Aerotech belt cover

[ronbeatty]

Could someone post a picture of the belt cover on the newer A/T. I am going to remove the STUPID insulated cover that Blueline built. The blower being covered retains to much heat.

no body listens to Jim........

when that machine first came out I told ya the only real problem was going to be the heat the cover held in...and that fan was not going to help it one bit......then other fans were added to help it out and I told ya that was not going to work......those monster blowers have got to breath.....they put off way to much heat........whats it doing.....cooking the oil...seals....or just way over heating..........

 

[ronbeatty]

I should have listened

Jim, what would you do instead of the cover

 

[Jim Martin]

I don't remember what the cover was for.....I think it was to lower the noise level.......if that is the case then I would at least cut the top of the cover off so the blower can breath.....if it is hooked to an HX you still should get good heat from the exhaust...........

The cover on the blower was to retain heat in the blower so that the heat exchange would run hotter. I will post some pictures tomorrow, along with the thermal imaging pictures of the blower outlet temp exceeding 300 degrees.

Ok, I've completely ripped apart my CZ and ruger so I'm not afraid to hang some shit on that.


thanks

What if you just removed the top cover? I bet you will notice no drops in cleaning temps and maybe a 1-2% noise incease. IMO

This is the outlet temp on the TI 850 under the cover at 40 degrees outdoor temp. I'll find out what is is at 90 degrees.

Funny thing is when I noted four years ago that the yellow "HAT 7000" blower was actually a kryloned TI-850 SLY started WW3 trying to get me booted from here.
