ZA Pack are single-stage whereas ZR Pack are two-stage compressors ‘Compressor ‘A step-up gear casing provided with an oil sump carries the ‘compressor elements). The power from the motor is transmitted {o the step-up gear shalt through a flexible coupling, Drive arrangements In Ar, the moto is fanged to the gear casing by means of an adapter housing. The compressorimotor units supported on vibration dampers onthe frame, In Ar. 1, the compressor and motor are separately mounted on a ‘sub-rame, supported onthe frame on vibration dampers, Compressor element(s) ZA have one compressor element. ZR have one low-pressure (LP) ‘and ane high-pressure (HP) compressor element. Each compressor ‘element houses two screw-ype rotors, mounted on ball and ler bearings. The male olor, driven by the step-up gear, and the female rotor are synchronized through timing gears, which maintain a slight clearance between the rotors. The male rolar has four lobes and the female rolor six flutes. Thus, the male rotor revolves at 1 1/2 times the speed ofthe female fotor. The absence of contact between the rotors and between the ‘otors and the compressor casing eliminates wear and power loss. Air and ot seating rings are fited onthe rotor shafts, The ar seals are located next tothe compression space, the ol seals next othe rotor bearings. The leak atom the air seals is evacuated to the atmosphere through vent-holes. Any ol that might gather between the oll and air seals is prevented from entering the compression ‘pace, as itis also drained through vent-holes. Oil system Oil ubricates the rotor bearings, ming and dive gears. The system includes a gear-type ol pump, an oll cooler and (an) oil fers). Cooling system ‘The compressor element(s) and the cooler(s) are water-cooled. On 2, the intercooler and aftercooler are provided with moisture vaps. Safety devices ‘On 2R, (a) relietvalve(s) and (a) HP safety valves) protect the LP and HP sides of the compressor respectively. The ZAis filed with (a) satety valve). ‘A check vale prevents blow-back of compressed ait rom the net when the compressor is unloaded or stopped. Pressure and thermal shut-down switches protect the compressor against abnormal operating conditions. Canopy ‘The motor, compressor, coolers), etc. ae enclosed ina sound: insulated canopy with an air intake silencer and doors. The front panel comprises a biparile cubicle Etectrical equipment ‘The operation ofthe units is governed by an elect reguator, in Conjunction with an ar pressure switch. The regulator comprises a blocking relay to prevent an automatic restart if the compressor is stopped through a shutdown switch, Generat The compressors furished with a data plate showing, among other things, the type, serial number and maximum final pressure, The ‘motors also provided with a data pate. 1.2 Air flow (Figs. 4 and §) Air draun through fiter elements) (AF), intake silencer (AS!) and Inet thrtle casing (IM) into compressor element (Eis ‘compressed, then discharged: + ONZR, trough outlet silencer (AS) to intercooler (Ci) = On ZA, through outet silencer (ASo) and check valve (CV) ‘The cooled air on ZR then enters HP compressor element (Eh), were itis futher compressed and discharged through outlet Silencer (ASo) and check valve (CV) to aftercooler (Ca). During loaded operation aint throttle valve (TV) i open and Lnloacing valve (UV) closed. The valves are simultaneously closed and opened respectively by oading solenoid valve (Y1) through tnloader piston (UP) when the working pressure reaches the pre sel maximum. On ZR, the pressure of HP element (Eh) i thon feleased to inlet casing (IM) upstream of throtte valve (TV) via unloading valve (UV) and bleed-off coolers) (Cb), On ZA, the Pressure ofthe compressor element s released fo the almosphere Via unloading valve (UV) and blow-off silencer (ASb). On both ZR. and ZA, this results in closing of check valve (CV) The throttle valve eaves an air passage in he closed poston. Thus, air remains drawn into the compressor to maintain a pressure rato ‘over the element (HP element on ZR). On ZA, the throttle valve has ‘small holes fortis purpose, ‘An airoperated balancing piston (BP) is fited behind the male ‘olor rear thrust bearing ofthe compressor element(s). The piston decreases the load on the male rotor front thrust bearing during loaded operation. During loading the balancing pistons is (are) actuated by: (0nZR, LP balancing piston: intercooler pressure HP balancing piston: working pressure + OnZA, balancing piston: working pressure During unloading, the pistons) is (are) in communication with the almosphere, ‘An ai fiter service indicator (Gy), a working pressure gauge (Gp), safely valve(s) and (a) high air temperature incicator/shut- down switses) (on ZR: TISHHT 1, TISHH1 and TISHH21; on ZA: TISHH11) are comprised in the system.

Condensate drain system on ZR Pack (Figs. 4 and 6) To prevent condensate from entering the HP element from the intercooler and the air outlet pipe from the aercocler, both coolers are equipped witha moisture tap (MT) and (Ma). Each moisture trap is connected to a drain receiver (DRI and DRa), provided with an automatic float valve, and a manually operated valve for draining condensata after the unit has been stopped. 1.6 Unloading system (Figs. 7 and 8) The on-off unloading system is operated by air pressure switch (PSR28), which senses the pressure variations inthe ai cischarge system.

Repair the slightest leak. Replace damaged pipe) 5. The difference in perature between the incoming water and the outgoing ar ofthe intercooler and attercooler should never exceed 25°C (45°F) during loading. Use a thermometer of the contact type fo measuce the temperatures atthe various points. Have the Cooling system cleaned if the cooling efficiency is insufficient 6. Special gauges are to be used and a record ofthe measured values should be kept over the years of operation. Based on this record, the Condon ofthe compressor elements can be judged. 7.
