Reassembly; Compressor Oil Cooler And Engine Radiator - Ingersoll-Rand XHP1070WCAT Operating & Maintenance Manual

Maintenance

Reassembly

Thoroughly clean the orifice/drop tube and filter gasket contact area before reassembly.
Install the new element.
DO not remove the staple from the anti-static gasket on the separator
element since it serves to ground any possible static build-up. Do not
use gasket sealant since this will affect electrical conductance.
Reposition the cover plate, taking care not to damage the gasket, and replace the cover
plate screws tightening in a criss-cross pattern to the recommended torque (refer to the
TORQUE SETTING TABLE later in this section).
Reconnect all hoses and tubes to the separator tank cover plate.
Replace the compressor oil (refer to LUBRICATION later in this section).
Start the machine (refer to PRIOR TO STARTING and STARTING THE
MACHINE in the OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS section of this manual)
and check for leakage before the machine is put back into service.

Compressor Oil Cooler and Engine Radiator

When grease, oil and dirt accumulate on the exterior surfaces of the oil cooler and radiator,
the efficiency is impaired. It is recommended that each month the oil cooler and radiator
be cleaned by directing a jet of compressed air, (carrying if possible a non-flammable
cleaning solvent) over the exterior core of the cooler/radiator. This should remove any
accumulation of oil, grease and dirt from the exterior core of the cooler so that the entire
cooling area can radiate the heat of the lubricating and cooling oil/water into the air stream.
Hot engine coolant and steam can cause injury. When adding coolant
or antifreeze solution to the engine radiator, stop the engine at least
one minute prior to releasing the radiator filler cap. Using a cloth to
protect the hand, slowly release the filler cap, absorbing any released
fluid with the cloth. Do not remove the filler cap until all excess fluid is
released and the engine cooling system fully depressurised.
