2.1 INTRODUCTION

This Sullair rotary screw air compressor
signed and manufactured to provide the user/own-
er with superior performance and durability. Re-
duction of maintenance for this unit, like any other
Sullair compressor, has been an objective of ex-
treme importance.
In comparison to other compressors, the Sullair
rotary screw is unique in that it is highly reliable; it
lacks operational wear---down. Its internal parts do
not require inspection at any time.
Read Section 6 (Maintenance) to keep your com-
pressor in top operating condition. Should any
questions arise which cannot be answered in the
following text, call your nearest Sullair represen-
tative or the Sullair Corporation Service Depart-
ment.

a nd 2 --- 2. The components
compressor, electric motor, starter, compressor
inlet system, compressor discharge system,
compressor lubrication and cooling system, ca-
pacity control system and instrumentation. Op-
tional accessories, such as heavy duty filters are
also factory installed.
On Series 10B air---cooled models, a fan (mounted
on a double---extended shaft motor), draws air over
the motor and forces it out through the cooler
(mounted at the end of the frame), thereby remov-
ing the compression heat from the cooling fluid.
On water---cooled models (available with a shell
and a tube heat exchanger mounted on the frame),
fluid is piped into the four---pass heat exchanger
where compression heat is removed from the fluid.
The "open" design of the Series 10B air compres-
sor, (whether air---cooled or water---cooled), pro-
vides easy access to all components.
