  • Page 9: Section 1, 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 10: Figure 1-2 - Starter Box

    LUBRICATION, COOLING AND SEALING - Oil is forced by air pressure from the oil reservoir through the oil cooler, thermostatic mixing valve, and oil filter and discharges into the compressor main oil gallery. A portion of the oil is directed through internal passages to the bearings, gears and shaft oil seal. The balance of the oil is injected directly into the compression chamber to remove heat of compression, seal internal clearances and lubricate the rotors.

Shut down compressor, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout power supply to the starter before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts and filters. Be sure the unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir. Disconnect, lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter.
  • Page 63 COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER (Figure 5-3, Page 54) - This screw on oil filter is a vital part in maintaining a trouble-free compressor, since it removes dirt and abrasives from the circulated oil. The oil filter relief valve is located in the oil filter head. The relief valve opens in the event the element becomes dirty enough to block the flow of oil.
  • Page 64: Figure 5-8 - Thermostatic Mixing Valve Element

    COMPRESSOR OIL COOLER - RADIATOR TYPE (Figure 1-5, page 10) - The oil cooler motor and fan is mounted on the oil cooler module; air is exhausted through the oil cooler and away from the unit. Do not obstruct air flow to and from the oil cooler. Allow a minimum of three (3) feet clearance around the cooler. Keep both faces of cooler core clean for efficient cooling of compressor oil.
  • Page 65: Figure 5-9 - Water Control Valve

    It is mandatory that any water-cooled unit be installed in a shelter heated to temperatures above freezing (32F, 0C). Oil cooler malfunction may be traced by checking pressure at oil inlet and outlet. At normal operating air service pressure (65 psig to 150 psig, 4.5 bar to 10.3 bar) with the unit warm, a pressure drop of 3 psi to 15 psi (.2 bar to 1 bar) can be expected between the oil inlet and the oil outlet.
  • Page 66 WATER FLOW CONTROL VALVE FOR HEAT EXCHANGER (Optional Equipment) (Figure 5-9, page 64) The water flow control valve is adjustable to compensate for varying water inlet temperatures and pressures and is to be mounted in the water outlet line after the oil cooler (Figure 5-3, page 54). Use the compressor discharge air temperature gauge on the instrument panel in setting the flow control valve.
  • Page 67: Figure 5-10 - Oil Separator

    WATER SHUTOFF VALVE - WATER-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER (Optional Equipment) (Figure 5-3, page 54) - A magnetic solenoid-operated water shutoff valve rated at 150 psig (10.3 bar) water pressure should be mounted in the water outlet line after the oil cooler. The valve should be wired into the compressor control circuit so that the valve opens to allow water to flow any time the compressor is running.
  • Page 68 Oil carryover malfunctions of the oil separator are usually due to using elements too long, heavy dirt or varnish deposits caused by inadequate air filter service, use of improper oil or using oil too long for existing conditions. A ruptured or collapsed separator element is usually due to heavy dirt or varnish buildup in the filtering material.
  • Page 69 Removal of Oil Separator for Inspection or Replacement: Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death. Shut down compressor, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout power supply to the starter before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts and filters.
  • Page 70 Oil Cooler Oil Pressure Differential (Air-Cooled Radiator) - Check differential across oil system by measuring oil inlet pressure as described above. Oil Cooler Oil Pressure Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger) – 2 psid to 25 psid (.1 bar to 1.7 bar) (65 psig to 150 psig, 4.5 bar to 10.3 bar receiver pressure) - Check that oil inlet pressure is correct or measure the differential between drains on the oil cooler shell.
  • Page 71: Section 6, Air Filter

    IMPORTANT. An improperly maintained air filter can cause a loss of compressor air delivery. Filter Element - Clean every 50 to 150 operating hours depending on dust conditions.
