Foreword
Thank you for purchasing ITO products.
This manual is a user`s guide for the following ITO blower models: IRS(IRW)-80B, IRS(IRW)-
100A, IRS(IRW)-125A, IRS-125BIRS(IRW)-125F, IRS(IRW)-150A, IRS(IRW)-200A, IRS-200B,
IRS(IRW)-200F, IRS(IRW,IRT)-200C, IRS(IRW,IRT)-250A, and IRS-300A.
Blowers are designed so that atmospheric pressure is maintained on the suction side, and pressure
higher than the atmospheric one is maintained on the discharge side; for vacuum pumps, pressure
lower than the atompspheric one is maintained on the suction side, and atmospheric pressure is
maintained on the discharge side. Hereafter in this manual, blowers and vacuum pumps are collec-
tively called “Blowers.” Before using the ITO blower, read this manual thoroughly to understand its
structure, functions, and procedures for its long, safe, and trouble-free operation.

Safety Precautions - Read First -

CAUTION
After all protective covers are removed from blower openings, make sure that
foreign objects do not enter the blower.
Foreign objects may result in blower seize or damage in the casing.

Foundation must be constructed by experienced personnel.


Improper foundation may cause blower vibration and noise.

To install multiple blowers on the common floor, isolate blowers separately by


different foundations.
The common foundation for multiple blowers may cause blower resonance and more noise.

For a safety valve with its discharge side facing upstream of the blower, attach a
cooler.
Hot gas may lead to damage in the casing.

For blowers conveying air or gas containing a lot of dust, mount a filter on the
suction side to prevent a blower from blocking.
Foreign objects may enter the blower resulting in blower seize or damage in the casing.

If the suction side piping is curved, install a drain separator or drain puller.
Clogged drain may cause water hammer phenomena, resulting in blower damage.

For blowers equipped with an aftercooler, install a drain separator.


Condensed water may enter the piping line.

Support the piping adequately so that it does not apply much load to the blower
and the piping.

plied with the motor.
The jack bolt may be deformed or damaged.

When a suction strainer or a filter is clogged, clean it.


The suction pressure may fall into a vacuum state, leading to blower seize.

As for cooling water or seal water quality, conform to standard established by the
Japan Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Industry Association (JRA).
Piping may be clogged or the blower may be damaged.

Before turning on the electric power supply, open valves for piping fully.
Turning on the electric power supply with valves closed may cause damage in the casing.

For blowers with gas purges such as one mechanical seal type, follow the design
purge pressure specified in specifications.
Purge pressure exceeding the rated value may increase pressure abnormally in the side cover and
the oil case, and cause blower seize or damage in the casing.

Open the cock of the pressure gauge only when reading it.
Operating with the cock opened may cause damage to the pressure gauge.
