Installation,Operation and Maintenance Manual
4.1 Operating Notes
14
Do not to operate the fan more than three minutes when it blows inadequately,
otherwise the inside temperature of the fan rises, and it shall cause mal-function
and damages at the fan.
Do not operate the fan (blower) for more than three minutes in its surging region.
Increases in vibration cause trouble.
Operate the fan (blower) at loads exceeding the rated output of the driving motor.
Continued overloading causes trouble.
NOTICE •
•
•
It is desirable that the fan (blower) be operated in the vicinity of its design flow rate. It may however become
absolutely necessary to operate the fan (blower) at low flow rate. If this is the case, the characteristics of the fan
(blower) must be thoroughly understood before operating it.
If the fan (blower) handles a hot gas or a gas significantly differing from air in terms of density
When the fan (blower) is started using normal-temperature air, overloaded operation may continue until the
required temperature or density has been reached. Therefore, reduce the degree of opening of the dampers or
suction vanes or operate the fan (blower) in the bypass operation, blow-off operation, or deceleration operation.
■
If the fan (blower) is to be operated at low flow rate
If the fan (blower) is to be operated at low flow rate, surging or rotational stalling may occur and increase
the vibration of the casing, bearings, or ducting, or the low-frequency noise level. Extended operation under
these states causes damage to the casing, bearings, or ducting, cracking of the foundation concrete, or other
trouble. Therefore, increase the flow rate by either increasing the degree of opening of the dampers or suction
vanes or combining air restriction with bypass operation or blowoff operation.

4.4 Startup
Chapter 4 Operation (MAPEO_STDF199802)
18
To stop the machine immediately and start investigation of causes when any
abnormal condition appears.NOTICE •
Do not increase the temperature of gas rapidly when it reaches over 100℃. The
ratio of the rise in the temperature of gas shall be 50℃ per hour (not exceed
100℃ per hour).
Abrupt increases in temperature can cause increased vibration or collision
accidents since the differences in the degree of thermal expansion between
rotating parts result in imbalance.
NOTICE •
•
Star t up the equipment while checking plant safety. 1)
Operate necessary auxiliary equipment and make sure that the starting conditions for the fan (blower) are
established.
2)
Star t the fan (blower). 3)
Simultaneously with startup, check for internal contact, abnormal noise and vibration. 4)
In the case of the sliding bearing, check the oil ring for rotation.
(Remove the oil cover and check it by visual observation.)
If rotation is not smooth or horizontal unusual vibration is observed, these imply that the oil ring is deformed or
that the oil ring or the wall of the bearing groove has rotation- obstructing flaws or is not smooth or flat.
Therefore, check for these defects and if any is found, remove the cause(s).
■
After the specified speed has been reached, gradually open the suction damper (or suction vane) or discharge
damper.
In this case, ensure that the surge area will be passed through in the shortest possible time.
The current value will undergo drastic change in the surge area. Observing the ammeter, open the suction
damper (or suction vane) or discharge damper quickly.
5)
After startup, check for bearing vibration, bearing temperature and noise every 5 to 10 minutes until bearing
temperature is stabilized. Make sure that there is no abnormal temperature rise.
6)
For a fan (blower) that handles a hot gas, if the starting temperature of the fan (blower) is lower than the gas
temperature, increased shaft output may cause overloaded operation. Reduce the degree of opening of the
dampers or suction vanes to operate the fan (blower) in that case. Operation with reduced damper or suction
vane angle, however, may cause surging or rotational stalling. In that case, either combine air restriction with
bypass operation or blow-off operation or reduce the revolutions.
■
! WARNING During operation, keep hands away from all rotating parts such as the shaft,
heat slinger, coupling, and V-belts. Contact causes serious injury.

The improper heat expansion (restriction of heat expansion) at shafts and
casings shall make them touch and grind, and it may cause unusual vibration,
improper temperature increase at bearings, etc.
When this phenomenon observed, to stop increasing the gas temperature, and
to check any parts fused, except pre-fixed sections.
NOTICE •
Notes on turning
If the opening of the suction damper (or suction vane) or discharge damper is
excessive during turning, rotation may be reversed by flow of air. Gradually open
the damper or suction vane so that rotation will not be reversed.
NOTICE •
To make "Turning" before re-start of fan(blower) absolutely because it becomes
to cause of vibration increase, bearing damage, foundation damage & contact
accident if operation continues at condition of shaft bending or un-balance.
To ensure that temperature of various parts of the rotating member is kept almost
constant, slightly open the suction damper (suction vane) or discharge damper.
Feed high temperature gas and turn the rotating member; then start the
operation.

The shaft elongates in the axial direction, starting from the bearing on the thrust side.
a)
Casing, etc.
Thermal elongation in the axial direction and the direction perpendicular to it will occur over the sliding plate,
starting from the fixed point in the following sketch.
Thermal elongation in the vertical direction will occur, starting from the casing installation surface.
b)
Make sure that, in the process of temperature rise, elongation due to thermal expansion proceeds in the
anticipated direction.
When operation is restarted after a long-time stoping(2 to 3 hours or more) in handling high temperature gas,
imbalance and shaft bending may be caused by differences in cooling speeds of various parts of the rotating
member. This requires turning before startup.

Chapter 5 Maintenance and Inspection (MAPEM_STDF199802)
27
Lubricating oil is most important for fan (blower) operation and maintenance. Fan durability and parts
replacement intervals greatly depend on lubricating oil quality under the same conditions.
1)
Lubricating oil used in the test operation must be replaced with new one within three months. 2)
Use the lubricating oil specified in the appended "Lubricating Oil List". 1)
Use of lubricating oil of different brand may give an adverse effect to bearing service life and bearing
temperature. Before using it, check lubrication performances with the lubricating oil manufacturer.
2)
For supply of lubricating oil and replacement intervals, see the appended "Lubricating Oil List". 3)
When replacing lubricating oil, check and maintain the bearing at the same time.
For adjustment of the clearance between the impeller and suction cone (axial direction and the direction
perpendicular to it) and the clearance between the shaft and casing shaft through hole and coupling alignment
accompanying the maintenance and inspection, see "Assembly" in 3.2 to be discussed earlier.
4)
Lubricating oil must be replaced with sufficient care taken not to allow entry of foreign substances.

6.2 Bearing temperature rise
31
1)
It can be said generally that seizure does not occur easily even at a high temperature if temperature is stable.
Sufficient care must be taken of the relationship between oil temperature and bearing temperature, and a sudden
rise of bearing temperature.
2)
If there is a sudden rise of stabilized temperature, care must be taken even if the absolute value
of temperature is small. It will be necessary to check to find out the causes.
3)
It is often said that the bearing temperature measured on the bearing housing must not exceed "ambient
temperature + 40 degrees Celsius or less". However, it depends on the measuring position, ambient temperature,
the relationship with coolant temperature, and viscosity of the lubricating oil; it cannot be determined unilaterally.
It is recommended to determine the permissible temperature according to the lubrication method, measuring
method and ambient conditions, without sticking to the principle of "ambient temperature + 40 degrees Celsius".
