Airis admitted atone end of the rotors where the matching lobe and flute first come into mesh as the rotors turn. Continued rotation brings the line of mesh past the air inlet port and then the air in the flute of the female rotor is confined by the lobe of the male rotor and stator. Compression now occurs as the rotors turn further. At the time, the far end of the compression pocket tums towards the discharge port and air flows out in the system, as shown in Fig. 3 on Page No.6.0, which depicts one lobe meshing with one flute. + Theflutes of the female rotor and the lobes of male rotor correspond respectively to the cylinder and piston of Reciprocating Compressor. Lubricating cil is injected into the compressor unit, (here to be referred as air end) which in large quantities mixes directly with the air as the rotors turn compressing the air. + The lubricating oil has four functions a) As. acoolant it takes away the heat of compression b) Seals the leak paths amongst the rotors and housing ¢) — ActS as a lubricating film between the rotors allowing one rotor to directly drive the other without a metal to metal contact, @) Also lubricates the bearings and gears. ) Use Elgi Air Lube Oil for the best performance of your Compressor Part No. : 000 8 9804 3 SPECIALLY FORMULATED MINERAL OIL FOR SCREW AIR COMPRESSORS 61 ri lim a mt 0 SYSTEM OPERATION The air aspirated through the air filter is compressed in the Screw Compressor driven by Diesel Engine. The air to the compressor is throttled by the butte-fly valve. The air/oil mixture is delivered to the receiver tank through ‘he discharge check valve which acts like a non return valve Oil and air are separated by "OSBID PROCESS’. "OSBID" process utilises the impact and difference in density to separate the air & oil ‘The separated oil is re-cooled in the oil cooler and is returned to the injection point through the oil filter.

The air inlet valve is of butterfly type which directly controls the amount of airinto the air end. The opening or closing of the valve disc controls the port area in response to the function of a single acting spring- loaded actuator which operates in correlation with the control system. The actuator receives operating pulse from the pressure regulator valve. Capacity Control System The functional description of the capacity control system is described below in 2 distinct phases of operation. This description will apply to all control system with an exception to the pressure set according to your pressure requirements, which can be achieved by adjusting the pressure regulator. The control system for the set pressures will be in accordance with a machine having an operating range of pressures Atypical control system is illustrated in Figures on Page No. 8.2 to 8.5 Start When the compressor is started, the atmospheric air is drawn through the butterfly valve, compressed and discharged to the air/oil receiver. The pressure builds up in the receiver tank from 0 to 4 kgffcm?*. During this period the pressure regulator valve and the actuator are in-operative. The actuator holds the butterfly valve fully open and the compressor operates at full rated capacity. As the compressor operates at full capacity, the engine runs at rated speed. The rising receiver tank pressure is isolated from the service line by the minimum pressure valve, which is set at 4 kgffcm? . 8.2.2 Normal Operation When the receiver tank pressure rises above 4 kig/cm®, the minimum pressure valve opens and delivers, compressed air to the service line. At this time, the actuator remains in-operative, holding the inlet valve fully open for maximum air output, The engine will continue to run at rated speed during this phase of operation. 84 ze ENGINE GOVERNOR, BLOW DOWN. ‘SILENCER: NON-RETURN VALVE ‘ - cy) i ENGINE AIREND_ Fig 6 Mode of Operation - Start LOW PRESSURE REGULATOR BALL_VALVE BLOW DOWN, ‘VALVE MOISTURE FILTER HIGH PRESSURE REGULATOR RECEIVER TANK.

Now the pressure regulator viave gradually opens, applying pressure to the actuator. This causes the actuator rod to partially close the inlet butterfly valve and reduce the speed of the engine. As the pressure increases, the actuator rod will further close the inlet butterfly valve and continue reducing the engine speed until it reaches loaded speed The actuator has an orifice in its cover which vents a small amount of air to the atmosphere when the pressure regulator valve is open. This allows the actuator to vary the air intake matching the air demand. The orifice also bleeds any accumulated moisture from the actuator. The compressor will continue to run in this manner until air demand increases. As air demand increases, the receiver tank pressure will fall to operating pressure. The pressure regulator valve will close, the air inlet valve will be fully open and the engine will once again run at rated speed. 8.2.4 Shut Down a) The blow down valve is held closed by a pressure signal from the compressor unit. Upon shut down the pressure signal is lost and the blowdown valve opens venting the receiver tank pressure to the atmosphere. Working pressure : 21kg / em? (200 psig) Start mode 0-10 kg / em?

The separator element at final stage of air oil separation is the vital element for getting clean air outlet. The separated oil collects in the element surface and descends to the bottom of the separator The retum valve (or scavengeline)leads from the bottom of the separator element to the inlet regime of the compressor unit ensures separated oil is retumed to the compressor by the pressure differential between the area surrounding the separator element and the compressor inlet. Nylon tube used in the return line helps in usually checking the oil flow. The minimum pressure valve at the outlet of the receiver tank ensures a minimum receiver pressure of 4kgf/em? during all conditions for proper air/oil separation and proper oil circulation to air end Apressure relief valve (located on the wet side of the separator) is set to open if the receiver tank pressure exceeds 40% more than working pressure Oil to be filled in tho receiver tank through the elbow welded on tank after removing the plug.

As the compressor continues to operate, the temperature of the oil also rises Once the intended pressure is built up in the receiver tank, oil starts to flow to the main line by pressure differential through the oil cooler, main oil filter, bearing oil filter atid oll stop valve to the AIREND in large quantities i.e. from the high pressure region in receiver tank to. the low pressure region in airend. The retum line is operated throughout the whole process. The radiator type air cooler removes the heat of compression from the oil Now the oil after being cooled is filtered in preparation for injection into the compression chamber and bearings of the compressor unit. The fier has a replaceable element and a built-in bypass valve which allows the oil to flow even when the filter element becomes clogged or when the viscosity of the oil is too high for adequate flow, which requires changing of fiter element. After the oil is properly filtered, it flows through the oil stop valve and to the compressor unit where it * cools the seals and the compression chamber as well as lubricating the bearings and gears. 89 oe ENGINE, MAIN.

The oil stop valve is held open by a pressure signal rom the air end during Compressor running. Atshutdown, the pressure signal is lost and the oil stop valve closes, isolating the airend from the cooling system. A portion of the oil flowing to the airend is routed to a bearing oil filter. All oil flowing to the gears, shaft seal and the internal bearings of the compressor unit flows through this extra-fine filter ensuring the cleanest possible oll for these components. This filter also has built-in bypass valve and a replaceable element. Use Elgi Air Lube Oil for the best performance of your Compressor Part No. : 000 9 98043 SPECIALLY FORMULATED MINERAL OIL FOR SCREW AIR COMPRESSORS 611 8.5 Elgi Airlube Oil performs a very critical function in the oil flooded screw type air compressor. This takes away major part of the heat of the compression, seals all the areas and lubricates bearings and gears. The major criteria in a good quality lubricant for screw compressor are : a) Viscosity b) Wear characteristic cc) Demalcibility d) Heat resistance ) Thermal stability Elgi Airlube is blended using heavy-duty hydraulic based oil with proper amount of additives and strict quality control check of every batch footprint ensures satisfactory compressor performance. Life of mineral oil is covered by operating temperature for every 10° C of temperature beyond 95°C, life of oil goes down by almost 30-40%. It is recommended that oil change frequency could be vary between summer months and winter months to get best out of the mineral oil and compressor. For this, a good record of operating temperature of compressor is essential . Continuous operating of compressor at high temperature beyond 100°C without changing the oil will lead to varnish formation and will affect the life of bearings and air end THE OIL CHANGE HAS TO BE DONE FOR EVERY 500 HRS OF RUNNING . 8.12 Ey Es a rt 9.0 SAFETY AND INTERLOCKING DIVICES The following safety and interlocking devices have been equipped with your ELG] PORTABLE ROTARY SCREW AIR COMPRESSOR for. safe and reliable service 9.1. Safety Devices 9.2 Presure Relief Valve is located on the wet side of the oil separator of the receiver valve tank and is set to open if the tank pressure exceeds 40 psi more than the working pressure. Discharge Temperature Switch is fitted on the panel board to shut down the compressor if the discharge air/oil mixture temperature reaches the preset value of 110 +/-5 deg C depending on probe position. The probe is fitted on air end outlet cover or receiver tank. (This feature is not available for models with Ashok Leyland Engine) Interlocking Devices The following interlocking devices have been equipped with your compressor for safe and reliable service. i Minimum Pressure Valve fitted at the outlet of the oil separator keeps minimum receiver tank ptessure of about 4 kgl/em? during all conditions which facilitates proper air-oil separation and oil circulation to air end. Oil Stop Valve located in the downstream of bearing oll filter and the upstream of air end, puts off the oil supply to the compressor unit when the unit is shut down. Pressure Regulator Valve can be varied depending upon your pressure requirements. It is set to supply the pressurized air pulse to the single acting actuator, which in turn will operate the butterfly valve to gradually open ot close the inlet port of the Air End, in accordance with the outlet air pressure An actuator connected to the butterfly valve opens the butterfly valve or closes the butterfly valve gradually in response to the pressure signal received from the pressure regulator valve thereby controlling the amount of air intake to the air end. 9.0 5 SS SS 10.0 10.1 10.2 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM & CONTROL ELEMENTS System Components & Description The electrical system comprises of not only necessary equipment to operate the compressor, but also a system is included to shut down the machine in the event of a malfunction.

Adjust the slider in such a way that engine reaches its full rated speed when engine is started. At full rated speed of the engine butterfly valve should be fully open or approximately 15 - 20° off of the vertical. NOTE 45 - 20 deg does not apply to inlet valve lever. Above adjustments. have been made to set control system in proper position for final adjustments 4 Operating Adjustments Start thé compressor. Allow the unit to operate until normal operating temperatures are attained. During this time, ensure service valve is fully open, Adjust tl e engine to operate at its full rated speed 2 Pressure Regulator Valve Adjustment ‘Turn the pressure regulator valve screw clockwise fo ensure it is out of adjustment. Start closing service valve slowly till ated pressure is reached. The engine should operate at rated speed with the compressor, so that a condition is obtained where the engine operates at rated speed to the rated pressure of the compressor. Tum the pressure regulator valve screw counter clockwise till actuator begins to operate. Lock the ajusting screw with lock nut. Continue Closing service valve slowly, speed of the engine reduces while butterfly valve closes to match the output. At this time pressure regulator valve setting is complete 3 Idle Speed Adjustment The last step in the capacity control adjustment is engine idle speed and compressosr butterfly valve adjustment : Continue closing the service valve, the speed of the engine will drop with constant working pressure and closing of butterfly valve to match the output of air, when engine reaches 1100 rpm adjust stop screw at the engine governor, thus preventing further drop in speed of the engine. Now close the service valve fully. Once engine is running idle at specified speed the inlet valve should be closed. Then the air pressure will stabilize at 1 kgf/cm? more than set working pressure. NOTE While adjusting capacity control system, make sure you follow the sald procedure. If you are not sure, contact nearest Elgi Equipments Branch for Help ns men ser.
