C O M P R E S S O R Foreword Your new ALKIN air compressor will provide you with the solid and reliable performance that you should expect from a heavy-duty industrial air compressor. Please read this manual carefully before you operate your compressor. This will enable you to start-up your compressor in in the maintenance section of this manual.
1.1 General 1.1.1 General safety information All ALKIN air and gas compressors are designed and manufactured with equipment & components that allow safe operation of the compressors. It is the user’s responsibility however; to safely operate and maintain the compressor, observe the rules and instructions, as well as the local safety codes, to minimize the risk of accidents and injury.
70 Bars (1015 psi) to 250 Bars (3625 psi). Do not attempt to modify a compressor to operate at a higher-pressure range without written approval of Alkin. Failure to do so may result in heavy damage to equipment, injury or death.
C O M P R E S S O R The W3 series compressors are equipped with radiator between the 1st & 2nd stage cylinders and finned tube intercooler between the 2nd and 3rd stage cylinders and stainless steel aftercooler downstream the 3rd stage cylinder. A moisture trap (or condensate separator) is installed downstream the 2nd stage intercooler and downstream the aftercooler.

Electric Motor W3 Series of compressors can be driven by electric motor. They are belt-driven. They have an hourmeter which shows the working hours of the unit on the control panel on W3 Canopy models.
This control system is standard on all single pressure compressors. Drain Control: W3 Series compressors can be automatically drained by automatic drain valves. These drain valves are controlled by 3 way Solenoid Valve which is normally closed. This solenoid valve supplies or cuts the control air on the drain valves, thus letting them to open or close.
FILL IN THE comissioning report and return a copy to the manufacturer for track record. 4.2 Oil recommendation The oil level should be checked daily. Top up to the overfill point when required. On all W3 Series Compressors use the following oil only: Type Quantity...
Compressor will stop when it reaches the adjusted upper pressure. Standard Pressure Switches used on Alkin Automatic Start/Stop controlled W3 units have standard differential of 20 Bar. In other words, lower pressure is set automatically at 20 Bar below the set working pressure. Compressor will restart when the final pressure decreases to a pressure 20 Bar below the set working pressure.
