  • Page 10: Section 1, General Information

    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.

  • Page 14 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 Both the air-cooled and water-cooled units require cooling air as well as air to the compressor inlet. Proper ventilation MUST be provided; hot air must be exhausted from the compressor operating area. A typical inlet-outlet air flow arrangement is shown in Figure 2-1. Figure 2-1 –...
  • Page 16 (.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°...
  • Page 17 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.
  • Page 18 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.
  • Page 19 DISCHARGE SERVICE LINE - The discharge service line connection on both water-cooled and air- cooled units is made at the right hand corner of the unit, viewed from the opposite end from control panel side. When manifolding two or more rotary screw units on the same line, each unit is isolated by the check valve in the unit discharge line.
