    The compressor never needs any inspection of the internal parts. As you continue reading this manual and learn how the compressor operates and is maintained, you will see how surprisingly easy it is to keep a Vanair air compressor in top operating condition.
  • Page 18: Description

    DESCRIPTION Section 2 - Pg 02 Compressor Cooling and Lubrication System, Functional Description Refer to Figure 2-1. The compressor cooling and lubrication system is designed to provide adequate lubrication as well as maintain the proper operating temperature of the compressor. In addition to the cooler and fan, the system consists of an oil filter, electric fan switch.

  • Page 20 DESCRIPTION Section 2 - Pg 04 Compressor Discharge System, Functional Description - Continued The sump is ASME code rated at 175 psig working pressure. A minimum pressure/orifice valve, located downstream from the separator, helps assure a minimum receiver pressure of 65 psig during all conditions. This pressure is necessary for proper air/fluid separation and proper fluid circulation.
  • Page 21: Control System, Functional Description

    DESCRIPTION Section 2 - Pg 05 Control System, Functional Description Refer to Figure 2-1. The purpose of the control system is to regulate the amount of air intake in accordance with the amount of compressed air demand. The Control System consists of an air inlet valve, a control regulator, blowdown valve, and tubing connecting the various components together.
  • Page 22: Air Inlet System, Functional Description

    DESCRIPTION Section 2 - Pg 06 Air Inlet System, Functional Description Refer to Figure 2-3. The compressor inlet system consists of one air filter, a compressor air inlet valve and interconnecting piping. The air filter is a two-stage, dry element-type filter. This filter is capable of cleaning extremely dirty air.
  • Page 23: Instrument Panel, Functional Description

    DESCRIPTION Section 2 - Pg 07 Instrument Panel, Functional Description Refer to Figure 2-4. The instrument panel group consists of a receiver pressure gauge, an hour meter, a compressor discharge temperature gauge and reset button.  The air pressure gauge continually monitors the sump pressure at various load and\or unload conditions.
  • Page 24: Hydraulic Motor, Functional Description

    Vanair does not supply or recommend any other hydraulic system component information. It is recommended that the person installing a Vanair hydraulic driven compressor seek in their area a reputable hydraulic supplier for the hydraulic components (i.e: pump, relief valve, oil cooler, flow control, hosing, reservoir).
  • Page 25: Section 3 - Specifications

    CAUTION – DO NOT MIX OILS OF DIFFERENT TYPES— Substituting non- Vanguard Oil or non-genuine Vanair filter components WILL VOID THE COMPRESSOR WARRANTY! The result of poorly maintained lubricant and/or filters may produce hazardous conditions resulting in ignition, which could cause a fire in the sump.
