DESCRIPTION OF PACIFIC E23 – EG23 : The structure of the PACIFIC E23 – EG23 is very robust, designed to suppress vibration discharging it on the ground and thus reducing up to 60% of noise. This is possible thanks to an internal thermo acoustic insulation that guarantees noise levels lower than 70db(A).

If you need to use the compressor at a pressure higher than 225 bar Nardi Compressori can provide the material required to refill at higher pressure with different filling valves, connectors and safety valves with higher calibration.
IMPORTANT: All maintenance operations must be performed by the technical staff of NARDI COMPRESSORI or by qualified technical staff. IMPORTANT: All maintenance operations must be performed with the machine switched off and the power cable disconnected.
OIL: Oil is a very important component for the life of the compressor over time. Nardi Compressori has studied in detail the compressor so that it has a large capacity oil sump and oil filter. A magnet has been fixed on the case to attract all metallic impurities that settle at the bottom of the case.
Release the latches on the lid and remove the filter cartridge. • Clean with a damp cloth inside the filter housing and the cap. Insert the new filter cartridge and close the lid. 20 | P a g e PACIFIC E23 – EG23 Rev.01 Nardi Compressori – www.nardicompressori.com...
The life of the components of the filter is determined by the number of work cycles since the filter base and the filter head are subjected to dynamic loads due to pressurization and depressurization of the filter. Nardi Compressori recommends that a technical inspection be performed every 500 hours of operation. The filter cartridge should be replaced once exceeded the 8000 cycles at 300 Bar or 21000 cycles at 225 Bar.
It is recommended you use only original materials supplied by Nardi Compressori. The users who wish to regenerate their cartridges have to be well prepared to do this and should use only materials from Nardi Compressori.

When the compressor is switched on, the valve stays closed until the entire system reaches 150 bar, and subsequently it opens. This valve is set by NARDI COMPRESSORI. No further calibration is required. 7.14...
Test the valve by blowing compressed air in the flow direction. • Check the O-ring seal and replace if damaged. • Attach the head to the cylinder. • Secure the cooling tubes. 26 | P a g e PACIFIC E23 – EG23 Rev.01 Nardi Compressori – www.nardicompressori.com...
• Put the head in a vice. • Unscrew the valve bodies (one of these bodies is unscrewed with a special tool that is to be requested to Nardi Compressori). • Clean and remove all debris. • If the parts show signs of wear, change the worn parts.
The default factory settings are: DRAIN CLOSED = 6 MINUTES (OFF) DRAIN OPEN = 2 SECONDS (ON) These settings can be changed through the electronic control panel. 28 | P a g e PACIFIC E23 – EG23 Rev.01 Nardi Compressori – www.nardicompressori.com...
The compressor is equipped with an automatic stop system, which stops the compressor when the desired pressure is reached. This pressure switch is calibrated by NARDI COMPRESSORI at the time of testing of the finished compressor. This way, the operators do not need to stand next to the compressor all the time while the cylinders get filled, but may dedicate themselves to other activities.

225 bar The highest value in the scale is calculated based on the characteristics of the compressor. This is set by NARDI COMPRESSORI at 225 BAR or 330 BAR according to the maximum pressure allowed by the compressor. 30 | P a g e PACIFIC E23 –...

The electronic panel may trigger several alarms, normally when this happens it means that one or more of the values of the parameters set by NARDI COMPRESSORI (maximum and minimum value tresholds) has been exceeded. Alternatively, it also occurs due to a signal sent from one of the various sensors placed in key locations in the compressor.
