Section 1 - Description

A - General Information

The Chicago Pneumatic Compressors CP model air compressor is a compressed air unit and is presented as an entire unit completely assembled and tested. It is driven by an electric motor and enclosed in a sound proof cowling which is necessary for proper cooling.

The compression element is a single-stage, oil-refrigerated, ro- tary screw compressor. The oil is stored in a vertical tank, which is fitted with an oil separator.

The compression element and the motor are fixed to the frame using silent blocks.

B - Respect of the environment and prevention of pollution

1 - Maintenance of the machine

Make sure that the used components of the machine (waste oil, oil and air filters, oil separators, etc...) are disposed of according to national and local regulations.

2 - Condensate bleed pipe

Make sure that the condensates (water, oil) are drained and treated according to national and local regulations.

3 - End of life of the machine

Make sure that the machine as a whole is disposed of according to national and local regulations ( See F Section 7 and J Section 8 ).

C - Standard equipment

In its standard version, the covered unit includes:

-Operating components:

1.A twinned screw-type compressor.

2.An electric motor: 3600 rpm, short-circuit rotor, 230/460V or 575V voltage according to the model.

3.Star delta starting.

4.A direct drive or gearbox drive .

5.Air and oil tank in compliance with applicable legislation

ASME

6."All or nothing" regulation for the aspiration vent.

7.A greasing system using the circuit's differential pressure, thus avoiding the need for an oil pump.

8.An oil separator based oil separation system.

9.A heat discharge system : oil and compressed air radiator with forced ventilation.

10.A dry air filter.

11.An oil filter.

12.A command and control electronic board.

-Safety devices:

1.A safety valve mounted on the oil reservoir.

2.An thermal protection device for the motor, situated in the starting box, to protect the motor from excessive overload.

3.An air temperature sensor that stops the compressor when the temperature rises abnormally or during an oil cooling defect.

-Control devices:

1.A minimum pressure valve located at the oil tank outlet, just beyond the oil separator, which guarantees minimum pressure in the lubrication circuit.

2.Automatic draining allowing the unit to be exposed to the atmosphere when stopping to thus ensure empty start up which relieves the motor,

3.An oil level gauge on the front panel ( see fig. 19).

4.An electronic controller including:

a control keyboard,

the main safety and control indications.

5.The pressure sensor ensures control over the compressed air flow.

The CP compressed air unit has been designed, produced and tested in accordance with the following recommendations, codes and standards :

-machine safety : European Directive 98/37/CE, 91/368/CEE and 93/68/CEE.

-pressure vessels: European Directive for simple pressure vessels n° 87/404/CEE.

-electrical equipment :

electrical equipment : European Directive Low tension 73/23/CEE.

electromagnetic compatibility European Directive: 89/336/CEE, 92/31/CEE.

-performance levels: ISO 1217 : 1996.

-noise level : ISO 2157 + 3db(A)

-European Directive 97/23/EC

" Pressure Equipment Directive ".
