WILLINGNESS ON OUR PART DOES NOT MAKE US RESPONSIBLE FOR COLLECTION OF CLAIMS OR REPLACEMENT OF MATERIAL. THE ACTUAL FILING AND PROCESSING OF THE CLAIM IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. Ingersoll-Rand Company Davidson, North Carolina APDDGFO-99-79 1.2 UNPACKING AND HANDLING The compressor package has been mounted on a base which provides for forklifting between the two side channels to facilitate handling during shipment.
2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 VENTILATION Oil flooded rotary air compressors produce large amounts of heat. Because of this large heat production, the compressor must be placed in a room with adequate ventilation. A room in which the amount of air that is drawn in and exhausted is equal to or greater than the cooling fan air flow requirement for the compressor that is installed.

2.3 PIPING (Continued) A dripleg assembly and isolation valve should be mounted near the compressor discharge. A drain line ISOLATION should be connected to the condensate drain in the VALVE base. IMPORTANT: The drain line must slope downward from the base to work properly. NOTE: For ease of inspection of the automatic drain trap operation, the drain piping should include an open funnel.

Page 27
Modulation/ACS Control (Optional) For those plants which have relatively high constant air demand, relative to the compressor capacity, the recommended control mode is modulation. The modulation control system retains the features of the on line-off line control, but provides for throttling of the inlet flow up to the off line air pressure set point value.
Page 28
Modulate/ACS Control (Continued) The compressor will then operate to deliver full capacity air to the plant system. If the plant air MODEL RATED system pressure rises to that of the Intellisys off line OPERATING PRESSURE set point, pressurized air will be sent to the inlet valve causing it to close, and to the blowdown valve, 125 PSIG causing it to open.

Modulate Control Valve Adjustment WARNING Ensure the compressor is isolated from the compressed air system by closing the isolation valve and venting pressure from the drip leg. Ensure the main power disconnect switch is locked open and tagged. 1. Enter the setpoint routine and put the compressor in the MODULATION mode.
Before starting any maintenance, be certain the following and detailed records of all maintenance work you, or the is heeded. Ingersoll-Rand Distributor or Air Center perform on your compressor. This includes but is not limited to coolant, 1. Read Safety Instructions.
5.4 SHEAVE ALIGNMENT Any degree of sheave misalignment will result in a reduction of belt life. 1/16” (1.6mm) MAX. Misalignment of sheaves should not exceed 1/16" MAX 1/16”(1.6mm). Parallel misalignment occurs when the driven shafts are parallel, but the two sheaves lie in different planes. AIREND Angular misalignment occurs when the two shafts are not parallel.
5.5 V-BELTS WARNING Ensure the compressor is isolated from the compressor air system by closing the isolation valve and venting pressure from the drip leg. Insure the main power disconnect switch is locked open and tagged. Special Tools Belt tension gauge (39199138). Hazardous voltage.

5.7 SHAFT SEAL REPLACEMENT Thoroughly clean and degrease the seal housing and wear sleeve journal on the rotor. There are two lip type seals on the compressor. They are wearable parts and should be replace at 8,000 Clean scavenge holes in seal housing and in the rotor hours.

The term “inboard side” will refer to the large machined grease can be used to hold the check valve ball in place face of the seal housing. The term “out-board side” will for assembly). Push the rotor seal housing assembly refer to the unmachined side next to the sheave.
5.8 INLET AIR FILTER The filter should be changed when the filter indicator shows red. The filter should be changed every 4000 hours and more frequently in dirty environments because coolant, coolant filter, separator element, and airend life are a direct function of how well you maintain and replace the inlet air filter.
5.10 COOLANT Replace the fill cap. Start the compressor and allow it to run unloaded. The coolant level should now be near the SSR Ultra Coolant (Standard Factory Fill) midpoint of the sightglass. SSR H1-F Food Grade (Optional) DO NOT OVERFILL THE MACHINE. Over filling will SSR Ultra Coolant is a polyglycol base coolant.

Check orifice and clean if required. Use suitable small screwdriver or knife and press screen retainer FIGURE 5.11-1 SEPARATOR TANK SCAVENGE orifice from its mating fitting (See Figure 5.11-1).
5.13 COOLANT SEPARATOR ELEMENT WARNING To check condition of separator element, run compressor in full load mode and at rated pressure and select "SEPARATOR PRESSURE DROP" in L.E.D. Table. If display says "XX PSI", then no maintenance is required. If warning light is on and display says "CHG SEPR ELEMENT"...

5.19 COOLANT HOSES The flexible hoses that carry coolant to and from the oil cooler may become brittle with age and will require replacement. Have your local Ingersoll-Rand distributor check them every 2 years. Ensure the compressor is isolated from the compressed air system by closing the isolation valve and venting pressure from the drip leg.
