2.3. Replacing the Compressor

If trouble-shooting in the electric circuit or volumetric measurements indicate that the compressor is defective, a new compressor must be installed.

The following procedure is to be used:

Ensure that the new compressor is ready for installation. Replace the electrical equipment.

Clean a good area of the pipes at the compressor branches with a wire brush. This makes it easier to solder on the new compressor and prevents contamination inside the pipes. Remove the filter. Open the process pipe and blow dry nitrogen (N2) through the system. Cut off the pipes approx. 2cm from the compressor branches using a pipe cutter. Plug the pipes.

The dismounting of the compressor is carried out as shown in the diagram:

1.Insert a robust screwdriver or similar tool through the hole in the base plate and press against the compressor track in the direction of the arrow.

2.Press the bolt downwards to free it from the attachment hole.

3.Release the bolt by pressing in the direction of the arrow.

When mounting the new compressor, carry out the above steps in the reverse order.
