1.3 Safety precautions during installation


All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.

Precautions during installation


1. The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable safety
regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is strictly forbidden to
dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and deceleration must be kept within
safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
2. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must be taken;
consult your supplier.
3. In case the device is a compressor, place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and clean as possible.
If necessary, install a suction duct. Never obstruct the air inlet. Care must be taken to minimize the entry
of moisture at the inlet air.
4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the pipes.
5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or
worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for the working
pressure.
6. In case the device is a compressor, the aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapors and particles,
e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
7. In case the device is a compressor, arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannot be
drawn in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand under
heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.
10. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This machine is
remotely controlled and may start without warning.
The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and depressurized and that the electrical isolating
switch is open, locked and labelled with a temporary warning before any maintenance or repair. As a
further safeguard, persons switching on or off remotely controlled machines shall take adequate
precautions to ensure that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable
notice shall be affixed to the start equipment.
11. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is available and
that the exhausted air does not recirculate to the compressor air inlet or cooling air inlet.
12. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines must be earthed and
protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power isolating switch must be installed
near the compressor.
13. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function after voltage failure is
activated, a sign stating "This machine may start without warning" must be affixed near the instrument
panel.
14. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each compressor. Non-return
valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure systems.
15. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the machine. Every pressure
vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure must be
protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.

6 9829 3060 90
Instruction book

16. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 70˚C (158˚F) and which may be accidentally touched
by personnel in normal operation must be guarded or insulated. Other high temperature piping must be
clearly marked.
17. For water-cooled machines, the cooling water system installed outside the machine has to be protected by
a safety device with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure.
18. If the ground is not level or can be subject to variable inclination, consult the manufacturer.
19. If the device is a dryer and no free extinguishing system is present in the air net close to the dryer, safety
valves must be installed in the vessels of the dryer.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and Safety
precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.

1.4 Safety precautions during operation


All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.

Precautions during operation


1. Never touch any piping or components of the compressor during operation.
2. Use only the correct type and size of hose end fittings and connections. When blowing through a hose or
air line, ensure that the open end is held securely. A free end will whip and may cause injury. Make sure
that a hose is fully depressurized before disconnecting it.
3. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there
is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote
start equipment.
4. Never operate the machine when there is a possibility of taking in flammable or toxic fumes, vapors or
particles.
5. Never operate the machine below or in excess of its limit ratings.
6. Keep all bodywork doors shut during operation. The doors may be opened for short periods only, e.g. to
carry out routine checks. Wear ear protectors when opening a door.
On compressors without bodywork, wear ear protection in the vicinity of the machine.
7. People staying in environments or rooms where the sound pressure level reaches or exceeds 80 dB(A)
shall wear ear protectors.
8. Periodically check that:
• All guards are in place and securely fastened
• All hoses and/or pipes inside the machine are in good condition, secure and not rubbing
• No leaks occur
• All fasteners are tight
• All electrical leads are secure and in good order
• Safety valves and other pressure relief devices are not obstructed by dirt or paint
• Air outlet valve and air net, i.e. pipes, couplings, manifolds, valves, hoses, etc. are in good repair, free
of wear or abuse

9829 3060 90 7
Instruction book

• Air cooling filters of the electrical cabinet are not clogged


9. If warm cooling air from compressors is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a workroom, take
precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing air.
10. On water-cooled compressors using open circuit cooling towers, protective measures must be taken to
avoid the growth of harmful bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila bacteria.
11. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material.
12. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine. Every pressure
vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure shall be
protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.
13. Yearly inspect the air receiver. Minimum wall thickness as specified in the instruction book must be
respected. Local regulations remain applicable if they are more strict.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.

1.5 Safety precautions during maintenance or repair


All responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, or
non observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,
maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by the
manufacturer.

Precautions during maintenance or repair


1. Always use the correct safety equipment (such as safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.).
2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.
3. Use only genuine spare parts.
4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.
5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress; do not start" shall be attached to the starting
equipment.
6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there
is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the remote
start equipment.
7. Close the compressor air outlet valve and depressurize the compressor before connecting or disconnecting
a pipe.
8. Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all sources of pressure
and relieve the entire system of pressure.
9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety precautions against
toxic vapours of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering the parts
and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be completely
purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any way modify,
pressure vessels.

8 9829 3060 90
Instruction book

12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapour when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly.
They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and that
they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shaft has been
reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oil separator
vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering
them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the bodywork
and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by
genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
21. The following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if required, use
breathing protection.
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin with water. If
liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter; flush
abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; then seek medical
first aid.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during operation.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence
some statements may not apply to your machine.

2.2 Air and oil system

Flow diagrams

Flow diagram of G compressor

Air flow
Air drawn through filter (AF) and unloader (UA) is compressed in compressor element (E). Compressed air
and oil are discharged through check valve (CV) to air receiver/oil separator (AR) where oil is separated from
the compressed air. The air is blown through minimum pressure valve (Vp) to air cooler (Ca).
On G Pack compressors, the cooled air is discharged through condensate trap (MTa) and outlet (AO) towards
the air net.
Check valve (CV) prevents blow-back of compressed air.
Minimum pressure valve (Vp) prevents the receiver pressure from dropping below a minimum pressure. The
valve has a built-in check valve.

12 9829 3060 90
Instruction book

Oil system
Air pressure forces the oil from receiver (AR) through oil cooler (Co), filters (OF) and oil stop valve (Vs) to
compressor element (E) and the lubrication points.
Oil stop valve (Vs) prevents the compressor elements from flooding with oil when the compressor is stopped.
Valve (BV) by-passes oil cooler (Co) when starting the compressor from a cold condition, so ensuring rapid
warming of the oil to normal working temperature.
In air receiver (AR) most of the oil is removed from the air centrifugally. Almost all of the remaining oil is
removed by the separator element.

Regulating system
The compressor is controlled by an Elektronikon regulator (1).
The regulator keeps the net pressure within programmable pressure limits by automatically loading and
unloading the compressor depending on the air consumption. It also protects the compressor and monitors
components subject to service.

Unloading
If the air consumption is less than the air delivery of the compressor, the net pressure increases. When the net
pressure reaches the upper limit of the working pressure (unloading pressure), solenoid valve (5) is de-
energized. The plunger of the valve moves downwards by spring force:

G 110 - G 160

Phase Description
1 The plunger of solenoid valve (5) shuts off the supply of receiver pressure towards
chamber (2).
2 Control pressure present in chamber (2) is vented to the atmosphere. Plunger (3) of blow-
off valve (4) is moved by air receiver pressure, allowing air receiver pressure to chamber
(6).
3 Valve (7) is pushed upwards closing off the air inlet.
4 A small flow of air remains drawn in via channel (8), and is finally blown from the receiver
via channel (10) to the air inlet.
5 Air delivery is stopped (0%), the compressor runs unloaded while chamber (6) contains a
steady overpressure (receiver unload pressure minus Blow Off valve (4) pressure drop).

G 200 - G 250

Phase Description
1 The plunger of solenoid valve (5) shuts off the supply of receiver pressure towards
chamber (2).
2 Control pressure present in chamber (2) is vented to atmosphere through loading solenoid
valve (5). Unloading valve (7) closes by spring force.
3 Valve (9) is pushed downwards releasing receiver pressure through flexible (6) and
channels (3 and 4) towards the air inlet.
4 A small flow of air remains drawn in through hole (8) and channel (3), and is blown from
receiver (10) via flexible (6) to the air inlet.
5 Air delivery is stopped (0%), the compressor runs unloaded.

G 315 - G 355

Phase Description
1 The plunger of solenoid valve (Y1) connects chamber (3) and chamber (5).

18 9829 3060 90
Instruction book

2 Driven by the pressure difference in unloader pressure chambers (3) and (5), unloader
plunger (8) moves downwards.
3 The compressor stage keeps drawing in air through calibrated bypass holes (10b) and
(9) to maintain the unloading pressure level.
4 The air delivery stops, the compressor runs unloaded.

Loading
When the net pressure decreases to the lower limit of the working pressure (loading pressure), solenoid valve
(5) is energized. The plunger of solenoid valve (5) moves upwards against spring force:

G 110 - G 160

Phase Description
1 The plunger of solenoid valve (5) opens the supply of receiver pressure towards chamber
(2). Plunger (3) of blow-off valve (4) moves, closing off the air pressure supply towards
chamber (6).
2 Valve (7) moves downwards since the pressure in chamber (6) drops below atmospheric
pressure, opening the air inlet to the compressor element.
3 Air delivery is resumed (100%), the compressor runs loaded while the piston-rod-valve
assembly is only surrounded by atmospheric pressure.

G 200 - G 250

Phase
1 The plunger of solenoid valve (5) opens the supply of receiver pressure towards chamber
(2). Unloading valve (7) opens against spring force.
2 Receiver pressure also pushes valve (9) upwards, shutting off blow-off channels (3 and
4).
3 Air delivery is resumed (100%), the compressor runs loaded.

G 315 - G 355

Phase
1 The plunger of solenoid valve (Y1) connects chamber (3) and compressor stage,
unloader plunger (8) moves upwards.
2 Bypass holes (10b) and (9) close, air reciever (12) stop releasing air and pressure will
increase.
3 Air delivery is resumed, the compressor runs loaded.

3 Elektronikon® Graphic controller

3.1 Elektronikon® Graphic controller

Control panel

Display of the Elektronikon® Graphic controller

Introduction
The Elektronikon controller has following functions:
• Controlling the compressor
• Protecting the compressor
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (made inactive)

Automatic control of the compressor operation


The controller maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading and
unloading the compressor (on compressors running at a fixed speed) or by adapting the motor speed
(compressors with frequency converter). A number of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading
pressures (for fixed speed compressors), the setpoint (for compressors with frequency converter), the
minimum stop time and the maximum number of motor starts and several other parameters are hereby taken
into account.
The controller stops the compressor whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the net pressure decreases. In case the expected unloading period is too short, the
compressor is kept running to prevent too short standstill periods.

A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into
account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the compressor.

20 9829 3060 90
Instruction book

Protecting the compressor


Shut-down
Several sensors are provided on the compressor. If one of the measured signals exceeds the programmed shut-
down level, the compressor will be stopped. This will be indicated on display (1) and general alarm LED (2)
will blink.
Remedy the trouble and reset the message. See also the Inputs menu.

Before remedying, consult the applicable safety precautions.

Shut-down warning
A shut-down warning level is a programmable level below the shut-down level.
If one of the measured signals exceeds the programmed shut-down warning level, a message will appear on
display (1) and general alarm LED (2) will light up to warn the operator that the shut-down warning level is
exceeded.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.

Warning
A warning message will appear if, on Full-Feature compressors, the dew point temperature is too high in
relation to the ambient temperature.

Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped (called Service Plans). Each Service Plan has a programmed time
interval. If a time interval is exceeded, a message will appear on display (1) to warn the operator to carry out
the service actions belonging to that Service Plan.

Automatic restart after voltage failure


The controller has a built-in function to automatically restart the compressor when the voltage is restored after
voltage failure. For compressors leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired, the function
can be activated. Consult the Atlas Copco Customer Centre.

If the function is activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation mode,
the compressor will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored.

Example for service level (A):


The figures at the left are the programmed service intervals. For Service interval A, the programmed number
of running hours is 4000 hours (upper row) and the programmed number of real time hours is 8760 hours,
which corresponds to one year (second row). This means that the controller will launch a service warning
when either 4000 running hours or 8760 real hours are reached, whichever comes first. Note that the real time
hours counter keeps counting, also when the controller is not powered.

42 9829 3060 90
Instruction book

The figures within the bars are the number of hours to go till the next service intervention. In the example
above, the compressor was just started up, which means it still has 4000 running hours or 8280 hours to go
before the next Service intervention.

Service plans
A number of service operations are grouped (called Level A, Level B, etc...). Each level stands for a number
of service actions to be carried out at the time intervals programmed in the Elektronikon® controller.
When a service plan interval is reached, a message will appear on the screen.
After carrying out the service actions related to the indicated levels, the timers must be reset.

or to a dedicated PC via a local area network (LAN). This allows to consult certain data and settings via a PC
instead of the display of the controller.

Getting started

If the compressor is equipped with a SMARTBOX, the network connection of the


Elektronikon is already in use. To allow the web server functionality, the network cable that
is connected to the SMARTBOX should be unplugged and replaced by the cable of the
company network.
If both the web server functionality and SMARTBOX are required, please contact your
local Atlas Copco Customer Centre for support.

Make sure you are logged in as administrator.


• Use the internal network card from your computer or a USB to LAN adapter (see picture below).

Terminology

Term Explanation
ARAVF Automatic restart after voltage failure. See Elektronikon regulator.
Compressor The regulator does not accept illogical settings, e.g. if the warning level is programmed at
element outlet 95˚C/203˚F, the minimum limit for the shut-down level changes to 96˚C/204˚F. The
recommended difference between the warning level and shut-down level is 10˚C/18˚F.
Required stop Once the compressor has automatically stopped, it will remain stopped for the minimum
period/Minimum stop time (approx. 20 seconds), whatever the net air pressure. In automatic operation, the
stop time compressor will not be stopped by the regulator until a standstill period of at least the sum
of the minimum stop time and required stop period is expected. However, if the decrease
in air net pressure should require a new start of the compressor, the regulator will start the
compressor after the minimum stop time.
Power recovery Is the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic restart. Is
time accessible if the automatic restart is activated. See Elektronikon regulator. To activate the
automatic restart function, consult Atlas Copco.
Unloading/ The regulator does not accept illogical settings, e.g. if the unloading pressure is
Loading pressure programmed at 7.0 bar(e)/101 psig, the maximum limit for the loading pressure changes
to 6.9 bar(e)/100 psig. The recommended minimum pressure difference between loading
and unloading is 0.6 bar/9 psig.
Delay at shut- Is the time for which the signal must exist before the compressor is shut down. If it is
down signal required to program this setting to another value, consult Atlas Copco.
Permissive start The compressor will not start if this level is exceeded at the moment of starting. If the level
level remains too high for 30 seconds, the message “Start failure” will appear on the display.

Description

Phase Description
1 Install the compressor on a level floor suitable for taking its weight. For ventilation
alternative 1 (indicated as Alt. 1), the minimum distance between the top of the bodywork
and the ceiling is 1200 mm (47 in).
2 Remove the plastic plug (if provided) from the compressor air outlet pipe and fit the air
outlet valve (to be provided by the customer) to the pipe. Close the valve and connect it
to the net.
3 The pressure drop over the air outlet pipe can be calculated as follows:
dp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x p)
d = Inner diameter of the outlet pipe in mm
dp = Pressure drop (recommended maximum = 0.1 bar)
L = Length of outlet pipe in m
p = Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
Qc = Free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
It is recommended that the connection of the compressor air outlet pipe is made on top of
the main air net pipe in order to minimize carry-over of possible condensate residue.
As a rule of thumb, the following formula can be used to calculate the recommended
volume of the air net:
V = (30 x C x p x Q) / Dp
C = Correction factor
Dp = Pressure difference between unloading and loading pressures in bar (recommended
minimum = 0.6)
p = Compressor inlet pressure in bar absolute
Q = Free air delivery of compressor in l/s
V = Recommended air net volume in l

Instruction book

Phase Description
4 The inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that any recirculation
of cooling air to the compressor is avoided. The maximum air velocity through the grids is
5 m/s (16.5 ft/s).
The required ventilation to limit the compressor room temperature can be calculated as
follows:
On air-cooled compressors: Qv = 0.92 N/dT
On water-cooled compressors: Qv = 0.1 N/dT
Qv = Required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = Shaft input of compressor in kW
dT = Temperature increase in compressor room
If cooling air ducts are installed, the maximum allowable pressure drop over the ducts is
30 Pa (0.12 in wc). The maximum pressure drop depends on the ambient temperature.
The fan capacity should match the compressor fan capacity at a pressure head equal to
the pressure drop caused by the cooling air outlet ducts. Consult Atlas Copco.
5 A water shut-off valve and water drain valve in the compressor water inlet pipe and outlet
pipe can be installed by the customer. If water shut-off valves are installed, a safety device
with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure has to be installed
between the compressor water outlet pipe and the shut-off valve. When operating the unit,
the operator must ensure that the cooling water system cannot be blocked.
The above mentioned also applies for the energy recovery cooling system.
Remove the plastic plugs (if provided) from the compressor water pipes and connect the
pipes to the cooling water circuit.
6 Remove the plastic plugs (if provided) from the condensate outlets and fit the manual
condensate drain valve. Lay out the drain piping towards the condensate collector. The
drain pipes must not dip into the water of the drain collector. It is recommended to provide
a funnel to allow visual inspection of the condensate flow.
7 Location of the Elektronikon regulator.
8 See Electric cable size for the recommended size of the supply cables. Check that the
electrical connections correspond to the local codes. The installation must be earthed and
protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. An isolating switch must be installed
near the compressor.

4.5 Cooling water requirements

Recommendations
The cooling water quality must meet certain minimum requirements.
No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds, solids
and gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials.
This recommendation is a general guide line for acceptable coolant quality.

Type of system
First, it is important to consider whether you are dealing with a closed system or an open system. In a closed
system, the same cooling water circulates through a system without contact with air.
An open system is a pass-through system, or a circulating system with a cooling tower. In the latter case, the
composition of the water that enters the cooler must be considered, and not the composition of the make-up
water. Due to the evaporative effect in the cooling tower, much higher concentrations of ions can be obtained
in the circulating water than in the make-up water.

Ryznar stability index (RSI)


The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI) is a parameter for predicting whether water will tend to dissolve or precipitate
calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling deposits and their effect are different on different materials, but
the equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is only determined by its actual pH value and by the
saturation pH value (pHs).
The saturation pH value is determined by the relationship between the calcium hardness, the total alkalinity,
the total solids concentration and the temperature.
The Ryznar Index is calculated as follows :
RSI = 2*pHs - pH

Symbol Explanation
pH Measured pH (at room temperature) of water sample
pHs pH at saturation

The pHs is calculated by using :


pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D)

The table indicates that distilled or demineralised water should never be used, as their RSI is > 11.

9829 3060 90 103


Instruction book

The RSI only indicates the equilibrium of scaling - descaling. A cooling water showing good RSI conditions
can still be unsuitable due to other factors.
From the table above, the RSI index should be between 5.6 and 7.5; otherwise, contact a specialist.

pH
The effect of pH is already calculated in the Ryznar index, but the pH itself has some additional limitations :
6.8 < pH

Total dissolved solids (TDS)


This is the sum of all the ions in the water. It can be derived from the dry residue after evaporation (but not
including suspended solids), or it can be estimated from the electrical conductivity.
In a closed system, the following limits apply : TDS < 3000 mg/l (< 3800 microS/cm)
For an open system, the following limits apply : TDS < 450 mg/l ( < 580 microS/cm)

Chlorides (Cl-)
Chloride ions will create pitting corrosion on stainless steel. Their concentration should be limited:
Closed cooling system : chlorides < 500 ppm
Open cooling system : chlorides < 150 ppm
However, if the water is scaling, lower limits should be used. (See The Ryznar stability index (RSI)).

Free chlorine (Cl2)


A level of 0.5 ppm should not be exceeded for long periods.
For shock treatments, a maximum limit of 2 ppm for maximum 30 minutes/day applies.

Sulphates (SO4--)
Closed cooling system : sulphates < 400 ppm
Open cooling system : sulphates < 150 ppm

Carbonate hardness
Closed cooling system : 50-1000 ppm CaCO3
Open cooling system : 50-500 ppm CaCO3
