    Operating instructions discharge pressure. During normal compressor operation, the compressor unit essentially oper- ates as its own oil pump. All oil entering the compressor is moved by the compressor rotors out the compressor outlet and back to the oil separator. For normal high-stage operation an oil pump is not required.

Function The function of the automatic oil return valve, EVRB, is to return the separated oil in the fine sepa- rator to the compressor.
  • Page 37: Cold-Start System

    Operating instructions Fig. 18 Note: The sectional view shows the valve structure. Some of the internal oil channels are not visible. 6.11 Cold-start system The unit is equipped with a special "cold-start" discharge valve. This valve ensures a rapid devel- opment of oil pressure at initial start-up in order to lubricate the compressor without requiring an oil pump, even in cold ambient temperatures with all pressures equalised.
  • Page 38 Operating instructions side, these pressures will act across a piston inside the cold-start valve to partially overcome the spring force. When the differential pressure reaches and exceeds 2.0 bar [30 psi], the piston fully overcomes the spring force and powers the valve fully open for a very low operating pressure drop.
  • Page 39: Compressor Hydraulic System

    Operating instructions 6.12 Compressor hydraulic system The compressor hydraulic system moves the movable slide valve (MSV) to load and unload the compressor. It also moves the movable slide stop (MSS) to increase or decrease the compressor’s volume ratio (Vi). The hydraulic cylinder located at the inlet end of the SGC compressor serves a dual purpose. It is separated by a fixed bulkhead into two sections.
  • Page 40: Volumizer Volume Ratio Control

    Operating instructions Booster compressor loading The compressor loads when the MSV solenoid valve, YY2, is energised, and oil flows from the oil manifold through the valve ports, P and B, to the cylinder port, SC2, and enters the loading side of the cylinder.
  • Page 41: Compressor Oil Cooling Systems

    Operating instructions 6.16 Compressor oil cooling systems The unit can be equipped with one of several systems for controlling the compressor oil tempera- ture. They are single or dual-port liquid injection and refrigerant-cooled (thermosyphon) or water-cooled oil coolers. Each system is automatically controlled, independent of compressor loading or unloading.
