1981 FS Thunderbolt A2 4M Blower (Without and With Load)

[@silicatedev]

the load is the thing that makes it do that weired air sound when the chopper winds down u can hear it with some tbolts

[@Siren1000T1]

I see that WITH the load, the relief valve pops up a bit but without, it stays down. Does that mean you had to remove some of the washers? Cause It doesn't look like any got removed at all.

[@North_Jersey_Sirens]

Nah its the position of the chopper that puts a load on it, without load the chopper would be in the open position and air freely flows through it. When the chopper was in the closed position air wasn’t able to flow freely so the relief valve opened and the blower pressure increased.

[@Siren1000T1]

@@North_Jersey_Sirens Ah. I almost wondered if Northville's 1000 had that problem cause when Chris activated the blower, you can actually see the relief valve pop up a slight bit but I think it's because it doesn't have all the washer weight on the cap.

What type of motor are you using?

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

I should probably already know this by now, but what is a load?

[@Gvacs]

Anything that the motor/blower is working to move or drive

[@CentralVirginiaEAS]

@@Gvacs Thanks!

[@atiandfssirensofsc97]

is your siren using this blower a 1000T or 1003?

[@pjpj-s6e]

This siren is a 1000T because it has no solenoids and it is dual-toned.

[@Nicmrict879]
