CAN YOU GET MORE THAN 24 INCHES OF LIFT

[The Cleaning Artist]

Not sure but I can check if there is a real reason.

 

[Larry Cobb]

Sure you can.

The question then becomes:

What CFM ?

How Long ?

Double your dose of viagra and youre good to go.

Roots has one that produces 1265 CFM with 27" lift...takes 212 hp to turn it though...Richard R

This should work for carpet cleaning....8" impellars, 361 CFM, 24 inches, and 38.8 horsepower...

Sorry about my reply, Since you didn't mention carpet cleaning, I thought you were asking, in general... Richard R.

LIQUID RING VACUUM

this calls for a 2.5" wand!

 

[Greenie]

I'm all for 2.5" wands.



Glides wouldn't be an option.

 

[Jim Bethel]

Shorty's got it...

Liquid Ring's pull more than that!

new format, 3" for the first 50 feet, 2.5 all the way to the wand!

 

[Greenie]

We should probbaly measure lift at the wand, and not at the blower intake.

Most would be surprised how much difference there is from A to B.

 

[Neva]

Yup I would have to agree to measure the lift at the wand.

About two months ago I seen "sombrero cleaning systems" doing a wool casino floor. They had a almost new BL thermal wave that sounded as if it were a train derailing. I looked inside and seen the vac gage moving from 17 all the way up to 26-27hg. If it wasn't for the noises it was making I would think the gage was broken. There was also no sound of a releif valve. It sounded Like it was going to stall, blow up, and vibrate apart. They were cleaning at about 250 ft at 350 psi with a unglided ti wand. The carpet was lifting off the floor when he was pulling back on the wand. No dry strokes and it was dry in like 45 min to 1 hr. They scrub in their ps with a 175 rotary dump. They have lots of vans I haven't seen any of the others cleaning so I don't know if they run them like that on purpose.

Camera Phone?

I'll bet Thom is looking up that name now, making notes 'no warranty' on this one.

unglided Ti....whew! Bet he was doing the drop and drag.

Fyi there name was changed to protect their identity.

 

[Eric Valentine]

I know the company name, but won't mention it. (Protect their identity, like j2 is)

 

[Greenie]

:wink:

I was told by an self proclaimed expert (Who's opinion I trust) that the maximum HG lift you can get at sea level is 30, no matter how big and bad the blower is, and you subtract about 1 HG for every thousand feet above sea level... The most I have ever seen is 18 and I don't think it makes that much difference as long as you got good CFM... but I'm still a little green.

Have you guys ever played with Liquid Rings blowers over in the US at all?
