How do you adjust a Roots blower if it’s vibrating?

The Roots blower is a positive-displacement fan; therefore, during operation, its air volume remains constant. Even when the upstream pressure experiences slight fluctuations, it can continue to deliver air smoothly.
Roots blower It is a positive-displacement fan, so during operation, the air volume remains constant. Even if the upstream pressure experiences slight fluctuations, it can continue to deliver air smoothly.
After prolonged use, the air volume of a Roots blower will change, primarily resulting in a reduction in airflow. The main reason is that the clearances between the impeller, between the impeller and the wall plates, and between the impeller and the casing all change, leading to increased internal leakage and further affecting the blower’s air volume.
1. Design-related reasons: Roots blowers are typically designed based on factors such as the operating network environment, temperature, air volume, air pressure, and medium. The following influencing factors arise due to improper design management of the blower, poor dynamic performance characteristics, vibration during operation, unreasonable concentration of structural and pressure stresses, design research and development speeds approaching or entering a critical threshold, and inaccurate thermal expansion calculations, leading to poor thermal alignment.
2. Installation and Maintenance Considerations: The installation accuracy of Roots blowers plays a critical role in their operation. If the installation accuracy fails to meet the specified requirements, the operation of the Roots blower can become destructive. For instance, improper mechanical installation, misalignment of components, excessive preload; poor shaft alignment; incorrect adjustment of mating clearances, interference, and relative positions; improper rotor positioning timing, which compromises dynamic balance accuracy; and failure to perform maintenance according to prescribed procedures—all these factors can disrupt the original matching performance and machine accuracy.
4. Operating reason: In use Roots blower In the process, the maintenance and upkeep of the fan play a decisive role in managing the operational environment quality of Roots blowers. For example, if process parameters deviate from their designed values or machine operating conditions become abnormal; if the machine operates under overspeed or overload conditions, thereby altering its operational characteristics; if lubrication or cooling is inadequate; if the rotor suffers local damage or fouling; or if start-up, shutdown, or acceleration procedures are improperly handled—particularly critical steps—or if thermal expansion is uneven or the dwell time is excessively long.
5. Causes of machine aging: Once aging sets in, the service life of equipment typically shortens. With long-term operation of Roots blowers, rotor deflection increases or dynamic balance deteriorates; parts of the rotor may become damaged, detached, or broken; and components may suffer wear, pitting, or corrosion.
To ensure Roots blower For the normal operation of the blower, other components—such as bearings and gears—also play a very important role. Any abnormal failure in components that work in conjunction with the blower can significantly affect its performance. Therefore, in future use and maintenance, it’s not only crucial to carefully maintain the key components but also to regularly service all associated auxiliary components!
