To ensure the compressor operates safely you must carry out the specified maintenance procedures. The standard build of all Hydrovane products are designed to compress clean, dry, atmospheric air and are not intended for use Only approved oils should be used for flushing purposes.
Pressure injection - Obtain immediate medical attention, even if injury appears minor. Hydrovane declines all liability in the event of material damage or bodily injury resulting from negligence in the application of these Spillage - Soak up with absorbent clay.
Single speed HV30-HV45 and all RS units have automatic stop/ start cooling fans that cut in at 85°C operating te mperature. Consult your local Hydrovane Distributor if you have any particular concerns about operational characteristics of your compressor. High Operating Temperatures Some of the reasons for high compressor oil temperatures are: •...
Model Weights are adequate for purpose and are rated to exceed the full load of the unit. Table 4.1 shows weights for the ACE HV04-HV45 compressors Lifting and Handling (Fig. 4.1 and Fig. 4.2) and the hypac range. Table 4.1 - Model Weights A fork lift or pallet truck are the most suitable means of transportation.
For maximum efficiency and reliability, the compressor should be QUALIFIED ELECTRICIANS. THEY MUST FULLY operated in a moderate ambient temperature. If temperatures frequently fall below 0° C, consult your Hydrovane D istributor. A UNDERSTAND AND ADOPT CORRECT AND different grade of oil may be required.
HV30-HV45 with the key provided. Pass incoming cables through the entry hole in the floor for HV04-HV22 or left WARNING ! hand side panel and rear of starter panel for HV30-HV45.
The RS compressor will automatically assume the lead compressor role after several cycles. NOTE ! If the RS compressor is operated with other Hydrovane standard single speed compressors feeding a common pressure system, the minimum air line pressure of the RS compressor must be limited to the lowest maximum air line pressure of the single speed machine(s).
An air drier is used to provide dry air (pressure dew point 3°C) for specialised applications. This User Manual covers the Hydrovane ACE HV04-HV45 vertical Where air demand fluctuates a compressor with receiver is used range of compressors. The hypac range contains a compressor to store large quantities of air.

AUT, press ENTER, AUT will flash, press plus up or minus down to select MO, press ENTER to select. WARNING ! PRESSURE CONTROL ADJUSTMENTS SHOULD BE CONDUCTED BY AUTHORISED HYDROVANE SERVICE ENGINEERS. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT MAY INVALIDATE THE COMPRESSOR WARRANTY.
Adjustments Pressure Control - RS Compressors The PL load and PU unload pressure may be adjusted from the default settings shown in Section 3, Product Information in the range of 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 bar. In menu P10 match the PL load to the nominal bar figure required, the PU unload 0.5 bar above, servo valve pressure is 1.0 bar above the nominal.
After very long periods, it is recommended that the speed control unit capacitors and cooling fan(s) be replaced to ensure continued reliability of the unit. Refer to your Hydrovane Distributor for details. Fig. 9.1 - Oil Level Sight Glass Location...
Servicing Basic Service WARNING ! STOP THE COMPRESSOR AND ISOLATE FROM THE MAINS ELECTRICAL SUPPLY. LOCK THE ISOLATOR IN THE OFF POSITION. FIT A SAFETY NOTICE ADVISING THAT WORK IS BEING CARRIED OUT ON THE COMPRESSOR. CLOSE THE AIR OUTLET VALVE TO ISOLATE THE COMPRESSOR FROM THE AIRLINE SYSTEM.
Servicing 9.10 Oil filling / Top-up (Fig. 9.3) Remove and retain the level plug (D) located behind the bypass valve (E) and fill the compressor with approved oil. When the level is correct, oil will overflow from the level plug. Stop filling, replace the level plug and clean away any spillage.
