Thermal wave ii vortec no pressure!

You should tear it down and swap in a 59 blower.

It has a 59 I thought?

It's a 5m which is atleast a 56 right?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Sutorbilt/Roots/Tuthill equivalencies:
5m = 56 = 5006

5L = 59 = 5009

4m = 45 = 4005

4L = 47 = 4007

5m beats my 4m that was actually properly not performing at 100 percent so was maybe 275 cfm not 300 it was suppose to have. I'll love the difference I'm sure

 

[Lee Stockwell]

The shaft configuration is identical between each mfg 1st column and 2nd column unit

However the longer lobed blowers have larger plumbing.

5m (5" gears) is MUCH bigger than 4m (4" gears)

Excuse me while I go dry hump my Butlers....

That I get hence while I'll love the vacuum performance a lot better lol

 

[Austin Willoughby]

Lee dude your full of knowledge I love it! Keep it coming I love understanding how and why things work!

4m = 45 = 4005

4L = 47 = 4007

For some reason I always thought a 4m had less power than a 45. After looking at the specs I realize that 2 of my trucks have 45 blowers. I think I was thinking that max rpm was 2600 instead of 3600.

 

[Hack Attack]

the smaller blowers match the smaller engines rev range well.. full thottle!

So it means I have an 18/36, an 18/45 and my Hydramaster cds is also a 45.

 

[Hack Attack]

I thought cds was 47? Not that I know much about them, other than the local distributer refuse to bring them in

 

[Austin Willoughby]

I have a perfectly rebuilt 45 blower if anyone needs one is interested in buying it.

 

[Cleanworks]

They have different models, 4.2, 4.6, 4.8. each step up has a little more power. I have the 4.2 which is a 4 ml blower.

 

[Austin Willoughby]

So great news I have water pressure after bypassing the heat exchanger that was leaking however machine is still shutting down so I need to do a little more investigation.

 

[Lee Stockwell]

The COMPONENT manufacturers are pretty transparent and accurate in their numbering nomenclature and description.

HOWEVER:

The truckmount MANUFACTURERS can and do use disguising terminology and misleading model descriptions that are, to put it bluntly, weaselly attempts to mislead.

Bane Clene would remove component ID plates and grind off the rivets before a bit of Krylon artwork.

Other manufacturers use equally misleading model numbers to imply bigger vacuum and performance specifications.

What happened to your prochem performer? Btw I was kidding about tearing it down.

Well it needed quite a bit of TLC but ran and worked fine so long story short I thought well hell I'll tear it down and redo the whole damn thing. I resealed and painted motor, rebearing and powder coated blower. Cleaned up and painted other components, got to the frame which was rusted out on bottom and said yep now it's become to much for me to deal with lol. I just got tired of working on it really. When did you say anything about tearing it down? I must've missed that

I think that was aimed at his dad, lol
I have 3 machines on the bench, plus a trailer full of transplant parts. Will keep me busy this winter playing with them.

I knew I should have © that saying

Well if your interested in parts let me know bc I have all the parts off my old one except waste tank and water box

How much psi are the stainless steel and copper heat exchangers rated for?

 

[Lee Stockwell]

How much psi are the stainless steel and copper heat exchangers rated for?

SS usually more than 1000, depending on fittings.

Copper, like the Graham helicoil, 700 to be safe.

Garage- built usually less despite any claims.

That's hard to believe simple bc my thermwave 2 has copper engine coolant get echanger but is manual says it can produce 1200 psi?

Depends on the type of copper. Lg heaters range from 600-2200 psi.

That makes more sense seeing I also have a stainless steel exhaust heat exchanger

 

[Lee Stockwell]

Lots of blown exchangers prove otherwise.
