Identifying AeroGen model

[Chiliblue]

Hi,

One of the foils on my Aerogen has snapped off (terminal foil meet oar incident)

I was pretty annoyed at the time... but it looks like spare parts are still available for the aerogen models.

Only I am not entirely sure which model I have, could be a aero2gen or a aero4gen... how do you tell?

Thanks in advance.

Brochure for Aerogens might help

Just measure the diameter of the blade circle and match it to one of the AeroGen drawings.

If its an Aerogen 2, I may have a set of new blades in the spares pile, (garage) that may be of interest to you - cheaper than buying a new set as I think you have to replace them all if one goes!

They have balance markings, so just make sure opposites are the same.

If you need the power take 2 more blades out and use it as a 3 bladed fan - not something you can do with a 5 or 3 bladed unit. When we bought ours, way, way back LVM told us each blade set was a matched set, each was numbered and we had to assemble them in a specific order. Someone liked our original model so much they took it and we had a new one, insurance, from ITT, no mention then of a matched set for the new unit but you might find that a new blade is a different weight to the originals. It took us some time to match our news blades, we initially had a lot of vibration but juggling about overcame this.

ITT, who bought Aerogen, or LVM, did stock but did away with the AeroAquaGen unit. I believe they moved manufacture to China.
