NYB Blower Alignment Checks
This procedure outlines the steps for performing quarterly alignment checks on NYB Blowers, ensuring all components are properly aligned and the area is safe and clean post-inspection.
Pre-Inspection Setup
Alignment Inspection
Measure Blower Housing Centering at Pillow Blocks
Using a tape measure, measure the distance from the outside edge of each pillow block bearing housing to the edge of the blower housing at all four measurement points (top, bottom, left, and right, or as applicable to the equipment configuration). Record each measurement and compare the values to verify the blower rotor and shaft assembly are centered within the housing.
When taking measurements:
if the answer is "oneOf [Record all measurements to the nearest 1/16 inch (or applicable site standard).]"
Record Measurements:
Is the alignment within the acceptable range?
Post-Inspection Tasks
Reinstall the Shaft cover.
Was the area cleaned after inspection?
NYB Blower Bearing Lubrication
This procedure outlines the steps for purging the bearings of an NYB blower, including inspection, cleaning, lubrication, and testing.
Preparation
Inspection and Cleaning
Inspect bearings and bushing
Lubrication
Remove the tubing from the grease injection points on each bearing to allow direct access to the grease fittings and to verify that grease can flow freely into the bearing. Inspect the tubing, fittings, and connectors for restrictions, hardened grease, contamination, damage, or blockages that could prevent proper lubrication.
if the answer is "noneOf [PASS]"
If any tubing is damaged, kinked, or plugged, replace it before returning the system to service.
This ensures hardened, contaminated, incompatible, or degraded grease is removed from the lubrication path and that the tubing is completely charged with fresh grease.
Visually inspect the discharged grease for signs of contamination, moisture, dirt, discoloration, or metal particles that could indicate lubrication or bearing issues.
Greasing a stationary bearing can rapidly build internal pressure, forcing grease against the seals and potentially causing seal damage or seal blowout. Excessive pressure can also lead to overheating, premature bearing failure, and reduced lubricant effectiveness. If shaft rotation cannot be achieved, stop the lubrication activity and consult maintenance supervision before proceeding
This also helps prevent contamination from being drawn back into the bearing.
The appearance of fresh grease confirms that old grease has been displaced and the bearing cavity has been replenished.
Vapor Seal Lubrication
The vapor seal lubrication point and the bearing grease fitting are separate components. Do not introduce anti-seize into the bearing grease fittings, grease lines, or bearing housing. Anti-seize contamination will damage the bearing lubricant, accelerate wear, and can lead to premature bearing failure. Bearings shall only be lubricated with Mobilgrease XHP 222 (Blue) grease.
The vapor seal is located between the bearing housing and the blower casing where the shaft enters the the housing. Its purpose is to prevent process vapors from migrating along the shaft and reaching the bearing assembly. The fitting closest to the fan housing is typically the vapor seal lubrication point. The fitting located on the bearing housing is the bearing grease fitting. Always verify fitting locations before adding any lubricant. Verify the correct lubrication point before applying lubricant.
Shaft Cover Install
Prior to reattaching the blower cover, inspect all mating surfaces, gaskets, O-rings, and sealing areas for damage, debris, corrosion, or residual gasket material. Clean the sealing surfaces as necessary to ensure a proper seal and prevent air leakage. Replace any damaged gaskets, O-rings, or sealing components before reassembly. Carefully position the blower cover onto the housing, ensuring it is properly aligned with the locating features and does not contact the rotor, shaft, or internal components during installation. Install all mounting hardware finger-tight initially to ensure the cover seats evenly against the housing. Tighten mounting bolts in a crisscross or star pattern to evenly distribute clamping force and prevent cover distortion. Torque all fasteners to the manufacturer's specification where applicable. Verify that no tools, rags, hardware, or foreign material remain inside the blower housing prior to fully securing the cover.
After the cover is installed:
Testing
Turn on the blower, let it run for 15 minutes, and take temperature of bearings. Bearing Temp should not exceed 200F in Ambient conditions.
Does the blower make unusual screeching sounds after the first 5 seconds of startup?
if the answer is "oneOf [Yes]"
