8. Operational Characteristics and Construction
8.1 Operational Characteristics
To develop pressure and move air, two bi-lobe rotors, synchronized by a pair of timing
gears, rotate in opposite directions in two cylindrical bores within housing.
A defined quantity of air entering the inlet port is trapped between the rotor and the
housing and is carried over to the discharge port against the pressure from the application.
The pressure developed depends upon the resistance of the system as well as the inlet and
discharge pressures.
Each trapped volume occurs two times every revolution for each rotor, commonly referred
to as the volume flow per revolution. Multiplying this by the shaft speed will define the flow
rate entering the inlet port. Changing the rotational speed directly affects the volume flow.
Simultaneously, the synchronized rotors and housing serve to prevent back flow by the
close proximity of the rotors to one another and the proximity of the rotors to the housing.

Because there is no contact between the rotors and the case, there is no wear and no
lubrication is required. (Oil/Grease is required to lubricate the bearings and gear). The lack of
contact means that some leakage occurs and the rate is directly related to the pressure
differential between ports. As the pressure differential increases, the leakage rate increases.
Furthermore, as the leakage rate increases the adiabatic efficiency decreases, increasing the
discharge temperature and power requirement.
The net flow rate and efficiency is then dependent upon the shaft speed, volume flow per
revolution, and leakage rate at the operational pressure point.
8.2 Construction
As described in operating characteristics 8.1, each blower is constructed for a specific
volume flow rate per revolution and is defined by design and rotor length. The ZZ Series
offers (8) eight models to choose from. Each model offers a variety of flow rates by changing
the rotational speed.
To maximize efficiency, materials and clearances are chosen to maintain minimal
clearance but reliable operation up to a limiting pressure differential, due to thermal overload.
Thermal overload is a point at which the blower cannot dissipate enough heat (thermal energy)
to maintain design clearances due to thermal expansion and deformation.
The drive shaft, located on only one rotor, can be driven in both directions and is suitable
for direct or belt driven. Directly coupling the motor to the driveshaft allows for maximum
power transmission.

9. Installation and Design Requirements
9.1. Installation Requirements
Always operate rotary blowers in a dry and dust free environment.
Most ZZ blowers are shipped from the factory in the vertical flow configuration.
According to installation requirements, a ZZ blower can be used in the vertical flow
configuration with the drive shaft on either the right or left side; or in the horizontal flow
configuration with the drive shaft in the top or bottom position. You must relocating the oil
level gauge, breather, Plugs, plug magnetic, lifting lugs and mounting feet to the proper
position. When changing the flow configuration, from vertical to horizontal or from
horizontal to vertical, the mounting feet must be removed and rotated 90° so the side that
was originally bolted to the blower becomes the base of the foot in the rotated position.
As shown in 8.3 and 8.4.
Mount the rotary blower on a stable,
flat base: uneven mounting can cause
stress on the housing
Leave the flanged ports blanked off until the piping can be installed on the inlet and outlet
flanges to prevent foreign particles and/or contamination from entering the blower.
Be sure to support the weight of the pipe work, inlet and discharge silencers, and any other
connected components that are attached to the rotary blower. Do not rely on the connections
with rotary blower unit to support the weight of these various components.
To isolate vibrations, only flexible pipe connections can be used when connecting the rotary
blower to the rest of the system.
