4.2 Description
The ZEPHYR C-KLR is a double shaft rotary piston pressure vacuum pump in which the claws roll off
against each other contact free and dry. The counter-rotating claw rotors are synchronised by a gear pair
in the gearbox. The synchronous gearbox gear wheels and the bearing on the motor side are lubricated
with oil. These components are in a gearbox that also contains the oil supply. Oil conveying devices always
ensure that the bearings and the gear wheels are sufficiently supplied with oil at all permissible speeds. The
feed chamber has no sealants or lubricants. The gearbox and the compression chamber are separated from
each other by special seals. The gearbox is sealed from the outside with piston sealing rings and O rings,
the compressor chamber with piston rings.
The ZEPHYR C-KLR is enclosed in an insulation hood. In order to dissipate compression heat, the cooling
air is sucked through between the machine and the hood using drum fan that sucks in the fresh cooling air
(Fig. 2/E) and discharges the heated air out of the cooling air outlet (Fig. 2/F). The compressed air aftercooler
(Fig. 2/R) provides a low blowing air temperature.The ZEPHYR C-KLR is driven by standard flanged three-
phase motors via a coupling (with an elastomer component).
Relief valves (Fig. 2/ZUV) and (Fig. 2/ZBD) are installed as standard to protect against overload..
These contact free running claw pressure vacuum pumps models C-KLR 80 and C-KLR 140 are suitable for
creating pressure and vacuum at the same time. Constant operation is permissible.
The nominal flow rate is 80 and 140 m3/h at 50 Hz. The load limits (bars) on the intake and pressure sides
are specified on the data plate (Fig. 2/N). Data sheet D 883 shows the dependency of the flow rate on the
excess pressures.
If the unit is switched on more frequently (at regular
intervals of about 12 times (C-KLR 80) or 10 times
(C-KLR 140) per hour or at higher ambient tem-
peratures and intake temperatures, the excess tem-
perature limit of the motor winding and the bearings
may be exceeded.Please contact the manufacturer
should the unit be used under such conditions.
If it is installed in the open air the unit must be pro-
tected from environmental influences, (e.g. by a pro-
tective roof).
5 Installation
5.1 Preparing for installation
The oil filling point (Fig. 2/H), oil sight glass (Fig. 2/I) and the oil outlets (Fig. 2/K) must be easily
accessible. The cooling air inlets (Fig. 2/E) and the cooling air outlets (Fig. 2/F) must be at least
20 cm away from adjacent walls. Cooling air coming out must not be sucked in again.
For maintenance work there must be a minimum of 40 cm in front of the inlet filters (Fig. 2/S, 2/S1).
5.2 Installation
NOTICE
It is possible to install the machine on a firm base without anchoring. When installing on a sub-
structure we recommend fixing with flexible buffers.
NOTICE

NOTICE
Power supply
The conditions at the installation location must
match the information on the motor data plate.
Without derating the following is permissible:
• ± 5% Voltage deviation
• ± 2% Frequency deviation
WARNING
Improper use
May lead to severe or fatal injuries. Therefore be
sure to obey the safety instructions.
CAUTION
Hot surfaces
When the machine is at operating temperature the
surface temperatures on the components (Fig. 2/
Q) may go above 70°C.
You must avoid touching the hot surfaces (mar-
ked with warning plates).
CAUTION
Noise emission
The highest noise pressure levels measured as
per EN ISO 3744 are given in Section 9.
When spending a long time in the vicinity of the
running machine use ear protectors to avoid per-
manent damage to your hearing.
NOTICE

DANGER
WARNING
Hot surfaces
During maintenance work there is the danger of
getting burnt on hot components (Fig. 2/Q) of the
machine.
Wait for the machine to cool down.
Regular maintenance work must be carried out in order to ensure operational safety.
Maintenance intervals also depend on the operational demands on the machine.
With any work observe the safety instructions described in Section 2.8 “Safety notes for installation, com-
missioning and maintenance”.
The whole unit should always be kept in a clean condition.

WARNING
1 Danger of injury when dealing with com-
pressed air.
When blowing through with compressed air, solid
particles may be carried along or powder dust swir-
ling around may cause injury to the eyes. Therefore,
when cleaning with compressed air always wear
goggles and a dust mask.
