OVERHAUL-TIMING BLOWER ROTORS (Cont)
f.
Time the rotors as follows:
Time the rotors to have from .002"
to .006" clearance between the
trailing edge of the right hand
helix rotor and the leading edge of
the left hand helix rotor ("C" or
"CC" clearance) measured from both
the inlet and outlet sides as shown
above and below. If possible, keep
this clearance to the minimum
(.002"). Then, check the clearance
between the leading edge of the
right hand helix rotor and the
trailing edge of the left hand helix
rotor ("C" clearance) for the
minimum clearance of (.012").
Rotor-to-rotor measurements should
be taken 1" from each end and at the
center of the blower.
NOTE
If the proper clearances cannot be obtained between the rotors, a mix of the
former and current rotors, which have a different helix angle, may have
occurred.
