Kewanee Blower Wheel Dimensions
Posted in Kewanee Parts by Boiler Guy on March 11th, 2008 THREE WAYS TO FIND THE CORRECT KEWANEE BLOWER WHEEL
One of the most common requests made of our parts department is the identification, pricing and availability of Kewanee Blower Wheels. Since Kewanee has been out of business for quite some time, finding these wheels can be a bit of a challenge. There are three ways to find the correct blower wheel.
- The best way to identify exactly what blower wheel is needed is through the original part number. With this key piece of information there is no doubt what wheel is needed. But, as we have often seen, these numbers, along with most of the boiler documentation, is long gone.
- The second method is to trace back through the Sales Order Number. This number is located on the front nameplate of the boiler and is a six digit number. By referring to the Sales Order number often times we can determine what was originally supplied through old records. Prior to 1965, Sales Order Numbers were in the 900,000 series. These records are harder to find and we would guess that if your Kewanee Boiler is older than 1965, we will need to use another method to pin point your blower wheel.
- The third option to locating the correct blower wheel is to physically measure the existing wheel and fill out a Blower Wheel Dimension sheet. This allows us to compare what you have against what is available. We have included a copy of this sheet below.

David,
You need to check to see what limit is actually shutting down the boiler. Possibly the boiler water temperature is increasing to the temperature setting that shuts down the boiler. Once you know what is actually shutting down the boiler then you will have to determine how to correct the problem that is causing this to happen.
If you are not familiar with boilers and boiler systems you should have a qualified boiler service technician take a look at your boiler and system.
I hope this helps!
