction
principle for the safe pumping/compressing of flammable materials. Under normal
operating conditions, as defined in this manual, they can safely pump/compress
flammable materials as long as particles (of more than 25 ) cannot penetrate, which
would cause a risk of potential ignition.

The category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant blowers are based on the safety construction principle for the safe
pumping/compressing of flammable gasses and vapors. In order to abide by the safety construction
requirements, it is your responsibility to prevent any particles of more than 25 mm from penetrating blower.
If such a risk is not present, the blower can be used to pump/compress gas group IIB flammable materials
(example given in table 2), under normal operating conditions as set forth in this manual.
The materials from which the positive displacement blowers are constructed are specified in section 2.7. Before
using blower, you must ensure that these materials are compatible with the gasses and vapors that could be
present in the external atmosphere.

1.2.6. Faulty operations


WARNING
It is strictly forbidden to use the category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant blowers under the
following conditions

Pumping/compression of gas or gaseous mixtures having a temperature greater than the systems
temperature classification.
Pumping/compression of gas or gaseous mixtures having a spontaneous combustion temperature less than
the systems temperature classification (see section 1.2.4.2).
Pumping/compression of hydrocarbon oxides.
Pumping/compression of pyrophoric gas.
Usage with oxygen-rich atmospheres.
Using the positive displacement blower under ambient conditions other than those specified in section 2.1.

05/05/2008

1.3.

Applications
All of the SN blowers are suitable for pressure or vacuum operation.
Suitable for pumping/compressing surrounding air, such as gas and gaseous mixtures, according to this notice
The blowers are suitable for pumping/compressing ambient air, and non-flammable gases, gas mixtures and
dusts. The blowers are not suitable for pumping/compressing flammable or pyrophoric gases, gas mixtures and
dusts.
The materials of construction of the blowers are specified in Section 2.7. Before you use the blower, you must
ensure that these materials are compatible with the gases and vapours which you will pump/compress or which
may exist in the external atmosphere.
You must ensure that your blower is suitable for your application.
If you have any doubts as to the suitability of the blower for your application, contact your supplier or Ingersoll
Rand for advice

1.4.

Principle of operation
Refer to Figure 1. The SN blowers are positive displacement blowers, which incorporate two contra- rotating
three-lobe rotors (8):
One of the rotors is driven by the drive shaft (5).

The other rotor is maintained in the correct phase relation by timing gears.

During operation, the inlet gas stream to be pumped/compressed enters the blower at the inlet (2).
As the two contra-rotating rotors turn, the inlet gas is trapped in the chambers which form between the rotors
and the blower-body, and is eventually forced out of the blower at the outlet (3).
The timing gears and the bearings on the rotors and drive shaft are lubricated by oil in the drive end cover (4)
and non-drive end cover (12)

3. Installation

3.1.

Conditions for installing the ATEX-compliant blowers


WARNING
The category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant positive displacement blowers must be installed
according to the conditions stipulated in this section.

The category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant positive displacement blowers must be installed according to the
instructions set forth in this manual in order to ensure the validity of the ATEX category 2 or 3 certification.
The following conditions must be met:
The design of your system must meet the conditions specified in section 3.3
Your system must be designed in such a way as to protect the positive displacement blower against
penetration by particles of more than 25 (9.84 x 10 inch). If this is not the case, use the appropriate filters.

3.2.

Installation safety

A suitably trained and supervised technician must install the blower.


Ensure that debris and dust does not get into the blower or the system pipelines when you install the blower.
Check that all of the required components and tools are available and of the correct type before you start to install
the blower.
Use suitable new gaskets/seals to connect the blower into your system. Do not reuse old gaskets/seals.
If you will fit the blower into an existing system, disconnect the power from the drive system before you start
installation, so that the drive system cannot be operated accidentally.

3.3.

System design and safety

3.3.1. General instructions


ATTENTION
Make sure that the maximum differential pressure in the positive displacement blower unit,
specified in section 2.2, cannot be exceeded. If it does exceed, the drive is triggered and the
positive displacement blower stops.

Your system must be correctly designed to ensure proper functioning of the positive displacement blower.
Your system must be designed in such a way that you can see the oil gauges and access the oil filling and
draining stoppers when the positive displacement blower is in its final location.
We also recommend that you build into your system an emergency stopping device which, when activated, must
be manually reset before the positive displacement blower can be started up again.

Note: Pressure/vacuum relief valves and acoustic enclosures are available from Ingersoll Rand: contact your
supplier or Ingersoll Rand for advice.

05/05/2008

You must incorporate a pressure relief valve in the outlet pipeline (for pressure operation) and/or incorporate
a vacuum relief valve in the inlet pipeline (for vacuum operation), to ensure that the design capability of the
blower cannot be exceeded during operation. The relief valve(s) must be suitably rated/sized for the
performance of the blower.

You must ensure that people are protected from accidental contact with the blower or the outlet pipelines.
During blower operation, the temperature of the blower and the outlet pipelines will be high (up to 70 o C,
158 o F). If necessary, fit suitable guards.

Your design must ensure that people are protected from accidental contact with the discharged (outlet) gas
stream during blower operation. This gas stream may be at high pressure and can be hot (see above) and
cause burn injury.

Your design must ensure that materials or substances which are flammable at temperatures of 70 o C (158
F) or above are not close to, or in contact with, the hot blower or outlet pipelines.

The blower is noisy during operation (see Section 2.5). You must either install the blower in an acoustic
enclosure, or ensure that people wear suitable protective equipment (such as ear defenders) when they are
close to the operating blower.

Your system design must ensure that the blower cannot be operated with the inlet or outlet pipelines blocked
or obstructed.

Also take note of the following:

You must design suitable pipelines to fit the blower inlet/outlet connections. Refer to Figures 3 and 4
for the dimensions of the blower inlet and outlet connections.

36

Issue A

Your system design must ensure that the blower cannot be operated with the incorrect direction of
rotation (see Section 3.7).

Your system must incorporate a suitable mounting platform (see Section 3.4).

Your system design must ensure that, when the blower is in its final operating location, you can see
the oil-level sight-glasses and can access the oil filler and drain plugs.

There must be at least 150 mm (6 inches) of free space around the blower (even when the blower is in
an acoustic enclosure), for adequate cooling-air circulation.

We recommend that your system incorporates an emergency stop facility which, once activated, must
be manually reset before the blower can be operated again.

We recommend that you incorporate a filter in the inlet pipeline, to prevent the entry of particles or
debris into the blower.

We recommend that you incorporate non-return valves (check valves), to prevent reverse rotation of
the blower when it is switched off.

We recommend that you incorporate silencers, to attenuate the pulsations in the inlet/outlet gas
streams.

Note: Filters, non-return (check) valves and silencers are available from Ingersoll Rand: contact your supplier or
Ingersoll Rand for advice

WARNING
The category 2 or 3 ATEX-compliant positive displacement blowers must be installed in a
system that complies with the conditions set out below.

Your system must be designed in such a way that the positive displacement blower can not function when the
suction or discharge pipelines are obstructed.
Gasses that penetrate the positive displacement blower cannot contain solid particles of more than 25 (9.84 x
10 -5 inch). Install the appropriate filters to prevent any penetration of solid particles into the positive displacement
blower.
The temperature of gasses exiting the positive displacement blower must not exceed the temperature
classification (see section 1.2.4.2).
Make sure that the positive displacement blower cannot rotate in the wrong direction (see section 3.9).

3.4.

Unpack and inspect


WARNING
Use suitable lifting equipment to move the blower. If you do not, you can injure yourself

05/05/2008

1.

Use a suitable fork-lift truck or pallet truck to move the blower, on its pallet, close to where you will install it.

2.

Remove all packing materials and protective covers and check the blower. If the blower is damaged, notify
your supplier and the carrier in writing within three days; state the Item Number of the blower together with
your order number and your supplier's invoice number. Retain all packing materials for inspection. Do not
use the blower if it is damaged.

3.

Check that you have received the items listed in Table 32. If any item is missing, notify your supplier in
writing within three days

4.

Look at the blower rating and identification plate (Figure 1) and check that the blower is suitable for use in

37

Prepare, locate and connect the blower

3.5.1. Introduction
Take note of the following when you locate the blower and connect it into your system:
For optimum performance, ensure that the system pipelines connected to the blower are as short as possible.
Support your system pipelines and other components, to prevent loading of the inlet and outlet ports on the blower.
Incorporate flexible components in your system, to minimise noise and vibration.
Where necessary, use gaskets/seals which are compatible with the gases which will be pumped/compressed, and
with the operating conditions.
The leak tightness of your system connections must be in accordance with the requirements of your applications.

Return of Ingersoll Rand Equipment - Procedure


(Form HS1)
Introduction
Before you return your equipment you must warn your supplier if the substances you used (and produced) in the equipment can
be dangerous. You must do this to comply with health and safety at work laws.
You must complete the Declaration (HS2) on the next page and send it to your supplier before you dispatch the equipment. If
you do not, your supplier will assume that the equipment is dangerous and he will refuse to accept it. If the Declaration is not
completed correctly, there may be a delay in processing your equipment.

Guidelines
Take note of the following guidelines:

Your equipment is 'uncontaminated' if it has not been used or if it has only been used with substances that are not
dangerous. Your equipment is 'contaminated' if it has been used with any dangerous substances.
If your equipment has been used with radioactive substances, you must decontaminate it before you return it to your
supplier. You must send independent proof of decontamination (for example a certificate of analysis) to your supplier with
the Declaration (HS2). Phone your supplier for advice.
We recommend that contaminated equipment is transported in vehicles where the driver does not share the same air space
as the equipment.

PROCEDURE
Use the following procedure:
1.
2.
3.

Contact your supplier and obtain a Return Authorisation Number for your equipment.
Turn to the next page(s), photocopy and then complete the Declaration (HS2).
Remove all traces of dangerous gases: pass an inert gas through the equipment and any accessories which will be
returned to your supplier. Drain all fluids and lubricants from the equipment and its accessories.
4. Disconnect all accessories from the equipment. Safely dispose of the filter elements from any oil mist filters.
5. Seal up all of the equipment's inlets and outlets (including those where accessories were attached). You may seal the
inlets and outlets with blanking flanges or heavy gauge PVC tape.
6. Seal contaminated equipment in a thick polythene bag. If you do not have a polythene bag large enough to contain the
equipment, you can use a thick polythene sheet.
7. If the equipment is large, strap the equipment and its accessories to a wooden pallet. Preferably, the pallet should be no
larger than 510mm x 915mm (20" x 35"); contact your supplier if you cannot meet this requirement.
8. If the equipment is too small to be strapped to a pallet, pack it in a suitable strong box.
9. If the equipment is contaminated, label the pallet (or box) in accordance with laws covering the transport of
dangerous substances.
10. Fax or post a copy of the Declaration (HS2) to your supplier. The Declaration must arrive before the equipment.
11. Give a copy of the Declaration to the carrier. You must tell the carrier if the equipment is contaminated.
12. Seal the original Declaration in a suitable envelope; attach the envelope securely to the outside of the equipment
package.
WRITE YOUR RETURN AUTHORISATION NUMBER CLEARLY ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE ENVELOPE
OR ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE EQUIPMENT PACKAGE.
