The hose lines must be tested by a competent person. Based on the German regulations, Bauer recommends the following testing periods for compressors: •...
9 | Maintenance OPERATING MANUAL 9.8.2 Maintaining the filling valves A sintered filter in the filling valve body protects the filling valve from contamina- tion. Dismantle and clean the sintered filter of the filling valve as follows; in case of se- vere contamination, replace it if necessary: The compressor unit is switched off.
• The blow-off pressure of the safety valves must be checked at regular inter- vals. The country-specific statutory stipulations apply to the test intervals. BAUER KOMPRESSOREN however recommends an annual check of the safety valves. • If a check of the response pressure is impossible for technical reasons, the safety valves will need to be replaced.
Pressure gauges must be checked in accordance with the maintenance schedule. Using a special testing pressure gauge is recommended for checking the pressure gauges, see BAUER KOMPRESSOREN catalogue of high-pressure accessories. Allowances should be made for minor deviations during operation. If the pressure gauge shows large inaccuracies, however, it will need to be replaced.
9.11.2 Replacing the suction valves and pressure valves Only competent personnel may replace the valves of the compressor. For more in- formation, contact the BAUER customer service department, see Chapter 1.1.1 Contact data BAUER KOMPRESSOREN, Page NOTICE Material damage due to dissimilar suction and pressure valves!
