Reavell CONTACT DETAILS Address: Notes: Reavell House 53-56 White House Road Ipswich IP1 5PB ENGLAND Sales – Contact Names: Telephone: +44 (0) 1473 242000 Fax:...
1.4 WARRANTY Conditions of the Reavell warranty are stated in our Standard Conditions of Sale. Details of warranty for a particular contract may be obtained from the local Gardner Denver Company or authorised Distributor.
SAFETY PAGE 8 1.5 CAUTION Compressor sets designed for use with flammable gases are fitted with low inlet pressure switches. These are an essential safety item. Their operation should be checked regularly. They must not be tampered with or linked out of operation. Should the gas inlet pressure fall to a low level and the switch has been linked out or made inoperable there is a danger the compressor will draw in air.
SAFETY PAGE 9 1.7.2 WARNINGS, CAUTIONS & NOTES The following details for this Safety Section relate to ESSENTIAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS referred to in Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Warnings call for attention to operating procedures involving specific hazards which could cause injury or death and are identified by the following RISK OF DANGER RISK OF HIGH PRESSURE...
SAFETY PAGE 10 A manual shut-off valve should be fitted in the discharge line to allow the compressor to be isolated. Non return valves cannot be relied upon for isolating parts from a pressure system. A safety valve must be installed between any compressor unit and the isolating valve. A pressure-reliving device must be fitted to every pressure vessel, or equipment containing air or gas above atmospheric pressure.
SAFETY PAGE 11 Use only lubricating oils and greases approved by Reavell to avoid potential hazards especially the risk of explosion or fire and the possibility of decomposition or generation of hazardous gases. Do not operate the unit when guards provided for protection for all rotating and reciprocating parts have been removed for essential maintenance.
SAFETY PAGE 12 If Viton seals appear charred or gummy do not touch with unprotected hands: wear neoprene or PVC gloves. When the seal has been removed, wash the area with limewater and avoid breathing any fumes. If contamination of the skin occurs, wash with limewater and seek medical advice. Always clean oil spills from the compressor module before and after maintenance work NEVER USE A LIGHT SOURCE WITH AN OPEN FLAME FOR INSPECTION Pressure gauges, temperature switches and other protection devices should be checked at least every...
SAFETY PAGE 13 The installation should have purging valves fitted to the inlet and outlet lines of the compressor, permitting the inert gas used for purging to be admitted and discharged before and after the equipment being purged. Once this has been acheived the valves should be locked and /or plugged to avoid them being left open whilst running on gas.
SAFETY PAGE 14 1.9.2.1 AREA CLASSIFICATIONS Areas where the above hazards can exit are categorised into three ZONES for countries complying with the standards produced by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Standardisation). The USA and Canada still use standards which identify these areas as DIVISIONS. USA &...
SAFETY PAGE 15 1.9.5 PRODUCTION METHODS There are two main types of protection against explosion occurring in hazardous areas; INTRINSIC SAFETY and FLAMEPROOF. There are various levels of the latter, brief descriptions and options available are as follows:- 1.9.5.1 INTRINSIC SAFETY (IS) This is based on the principle of restricting the electrical energy available in circuits in the hazardous area such that any sparks or hot surfaces that may occur as a result of electrical faults are toop weak to cause ignition.

INSTALLATION PAGE 27 6 INSTALLATION 6.1 HANDLING When using the compressor and motor eyebolts as the slinging attachment, it is essential that a spreader is used. The lift should always be made vertical, as inclined loadings drastically reduce the strength of the eyebolts.
INSTALLATION PAGE 28 6.3 MOUNTING Under normal circumstances a special foundation is unnecessary but verification must be obtained that the support floor is structurally adequate as well as flat and level. If installed adjacent to vibrating machinery it may be necessary to bolt down the isolation pads but when tightening, ensure the isolation pads are not distorted.
INSTALLATION PAGE 29 6.6 COOLING Satisfactory compressor operation depends on correct cooling, which requires positive circulation of cool, clean water, free from suspended particles. Check water is flowing in mains installations or, if closed circuit, that radiator is full. It is recommended that a filter be fitted in the inlet water line (mains). Maximum permitted water pressure within the compressor is 5 bar equivalent to 52 metres of water head.
INSTALLATION PAGE 30 6.8 RECOMMENDED ANCILLARIES SUMMARY Flexible pipe at final delivery. Overload trips. Water inlet and outlet thermometers. Water flow control. Separators and drain traps. Non-return valves.
COMMISSIONING OR RECOMMISSIONING PAGE 31 7 COMMISSIONING OR RECOMMISSIONING W A R N I N G :- BEFORE OPERATING THIS EQUIPMENT USERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF AND ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE HEALTH AND SAFETY REGULATIONS APPROPRIATE TO THIS CLASS OF WORK.
COMMISSIONING OR RECOMMISSIONING PAGE 32 7.2 START-UP PROCEDURE Check radiator is topped up on radiator sets or water is flowing in correct volume in mains water installations. Operate starter. Check immediately that the direction of rotation is counter-clockwise looking on driving end. Check that oil pressure is above 2 bar.
OPERATION AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE PAGE 33 8 OPERATION AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE 8.1 OPERATION AND GENERAL MAINTENANCE The commissioning procedure should be used:– (a) For the first commissioning run (b) Following overhaul (c) After standing idle for an extended period External cleanliness of the compressor pipework and jointing is imperative in order that any leakages may be readily detected.

DISMANTLING AND REASSEMBLY OF VALVES PAGE 39 10 DISMANTLING AND REASSEMBLY OF VALVES 10.1 GENERAL Keep a spare oiled and maintained set of valve units in store for quick compressor servicing. Valves when removed should have only a thin carbon layer and be slightly moist with oil. Valve maintenance is a simple procedure but the following guidelines should be observed.
DISMANTLING AND REASSEMBLY OF VALVES PAGE 40 10.5 VALVE REPLACEMENT 0.5 VALVE REPLACEMENT Ensure valve pocket is clean before replacing valve assembly. Ensure valve beds properly as a slight misfit will entail the loss of air. Check valve cover for cleanliness before reassembly. Renew 'O' rings lightly greasing before fitting.
DISMANTLING AND REASSEMBLY OF VALVES PAGE 41 10.6 VALVE REASSEMBLY 10.6.1 FIRST STAGE CONCENTRIC VALVE Place upper valve body (11) on open vice jaws or a tubular support (an upturned aerosol can top or similar object will be suitable for this purpose), with locating pegs (7) and (8) uppermost.

Process or other conditions which might adversely affect the performance of the safety valve. Installation must be undertaken by qualified technicians and to good engineering practice.
Page 84
ANCILLARY PARTS PAGE 82 FUNCTIONAL TESTING Once installed in service. Valves should be tested at least once every six months to ensure free movement of parts. This should be carried out by operating the easing gear when the valve is under a pressure of not less than 75'% of the set pressure.
