SECTION 1 - SAFETY 1.1 GENERAL SULLIVAN-PALATEK designs all its compressors so they can be operated safely despite the fact that operating a motor driven air compressor is inherently hazardous. Responsibility for continued safe operation rests with those who install, use and maintain the equipment.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK Do not use air pressure greater than 30 PSI (207 kPa) for blow-off or cleaning purposes, and then only with effective chip guarding and personal protective equipment as required by OSHA. Compressed air filters or lubricators with plastic bowls may be affected by lubricant and should not be used.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ 1.5 PHYSICAL DANGERS Wear OSHA approved personal protective gear including gloves, safety shoes, safety glasses, head covering, and ear protection when working on or around the compressor. Avoid bodily contact with hot oil, hot surfaces, sharp edges and corners. Keep all parts of the body away from all potential points of air discharge, including pressure relief valve ports.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK 1.8 LIFTING Lift or move the compressor only with equipment of sufficient load capacity that has been inspected and is in good condition. Keep personnel out from under and away from the area when lifting or moving the compressor. Lift no higher than necessary.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ 1.11 HAZARD WARNING SIGNS SULLIVAN-PALATEK compressors are all equipped with brightly colored, weather- resistant, pictorial/verbal self-adhesive decals. These are designed to warn the operator against potential hazards in order to minimize risk of property damage, bodily injury or death. All operators must be aware of the Warning Signs and follow the instructions thereon.
SEE INSTALLATION DRAWINGS ON PAGES 49 - 52 OF THIS MANUAL 2.1 DATA AND DIMENSIONS SULLIVAN-PALATEK reserves the right to change the design or construction of the above compressors, or to offer them with options which will cause subject equipment to differ from the above specifications, without reference to any descriptions in this manual.
For instrument-grade air, contact the factory for recommendations related to specialized compressed air preparation accessories. Whenever a SULLIVAN-PALATEK rotary screw compressor is installed in parallel with a reciprocating type of compressor, it is imperative that the SULLIVAN-PALATEK be the “lead”...
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK 3.4 INTAKE/CONTROL SYSTEM The intake/control system consists of: an air filter, connecting rubber elbow, clamps, a combination compressor inlet valve/reverse-flow check valve, control signal regulator valve, blowdown valve, and control pressure switch. (See Intake Control Schematic.) The air filter is a multi-stage dry-type with a high efficiency cleanable/replaceable cellulose element.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ With the selector switch in the “Run” position, the shutdown function of the control pressure switch is by-passed and the motor continues to run in an unloaded condition. With the resumption of plant air usage, the line pressure reduces to the “cut-in” setting of the control pressure switch where it closes.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK 3.6 COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE SYSTEM The compressor unit discharges a mixture of compressed air and lubricoolant directly into the oil separation tank where it accomplishes the following three functions: A) Primary separation - by change of direction and reduction of velocity, which allows the heavier droplets of lubricoolant to fall.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ 3.7 STARTER AND ELECTRICAL PARTS The three-phase electric motor starter supplied with the SULLIVAN-PALATEK Plant Air Compressor has a NEMA-1 rated enclosure. This is also the location of: the control power transformer, the Run-Off/Reset-Auto Start selector switch, a control relay, the...
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK 3.8 INSTRUMENTATION Each SULLIVAN-PALATEK Plant Air Compressor is equipped with two pressure gauges, one to monitor the oil separation tank pressure and another to measure line pressure. There is a temperature gauge that senses compressor discharge temperature. In addition, there are two differential pressure gauges sensing the pressure drop across the oil filter and the separator element.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ SECTION 4 - INSTALLATION 4.1 RECEIVING Carefully inspect for any signs of possible shipping damage 4.1a WELDING WARNING: Do not weld on compressor package. 4.2 LOCATION The standard compressor is designed for indoor operation or protected outdoor site with an ambient temperature range of 35°...
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ 4.6 DIRECTION OF ROTATION Once the control circuit has been checked, all piping installed, and compressor is filled with lubricoolant, “jog” the motor by momentarily moving the selector switch to “Run”...
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK then immediately back to “Off/Reset” to check for proper direction of rotation. Rotation should be as shown on the unit. In all cases, the fan air blows upwards. 4.7 COMPRESSED AIR PIPING Connect the compressor to the plant air system with a flexible connector rated for at least 200 psi (1380 kPa) and 275°...
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ SECTION 5 - OPERATION 5.1 INTRODUCTION Read this entire Operator’s Manual to familiarize yourself with the SULLIVAN-PALATEK Plant Air Compressor, giving special attention to the Section 1 - SAFETY. 5.2 INITIAL START Open main disconnect to be sure there is no power to the compressor.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK 5.3 NORMAL OPERATION Open and lock out main power disconnect. Check lubricoolant level. Refill if necessary. Re-close disconnect switch. Start machine in either “Run” or “Auto Start/Stop” mode. Fully open service air valve. Observe pressure and temperature. If temperature is incorrect, refer to SECTION 6.6 - TROUBLE SHOOTING.
_____________________________________SULLIVAN-PALATEK 6.2 OIL FILTER (Replace if differential pressure exceeds 15psid or every 1000 Hrs.) 1. Open and lock-out main disconnect. 2. Relieve all internal system pressure. 3. Using a strap wrench, remove spin-on oil filter elements. 4. Spread a thin film of grease on the gasket. 5.
SULLIVAN-PALATEK_____________________________________ 6.5 PRESSURE ADJUSTMENT Two capacity control features are incorporated in the Sullivan-Palatek compressors. The control pressure switch (CPS) will cycle the compressor between loaded and unloaded operation. This switch should be set so that the compressor loads when the...
