Descriptions

GENERAL

The Powerex reciprocating air compressor has advanced compressor technolo- gy. The Powerex reciprocating compressor is available in single stage model. Individually precision machined cylinders and lap joint rings provide the lowest oil carryover in the industry. The onboard cooling fan and finned flywheel create lower operating tempera- tures.

DRY TYPE INLET FILTER

The inlet filter on the Powerex compressor assures 99% of particulate free air is admitted to the unit. Change every 500 hours or more often in dirty locations.

PISTON RINGS AND CYLINDERS

The Powerex reciprocating compressor cylinder is made of a 390R cast alloy construction machined with the most advanced technology available. These heat reducing cylinders eliminate the

effect of excessive ring and cylinder wear. Piston rings should be replaced every 15,000 hours of operation.

VALVING

Low lift Swedish stainless steel valves resist carbon build-up and offer outstanding durability. The reduced number of valves lessens the risk of failure.

Installation

INSTALLATION SITE

1.The compressor must be located in a clean, well lit and well ventilated area.

2.The area should be free of excessive dust, toxic or flammable gases and moisture.

3.Never install the compressor where the ambient temperature is higher than 104o F or where humidity is high.

4.Clearance must allow for safe, effec- tive inspection and maintenance.

5.If necessary, use metal shims or level- ing pads to level the compressor. Never use wood to shim the com- pressor.

!DANGER

Breathable Air Warning

This compressor/pump is NOT equipped and should NOT be used “as is” to supply breathing quality air. For any application of air for human consumption, you must fit the compressor/pump with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment. This additional equipment is necessary to properly filter and purify the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1 - 1966, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations (CSA).

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

In the event the compressor/pump is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties are void, and Powerex disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.
