Our aim is to design a R.G Blower in which instead of the grid coupling, a bush pin coupling is used so as to reduce the degree of blower failures due to the failure of a coupling. By doing so the work labour and manpower is reduced to half the amount when used with a grid coupling.
The failure of the R.G. Blower occurs due to the failing of the coupling used in the blower. Presently Grid Coupling is used in the blower. A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts together at their ends for the purpose of transmitting power. Couplings do not normally allow disconnection of shafts during operation , however there are torque limiting couplings which can slip or disconnect when some torque limit is exceeded. The primary purpose of couplings is to join two pieces of rotating equipment while permitting some degree of misalignment or end movement or both. By careful selection, installation and maintenance of couplings, substantial savings can be made in reduced maintenance costs and downtime.
