Vacuum Belts

Vacuum Belts

There a few different type of superchargers, but a roots supercharges was one of the first and most recognizable. In the eighteen sixties a vacuum pump was created by Philander and Francis Marion Roots. The pump was originally used in blast furnaces but later used by others as a supercharger for a car. The roots supercharges is one of the oldest vacuum pumps for cars.

Superchargers basically supply more air to the engine. More air combined with more fuel into the charge makes a more powerful explosion, resulting in better performance.

A roots supercharges is really nothing more than an air blower. The supercharger has messing lobes that spin and trap air in-between. As the lobes are carried between the fill and discharged sides, large quantities of air move into the intake manifold and create positive pressure. The roots supercharger is not considered very efficient. It adds more weight to a vehicle and does move air in smooth flow, but more in bursts. Many muscle car owners like the supercharger because it sticks out of the hood and represents classic older style muscle cars.

When a blower or supercharger is malfunctioning you can take it to a mechanic or a vacuum systems specialist. Many mechanics are great at installing and replacing a supercharger but they may not be the experts in fixing them. A vacuum system specialist will be able to repair any vacuum pump, including superchargers.

A supercharger is great way to add power and performance to your car. But if you are going for a classic muscle car look than a roots supercharger is the way to go.

Why do my vacuum cleaner belts keep burning off?

I have a vacuum cleaner (Eureka 2961BVZ) that I bought a little less than a year ago, and every time I run it it smells like something's burning, and it's burned 2 bands in a very short time. Anyone know how I can fix this? Thanks!

Is something else "stuck" in the vacuum cleaner so that the brushes are not rotating freely? Are you sure you have the correct size of band?

A quick look round the net at your model, and I've seen some pretty shoddy reviews of it--I guess it's not terribly well regarded.

You might try finding the owner's manual online and seeing if there's any hints or tips in it to help you. Best of luck.
