GENERAL INFORMATION Figure 1-1 – COMPRESSION CYCLE COMPRESSOR - The Gardner Denver Rotary Screw compressor is a single stage, positive displacement rotary machine using meshing helical rotors to effect compression. Both rotors are supported between high capacity roller bearings located outside the compression chamber. Single width cylindrical roller bearings are used at the inlet end of the rotors to carry part of the radial loads.
Page 11
TURN VALVE (ELECTRA-SAVER ONLY) - The turn valve is a rotary helical valve located on the discharge side of the cylinder toward the inlet end. The valve opens and closes ports in the cylinder which communicates with the inlet passage.

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION GENERAL - On receipt of the unit, check for any damage that may have been incurred during transit. Report any damage or missing parts as soon as possible. Do not electric weld on the compressor or base; bearings can be damaged by passage of current.
Page 15
LOCATION - The compressor should be installed, whenever possible, in a clean, well-lighted, well- ventilated area with ample space all around for maintenance. Select a location that provides a cool, clean, dry source of air. In some cases it may be necessary to install the air filter at some distance from the compressor to obtain proper air supply.

(.9 m) to the nearest obstruction above and on other sides of the unit. FOUNDATION - The Gardner Denver Rotary Screw compressor requires no special foundation, but should be mounted on a smooth, solid surface. Whenever possible install the unit near level. Temporary installation may be made at a maximum 10°...

Provide at least some simple shelter such as a plywood windbreak to protect against drifting snow. Use only Gardner Denver AEON 9000 SP lubricant. Monitor the unit carefully during start-up and operation to be sure it is functioning normally.

Refer to Engineering Data Sheet 13-9-411, available from an authorized Gardner Denver distributor, for the advantages of using the heat recovered from rotary compressors. This heat recovery could easily pay for an adequate shelter for the unit.

When connecting two or more GD rotary screw units on a common manifold, each unit is isolated by the check valve in the unit discharge line. If a Gardner Denver rotary screw unit is connected to another compressor on a common manifold be sure the other compressor has a check valve in the line between the machine and the manifold.
