4307 & 4310 Blower | 19
Check Valves
For vacuum only setups, the blower system will need to have an appropriately
sized check valve on the inlet side of the blower.
If the blower is to be operated in a pressure mode, a check valve will need to be
used on both the ballast air system and the intake side of the blower. Note that
the ballast circuit normally draws air into the blower.
Use the same size check valve as the hose used to plumb the system.
Primary Shutoff
A primary shuto is to be used with the blower as a rst line of defense to prevent
liquid from entering the blower. It is crical that an appropriately sized primary
shut o is used. Contact NVE for assistance with selecng the shuto.
Secondary Shutoff/Moisture Trap
The secondary shuto or moisture trap should also be appropriately sized for the
air ow applicaon. Contact NVE for assistance with selecng the shuto.
Bag House
Bag houses are typically used in systems where dry material is being pumped.
Specicaon of a proper bag house depends on the frequency and type of dry
material being pumped. Consult the factory for assistance in selecng a bag
house.
