Ud 60 output air pressure is low90 psi
1 comments:
Mr. Anderson
April 1, 2025
The context does not provide specific data for the UD-60 model. However, a low output air pressure of 90 psi in a Sullivan-Palatek UD Series compressor could be caused by several general factors:
1. Incorrect system pressure setting – The unit may be set to regulate at a lower pressure. 2. Air demand exceeds compressor capacity – The connected system may be using more air than the compressor can supply. 3. Air leaks – Leaks in piping or connections can reduce output pressure. 4. Restricted intake or filters – Dirty or clogged filters can reduce air intake and output pressure. 5. Malfunctioning pressure regulator or valve – Faulty components may not maintain proper pressure. 6. Partial load operation – The compressor may not be running at full capacity due to control settings.
Specific causes for a UD-60 cannot be confirmed without detailed data for that model.

AIR COMPRESSOR PACKAGE The air compressor package consists of a rotary screw compressor unit, air-cooled/water-cooled lubrication and cooling system, discharge system, intake and capacity control system and monitoring system. COMPRESSION CYCLE During operation, two helically-grooved rotors mesh to compress air. Intake air is compressed as the male lobes roll down the female grooves, pushing trapped air along, compressing it until a female groove uncovers the discharge port in the end of the stator and delivers smooth-flowing, pulse-free air to the receiver.
point. The valve will automatically reset to its reset pressure point after the excess pressure is relieved. The pressure relief valve is ASME compliant and rated at 200 psig to match the rating of the tank. It is located on the upper side (wet side) of the sump tank.
It is a sealant, sealing the rotors to reduce leakage paths between the rotors and between the stator housing. Rotary screw compressor units require specialized lubricant to maintain proper performance. Use of Sullivan-Palatek lubricants is recommended. Refer to 6.5 Compressor Lubricant on page 36 for more information. 3.7.2...

START-UP LEGEND Line Pressure Dry Side Wet Side FIGURE 3-3. 108MM 15-50hP VFD MPC CONTROL SYSTEM (START-UP) R00 When the compressor is started, a 10-second load delay is activated to ensure the compressor is up to proper speed and minimum design pressure has been achieved. At this time the system is in a blowdown condition, during which control air is supplied back to the inlet valve to keep it in a closed position and a controlled amount of air is vented out of the sump tank.

FULL-LOAD LEGEND Line Pressure Dry Side Wet Side FIGURE 3-4. 108MM 15-50hP VFD MPC CONTROL SYSTEM (FULL LOAD) R00 After the initial start-up and the load delay has expired, the solenoid valve will shut off the blowdown circuit, allowing the sump pressure to come up to operating pressure. During this time, no control air will be flowing to any major components.

UNLOAD LEGEND Line Pressure Dry Side Wet Side FIGURE 3-5. 108MM 15-50hP VFD MPC CONTROL SYSTEM (UNLOAD) R00 An unload condition occurs when the VFD Target pressure set point is achieved with an additional 10 psi (0.7 bar) overshoot. The microprocessor will change the state of the blowdown solenoid valve sending control air to shut the inlet valve.
3.8.3 BLOWDOWN SOLENOID VALVE The blowdown solenoid valve opens to vent airflow from the sump tank to the atmosphere. The opening of the valve is controlled by the adjustable set point of the microprocessor. Air from the blowdown solenoid valve is vented back to the inlet air filter to reduce noise during blowdown. The blowdown solenoid valve is located on the upper side of the sump tank.
RECEIVING Every Sullivan-Palatek air compressor has been operated and tested at the Factory prior to shipment. The testing ensures that the air compressor is functioning properly and will deliver its rated pressure and capacity. Regardless of the care taken at the Factory, there is a possibility that the air compressor could be damaged during shipment.
VENTILATION AND COOLING The location where the compressor is installed must have adequate ventilation to maintain the rated operating temperature of the compressor. For all compressors, a minimum of four feet of clearance is recommended for proper airflow and heat rejection. CAUTION! Do not install a compressor without adequate freeze protection where it will be exposed to temperatures below 32°F (0°C).
The correct rotation is pre-set at the Factory and is programed into the drive memory. If the main motor or fan motor has been disconnected for any reason after factory assembly, rotation will need to be verified prior to continued operation. To check rotation start the compressor briefly, bump, and observe the rotation. The rotation should match the rotation indicated on the rotation decal located on the compressor.

RESTARTS If the compressor shuts down unexpectedly, special procedures must be followed to safely restart the compressor. below are the procedures for safely restarting the compressor, depending on the reason for the shutdown. 5.6.1 POWER FAILURE Open and lock out main power disconnect. Check all fuses and breakers.
Correct as needed *Sullivan-Palatek recommends oil sampling as the best guide for your fluid change interval. Changing fluid once a year may not be adequate or it can be excessive. Many variables affect the oil life, i.e., environmental impact from various gases, dust and dirt, compressor short cycling, etc.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE SAFETY WARNING! Never assume a compressor is safe to work on just because it is not operating. It could restart at any time. Do not allow oil to accumulate on, in or around acoustic noise material. Immediately replace any oil- soaked material after cleaning enclosure surface with nonflammable solvent.
COMPRESSOR LUbRICANT 6.5.1 FACTORY FILL The compressor is filled with the correct amount of lubricant at the factory before shipment. Palasyn 45 is the standard lubricant used to fill the compressors at the factory. Other lubricants are available as an optional fill upon request.
REMOVE OLD LUbRICANT Follow 6.3 Stopping for Maintenance procedures. Remove the drain plug from the end of the drain line at the bottom of the sump tank. Open the drain valve and allow all oil to drain. Discard in an approved manner. Remove any remaining oil by splitting the discharge pipe at the compressor unit.

SUbMIT OIL SAMPLE Fill out all the information on the oil sample form (3) provided with the oil analysis kit. Please make sure the form is completely and legibly filled out. Place the oil sample bottle (2) inside the black canister (1) and put the lid on.
tooltip OIL FILTER The oil filter should be replaced after the first 50 hours of operation and then every 1,000 hours (or quarterly) or if fault A:2020 or A:4807 is shown on the microprocessor. The oil filter element is mounted to the side of the compressor unit.
AIR/OIL SEPARATOR The separator element should be replaced every 4,000 hours (or once a year) or if fault E:0809, A:2808 or A:4806 is shown on the microprocessor. Refer to Figure 6-4. Sump Tank The separator element is located in the top side of the sump tank under the tank lid.
tooltip AIR FILTER The air filter should be replaced every 1,000 hours or more often in severe or outside conditions or if fault A:2030 or A:4804 is shown on the microprocessor. The inlet filter is a critical filter, protecting the compressor from exterior foreign materials. Keeping the inlet filter element clean will help maintain proper capacity rating of the compressor.
6.12 PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT The intervals at which the compressor loads and unloads, are controlled by adjustable settings within the T1 microprocessor. The unload setting is typically 10 psi over the customer’s required system pressure. The load pressure setting controls the set pressure. The Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) will speed up the motor or slow it down to maintain the set pressure.

Ud 60 output air pressure is low90 psi
The context does not provide specific data for the UD-60 model. However, a low output air pressure of 90 psi in a Sullivan-Palatek UD Series compressor could be caused by several general factors:
1. Incorrect system pressure setting – The unit may be set to regulate at a lower pressure.
2. Air demand exceeds compressor capacity – The connected system may be using more air than the compressor can supply.
3. Air leaks – Leaks in piping or connections can reduce output pressure.
4. Restricted intake or filters – Dirty or clogged filters can reduce air intake and output pressure.
5. Malfunctioning pressure regulator or valve – Faulty components may not maintain proper pressure.
6. Partial load operation – The compressor may not be running at full capacity due to control settings.
Specific causes for a UD-60 cannot be confirmed without detailed data for that model.
