What causes the heating of the Roots blower belt?

The belt of the Roots blower plays a pivotal role in the linkage between the motor and the blower. It is not uncommon for the blower's pulley to heat up during operation. So, what should be done if the Roots blower belt heats up? Typically, the heating of the Roots blower belt is generally caused by the belt being too loose, overloaded, or reaching the end of its lifespan. Manufacturers should adjust the blower's belt to the appropriate tension before leaving the factory to ensure smooth operation. A belt that is too loose not only causes heating but also wears out the belt, leading to high temperatures in the pulley. If the belt is too tight, it can also cause heating. This not only affects the linkage of the blower but also results in losses during power transmission. An overly tight belt may even break during operation. Therefore, both loose and tight belts are undesirable. Manufacturers should conduct strict testing of all indicators of the blower before leaving the factory to ensure good operation. The heating of the Roots blower belt is more severe in summer. Some customers pour water on the belt, which can lower the temperature of the belt, but it severely affects the fit between the belt and the pulley, reducing friction and leading to insufficient power transmission and slippage. If water accidentally flows into the blower, it can cause rust on the internal impeller, which over time can lead to seizing and damage to the Roots blower.
