General Description Introduction The Elgi air compressor model TRC 1000 MN UG is driven by an electric motor by means of resillient flange coupling. It consists of three cylinders arranged in a ‘W’ form on a crankcase. Dry type air filters are fitted to the suction side of the LP cylinder heads.
Page 10
General Description Piston and Piston rings The pistons are of automotive type and made out of low expansion aluminium alloy. They are provided with plain compression rings, stepped compression rings and slotted oil control rings. The rings are made of special quality close grained cast iron and designed for controlling wear and oil consumption to a minimum.
Page 11
Installation and operation The following points should be checked during commissioning. Examine the unit for transit damages. NOTE BEFORE COMMISSIONING THE COMPRESSOR Fill up the crankcase with SERVO PRESS 150 oil upto the maximum mark on the dipstick. Position the compressor in the locomotive and check the level of the compressor by using a spirit level.
Maintenance Schedule General Cleanliness and care must be observed whenever inspection and checks are being carried out on the compressor and its accessories. For cleaning interior parts, only rags which do not separate should be used. Cotton waste should not be used. If any defect is noticed, it should be immediate attended to. The unit should be properly maintained as per the undermentioned schedule.

Repairs General Only a skilled technician who knows about the compressor should dismantle and reassemble the compressor. Before dismantling the compressor, make sure that it is free of compressed air. Pull the safety valve and ensure this. Ensure that the electric power is disconnected from the unit. Accessories Remove the intercooler after removing the respective pipe fittings and bolts.
Page 16
Repairs Crankshaft assembly Remove the disc coupling. Then remove the free and cover. Remove the crank- shaft assembly through the fly end cover bore along with the cover. Using puller remove the fly end cover from the crankshaft assembly. Clean the crankshaft and connecting rod assembly thoroughly in kerosene and dry with compressed air.
Page 17
Disc coupling assembly procedure 1. Fit the motor side hub on motor shaft, fix key way grub screw 2. Assemble the coupling spacer on motor side coupling hub. 3. Put the motor on base frame first. 4. Put the compressor on base frame ensuring that the spacer encovers the compress side hub and lamina screws get through the compressor side hub flange tighten the compressor side hub to spacer bolts.

Disc coupling assembly procedure INTERPRETATION These reading confirm the following 1. Motor axis lower than compressor axis by 0.80 (TIR) i.e., by 0.40 radially 2. Motor is shifted radially by 1.4mm (TIR) CORRECTIVE ACTION a. To adjust the vertical shift (0.8), loose motor foundation bolts add 0.4mm shims bellow all 4 legs of motor b.
Page 19
Disc coupling model assy instructions CORRECTIVE ACTION a. It’s required to rotate the motor towards left by keeping the bolt no ‘1’ fixed, loosing bolt no 2,3&4 and by pushing the side screw at bolt number 4. b. Shift motor by side screws towers left by keeping a close watch on dial gauge reading till dial gauge reading.
