2 Machine description 2-5


2.3 Compressor unit (cont.)

Description Air end (item 8)


aggregate The direction of rotation of the air end is to the left (anti-
components clockwise) when looking from the front-side on to the shaft (see
picture). Pay attention to the directional arrow on the side of the
air end with the sign D.

Suction air filter (item 6)


The suction air filter is directly mounted on to the suction stud of
the suction regulator.
The dry micro-filter with a rating of 10 µm filters the intake air.

Pressure switch (electric)


The pressure switch is directly connected to the outlet of the
machine. It controls the suction regulator. The values for pmax
and pmin are set at this switch.
pmax: is the upper service pressure at which the unit normally
stops pumping
Pmin: is the lower service pressure at which the unit normally
starts pumping again.

The pressure switch has been correctly set in the factory.


Authorised personnel must only carry out adjustments to the
pressure switch.

Suction regulator
The suction regulator is directly connected to the air end. It con-
trols the air volume sucked in by the compressor via the air suc-
tion filter.
Function of the suction regulator:
The suction regulator comprises of one main valve. This oper-
ates as a control valve and at the same time as a hermetically
sealed isolator valve. At full load the suction cross-section is
fully opened.
When the machine stops this valve closes quickly and thus the
suction cross section is locked altogether.
The multi-functions of the regulator are ensured by just one
flange mounted control unit.

Minimum pressure valve


The minimum pressure valve is situated at the outlet of the
compressor unit just before the air-after cooler.
It performs two tasks:

1) As a minimum pressure valve it prevents a loss of pressure


(in the air end) when no counter pressure in the air-mains is
available. A minimum pressure is necessary in order to safe-
guard lubrication of the air end.

2 Machine description 2-6


2.3 Compressor unit (continuation)

Description unit 2) As a “non return valve“ it prevents at the same time the re-
components verse flow of compressed air from the air mains or the air ves-
(contd.) sel, back into the compressor unit. Due to this function the
compressor unit is totally pressure relieved once it is stopped.

The valve operates automatically. The setting of the minimum


pressure valve must only be done by persons authorised by the
manufacturer.

Oil separator cartridge (Item 7)


The oil separator cartridge is not only designed for filtering the
oil from the compressed air, but serves at the same time to
reclaim the residual oil after pre-separation as drops, formerly
micro-distributed in the system. This cartridge is a spin on/off
type and – by means of the connection nipple – is screwed on
to the filter support of the oil re-claimer (see illustration below)

sealing

separator
compressed air
Illustration: oil separator cartridge

Oil return scavenge window / oil return scavenge


non-return valve
The oil return window (fitted to some air ends) is situated
near to the oil separator cartridge and shows the scavenged
oil coming from the a.m. cartridge.

When starting the compressor the scavenge window is filled


with oil due to its accumulation during standstill. After a few
minutes a mixture of oil and air can be observed. Separation
of oil in the cartridge takes place.
If after a longer period of operating time no oil can be observed
in the scavenge window, a disturbance may have happened
e.g. a clogged borehole. As a consequence the oil separated
will be carried over in the compressed air into the air
mains/vessel.
Only personnel authorised by the manufacturer are allowed
to rectify such problems.

Description: Oil scavenge window / oil scavenge non-return valve

tinuation)
Oil filter (item 12)
The oil filter (cartridge) cleans the compressor oil from impuri-
ties. The cartridge is screwed on to the scavenge stud by hand.
The efficiency of the filter is about 25 µm.

Combistat
The Combistat is a temperature indicator and control unit.
It is built into the instrument panel. It monitors the maximum
permissible service temperature of the unit, which is set at
110°C (red mark).
When this temperature is reached the electric circuit is discon-
nected and the unit stops automatically.
Do not bend the connecting line between the compressor and
the Combistat, otherwise the electric circuit is interrupted.

Safety valve (item 10)


The safety valve is mounted on the oil re-claimer before the oil
separator cartridge. It is set 1-2 bar above the max. gauged
pressure. The safety valve blows off in case the final pressure
is exceeded due to a fault somewhere in the system.

• A non-return valve between the machine
and the compressed air system is not
required as it has already been integrated
in the machine.
Connection • Connect the system without voltage and
isolated against vibrations to the com-
pressed air system e.g. by using a flexible
hose
Shut-off valve • The additional installation of a shut-off
valve is recommended to facilitate
maintenance tasks at the compressor
without de-pressurising the compressed
air system.

3.3 Compressor start-up

Content This section covers important information which you need to


observe in order to start up the compressor safely.

General points Each component of the machine is tested at the factory in con-
tinuous operation after the final assembly. The test ensures that
the components indicate the data given and operate fault-free.
During the initial hours of operation the machine must be
watched to determine any possible malfunctions.

Important!
The respective operating manuals must be read and observed
for machines with additional optionally installed components
(electronic control, frequency converter, refrigerant dryer).

Preparation The following points must be observed and carried out before
the first start-up:

Step Task to be carried out / Points to be


observed:

1 Have an electrician tighten all screw and terminal


connections in the control cabinet

2 The motor bearings of compressors, without perma-


nent greased motor bearings, that are unused longer
than 6 month have to be regreased before putting into
operation

3 A clearly visible sign must be affixed to machines with


remote control with the following wording:
Warning! This machine is remote controlled and
may start without warning!

When controlling the machine remotely you must take


the safety precautions which prevent the
machine from starting up while it is controlled
or maintained; place a relevant instruction on the
remote control switch
4 Do not use the emergency or main switch to switch
the machine off during normal operations

lined...

... in Chapter 4.4. “Remedying malfunctions in normal opera-


tion” and
... in the operator’s internal servicing documents.

5 Maintenance 5-5
5.3 Venting the compressor system

Contents This section outlines the main points to be taken into account
when the unit has to be vented.

Why vent? The pressure has to be removed from the unit before all servic-
ing and maintenance work. The unit vents automatically when
switched off but if there is a fault the unit might remain pressur-
ised even after being switched off. Since this is not evident from
the outside it is always essential to vent the unit before servic-
ing work.

Beware of burns when unit is at operating temperature!


The oil filler plug can reach temperatures
up to approx. 110 °C ! Always use gloves when handling
the oil filler plug!
When the oil filler plug is unscrewed the residual pressure
may cause hot oil to squirt out! It is therefore essential to
wear safety goggles!

Venting the com- It is essential to adhere to the following instructions in order to


pressor system avoid the above risks of personal injury or death:

Step Operation
Switch off the unit and take measures to prevent it
1
from being restarted.
2 Unscrew cap on filler neck (oil filler plug) by hand.
The first five rotations of this plug must be made
slowly in an anti-clockwise direction until the detect-
3 able “snap point” is reached; the oil filler plug has a
side safety borehole through which the residual
pressure can gradually discharge.
Wait until all the pressure in the unit has been re-
4
lieved; the unit is now depressurised.

5 Maintenance 5-6
5.4 Cleaning work

The optimum capacity of the system and service life of the


V-belt is guaranteed only if the belt is correctly tensioned.
Please check the setting before start up and after 100 oper-
ating hours, as well as according to the information in the
maintenance plan.

For replacing or re-tensioning the V-belt, please proceed as


follows:

Decomissioning of Step Activity


plant
1 A qualified electrician should disconnect the
compressor from power supply and lock off isolator
to ensure it can not be restarted by accident.

2 Check oil level and fill if necessary (see


Chapter 5.5 "Checking oil level") The unit
should be stored with its oil tank filled to the
max. recommended level

3 Slacken the V-belt (see Chapter 5.11


“Tensioning and changing of belt”).
Do not cover the unit with any material that
is impermeable to air. Doing so intensifies the
corrosion of individual parts.

6.2 Re-commissioning after storage

Re-commissioning Compressor units that have been switched off,


information decommissioned or stored away for longer than 3 months,
should not be put back into operation until the following
measures have been carried out.

Re-commissioning Follow the procedure outlined below to return the compressor to


after storage operation after being out of commission for 3 months or more.

Step Activity

1 Turn the screw compressor in the direction of


rotation several times by hand.

2 Remove the air inlet filter and manifold and pour


approx. 0.1 litres of oil (“manufacturer recommended
compressor oil only”) into the suction port. Then, turn
the screw compressor by hand in the direction of the
rotation arrow (anti-clockwise) once more.

3 Check the oil level (in the reclaimer tank) and fill
where necessary, see 5.5. “Checking of oil level”.

4 Connect unit: see Chapter 3.2 “Connections”.

Maintenance of Motor Bearings

Contents This Appendix provides an overview of how motor bearings are


to be maintained. This description only applies to current sys-
tems and may differ to the maintenance required for older mo-
tors.

Continuously lubri- Our compressors up to 37kW are fitted with motors having
cated motor bear- closed, continuously lubricated deep-groove ball bearings –
ings theoretical service life is between 15,000 and 30,000 operating
hours (oh). If operating conditions are different to that defined
in the instruction manual, it is imperative that the maintenance
intervals are adjusted to the prevailing circumstances and con-
ditions to ensure reliable operations. Should there be high lev-
els of dirt and dust, frequent switch-ons and high ambient tem-
peratures as well as operations at 60Hz, the maintenance inter-
vals must be adjusted accordingly.

Description 1. Switch off unit and prevent it from being restarted by


Procedure for re- accident.
placing bearings 2. If applicable, uninstall the motor and remove the ancillary
components (fan impeller, frame, fan cover, pulley)
3. Disassemble the bearing cover (center) and bearing shield
(outside)
4. Remove the old bearing with a puller (if difficult, carefully
warm up the bearing) and remove the old grease
5. Carefully warm up the inner ring of the new bearing
6. Push the new bearing to the stop on the shaft and keep it
there briefly
7. Generously grease the new bearing with suitable grease
8. Re-assemble the bearing cover and bearing shield
9. Re-install bearing seal

The type designations of the motor bearings can be found in


Table 1.

AW2 – Appendix Motor Bearings AW-1


Appendix W2 Maintenance of Motor Bearings (cont.)

Motor bearings re- Our motors from 45 kW are fitted with “open” ball bearings.
quiring re- Motors this size and up have re-lubrication devices on the A-
lubrication and B-sides.
These bearings must be re-lubricated regularly in accordance
with the information given in the maintenance check sheet.
Our motors are pre-lubricated from the factory with a polyurea-
based high-temperature grease for min. 150°C.
For instance, SKF LGHP 2 or a polyurea-based equivalent
is to be used. Order no.: 10254
It is imperative that these specifications are adhered to when
re-lubricating the motor bearings as mixing different greases
can significantly shorten the life of the bearings.

NB! If operating conditions are different, it is imperative that the


maintenance intervals are adjusted to the local circumstances
and conditions to ensure reliable operations. This means that
should there be high levels of dirt and dust, frequent switch-ons
and high ambient temperatures as well as operations at 60Hz,
the maintenance intervals must be shortened.

Procedure for re- Please carry out the following steps to re-lubricate the mo-
lubrication tor bearings:

1. Switch off unit and prevent it from being restarted by


accident.
2. Thoroughly clean the grease nipples and surrounds.
3. Remove the cap of the re-lubrication device.
4. Remove the cover of the drainage opening (usually oppo-
site). Excess grease is discharged here.
5. Introduce approx. half of the grease to be used for re-
lubrication – it is best to use a grease gun. Then let the mo-
tor run for approximately 1 minute.
6. Switch the unit off and introduce the remaining re-lubrication
grease.
7. Re-install the cap of the re-lubrication device and the cover of
the drainage opening.

Idleness of If the motors are idle for a longer period of time, the motor shaft
motors should be rotated once a month. Rotate the motor shaft manu-
ally for at least 5 rotations and bring to a stop in a different posi-
tion to the starting position.
If the motors have to be idle for more than 6 months, the motor
bearings must be re-lubricated before start-up.
If the motors have to be idle for more than 2 years, the motor
bearings must be replaced.

End Pessure Switch

Contents This chapter provides a brief overview of all the pressure switch
functions.

Warning!

From the factory side, the pressure switch is ideally adjusted to


the respective machine configuration. Any change to the default
settings can have serious consequences on the service life of
your system. The legal warranty will expire if making changes
that have not been discussed in advance with RENNER Kom-
pressoren GmbH.

Function The pressure switch controls the switch-on and switch-off pres-
sure applicable for the respective system. The difference be-
tween switch-on and switch-off pressure is generally 1.5 bar.
For changes to the switch-off pressure settings made on the
factory side, the safety valve is activated if the the permitted
maximum pressure is exceeded.

Operating instructions
for the refrigerant drier

Content In this chapter you receive a brief overview for the optionally
installed refrigerant drier.

Please follow the refrigerant drier safety instructions found in


the separate operating manual. It is particularly dangerous to
breath-in the cooling steam or get in contact with the cooling
agents. Smoking when working on the refrigerant drier is pro-
hibited, since the cooling agent will developpoisonous vapours
when getting in touch with the glowing end of a cigarette or oth-
er open flame (e.g. welding work).

Function The refrigerant air drier contains a cooling system for cooling
the compressed air. The compressed air is also de-humidified.
The condensate created here is discharged through a conden-
sate separator.

Make sure that the air inlet and outlet is never impaired or
blocked. Adequate distance must be maintained between the
ventilation grids and room walls.
Please follow the figure in Chapter 2.3 and the information in
Chapter 2.3.1 of the Operating Manual of the refrigerant drier
supplier.

After turning on the refrigerant drier, wait 5 minutes until the


pressure has equalised. Only then, start the compressor.
