Compressors are available in either threaded NPT, ANSI, or dIN flanged connections. high-efficiency valves: Corken valves offer quiet operation and high durability in oil-free gas applications. Specially designed suction valves which tolerate small amounts of condensate are used in liquid transfer- vapor recovery compressors.
After the liquid has been transferred, the four-way control valve (or alternate valve manifolding) is reversed so that the vapors are Corken LPG/NH compressors are designed to drawn from the tank just unloaded and discharged into transfer liquefied gases such as butane/propane the receiving tank.

Care must be taken if a restrictive device such as a valve, A tank car unloading riser should have two liquid hoses pressure regulator, or back-check valve is to be installed connected to the car liquid valves. If only one liquid hose in the compressor’s suction line.
On liquefied gas applications, a liquid trap must be used to prevent the entry of liquid into the compressor. Corken offers three types of liquid traps for removal of entrained liquids. The simplest is a mechanical float trap (see figure 2.4A). As the liquid enters the trap the gas velocity is greatly reduced, which allows the entrained liquid to drop out.
Page 11
(see figure 2.4b). The automatic trap replaces the float with electrical float switches. If the liquid level should rise too of other than Corken manufacture, make sure it is high, the level switch will open and disconnect the power of adequate size to thoroughly remove any liquid entrained in the suction stream.
These gases react with the detergent and cause the crankcase oil to become Corken compressors are may be mounted on trucks to corrosive and contaminated. Figures 2.6A and 2.6b show perform liquid transfer operations as described in section recommended oil viscosities and crankcase capacities.
All electronic devices Figure 2.8B: U-joint Drive for Compressor should be selected to meet local code requirements. Shutdown/alarm devices typically used on Corken compressors are: Low Oil Pressure Switch: Shuts down the unit if crankcase oil pressure falls below 12 psi due to oil pump failure or low oil level in crankcase.
These bolts should be tightened in an even and progressive manner until torqued as specified Corken compressor models 291 through 891 are below. There must be a gap between the bushing flange equipped with an automatically reversible gear type oil and the flywheel when installation is complete.

1. Valve cap If routine maintenance is performed as listed in chapter 2. Valve cap O-ring 4, repair service on your Corken gas compressor is generally limited to replacing valves or piston rings. 3. Holddown screw When it comes time to order replacement parts, be sure to consult the part details appendix in the back of this 4.

Workmanship: your Corken compressor is a precision piece of equipment with very close tolerances. Treat it as such. Never beat on it to get parts in or out.
