GENERAL OPERATION

The compressor is an electric motor driven, single stage screw compressor, complete with accessories piped, wired and baseplate mounted. It is a totally self contained air compressor package.

The 40hp compressor packages are designed to operate in an ambient range of 35.6_F – 104_F (2_C to 40_C) with a special option package available to operate in ambient temperatures ranges from 35.6_F up to 124_F (2_C up to 50_C). The maximum temperature is applicable to either version up to a maximum elevation of 3280ft (1000m) above sea level. Above this altitude significant reduction in maximum allowable ambient temperature is required.

The 50 hp package is designed for a 115_F (46_C) maximum ambient.

Compression in the screw type air compressor is created by the meshing of two (male & female) helical rotors.

The air/coolant mixture discharges from the compressor into the separation system. This system removes all but a few PPM of the coolant from the discharge air. The coolant is returned to the cooling system and the air passes through the aftercooler and out of the compressor.

Cooling air is moved through the coolers by the cooling fan and discharged from the machine.

CAUTION

Cooling air is drawn in at the end of the machine package passing through the filter and cooler before being discharged from the top of the machine. Care should be taken to avoid blocking the airflow, or causing any restriction in excess of the maximum backpressure allowed for ducting.

Do not direct the airflow at face or eyes.

The power transmission from the drive motor to the airend male rotor is by pulley and belts. The constant auto tensioning system, using airend mass torque and gas arm, ensures that the belts are always under the correct tension, eliminating the need for adjustment and maximizing the life of the belts.

By cooling the discharge air, much of the water vapour naturally contained in the air is condensed and may be drained from the downstream piping and equipment.

The coolant system consists of a sump, cooler, thermostatic valve and a filter. When the unit is operating, the coolant is pressurized and forced to the compressor bearings.

The compressor load control system is automatic on–off line. The compressor will operate to maintain a set discharge line pressure and is provided with an auto restart system for use in plants where the air demand varies sufficiently to allow a compressor to shut down and save power. Significant system volume will assist this and is recommended.

With the dryer option, the dryer will run continuously when the compressor is automatically off line.

WARNING

When the unit stops running as the result of low air demand, normally indicated by auto restart light, it may restart and return to load at any time.

Safety of operation is provided as the compressor will shut down if excessive temperatures or electrical overload conditions should occur.

CAUTION

This unit is not designed or intended to operate when contaminated with silicone. Lubricants, greases or other items containing silicone should not be used on this unit.
