Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing


This procedure applies to all Ajax models 2200 and 2800 series Ajax engines. It covers the installation of
the keyless ringfeder locking device fitted on flywheels on 2200 and 2800 series engines. The procedure
explains the method used to find top dead center (TDC) and proper ignition timing of the engine.

Installation
1. Stand the flywheel up on its edge, allowing access to both sides of the flywheel.

! Caution
Firmly secure the flywheel to prevent it from falling over.
2. Remove the rust inhibitor paper from the inside of the machined split ring on the ringfeder. Remove
ringfeder (collar, inner ring, and locking screws) from shipping container. Verify that the supplied
locking screw threads, screw head bearing area, and the taper of the inner ring are lubricated. If not,
lubricate with molybdenum disulfide grease, such as Molykote GN paste or equivalent.
3. Place the green ringfeder and split ring assembly on the machined diameter of the flywheel.
4. The bolts to be used on the ringfeder are metric. A 16 mm (FWF2500-1600) hardened flat washer is
required for every bolt. Start each bolt into the ringfeder, but DO NOT TIGHTEN

5. Use a fine file or emery cloth to remove any burrs from the flywheel and crankshaft, cleaning both
for assembly.
6. Coat the flywheel and crankshaft sparingly with engine oil. The flywheel to crankshaft fit is between
.001”-.003”. Do not over-lubricate.

Note
Step 6 should only be performed during initial engine assembly. Do not lubricate on field units.
7. Carefully place the flywheel on the end of the crankshaft. Do not bump the crank as this will create
a burr that can impede installation. Push the flywheel evenly onto the crankshaft until the face of the

Page 1 of 4 Released: 6/8/99


ESS-F-963
Title: Keyless Flywheel Installation And Timing
flywheel and the end of the crankshaft are even.

Note
Do not wiggle the flywheel in/out or try to turn the flywheel onto the crankshaft! It will create heat
and possibly gall the surface of the crankshaft.
8. After the flywheel is installed, snug several of the bolts in a criss-cross pattern to lock the flywheel to
the crankshaft.
9. Remove the crosshead side access door from power cylinder one.
10. Set the timing pointer on the ignition bracket, allowing 1/8” clearance from the flywheel. Adjust the
pointer until it is located in the middle of vertical slot on the bracket.

Finding TDC and Timing Degree Marks


11. Place a 4” bar or equivalent between the end of the crosshead and the pack flange. Bar the engine
over clockwise until the bar stops against the packing. Hold the flywheel in this position, keeping
the crosshead against the bar.
12. Mark the flywheel on the outer diameter (O.D.) with an ink marker at the pointer location. This is
“Temporary Mark #1”.
13. Remove the tension on the bar in the crosshead and remove.
14. Rotate the engine clockwise until is has passed TDC far enough to re-insert the bar.
15. Reinsert the bar and rotate the engine counter-clockwise until the bar stops the crosshead against the
packing. Hold the flywheel in this position.
16. Mark the flywheel on the O.D. with an ink marker at the pointer location. This is “Temporary Mark
#2”.
17. Release the tension from the bar and remove. Rotate the engine to allow access to both of the tempo-
rary marks.
18. Measure the distance between the marks. Divide the distance by two and, using an ink marker, cre-
ate a third mark equidistant between the two marks. This will be “Temporary Mark #T”. Mark T
represents the Top Dead Center (TDC) of the crankshaft.

Note
You can verify the position of the TDC mark by measuring the distance between marks #1 and T, then
marks #2 and T. These distances should be equal.
19. It is now necessary to add the ignition timing mark. Verify that the ignition is properly set. All 2200
and 2800 engines use a 48” diameter flywheel. This means that:
3° = 1ÿ” Flywheel O.D. distance
9° = 3¾” Flywheel O.D. distance
11° = 4-5/8” Flywheel O.D. distance
20. Using one of the above distances, create a temporary mark on the flywheel to represent either 3°, 9°
or 11° (depending on model) before TDC or clockwise from the T mark on the flywheel.
21. Rotate the engine so that the timing mark is aligned with the flywheel pointer. This sets the crank-
shaft in the general range of normal ignition timing.
22. Use the nut and stud expanders to lock and hold the crankshaft in position. These should be
installed between the sheave and end cover. See Figure 2. This picture shows the method of locking
the crankshaft used during engine assembly. Alternate methods of locking are acceptable for field
installation.
23. Check that the timing mark is still aligned with the flywheel pointer. As a double check, verify that

Page 2 of 4 Released: 6/8/99


ESS-F-963
Title: Keyless Flywheel Installation And Timing
the scribed line located on the end of the crankshaft is positioned below horizontal. See Figure 3.
24. Loosen the ringfeder bolts to free up the flywheel on the crankshaft.

Setting Timing Of the Flywheel


25. Ensure that the ignition pickup coils are in the proper holes:
 3° - Top Holes
 9° - Two Holes From The Bottom
 11° - Bottom Holes
26. Rotate the flywheel on the crankshaft, without moving the crankshaft itself, until the recessed mag-
net is centered over the number 1 pickup coil. This is the “A” pickup coil or the one closest to the
power end.
27. While keeping the magnet aligned, re-tighten the ringfeder to the flywheel. Now place a permanent
timing mark on the flywheel and mark it either 3°, 9°, 11° accordingly.
28. Permanently mark the TDC location and then erase all of the temporary marks made on the fly-
wheel.
29. Remove all crankshaft locking devices and find TDC as in the above procedures to verify that the
TDC position and the ignition timing mark have been correctly located relative to the magnet posi-
tion.
30. When certain that the permanent marks are correct, tighten and torque all flywheel bolts.
31. Match mark the flywheel coincident with the scribe line on the end of the crankshaft using a chisel.
Stamp a “1” next to this mark.
32. Stamp the engine serial numbers on the crankshaft and hub of the flywheel.
33. Chisel mark a line on the OD of the flywheel at TDC. Metal stamp a “0” next to this mark.
34. Chisel mark a line at either the 3°, 9°, or 11° (depending on model) on the OD of the flywheel. Metal
stamp the correct timing value next to this mark.
35. It may be necessary after engine start-up to readjust the timing pointer. The pickup coil should be
centered over the cylinder #1 recessed magnet when the pointer is pointing at the timing mark.

2804 (DPC-800) Engines Only


These engines do not use flywheel magnets and pickup coils. When finished with Step 20 above go
directly to Step 29.The magneto should be adjusted via the slotted holes on the mounting flange until the
cylinder #1 is aligned with the flywheel timing marks.

AJAX JET CELL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

ABSTRACT

The jet cell concept is required for low emission or emission reduction engines. The high-
energy torch issuing from the pre-chamber allows the main chamber to be operated with a
leaner mixture and consistently ignited, as compared to a conventional spark plug
ignition of a lean mixture.

Also, the jet cell is applied to units to improve combustion stability and improve fuel
consumption when operating at variable speeds and reduced torque. This paper describes
the jet cell operation and general maintenance procedures relating to AJAX Low
Emissions Two-Cycle Engines.

JET CELL OPERATION

The jet cell, or pre-combustion chamber, is a unit which is installed in the cylinder head.
The nozzle end is designed with a specific volume and has a communicating angled exit
orifice. A spark plug for ignition and a fuel admission check valve complete the
necessary operational components.

Pilot fuel headers supply fuel to each admission check valve. The supply to the header is
taken prior to the governor regulated fuel valve, filtered, and the pressure regulated with
an additional regulator.

The ignitor fuel pressure is thus regulated manually according to site conditions.
For one cycle of operation, as the piston comes up on compression, the pressure within
the cylinder is lower than the pilot gas pressure and fuel is admitted into the cell. When

1 Revised 07/98
ESS-L-981
AJAX LOW EMISSIONS ENGINES

the pressure within the cylinder becomes greater than the fuel pressure, then the pilot
check valves close.

The main fuel valve admits fuel into the cylinder per the designed timing. Ignition occurs
within the jet cell and the rich fuel mixture ignites. The pressure rise caused by this
energy release forces the burning mixture to exit through the nozzle orifice across the top
of the piston in the main combustion chamber, igniting the main combustible charge.

IGNITION TIMING

In standard spark ignited engines, the spark plugs ignite the charge and a progressive
flame front occurs within the combustion chamber. Due to the time required for this
flame propagation, the ignition timing is approximately 9°-12° before top dead center
(BTDC).

With the jet cell, a torch of fire emitting from the exit orifice penetrates into the fuel/air
mixture within the main combustion chamber. The mixture is ignited uniformly by this
higher energy source, which promotes faster burning. For this reason, the ignition timing
is set at 3° BTDC.

For an engine operating at 440 rpm, this sequence of fuel admission, ignition, etc., occurs
7.3 times per second, 440 times per minute, 26,400 times per hour, 663,600 times per day
(24 hrs), and 30 days of operation would equal 19,008,000 times.

MAINTENANCE

The jet cell, when installed into the cylinder head, has a round Armco iron gasket which
acts as a fire seal; a graphoil seal employed as a bottom water seal, and an ‘O’ ring as the
top water seal.

The unit is held in place with a two-bolt flange and torqued to 70 ft-lbs.

If a cell is removed from the head, it is important that the access hole for the cell is clean
and free of any scale build-up. New gaskets and seals should be installed and the unit
properly torqued. A locating dowel is used to assure proper orientation of the exit orifice
of the cell in relation to the main combustion chamber.

SPARK PLUGS

Cooling of the spark plug is accomplished primarily through the spark plug gasket
seating surface and the threads. These areas within the cell have thin metal sections and
are surrounded with engine coolant.

In service, the center and ground electrodes will deteriorate, which increases the spark
plug gap. Erratic firing will occur once the gap increases 0.005”-0.010” from the original
setting and the plugs should be replaced.

2 Revised 07/98
ESS-L-981
AJAX LOW EMISSIONS ENGINES

On older LE equipment (pre 9/92), where a YK-8209-C jet cell was used, a Champion
RW77N (BM-1022-2) spark plug with an initial gap of 0.015″ to 0.018″ was used. The
main chamber spark plug utilized the Champion W-18 (BM-1022). Current production
models (post 9/92) where a YK-8209-C-1 is utilized, use a Champion W-18 (BM-1022)
spark plug is used with an initial gap of 0.020″. This allows use of the same spark plug
for both the main chamber and igniter. The current production jet cell (YK-8209-C-1)
identified with a ‘3/4’ stamped on the top face.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the W-18 spark plug in the YK-8209-C jet cell. Damage
may occur to igniter and/or spark plug threads as the result of thread depth and thread
reach respectively.

The secondary ignition wiring and associated components should always be in good
condition.

FUEL ADMISSION CHECK VALVES

The primary check valve (P/N YK-8338-A) is most important in the operation of the jet
cell. As noted previously, the number of cyclic operations relates to the unit’s speed, with
fuel being admitted when the cylinder pressure is less than the pilot fuel pressure and
being shut off the cylinder pressure increases. The check valve also withstands the high
pressure within the cell at time of ignition.

Present production check valves use a ceramic ball with tool steel enclosure and seat.
Ajax continues to improve the life and operation of the valves with ongoing research and
development programs.

From the primary check valve, the fuel gas enters the cell through drilled communication
holes. Due to fuel entrapment, incomplete combustion can occur in these passages, which
tends to produce a soot-carbon residue. In some cases, this build-up is not detrimental to
the check valve’s operation, but in other cases it can be severe. If this build-up becomes
heavy, erratic operation of the check valves will occur and they should be removed,
cleaned and tested.

Whenever the spark plugs are replaced, it would be appropriate to remove and clean the
check valves. Some end users have a spare set of check valves which are installed at this
time, and the removed set is cleaned for reinstallation at a later date.

An orifice (P/N K-8050) is installed on the inlet side of the primary check valve to allow
pilot fuel pressures to be comparable to main fuel pressure. The orifice resembles a 1/8″
toe nipple. Ensure this is an orifice by visual inspection, noting a small 0.038″ internal
hole. Clean when servicing the primary check valve.

Connected directly upstream of the orifice is a secondary check valve (P/N BM-21064).
This is utilized only as a backup to the primary check valve.

3 Revised 07/98
ESS-L-981
AJAX LOW EMISSIONS ENGINES

A jet cell-equipped engine does require some additional maintenance over a standard

AJAX LOW EMISSIONS RETROFIT CONVERSIONS
13-1/4″″ & 15″″ BORES
SUPPLEMENT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

The new AJAX Low Emissions (LE) Engine utilizes a squish design combustion
chamber that includes a jet cell (ignitor cell). The assembly procedure is basically the
same as on a standard engine, with the following additions and changes in gas valve
timing, ignition timing and power piston position.

1. PISTON & HEAD INSTALLATION:

A) The piston used on the LE engine does not incorporate notches or tapped holes in
the crown for installation as compared to the standard combustion engine. It is
recommended that a rod wrench (or strap wrench) be used to install or remove the
power piston.

B) Screw piston into crosshead until approximately three (3) threads are left
showing. Do not tighten rod nut at this time.

C) Install cylinder head (with gasket) and torque to 600 ft-lbs.

D) Using solder, set piston-to-head striking clearance at 0.110″ (± 0.010″). This is


measured at the 6:00 position by inserting solder through the gas injection hole
down towards bottom of head. Roll piston forward (rotate crankshaft in CW
direction) past TDC, thus crushing solder. Using a micrometer or dial calipers,
measure thickness of crushed solder. Adjust piston position accordingly, to
obtain proper striking clearance. Refer to Figure 1.

E) Once clearance is set, torque rod nut and check clearance again. Piston has a
tendency to turn out slightly when tightening nut.

2. GAS CAM TIMING:

Refer to ESS-T-911 as a basis for fuel injection timing. The following changes must
be made when converting an engine to LE application.

A) The flywheel and gear shield must be removed in order to remove layshaft and
reset cam timing.

B) Cam timing is retarded from the standard 13° ABDC beginning of injection to 37°
ABDC. DO NOT GO BEYOND 37° ABDC! If gears do not line up with cams at
37° ABDC, go back towards BDC (i.e. 35° ABDC). Beginning of injection is 37°
2 Revised 07/98
ESS-L-983
LE RETROFIT CONVERSIONS
SUPPLEMENT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
ABDC on all LE engines but the method of setting the timing is different on
DPC-800s & DPC-2804s.

C) On DPC-800s & DPC-2804s, the control box utilizes one (1) cam for two (2)
cylinders. #1 & #3 power cylinders run off the cam closest to the power cylinders.
#2 & #4 cylinders run off the other cam. Refer to Figure 2.

Figure 2. Control Box And Cams

#1 power cylinder gas cam timing is referenced off #3 bank on the control box.
The crankshaft should be rotated in a clockwise direction to 26° ABDC #1 power
cylinder. DO NOT GO BEYOND 26° ABDC! If gears do not line up with cams at
26° ABDC, go back towards BDC (i.e. 24° ABDC). The crankshaft is positioned
at 26° ABDC for setting cam timing on DPC-800s & DPC-2804s only. This is
due to the way the cam is installed on the layshaft. The result will be injection
beginning at 37° ABDC. Refer to FIG 3. The cam can now be set using the
method illustrated in ESS-T-911.

D) Once the preceding is complete, the layshaft gear should be installed and re-
indexed.

3. IGNITION TIMING:

Ignition timing is changed on all LE engines to 3° BTDC. New mag pickup brackets
are furnished for all conversions through the DPC-600 & DPC-2803 to accommodate
the timing change.

3 Revised 07/98
ESS-L-983
LE RETROFIT CONVERSIONS
SUPPLEMENT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
On DPC-800 and DPC-2804 engines where the ALTRONIC III is used, the alternator
must be removed and re-indexed to 3° BTDC (refer to the standard DPC-800/DPC-
2804 Operation & Maintenance Manual for procedure).

Figure 3. Alignment Of Crankshaft

4. IGNITOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION: Refer to FIG 4

A) Ignitor assembly is indexed with a roll pin that lines up with a slot machined in
the LE power head. This ensures proper direction of ignitor exit orifice. It is very
important that they are lined up properly! Misalignment will result in severe
piston crown damage. It should be noted that when ignitor is torqued into head,
the roll pin will not completely set into slot. This is only an alignment reference.

B) Install gasket (P/N SF-34-65) onto end of ignitor by pressing on or using small
amount of grease to hold gasket in place when installing ignitor into the head.
Insure O-ring is installed on ignitor at this time also.

C) Install water seal (P/N 2-013-129-002) into head.

D) Install ignitor into head being very careful not to damage water seal. This may
take some hand fitting of seal. Torque down in progressive 5 ft-lb increments to
70 ft-lbs.

5. SPARK PLUGS:

On older LE equipment (pre 9/92), where a YK-8209-C jet cell was used, a
Champion RW77N (BM-1022-2) spark plug with an initial gap of 0.015″ to
0.018″ was used. The main chamber spark plug utilized the Champion W-18
(BM-1022). Current production models (post 9/92), where a YK-8209-C-1 is utilized,
use a Champion W-18 (BM-1022) spark plug with an initial gap of 0.020″. This
allows use of the same spark plug for both the main chamber and igniter. The current
production jet cell (YK-8209-C-1) is identified with a ‘3/4’ stamped on the top face.

IMPORTANT: Do not install the W-18 spark plug in the YK-8209-C jet cell.
Damage may occur to ignitor and/or spark plug threads as the result of thread depth
and thread reach, respectively.

6. GAS INJECTION VALVES:

The gas injection valve used in the LE power end is of the same basic design as the
one used in the standard combustion assembly but the valve housing and plunger
housing are not interchangeable. The gas injection valve assembly on the LE engine
has a longer valve body housing and a shorter plunger housing to accommodate the
profile of the power head.

7. MISCELLANEOUS:

In addition to the preceding requirements, engines that are converted to the LE design
must have:

A) Dry-type, low restriction intake system

B) Ring gear start system on 15″ bore engines

C) 3/8″ hydraulic supply lines on gas injection system

D) Exhaust line adjustment to compensate for length of insertion pipe in muffler

If you have any questions or problems pertaining to an LE retrofit conversion, contact


your local AJAX-SUPERIOR representative.

Subject: Hydraulic Fuel Injection System
a) Potential Fire Hazard
b) Purging Procedure
c) Recommended System Modifications
A potential fire hazard exists on Ajax engines with hydraulic fuel injection:

1) An incorrect purging procedure can allow hydraulic fluid to


contact a hot exhaust pipe and ignite. Use the following procedure:

Hydraulic System Purging Procedure:

1. Shut the engine off.


2. Pressurize the hydraulic reservoir to 15-20 psig.
3. Open the flow control valve (at control box) for the gas injection valve line to be purged.
4. Connect a 10”-12” length of clear plastic 3/8” hose to the bleed valve.
5. Slowly open the bleed valve while directing purged fluid and bubbles into a clean container for reclamation.
6. After the fluid runs without bubbles, close the bleed valve.
7. Close the flow control valve at the control box.
8. Check the reservoir’s fluid level. Be certain to depressurize the reservoir before replenishing the fluid.
Note
Use Ajax® hydraulic fluid p/n YAE-2150-2.
Do not use other fluids.

2) A damaged purge valve assembly can allow hydraulic fluid to leak and contact a hot
exhaust pipe and ignite .
As seen in Figure 1, the bleed valve is assembled to the cap of the injection valve by use of a
pipe nipple and pipe tee. These assembled parts can be bumped and damaged when servicing
adjacent components such as cylinder heads. The pipe nipple can also be damaged if the gas
injection valve assembly is mishandled during servicing.

purging of the hydraulic injection system.

As seen in Figure 2, relocation of the bleed valve to the topmost part of the gas injection valve
minimizes damage potential, and permits more efficient purging of the hydraulic system.

Subject: Lubrication Rates for DPC-2200 and DPC-2800 series engine-compressors

Use of divider valve designs provides a simple, reliable and predictable approach to engine cylinder and compressor
cylinder lubrication. Simplicity is enhanced by use of a lubrication monitor that senses divider valve operation, and
displays pints/day of lube oil consumption based on RPM and a divider valve assembly’s displacement volume.

The following rates for engine cylinders are based on the use of dry gas, and lube oil per Ajax engineering standard
ES-1006. HP listings are at standard conditions of 100ºF and <1500’ elevation.

Individual cylinder and rod packing assembly lubrication rates are based on the following formula:

(0.0000314 x Cylinder Bore x Stroke x RPM) + (0.000333 x Discharge Pressure) + 0.75

Example: YK11G, 14” bore, 11” stroke, @ 440 RPM, 400 psig
(0.0000314 x 14 x 11 x 440) = 2.13
(0.000333 x 400) = 0.13
0.75 = 0.75
3.00 pints/day

The lube monitor’s rate display is calculated by using the divider valve assembly’s cycle signal, and a
BLOCK TOTAL of the assembly. The assembly’s BLOCK TOTAL is determined by adding the “sizing number”
for each element within the assembly. Refer to the following table for the sizing number for a particular SMX
element:
DropSa Element Sizing Number
SMX-08 5
SMX-12 8
SMX-16 10
SMX-25 15
SMX-35 20
SMX-40 25
SMX-50 30

Assure that the correct values are used for the engine’s divider valve assembly, and the compressor cylinder’s divider
valve assembly. (Metering element designation (the SMX number) is stamped on each element’s nameplate.)
Installation Design for Permanent Ajax Compressor Packages

When designing the engine-compressor installation, several factors should be taken into
consideration which can affect the overall performance of the installation:

• An adequate foundation must be provided to assure a stationary mounting base for the engine-
compressor skid and any accessory equipment not mounted on the skid. If the unit is installed
inside a building or adjacent to other machinery, sufficient space must be allowed around the
unit to facilitate maintenance and service work (refer to the unit’s foundation drawing).
• Avoid arrangements that allow hot air from the muffler or cooler to flow to the air inlet of the
cooler or air cleaner.
• It is recommended that the engine-compressor skid and accessories be placed on grouting on
the foundation to ensure full, even bearing support under the equipment. Grouting is poured
after the equipment has been properly set and aligned on the foundation. For a grouted instal-
lation, the foundation top surface should have a rough surface (not trowelled) to ensure an
optimal grout-to-cement bond.
• Air cleaners may be located outside the building to avoid heat generated by the unit; however,
direction of prevailing winds should be considered in their location.
• Installation of units inside buildings should be designed to allow for the passage of hot air
from the coolers to the outside through adequate natural ventilation or through ducting to the
outside of the building. Unitized vertical discharge coolers may frequently be installed outside
the building to ease the disposal of heated air.
• The exhaust system must be properly designed for the operating conditions of the engine-
compressor, both for proper scavenging of the power cylinders, and for correct dissipation of
exhaust heat.
• The instrument panel should be placed in a location convenient for the operator.

NOTICE: The size and construction of the foundation must be selected to suit the soil
conditions at the unit location.

In designing the foundation, the static and dynamic loads must both be considered. The
unbalanced forces and couples of each engine-compressor unit are available, on request, from the
service branch or factory. In well compacted, high load capacity soils, (6 tons/ft2 minimum) the
minimum dimensions shown on the appropriate foundation drawing supplied should be adequate
for a reinforced concrete foundation (refer to the unit’s foundation drawing).
! "#

The foundation design must include anchor bolts to secure the engine-compressor unit. Anchor
bolts must be located to achieve precise alignment with the skid’s anchor bolt holes (refer to the
unit foundation drawing). Use sufficiently long anchor bolts to ensure deep placement and
adequate length above the foundation (account for full thread engagement of nuts and space
required for grouting).

Preferred practice is to set anchor bolts while pouring concrete for the foundation. A common
practice is to use canister-style anchor bolts to afford position adjustment capability. Here, the
anchor bolt is centered inside a piece of 2” to 2-1/2” pipe and positioned so the top of the pipe is
flush with the top of the completed foundation. The open pipe end should be blocked to keep
foundation concrete out. This approach is illustrated in Figure 1.

% & '

If the foundation has already been poured, then anchor bolts may be set by first drilling holes in
the foundation and then placing and grouting the anchor bolts in. Sulphuring, a means to dissolve
concrete, may also be used to create anchor bolt holes.

In soils having a low load support capacity, a wider and longer foundation or one which angles out
at the bottom should be used to distribute the load over a larger area on the bottom face of the
foundation.

NOTICE: In general, it is poor practice to economize on the amount of concrete used on the
engine compressor unit foundation.

If the soil load bearing capacity is questionable, it is highly recommended that a soil analysis be
made prior to designing or pouring the foundation. If unsuitable soil is encountered, the
foundation design must be changed to accommodate the soil.

$
Allow foundation concrete to cure for at least 28 days before installing an engine-compressor
package. Using ASTM guidelines, a concrete physical properties test may be performed to ensure
that sufficient curing has occurred. Any concrete-related problems that may exist, such as low
tensile or compressive strength, may be detected at this time. If the concrete is ready for engine-
compressor installation and grouting, then proceed with foundation surface preparation.

In order to achieve optimal grout-to-concrete bonding, prepare surfaces for grouting by chipping
away all laitance, oil-soaked concrete, and damaged concrete until 50% aggregate is exposed (the
foundation contractor may have already prepared the foundation in this manner). A chipping
hammer or 15-pound chipping gun (with chisel point) may be used for chipping.

NOTICE: Avoid heavy chipping guns as they may create micro fractures within the foundation.

Rebar wickets or dowels may be used to provide additional mechanical locks between grout and
concrete. These may be set by drilling into the foundation and inserting the wickets or dowels.
Locate the wickets/dowels away from foundation anchor bolts. Exposed length above the
foundation surface should be limited to ≈60% of the grout thickness (1-1/2” maximum for 2-1/2”
grout thickness).

Determine whether or not grout expansion joints are required. Foam strips or other suitable
(compressible, temporary) material may be used. Strips may be secured to the foundation with
glue; apply wax to exposed surfaces to allow easy removal after the grout has cured. If a crane is
to be used to place the engine-compressor unit, then expansion joints may be installed in advance.
If jacks and rollers are used, then expansion joints should be added prior to lowering the unit.

Set leveling planes in level position on the foundation under the leveling screw locations.

Clean all residual paint, oil, grease, and dirt from foundation surfaces that will come into contact
with grout. For final cleaning, use the grout manufacturer’s recommended solvent using clean
solution and clean cloth for the last wash. Lacquer thinner may be substituted if necessary;
however, mineral spirits cannot be used for this purpose.

If cement-based grout is to be used then pre-soak the foundation with water to help ensure that
foundation concrete does not draw water away from the grout after placement.

If epoxy resin grout is to be used, then use compressed air to blow away all dust and debris and
dry all moist foundation surfaces.

NOTICE: Grout may adhere to levelling screws, tools, forms or other items which have not
been protected with paste type wax.

The end result is a properly prepared foundation ready for setting the engine-compressor package.

It is recommended that the skid bottom in contact with grout be free from all paint, grease, primer,
or other material that could inhibit grout bonding. A light film of rust is usually acceptable. Use
evaporative solvent to wipe down all skid surfaces to be bonded to grout.

The engine-compressor skid is normally set directly upon the foundation block. Where overhead
space and/or crane capacity permit, the unit may be lifted using brackets or lifting lugs (provided)
and placed over the foundation anchor bolts. Lifting cables must be provided with spreaders so
that the lifting cables will remain parallel to the vertical center-line of the unit.

If overhead lifting capacity is not available, then jacks and rollers (cribbing) may be used to move
the unit into place over the foundation anchor bolts.

Lower the engine-compressor unit to its final elevation. Allow 2” nominal clearance between the
foundation and skid (1-3/4” minimum, 2-1/2” maximum). This clearance is recommended to
allow sufficient room for placing grout to all necessary locations beneath the skid. Use leveling
screws to make final skid elevation adjustments such that all mounting pads are at the prescribed
elevation.

Make certain that the unit is set


level, accurately aligned with the
cooler, aligned with any other off-
skid accessories, and adequately
supported so that all bearing
surfaces on the bottom of the skid
have full contact to avoid
deflections in the bed or skid

Perform web deflection measurements on the engine to check crankshaft alignment. Use these
measurements to fine-tune the engine-compressor elevation using the leveling screws. For long-
term engine performance it is essential that web deflections are held within specification (see
Ajax-Superior Engineering Standard ES-4025: Crankshaft Web Deflections for Three- and Four-
Cylinder Ajax Engines).

Install belts on cooler drive and check alignment. Accurate alignment is essential to ensure
acceptable drive component service life and to eliminate detrimental loads and vibrations.

The drive alignment is checked by drawing a string taut between adjacent faces of the two
sheaves (pulleys), lined up to intersect the two hubs. When the drive is properly aligned, the string
will barely touch the face of each sheave at the points where the string crosses the sheave rims
(see Figure 2 below).

After properly positioning the engine-compressor unit, then finish up by taping off or paste-
waxing all leveling screw threads so screws can be removed after the grout has cured.

Grout should have the following characteristics:

• A consistency that allows for proper placement


• High bonding strength
• High dimensional stability
• Strength to transmit static and dynamic forces from unit to foundation

Grout may be either of the conventional (cement based) type or of the epoxy resin type.
Each type has advantages and disadvantages:

Working Time: Check the grout specifications. Working time may vary from as little as 15-20
minutes to over 1 hour. Select a product that will allow adequate mixing, handling, and placing
time.

Working Temperature: Check the grout specifications. Manufacturers often recommend that
foundation, equipment, and grout materials attain equilibrium temperature on the order of 70°F
before mixing and pouring. If possible, avoid grouting at temperatures below 50°F, although
grouts for use at such temperatures are available. Note, however, that temperature can affect grout
working time.

Flowability: Most grout manufacturers will claim that their products are “flowable,” but this is a
relative term. Grout viscosity should not be too low (runny, not stackable) or too high (not
pourable). Grout flowability may be increased by reducing the amount of aggregate used. Consult
with the grout manufacturer’s technical representative if questions arise here.

*
! "#

Compressive Strength and Curing Time: Epoxy-resin grouts, although more costly, provide
greater compressive strength and cure much more quickly than do cement-based grouts.

Long-Term Performance: Properly mixed, installed, and cured cement-based grouts have very
good long-term dimensional stability but may degrade structurally (cracking) under continual,
excessive vibration input. Epoxy-resin grouts have better long-term structural integrity but, being
viscoelastic materials, are subject to creep that is heightened by elevated temperatures.

Tables 1 and 2 provide examples of cement-based grout and epoxy resin grout respectively.

may present certain health hazards.
The grout manufacturer’s handling
instructions should be strictly
followed.

Affirm that the selected grout will meet the installation load requirement, the working
temperature condition, and the working time requirement. Grouts such as those listed in Tables 1
and 2 have sufficient compressive load strength to support typical AJAX engine-compressor and
cooler packages.

Table 3 provides compressive load estimates for 2801-, 2802-, 2803-, and 2804-based units. Skid
footprint is the skid base area that will be in direct contact with the grout. The cooler load is
computed separate from the engine-compressor load for 2803- and 2804-based units.

NOTICE: The estimates in Tables 1,2, and 3 are for reference purposes only!

Be aware that total package weight is dependent on the number and size of compressor cylinders,
and the number of compression stages and associated pressure vessels. If needed, grout
manufacturer representatives can help in the grout selection process.

†: Minimum footprint comprised of primary longitudinal skid members only.

‡: Compressive Strength (Pressure) = Unit Weight / Skid Footprint Area.

All grout should be mixed according to manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations.

All longitudinal skid members must be grouted. Major load-bearing lateral skid members should
also be grouted. Grout the skid base using procedures suitable to the application or unit involved.
The final grout level should be approximately up to the skid flange thickness. Care must be taken
to provide adequate forms to retain grout. Remove any excess grout before it has been completely
set.

After grout has set and cured sufficiently to carry the weight of the unit, relieve the load on all
levelling screws.

NOTICE: This is essential to insure that the unit is being supported only by the grout, not by
the screws.

Properly tighten foundation bolts after grout has sufficiently cured, and then recheck alignment.
Remove temporary expansion joint materials and fill expansion joints with joint compound.

2 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


General Precautions

• Locate the nearest fire extinguisher to area where maintenance is to be


performed. Ensure a clear path to fire extinguisher in case it should be
needed for an emergency situation.

• Do not open cooling or lubrication systems when engine or compressor is


hot, as steam or hot liquids can be released, which can cause severe burns.
Be aware that some surfaces can remain hot for several hours after the unit
has been shut down.

• When draining the coolant and lubricants, prevent contamination of the


environment by the equipment fluids. Refer to the equipment owner’s
material safety data sheets for additional information. (Remember:
Antifreeze/Glycol solutions, as well as most lubricants, are flammable).

• Keep the area around the unit clean and orderly with ample space to walk
safely around the unit. Clean up spills and leaks quickly to prevent
accidents caused by slipping and falling.

• Use only non-flammable, non-toxic cleaning solvents. NEVER USE


GASOLINE OR OTHER FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS FOR CLEANING
PURPOSES. REFER TO EQUIPMENT OWNER’S MATERIAL
SAFETY DATA SHEETS FOR EACH CLEANING PRODUCT FOR
ADDITIONAL PRECAUTIONS.

• Use fans, blowers, etc., during maintenance and clean-up work in enclosed
areas to remove fumes from cleaning solvents and vented gases.

• Use ladders, platforms, etc. where possible when working on elevated


work surfaces. Always stand on stable surfaces when working on this
equipment.

• Before starting any equipment, make sure all nearby personnel are aware
of the start up and are clear of the equipment.

• Do not use bare hands when checking for leaks of fluids under pressure, as
fluids or particles can penetrate skin. Use cardboard or a similar material to
check for leaks.

Chapter 1 - Safety Information 3


Engine Maintenance Precautions

Engine Maintenance Precautions


• Shut down the engine first, then prevent is from being started before the
work is done. Close the starting block valve and remove the tubing line to
the starting pilot valve. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IF THE UNIT HAS
REMOTE START CAPABILITY - a remote operations center may try to
start a unit without knowing that work is being performed on it.

• After maintenance work is done, some adjustments may need to be done


with the engine running. Stay clear of moving parts and follow instruction
manual procedures as required.

• Shut down the engine, by SHUTTING OFF THE FUEL SUPPLY. Do not
ground the ignition system to shut down a spark gas engine. This can leave
an explosive mixture in the engine and exhaust system.

• Do not remove engine cover doors immediately after shutdown. this can
cause a sudden rush of atmospheric air and result in an explosive mixture
in the crankcase. Allow the engine to cool until cover doors can be
removed with bare hands.

• Check all safety shutdown devices (overspeed, low oil pressure, high
jacket water temperature, vibration, etc.) according to the procedure and
schedule in the maintenance section of this manual.

• After completion of maintenance work, reconnect starter pilot valve line


and open block valve. REMOVE MANUAL BARRING DEVICE, if used
during maintenance.

• Before attempting to start a gas engine, it must be cranked with the fuel
and ignition off to purge the exhaust system of combustible gases. The
engine should be cranked for a minimum of 15 seconds before the ignition
is turned on and then the fuel valve opened.

• Be prepared to shut down the engine if an overspeed or other control


malfunction occurs on start-up.

• Before replacing any studs, measure stud height from machined surface
and position replacement stud to the same height.

4 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Compressor Maintenance Precautions

Compressor Maintenance Precautions


• Shut down the compressor first, then prevent it from being started before
the work is done. (see ENGINE MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
section previously if the compressor is engine driven). If driven by an
electric motor, the electric power supply must be disconnected and locked
out. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IF THE UNIT HAS REMOTE START
CAPABILITY - a remote operations center may try to start a unit without
knowing that work is being performed on it. Suctions and discharge block
valves (see sight plan for location) must be closed to prevent gas from
flowing into the compressor during maintenance. (Gas pressure could
rotate the compressor and cause injury if not shut off and ventilated
properly - see compressor section of this manual).

• After maintenance work is done, some adjustments may need to be done


with the compressor running. Stay clear of moving parts and follow
instruction manual procedures as required.

• Before attempting any maintenance or repair on the compressor, vent all


gas pressure from the cylinders, piping, and other pressurized components
or chambers. Know the piping system associated with this compressor.
Open discharge blowdown and/or bypass valves to vent system to
atmosphere. ALLOW COMPRESSOR TO COOL FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES BEFORE OPENING SUCTION OR INTERSTAGE VENTS.
Atmospheric air can be drawn in if a vacuum exists and can create an
explosive mixture. CHECK LOCAL OR PANEL PRESSURE GAUGES
FOR ZERO READING BEFORE REMOVING ANY GAS PASSAGE
COMPONENTS SUCH AS VALVES, VALVE CAPS, OR CYLINDER
HEADS.

• Unloader control pressure is typically not shown on gauges.

• Vent unloader control pressure line by loosening control line tubing fitting.

• IF POISONOUS OR SUFFOCATING GASES ARE BEING


COMPRESSED, FOLLOW ALL PLANT SAFETY PROCEDURES
PRIOR TO AND DURING MAINTENANCE ON ANY GAS
EQUIPMENT OR PIPING TO AVOID INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO
INHALATION OF SUCH SUBSTANCES.

• Regularly check around compressor and piping gaskets and joints for leaks
which could result in a fire or an explosion.

Chapter 1 - Safety Information 5


Warning, Caution, and Notice Decals

• Test all pressure gauges on a periodic basis (see maintenance schedule) to


ensure accurate pressure readings. Likewise, check all relief valves for
design opening pressure (see manufacturer’s data for each relief valve in
packaging section of manual).

• Check all safety shutdown devices (low oil pressure, high and low gas
pressures, vibration, etc.,) per the schedule in the maintenance section of
this manual.

• Remove electrical lockout function if motor driven when maintenance is


completed and REMOVE MANUAL BARRING DEVICE, if used during
maintenance, before starting unit.

Warning, Caution, and Notice Decals

WARNING: WARNING, CAUTION, AND NOTICE DECALS MUST BE


VISIBLE, READABLE, AND ATTACHED TO THE UNIT.
ANY TAGS REMOVED DURING REPAIR WORK MUST
BE REPLACED, AS WELL AS TAGS THAT HAVE BEEN
DAMAGED.

Warning, caution, and notice decals will be placed so that they are visible to the

Chapter 3
Design and Application

Integral Crankshaft
The integral one piece forged steel crankshaft has both engine crank throws and
compressor crank throws. Main bearings consist of two types: the single and
twin machines have double tapered roller bearings as mains. Twins also have a
sleeve type bearing in the center of the crankshaft that must be shimmed to
achieve the correct clearance. The three and four cylinder units use precision
sleeve type bronze backed bearings. The forged steel connecting rods in all units
have precision bronze backed bearings at the crank journal and bronze bushings
at the crosshead end. Heavy duty babbited cast iron crossheads and 4140 steel
piston rods complete the drive train.

Power and Compressor Cylinders


The engine pistons are made of cast iron, while the compressor pistons may be
either cast iron or aluminum, depending on the balancing requirements and the
application. The power cylinders which are of the ported two cycle design are
made of high grade cast iron and have chrome plated bores. Hard iron plating is
available for special applications. The compressor cylinders may be either cast
iron or forged steel, depending on the pressure requirements of the application.
Power and compressor piston rods pass through stuffing boxes containing oil
wiper packing, so the crankcase is isolated from the by-products of the power
and compressor cylinders.

Low Emission Applications


LE, or low emissions applications, use jet cells, or precombustion chambers,
which are installed in the power cylinder heads. The high-energy torch issuing
from the pre-chamber allows the main chamber to be operated with a leaner
mixture and consistently ignited, as compared to a conventional spark plug
ignition of a lean mixture. In addition, jet cells improve combustion stability and
improve fuel consumption when operating at variable speeds and reduced
torque.

Chapter 3 - Design and Application 15


Lubrication System

Lubrication System
Lubrication of the crankcase, including crankshaft and layshaft assemblies, is
accomplished with a combination of splash and flood lubrication systems, while
the power cylinders, compressor cylinders, and pressure packing are lubricated
through a pressurized force feed system.

Fuel and Cooling Systems


A hydraulic fuel injection system injects the fuel gas into the power cylinders.
Altronic capacitor discharge solid state ignition is standard equipment on all
models. The power end cooling system utilizes a standard fin tube cooler, with
the coolant being circulated by a centrifugal water pump.

To identify various components of the integral gas engine-compressor, reference


is made to the flywheel side and cooler side of the unit. When standing at the
power cylinder end, the cooler side of the unit is to the left while the flywheel
side is to the right. The power and compressor cylinders are numbered, starting
at the flywheel side of the unit. When viewed from the flywheel side, the
crankshaft rotation is clockwise. Shown in Figure 3-1 is a typical 2802LE Ajax
engine-compressor unit.

16 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Basic Application

Figure 3-1: Ajax DPC 2802LE Compressor

Basic Application
Ajax engine-compressor units are designed for continuous heavy duty operation
and perform best when loaded near rated capacity at the operating speed.
Performance curves furnished for each unit show compressor capacity versus
suction and discharge pressures at maximum rated unit speed. The rated

Chapter 3 - Design and Application 17


Two-Cycle Principle of Operation

horsepower of the engine-compressor unit can be used as the continuous duty


design capacity at sea level and 60º F ambient temperature without de-ration.

When the engine-compressor installation is to be located at an appreciable


elevation above sea level, or in ambient temperature exceeding 60 F, de-ration of
the rated horsepower must be taken into consideration in applying the engine-
compressor unit to the anticipated condition of loading.

The power that any gas engine can deliver decreases with an increase in altitude
and/or temperature of the air at the intake, due to the reduction in air density and
weight of oxygen for combustion in a given volume. The calculated reduction in
horsepower is 3 per 1,000 feet above 1,500 feet elevation and 1% for each 100º F
temperature rise above 60º F.

Two-Cycle Principle of Operation


The two stroke cycle has one working stroke of the piston for each revolution of
the crankshaft. Compression, firing, expansion, exhaust, and scavenging take
place in that order, and because these events are completed in two strokes of the
piston, this is called the two-cycle design. The piston moves toward the cylinder
head, it first closes the intake ports, then the exhaust ports, trapping a fresh
charge of air. A charge of fuel gas is injected into the cylinder at this point. The
piston compresses this mixture, which is ignited by the spark before but near top
dead center (TDC). This burning produces a rise in pressure, which forces the
piston toward the crank end on its power stroke. Expansion of the gases
continues until the piston uncovers the exhaust ports, permitting escape of the
burned gases. As the piston moves further toward the crank, the intake ports
open and the entering air displaces the remaining burned gases. After reaching
the crank end of the stroke, the piston starts toward the cylinder head on another
cycle.

The crosshead construction of this engine-compressor permits complete isolation


of the crankcase from the engine cylinder chamber. By this design, the crank end
of the piston and cylinder forms a scavenging chamber and provides an efficient
scavenging pump.

On the compression stroke, a partial vacuum is created in the scavenging


chamber at the crank end of the cylinder. The differential in pressure opens the
check valves and a fresh air charge enters until the piston reaches the firing end
of the stroke. The power stroke of the piston snaps the check valves closed and
compresses this air in the scavenging chamber above atmospheric pressure.

18 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Two-Cycle Principle of Operation

When the intake ports are opened in the cylinder, the slightly compressed air
transfers to the combustion chamber.

Figure 3-2 illustrates the two-cycle principle which provides one power stroke
for each revolution of the crankshaft, or one power stroke for each two strokes
(compression and power) of the piston. The scavenging process takes place
while exhaust and intake ports are uncovered at the conclusion of the power
stroke.

Chapter 5
Unit Installation

This chapter provides instructions on setting and installing an Ajax DPC-2801/


2802 integral engine-compressor. Topics in this chapter include:

• Installation Design

• Setting a Portable Ajax Compressor

• Sheave and Flywheel Installation

• Field Connections (Fuel Gas System/Start System)

• Exhaust System Installation and Design

Installation Design
When designing the engine-compressor installation, several factors should be
taken into consideration which can affect the overall performance of the
installation:

• An adequate foundation must be provided to assure a stationary mounting


base for the engine-compressor skid and any accessory equipment not
mounted on the skid. If the unit is installed inside a building or adjacent to
other machinery, sufficient space must be allowed around the unit to
facilitate maintenance and service work to be accomplished. (Refer to
“Foundation” drawing in Section 15).

Notice: Arrangements should be avoided which result in hot air from the
muffler or cooler flowing to the air inlet of the cooler or air
cleaner

• Air cleaners may be located outside the building to avoid heat generated by
the unit; however, direction of prevailing winds should be considered in
their location.

Chapter 5 - Unit Installation 37


Setting a Portable Ajax Compressor

• Installation of units inside buildings should be designed to allow for the


passage of hot air from the coolers to the outside through adequate natural
ventilation or through ducting to the outside of the building. Unitized
vertical discharge coolers may frequently be installed outside the building
to ease the disposal of heated air.

• The exhaust system must be properly designed for the operating conditions
of the engine-compressor, both for proper scavenging of the power
cylinders, and for correct dissipation of exhaust heat. Recommended
exhaust pipe size and length are established for the engine compressor unit
at various operating speeds (refer to “Exhaust System” below) Muffler
type and size are also critical to good operation, and recommendations
have been established for this equipment.

• The instrument panel should be located in a location convenient for the


operator.

Setting a Portable Ajax Compressor


Ajax compressors with a concrete filled skid or separate concrete filled base can
be set directly on the ground.

Before setting the portable compressor the site must be analyzed for its load
bearing capacity, and have a sand filled, level, rectangular pit.

The rectangular pit’s length and width is illustrated in Figure 5-1. Its depth
depends upon the height of the skid’s I-beam. Conventional depth is 1/4 of the
beam’s height plus 6” for the sand pad. For example, if the main skid beam is
12”H, then 1/4 x 12” - 3”, plus 6” of sand = 9” deep pit. Also, it must be level
and well drained.

After the sand is put into the pit, arrange a trough beneath the crankshaft area of
the skid. Its dimensions should be 3” deep, 2” either side of the crankshaft center
line, and the width of the pit. This will allow any discontinuities on the skid’s
bottom to be supported by sand as it migrates to fill voids during engine
operation.

After the compressor package is set on the sand pad and leveled, put additional

sand should be halfway up the height of the skid runner as illustrated in Figure 5-
2.

Chapter 5 - Unit Installation 39


Installation of Sheave and Flywheel

After the compressor starts running, the “energy” of the skid will pull the sand
under the skid - filling voids and building up a dense and reliable foundation.
Care must be taken to maintain a supply of sand to the areas from which it
migrated under the skid.

This process should allow the compressor package to “settle in” and produce a
smooth running unit.

Setting the compressor upon a sand pad that is not below grade (Figure 5-3) IS
NOT RECOMMENDED. The sand can easily was or migrate away from
beneath the compressor.

Figure 5-3

Installation of Sheave and Flywheel


The flywheels and sheave of Ajax models are installed with a RINGFEDER
locking device, which is inserted over the hub of the flywheel (or sheave) and
locks them to the crankshaft. The special procedures which must be followed for
installation and removal are as follows:

Installation
1. Clean the flywheel (or sheave) hub, bore, and mating diameter on the
crankshaft. Surfaces must be dry and free of any burrs, rust, or lubricants.
2. Remove RINGFEDER (collar, inner ring and locking screws) from
shipping container. Check if supplied locking screw threads, screw head
bearing area, and the taper of the inner ring are lubricated. If not, lubricate

40 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Installation of Sheave and Flywheel

them with a molybdenum disulfide grease, such as MolykoteGn Paste or


similar.
3. Slide Half Shrink Disk (collar and inner ring) over hub projection and
push is to required position. The hub outside diameter may be greased.

Notice: When retrofitting ringfeder on a keyed shaft, ensure inner ring


split is 180° from shaft keyway

4. Put the locking screws with hardened washers through the web clearance
holes and screw them into the corresponding collar holes, finger tight. See
Figure 5-4:

Figure 5-4: Flywheel Cross-Section

5. Slide hub over shaft to desired position.


6. Take any 3 or 4 locking screws equally spaced and snug them up to
establish a parallel or perpendicular position of the Shrink Disk collar
relative to the hub web or shaft, respectively. This will seat the collar on
the taper of the Inner ring and avoid cocking of the collar.
7. Using a torque wrench, tighten all locking screws gradually (no more than
1/2 turn on each screw at one time) and all the way around, in either a
clockwise or a counter clockwise sequence (not in diametrically opposite
sequence). Several passes are required until all screws are torqued to the
specified tightening torque. See Table 1.

8. Check and make sure that no screw will turn any more by applying
specified tightening torque (see Table 1). Only then is the installation
completed.
9. After final tightening of screws, check flywheel run-out. See Figure 5-5
for maximum tolerances. If run-out exceeds maximum, loosen all socket
head screws and tap flywheel into position using a soft hammer on wood
block. Re tighten screws following same sequence as before, and check
that runout is within tolerance.

Figure 5-5: Flywheel Tolerances

Removal
1. Gradually release locking screws all the way around. Initially each screw
should be released about a quarter of a turn only. Thus tilting and jam-
ming of the collar will be avoided.
2. Any rust formed adjacent to hub must be removed first. Once the screws
are loose, pull hub from shaft.

Re-Installation
Upon removal of component, disassemble Shrink Disk. Clean and Inspect all
parts. Reinstall following the Installation procedure, beginning with Step 2 of the
appropriate section.

Field Connections
Fuel Gas Piping
Every engine-compressor unit is supplied with fuel gas piping. A Fisher 627
Series pressure regulator is included to reduce fuel gas of 150 PSIG maximum
inlet pressure to that required at the inlet of the engine. For the DPC-2802LE,
this inlet pressure is 15 PSIG.

42 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Field Connections

If the fuel supply pressure is greater than 150 PSIG, an additional pressure
regulator will be necessary to reduce the fuel supply pressure below 150 PSIG.

Fuel gas connection sizes and pressure regulator specifications for the fuel
system are shown in Table 5-2 below.

Notice: The recommended sizing and hook-up should be strictly followed


as any deviation from these standards can greatly impair engine
performance.

Particular attention should be given to orifice sizing and spring selection in the
regulator to insure maintenance of correct fuel pressure to the engine.

(Refer to the vendor literature section of this manual for more detailed
information on the Fisher pressure regulator. See also #TP 02-22- series drawing
for location of regulator in start piping.)

An automatic shut-off valve is used to close off the fuel gas supply to the unit in
event of an emergency shutdown. This fuel valve should be located between the
fuel regulator and the throttle valve. (see Vendor Literature section for safety,
operation, installation, and maintenance information for this shut-off valve).

Air Starting System


A TDI Model T100 TURBOTWIN air startermotor is standard on all DPC-2800
series engine-compressors. The TURBOTWIN starters are powered either with
compressed air or natural gas (and “sour” natural gas as well). Small amounts of
liquid or foreign matter in the air stream will not damage the starter motor.

Maximum inlet pressures for air or gas are approximately 60 psig for ultra low
pressure motors, 90 psig for low pressure motors, and 150 psig for high pressure

Exhaust System Installation and Design

Exhaust System Installation and Design


Exhaust Pipe and Mufflers
Because of the port scavening design of Ajax engines, the design and installation
of the exhaust system is critical to satisfactory performance of the engine
compressor. The following recommendations as to the size and length of the
exhaust pipe and the size and type muffler used must be strictly followed:

• The full length of the exhaust pipe must be the same pipe size as the flange
on the exhaust manifold.

• Use as few elbows as possible, preferably no more than two, and always
use long radius elbows.

• Mufflers should be installed at the end of the recommended length of


exhaust pipe.

Table 5-4: Current Product Pipe Length


All 2800 LE Units 15’6”
All 2800 Non-LE Units 15’
All 2200 Units 14’4”

Exhaust Temperature Shutdown Settings


Normal exhaust temperatures will vary from unit to unit as the result of a number
of variables, i.e. load, heat value and constituents of fuel gas, ambient
temperature, altitude, inlet air filter arrangement, etc.

To establish a normal exhaust temperature, the unit should be loaded and run
until all engine parameters are stable, i.e. load, engine and compressor jacket
water temperature, oil temperature, etc. Once this is accomplished, record your
exhaust temperatures as normal for subject unit.

The set point for high exhaust temperature shutdown can now be set at 10-12%
above normal exhaust temperature.

Example: If normal exhaust temperature = 700º F, then the high exhaust


temperature shutdown setting = 780º F.

Maximum exhaust temperature shutdown settings should not exceed 820º F on


any Ajax engine.

Power Cylinder Pre Start-up Servicing


Before starting the engine-compressor, the following servicing steps must be
performed. Refer to the General Data Section for capacities, sizes, etc.

1. Fill crankcase to proper level with oil. Proper method of determining oil
level is explained in Section 1, which also contains specifications for
suitable lubricants.

2. Remove side cover plates check cross-head clearances.

Notice: Refer to Section 4, table 7 - Engine Component Dimensional &


Clearance Data, for Cross-Head Clearance Specs.

3. Throw oil on all cross-head guide surfaces and all piston rods until
reservoirs around cross-heads are full and oil overflows into bottom of
crankcase.

4. Pour oil in control box

5. Fill cooling system with a solution of water containing rust inhibitor or


anti-freeze which must be mixed before pouring into the cooling system.
Consult cooler manufacturer’s instruction sheets for recommendations for
rust inhibitors.

6. Tighten all cap screws and head stud nuts. Gaskets shrink in time. After
engine is up to operating temperature, torque head stud nuts again.

7. Disconnect all lubrication lines at cylinders and prime lubricator pumps


by hand until oil lines are completely full and free of air.

8. Bleed fuel system at, or close to, the fuel injection valve until fuel gas
system is free of air.

9. Check fuel injection hydraulic system reservoir and hydraulic lines for
dirt. Clean, if necessary, and fill with Ajax hydraulic fluid and bleed air
from hydraulic lines.

1. Clean and remove any debris and dirt from incoming piping before
connecting to the unit.

2. Remove all suction valve covers and cages from the first stage cylinder.

3. Remove suction valves and clean off any debris which may have
collected.

4. Rotate the crankshaft until the first stage compressor is at the outer end
of the stroke. Using feelers, lead, or wax tapers determine the clearance
between the face of the piston and the head end head.

5. Rotate the crankshaft until step 4 can be repeated on the crank end.

6. Loosen the lock nut and set screws on the piston rod at the cross-head in
the frame.

7. Turn the piston rod with a strap wrench to obtain twice as much
clearance on the head-end (step 4) as on the crank end (step 5). The result

46 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual

will be that two thirds of the total end clearance is on the head end and
one-third is on the crank end. Greater clearance on the head end
compensates for the thermal growth of the piston rod and drive gear to
give approximately equal clearance at operating temperature.

8. Tighten the lock nut and set screws on the piston rod at the cross-head.

9. By looking through suction port holes (valves were removed in step 4)


sight across bore to insure that each discharge valve is installed properly.
Remember that a valve opens in the same direction as the flow of the gas.
A long dowel rod run down throughout the suction port and across the
bore will move the discharge valve plate back and forth if the valve has
been installed properly. (If a dowel rod can open a valve, so can the gas).

10. Replace suction valves, cages, and covers on the first stage cylinder.
Just before replacing the valve covers, insure each valve is installed
properly by moving the suction valve plate back and forth with a
screwdriver.

11. Repeat steps 2 through 11 for the second stage cylinder and succeeding
stages.

12. By manually operating lubricator pumps, remove all air from the
lubrication tubing lines and prelube the piston rod packing and cylinder
bore of each cylinder.

13. Check cooler drive belts for tightness.

14. Adjust variable volume pocket to full open (outward) position. Apply
thread lubricant to adjusting thread. Consult unit performance curve and
make clearance adjustments to compressor cylinders based on existing
operating conditions.

15. Pressurize compressor cylinders and check for leaks. Replace or tighten
as required to stop leaks.

Compressor Purging

8. Follow correct start-up procedures listed below and include any


additional items specific to your compressor.

If no maintenance was performed and the unit was running prior to a shutdown,
purging may not be required and the unit may be started using the following
procedure:

Start-Up Procedure (with bypass)


1. Visually inspect the compressor and check the control panel to
determine what caused the unit to shut down. Record the cause of the
shutdown in the log book. If the visual inspection of the control panel
indicates a mechnical problem with the unit, notify the responsible
service representative as soon as possible. Do not attempt to start the unit
until after the condition which caused the shutdown has been corrected. If
there are no mechanical problems with the unit, continue with the startup
procedure.

Notice: In cold weather, follow the procedures described in ES-1006 in


addition to the procedures listed here

2. Check to see that the fuel shutoff valve has closed and properly vented
upon shutdown.

WARNING: IF THE SHUTOFF VALVE DID NOT CLOSE UPON


SHUTDOWN, THEN THE EXHAUST AND AIR
SCAVENGING SYSTEM COULD BE FILLED WITH
GAS, WHICH COULD IGNITE AND LEAD TO INJURY
OR DEATH.

3. If the fuel shutoff valve did not close upon shutdown, then shut off the
the main fuel gas supply, pull the spark plug leads from the spark plugs,
and push the stop button on the annunciator panel to disarm the ignition.
The unit can now be manually barred over or cranked with the starter
motor to purge the intake air and exhaust systems.

Chapter 6 - Unit Start-Up 49


Compressor Purging

4. Walk around the unit and look for any abnormal conditions (worn belts,
oil leaks, etc.)

5. Correct any faults on the control panel. If the unit was shut down for
vibration, then pull the spark plug leads and leave the existing shutdown
showing on the panel. Turn the unit over at least one full revolution by
hand to listen for any abnormal noises, resistance or other related
problems. Determine the cause of vibration and repair as necessary before
proceeding.

6. Make certain the bypass valve is open and that the suction gauge in the
panel indicates about 20-50 PSI (1-3 Kg/cm²) in the cylinders. Close the
suction block valve and blowdown valve to this level as required.

7. Make certain the variable volume pocket (VVP) is adjusted properly for
the loading of the unit.

CAUTION: If the VVP is set too far in or too far out, mechanical
damage can occur depending on the pressure
conditions. See the operating curves or get the
operating conditions from your distributor or the
factory.

8. Make certain that the starting system has adequate pressure based on
the starter’s maximum rating (60, 90, or 150 PSIG starter).

9. Close manual fuel valve and reset the fuel shutoff valve. Check pressure
on locally mounted or panel mounted gauge to ensure the fuel system is
pressurized.

10. Close ignitor fuel ball valve (LE units only).

11. For units with an annunciator panel - clear the panel by pushing the
reset button on the annunciator. The annunciator should read 00. If it does
not, find and correct the fault, then activate the panel lock-out timer. For
units with a tattletale panel - reset any tripped tattletale, then activate the
startup timer.

14. After 2-3 seconds, slowly open the manual fuel valve until you hear the
engine fire.

15. Quickly release the start valve lever or remote signal valve button once
the engine fires.

Notice: If the unit fails to start on the first attempt, wait two (2) minutes
before a restart attempt. Upon restart attempt, roll the unit over
at least five seconds with the starter before opening the manual
fuel gas valve. This will allow any unburned gas to exit the
engine prior to adding more fuel

16. Open fuel to ignitors (LE units only).

Notice: LE engines are equipped with a Fisher safety shutoff valve that
opens when main fuel pressure is on and closes when the fuel
valve trips

17. Maintain 300-360 RPM on the unit until it is warm enough to accept the
load (check engine crosshead guide for warmth). The manual fuel valve
may be opened fully. Adjust rpm with the governor to the desired speed.

18. Turn the panel lock-out timer to zero and arm all panel shutdowns.

WARNING: NEVER LEAVE THE COMPRESSOR SITE WITH THE


LOCKOUT TIMER RUNNING

19. Maintain a positive suction pressure once the unit starts.

20. Once the unit has warmed up, open the discharge block valve and then
the suction block valve.

52 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Chapter 7
Lubrication System

General
The Ajax lubrication system is a combination of splash, flood, and force feed.
The splash system in the crankcase provides ample lubrication for crank pins,
main bearings, cross-heads, cross-head pins, crankshaft gear, lays haft gear and
lays haft bearing at the flywheel end.

The flood system in the control box provides a bath of oil for the gears, cams,
and cam followers. The force feed lubricator pumps oil to the power cylinders,
compressor cylinders and compressor pressure packing.

Crankcase Lubrication System


Before starting up the unit initially, remove the side cover plates and fill
reservoirs until oil overflows into the bottom of the crankcase and reaches the
proper level. Thereafter, oil is added to the crankcase, when required,
automatically through the float control system. The proper oil level is
determined by measuring 27.5 inches down from the machined surface on top of
the crankcase to the surface of the oil (see Figure 7-1 below). The crankshaft
should be rotated so that at least one throw is in the oil when taking this
measurement.

Figure 7-1: Crankcase Oil Level Measurement

Chapter 7 - Lubrication System 53


Crankcase Oil Maintenance

A crankcase oil level controller (Murphy LM301) is furnished as standard


equipment (see Figure 7-2 below). This controller is usually piped up to an oil
reservoir so that if the oil level in the crankcase drops below the normal running
level, the float valve opens and admits enough oil to replenish the supply in the
crankcase.

Figure 7-2: Crankcase Oil Level Controller

This controller also has a shutdown switch, which closes the fuel valve if the
crankcase oil level drops below a certain level. This prevents serious damage
which could result if the compressor was permitted to run without sufficient oil
in the crankcase. The running level is marked with a green and white stripes (see
Figure 7-2 above). Set the level controller’s safety shutdown while the engine is
running (the p/n of the oil level controller is BM-21072).

Crankcase Oil Maintenance


Crankcase Oil Capacity
Approximate crankcase oil capacity for DPC-2201/2801 units is 25 gallons
(U.S.). Approximate crankcase oil capacity for DPC-2202/2802 units is 30
gallons (U.S.). The correct oil level is determined when the engine is stopped.
Full crankcase oil level = 27.5” from the frame’s top machined surface to the
surface of the oil.

Inspect condition of oil in the crankcase regularly. It is recommended that an oil


analysis program be established to monitor the condition of the oil.

54 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Crankcase Oil Maintenance

Crankcase Drains
Special chambers cast at the cylinder end of the cross-head guides act as settling
sumps for the crankcase lubricating oil. Occasionally remove the side covers and
clean any accumulation from these chambers. This removes the impurities that
have settled out of the oil.

Removing these impurities lengthens the interval between oil changes.


Generally, oil should be changed annually.

Drain connections are located on the end of the bed under the power cylinders.
These drains, which are piped to the edge of the skid, should be opened
occasionally to permit any oil which may have accumulated in the scavenging
chambers to run out.

CAUTION: Do not open these drains while the unit is running.


unstable combustion and rpm control may result.

Drain the crankcase every 8000 hours of operation.

When changing oil, wipe out the crankcase with clean rags.Do not use waste oil.

Scavenging Chamber Drains


Drain the air scavenging chambers every 800 hours of operation.

WARNING: DO NOT OPEN SCAVENGING CHAMBER DRAINS


WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. UNSTABLE
COMBUSTION AND RPM CONTROL MAY RESULT.

Record the amount of oil collected per cylinder. Unusual amounts of oil indicate
excessive cylinder lubrication rates, or worn wiper packing.

Crosshead Guide Drains


Drain the compressor crosshead guides every 800 hours of operation. Record the
amount of oil collected. Unusual amounts of oil indicate excessive cylinder
lubrication rates, or worn wiper packing.

Chapter 7 - Lubrication System 55


Centralized Lubrication System

Centralized Lubrication System


Lubricating Oil is distributed to lube points on the power and compressor
cylinders through a centralized lubrication system.

Force Feed Lubricators


Force feed, rotary drive lubricators are used to inject oil into the power and
compressor cylinders, providing lubrication to the pistons, piston rings, cylinder
walls and compressor piston rod pressure packing. Ajax units use a two-pump
lubricator system (see figure 7-3 below).

Figure 7-3: Premier Two-Pump Lubricator Box

The lubricator box has two reservoirs:


1. An independent oil sump for its gears and cams only. Change its oil every
8000 hours - approximately 85 ounces.

2. An overflow sump for pump plunger “slippage”. Drain the overflow sump
whenever its sight glass shows half full.

Control panels on Ajax units incorporate lubrication monitors that protect Gas
Compressors from damage due to loss of lubrication. Lubrication to the Engine/
Compressor flows through the divider block lubrication system, forcing an
internal piston to cycle back and forth. By installing a proximity switch on one of
the metering elements on each of the master divider blocks, the back and forth

Centralized Lubrication System

movement of the pistons result in an On/Off state which the control panel
continuously analyzes (See Figures 7-4 below).

Figure 7-4: Ajax Divider Valve Lubrication System

If no movement is detected within the preset alarm delay time (3 to 250 seconds,
user adjustable), a “shutdown” of the compressor will occur preventing damage
to the engine and/or compressor from loss of lubrication.

Lubricator Pumps
The lubricator pumps (see Figure 7-5 below) discharge oil into a manifold. This
oil flows through a tube line to a divider valve unit, where it is distributed to the
various lube points.

Pump Displacement: Maximum Output (Per Stroke):

Some units are equipped with an optional lube panel, which includes a filter,
lube monitor, and No-Flow switch, ahead of the divider valve:

Filter Element
A 10 Micron filter prevents impurities in the oil from entering the system. (See
Figure 10-3 below).

58 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Centralized Lubrication System

Figure 7-6: 10 Micron Filter Element

The filter element can be removed and cleaned and then reinstalled.

Notice: All in-line filter elements should be checked on a regular basis as


part of your preventive maintenance program. A dirty or clogged
filter element will affect the performance of your lubrication
system.

Lubrication Monitor
The flow meter records and measures the total volume of oil being delivered to
the system (see Figure 10-4 below).

No-Flow Switch
This switch reacts to no-flow conditions in the system. If any condition occurs
prevents the flow of oil through the system, this switch closes and an electrical
signal is transmitted to the instrument panel.

Divider Valves
The divider valves contain metering pistons which divide the flow of oil into
preset proportions for delivery to the lube points. These proportions can be
changed by replacing one or more sections of the divider valve. It is
recommended that divider blocks be removed every 8000 hours and pressure
tested.

Purging Air From the Lubrication System

Notice: For a unit-specific lubrication system schematic and parts list,


refer to the “Lubrication System Illustrated Parts List” section
that follows this chapter.

Purging Air From the Lubrication System


To ensure the flow of lubrication, the lube system must be properly purged and
primed. Use a hand flushing unit to purge the lines of air and fill the lines with
oil, and also to demonstrate that the pump units are operative and that the check
valves are in good order. Air in the lubrication system can result in phantom
shutdowns, alarms, or component failure, so it is important that you properly
purge the system at the following events:

• before initial start-up

• after extended shutdown

• after cylinder lube system shutdown or blown rupture disc

• after performing any lube system maintenance

Notice: Make certain that the oil you use to purge the divider block
lubrication system is oil that is clean, filtered, and common to the
system.

To properly purge air from the lube system:

1. Loosen the tubing connections at the inlets of the master and secondary
divider valves

2. Loosen the tubing connections of the cylinder or packing gland injection


points.

3. Remove the tubing from the discharge side of the pump.

Chapter 7 - Lubrication System 61


Power Cylinder Lubrication Rates

4. Connect the purge gun to the tubing.

5. Hold the purge gun in a vertical position to avoid pumping air into the
system.

6. Pump oil into the system until you no longer see air bubbles flowing from
the tubing connection at the inlet of the master divider valve.

7. Tighten the tubing connection at the inlet of the master divider valve
while oil is still flowing into the system.

8. Continue to pump the purge gun until you no longer see air bubbles
flowing from the tubing connection at the inlet of the secondary divider
valve.

9. Tighten the tubing connection at the inlet of the secondary divider valve
while oil is still flowing.

10. Continue to pump the purge gun until you no longer see air bubbles
flowing from the tubing connections at the cylinder or packing gland
injection points.

11. Tighten the tubing connections at the cylinder and packing gland
injection points while oil is still flowing.

You have now completed purging the lubrication system.

Power Cylinder Lubrication Rates


(for DPC-2200 and DPC-2800 Series Compressors)

Notice: Adjust each pump’s stroke to attain the desired lubrication rate
for the initial 24 hour “break in” running period. Afterwards, re-
adjust each pump to attain lubrication rates for normal
operations.

The amount and type of lubrication required to provide safe and ample cylinder
lubrication is based on years of operating experience. A number of variables,

62 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Power Cylinder Lubrication Rates

such as the gas being used as fuel, have great bearing on both the quantity and
the characteristics of the lubricating oil best suited.

Use of divider valve designs provides a simple, reliable and predictable approach
to engine cylinder and compressor cylinder lubrication. Simplicity is enhanced
by use of a lubrication monitor that senses divider valve operation, and displays
pints/day of lube oil consumption based on RPM and a divider valve assembly’s
displacement volume.

The following rates for engine cylinders are based on the use of dry gas, and lube
oil per Ajax engineering standard ES-1006. HP listings are at standard
conditions of 100ºF and <1500’ elevation.

Notice: Engine lubrication rates for normal operations are based on 1 pint/

Lubricating Oil Recommendations for Ajax Engine-


Compressors
General
The lubrication of Ajax equipment requires the use of premium quality
lubricating oils designed specifically for natural gas 2 cycle engine - compressor
service. This standard describes oils which have proven successful in field use.

Customers operating engines with exhaust catalyst systems, fuels with high
sulfur contents, landfill gas, unusual fuels or non-traditional applications should
contact Ajax Engineering for lubricant and maintenance recommendations.

Recommendations for compressor cylinders and piston rod packing are found in
Engineering Standard ES-1002.

Qualm and Performance


Satisfactory oil quality is the responsibility of the refiner, blender or rebrander.
Only reputable companies with proper service organizations should be used as
suppliers.

Cooper Compression does not guarantee the quality or performance of


lubricating oils.

Cooper Compression does not endorse particular brands of oil. For customer
convenience, information on oils by brand name is maintained by Cooper
67 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual
Lubricating Oil Recommendations for Ajax Engine-Compressors

Compression. Customers are invited to advise Ajax Engineering or service


representatives what brands of oils are preferred. Cooper Compression can then
cite the oils which have given satisfactory service in similar applications.

General Specification
A general description of oils suitable for use in Ajax equipment is an ashless oil
specifically formulated for 2-cycle natural gas engines with the following
properties:

Table 7-7: Physical Properties of Recommended Oil

Viscosity 70 Minimum ASTM D2270


Index
Flash 400° (204°C) ASTM D92
Point Minimum
Pour 10°F (-12°C) ASTM D97
Point Maximum

Ash Level: Ashless oils with a sulfated ash content of up to 0.1% maximum by
ASTM D874 are preferred. Oils with ash levels up to 0.8% may be used but they
may cause combustion chamber deposits, especially if they contain more than
0.04% by weight zinc.

Viscosity Requirements: Ajax equipment uses a splash lubrication system to


lubricate the compressor cross-head. Lubricating oil must be sufficiently fluid at
the ambient temperature in order to lubricate the cross-head properly. Multi-
grade oils may be used to provide proper lubrication at low temperatures. Figure
7-1 should be used to select the proper viscosity grade for the lowest ambient
temperature expected.

Low Temperature Operation Procedures


If frequent cold weather starts are necessary, contact your local aftermarket sales
office for information about heated pre-lube systems for your engine.

The following procedures are recommended to warm the engine and oil in cold
weather to prevent damage due to insufficient oil flow. Starting the engine and
allowing it to run with the oil too cold to flow will result in severe engine
damage.

Units Down Less Than 5 Hours: for units down less than 5 hours and the
ambient temperatures have been above 40° F, idle (minimum 300 RPM) the unit
for 20 minutes, then run 15 minutes with a light load before fully loading the
unit.

For units that have been down less than 5 hours and the ambient temperatures
have been 40 ° F or below, idle (minimum 300 RPM) the unit for 30 minutes,
then run 30 minutes with a light load before fully loading the unit.

Units Down More Than 5 Hours: The following procedure is for a unit that has
been down for more than 5 hours. This procedure will allow the unit time for
thermal expansion in order to maintain sufficient running clearances.

To properly warm the unit, find the overnight low ambient temperature in the
first column of chart below. Start and idle the unit at 300 RPM for the number of
minutes required for the overnight low ambient temperature. Then shut the unit
down the number of minutes required. Repeat this sequence the number of times
listed. Continue in this order until you have met the requirements for that
temperature range. This procedure will allow components such as cross-heads,

Chapter 8
Fuel System

The basic operation of an engine equipped with gas injection is the same as for
low pressure fuel. The primary difference between gas injection and low
pressure operation is that the fuel is injected directly into the cylinder in gas
injection operation instead of being drawn into the engine with the air charge
through the scavenging chamber. The injection is timed to take place just as the
exhaust ports are closing on the compression stroke. Therefore, the exhaust
gases are scavenged with air only, thus preventing fuel loss through the exhaust
ports during scavenging.

This system utilizes cam operated mushroom plunger pumps (reference A in


Figure 8-1 below) which give a constant lift to hydraulically actuated fuel
injection valves. These pumps are located on top of the control box (B) and are
actuated by cams on the layshaft. A combination of a throttle and an electronic
governor, or IGTB (C) varies the gas volume supplied to the injection valves to
suit the engine load. The injection valves (D), which are installed in the power
cylinder heads, inject the fuel gas directly into the combustion chamber.

Chapter 8 - Fuel System 71

Figure 8-1: Plunger Pumps, Control Box, Governor, and

A 3/8” tube line is used to transmit the incoming fuel pressure from the upstream
side of the IGTB to the top of the fluid tank. If at all possible, this line should be
taken from the upstream side of any automatic fuel shut-off valve in the system,
but still be downstream of the fuel pressure regulator (with a check valve in line)
: This pressurizing line may be closed off by means of an angle valve located at
the tank end of the line. A 3/8” tube line supplies fluid from the tank to the
plunger pumps. Included in these lines are the flow control valves at the pumps
which prevent return flow to the tank on the pressures stroke (see Figure below).
.
A 3/8” tube line connects each pump to the related injection valve and transmits
the hydraulic pressure from the pump to the plunger in the injection valve.

72 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


At the injection valve end of this line is a bleed cock through which entrained air
may be removed from the system.

A 1/4” tube line connects the injection valve to the fluid supply tank. This line
returns to the supply tank the fluid which is vented when the spill ports in the
injection valve are uncovered.

Operation of the system

Operation of the system


As the plunger in the pump is lifted by the cam, the resulting pressure is
transmitted to the plunger in the injection valve. This plunger contacts the end of
the injection valve stem so that any motion of the plunger will open the gas
injection valve. When the injection valve spill ports open, relieving the pressure,
the valve spring immediately forces the plunger up and closes the gas injection
valve.(see figure 8-3 below)

After the pump plunger has completed its lift and starts the return stroke, it
begins to create a slight vacuum in the system which is relieved by the opening
of the flow control valve. Upon opening, fluid flows from the tank to the pump
barrel. The fluid in the tank is pressurized with the fuel gas pressure.

is to maintain an established set point throughout the load range of the engine.
(see section 9, IGTB, for more detailed information on the IGTB).

Hydraulic Fluid
This system is designed for use with Ajax Hydraulic Fluid (YAE-2150-
1). One gallon of this fluid is furnished with each system. Do not substitute any
other fluid without prior approval of Ajax Engineering Department.
The closed hydraulic system requires only a small amount of make-up
fluid, however, the operator should watch this fluid level carefully until he is
familiar with the amount of make-up fluid required. He should also be sure that
the make-up fluid is clean, as dirt will damage the injection valve, injection
pump, and flow control valve, thus causing the system to malfunction.

Fluid supply Tank


This is the standard fluid tank equipped with a full height transparent plastic oil
level gauge. Filled to the top of the oil level gauge, the tank holds one quart.
The top is sealed with a 1-1/4” pipe plug.

Pump Assembly
The pump assembly consists of a plunger and barrel assembly, which is operated
by a hardened cam mounted on the layshaft. The cam has a constant lift of
.270”.

Gas Injection Timing Instructions


To ensure the correct gas injection timing, the gas injection cams on the layshaft
must be indexed with respect to the crankshaft. The correct timing for the start
of the hydraulic plunger lift is 2° ABDC on Standard Engines and 26° on LE
units.

Checking the gas injection timing on the DPC-2802LE engine:


1. Positioning of the crankshaft can be determined from the flywheel
keyway, which is oriented in the direction of the #1 power cylinder
crankshaft journal (see Figures 8-4 and 8-5). In other words, if the

Chapter 8 - Fuel System 75


Gas Injection Timing Instructions

keyway is at the 9 o’clock position , the #1 power cylinder is at TDC.


Use an adjustable square head with a level vial, placed against the outer
flat of the flywheel keyway. Rotate the crankshaft in the direction shown.
The correct crankshaft position for checking the gas injection can timing
is 13° for STD units and 37° for LE units.

Figure 8-4: Fuel Cam Timing Diagram

Figure 8-5: Setting the Fuel Cam Timing


2. Once the crankshaft has been positioned, remove the hydraulic plunger
and top cover from the accessory case. Opposite the set screw on the cam
hub is a 1/4” via. hole. Place a 1/4” via. rod in this hole on the #1 power

Gas Injection Timing Instructions

cylinder cam. This is the cam furthest from the crankshaft. The 1/4” hole
is positioned 11º after the actual opening on the cam ramp so that setting
the crankshaft as described above results in an actual timing. The rod
should be at 90º to the top surface of the accessory case. This may be
checked with a 90º square, as shown in Figure 8-6.

Figure 8-6

Chapter 8 - Fuel System 77


Gas Injection Timing Instructions

The lay shaft drive gear, driven gear and driven gear keyway location are marked
at the Ajax factory, as indicated in Figure 8-7. This should insure the correct
timing.

Figure 8-7: Marked Keyway Locations

Notice: However, if these punch marks are missing, or the checking


procedure does not come out correctly, proceed as follows:

With the drive gear and key installed on the crankshaft and the driven gear
removed from the layshaft, position the crankshaft as described. Rotate the
layshaft by hand so that the #1 cam is in the correct position.
1. Adjustment for setting the gas injection timing is provided for by 4
keyways in the layshaft gear. Each of these keyways is oriented
differently with respect to the gear teeth. Slide the layshaft gear
completely onto the layshaft and check to see if the keyway in the gear
lines up with the keyway in the layshaft. If the keyways do not line up,
remove the layshaft gear and rotate it about 90° and slide it back onto the
layshaft. Do this until the keyways line up. Please note that the keyway
in the layshaft gear is tapered to accept a tapered key. The layshaft gear
must be installed so that the large end of the taper is facing out. When the
proper gear position has been determined, install the tapered key and

78 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Flow Control Valve

punch mark the gears and key location. This will allow correct assembly
should the unit have to be serviced in the future.

Notice: When one or both of these gears is replaced, be sure to check for
proper backlash. This should be checked at 90° intervals of the
gears. Backlash should be .003” to .006”. If backlash is not
within this tolerance range, pull the dowel pins which locate the
layshaft bearing, and adjust the position of the layshaft bearing to
obtain proper backlash between the gears. Then re-drill and
dowel the layshaft bearing to maintain this setting. Remove the
layshaft drive gear and make sure the layshaft turns freely by
hand. Re-install layshaft drive gear as match-marked previously.

Flow Control Valve


The flow control valve is mounted on the pump in the tube line supplying the
fluid from the tank to the pump. The flow control valve seals the pressure during
the delivery stroke of the pump buy permits replenishing of the oil supply to the
pump during the suction stroke. The flow control valve also contains a needle-
bypass valve which is used when bleeding air from the system.

The needle bypass valve must be fully closed for gas injection operation.

Injection Valve Assembly


The injection valve assembly has an adjustment collar which is used to vary the
lift of the valve stem by changing the location of the spill ports. The valve is
opened by hydraulic pressure from the plunger pump and is closed by the spring
as soon as the spill ports open to relieve the hydraulic pressure.

Bleeder Cock
The 1/8” bleeder valve mounted in the pressure line on the injection valve head
is used to bleed off entrained air from the system before starting the engine.
When bleeding off the entrained air, it is necessary to have the needle bypass
valve in the full open position.When using these bleeders, it is essential to
pressurize the injection system with fuel gas pressure. This is accomplished by
opening the angle valve near the top of the fluid supply tank to permit fuel gas to

Chapter 8 - Fuel System 79


Ajax Jet Cell Operation and Maintenance

enter. This pressure on the fluid in the tank facilitates bleeding off small
entrained air bubbles.

CAUTION: The fluid level in the tank should never be allowed to


drop lower than the level of the return lines from the
injection valves to the tank

Bleeding of Air Before Starting


When starting the engine the first time after the system is installed or any time
the fluid has been drained from the system, it is of utmost importance that all air
be bled from the system as described above. If the system has not been relieved
of air bubbles, the injection valves will not open.

Ajax Jet Cell Operation and Maintenance

Low emission (LE) engines use jet cells, or pre-combustion chambers, which
emit a high energy torch into the engine’s main chamber, so that the main
chamber operates with a leaner, more consistently ignited mixture than that of a
conventional spark plug igntion of a lean mixture. In addition, jet cells improve
combustion stability and reduce fuel consumption when operating at variable
speeds and reduced torque.

A jet cell-equipped engine does require some additional maintenance over a


standard combustion engine. This additional maintenance is offset by gains in
combustion stablility, lower emissions, and improved fuel economy.

80 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual

Jet Cell Operation


The jetcell is part of an ignitor assembly that is installed in the cylinder head.

Ignitor Assembly

Figure 8-8: Ignitor Assemblies on a 2802LE Engine-Compressor

The nozzle end of the jet cell is designed with a specific volume and has a
communicating angled exit orifice. A spark plug for ignition and a fuel
admission check valve complete the ignitor assembly (See Figure Below).

CAUTION: Do not install the W-18 spark plug in the YK-8209C jet cell.
Damage may occur to the ignitor and/or spark plug threads
as well as the result of thread depth and thread reach,

]
Site conditions determine ignitor fuel pressure. During one cycle of operation, as
the piston comes up on compression, the pressure within the cylinder is lower
than the pilot gas pressure and fuel is admitted into the cell. When the pressure
within the cylinder becomes greater than the fuel pressure, then the pilot check
valves close.

The main fuel valve admits fuel into the cylinder per the designed timing.
Ignition occurs within the jet cell and the rich fuel mixture ignites. The pressure
rise caused by this energy release forces the burning mixture to exit through the

igniting the main combustion charge.

Figure 8-10: Pilot Fuel Headers

Ignition Timing
In standard spark ignited engines, the ignition timing is approximately 9 to 12
before top dead center (BTDC).A jet cell promotes faster burning at ignition, so
ignition timing on LE units is 3 BTDC.

Maintenance
The jet cell has a graphoil seal employed as a bottom water seal, and an “O” ring
as the top water seal, and a round Armco iron gasket which acts as a fire seal.

The unit is held in place with a two-bolt flange and torqued to 70 ft-lbs

After you remove a jet cell from the cylinder head, and before you reinstall the
jet cell, it is important that you clean the access hole for the cell of any scale
build-up, install new gaskets and seals, and properly torque the unit to 70 ft-lbs.
Use a locating dowel to assure proper orientation of the exit orifice of the cell in
relation to the main combustion chamber.

Spark Plugs
The part number of the current jet cell is YK-8209-C-2. The cell uses a Stitt SR-
107-2 (Ajax P/N BM-1022-P) spark plug with an initial gap of 0.015”. The main
chamber and jet cell use the same spark plug.

CE applications use a Stitt SU-107-2H spark plug (Ajax P/N BM-1022-P-1).

In service, the center and ground electrodes will deteriorate, which increases the
spark plug gap. Erratic firing will occur once the gap increases 0.005” - 0.010”
from the original setting, and the plugs should be replaced.
83 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual
Ajax Jet Cell Operation and Maintenance

The spark plug cools through the spark plug gasket seating surface and threads.
These areas within the cell have thin metal sections and are surrounded with
engine coolant.

Ensure that the secondary ignition wiring and associated components are always
in good condition.

Fuel Admission Check Valves


The primary check valve (p/n YK-8339) is the most important part of jet cell
operation. The valve admits fuel in the cell when cylinder pressure is less than
the pilot fuel pressure, and closes when cylinder pressure increases. The check
valve also withstands the high pressure within the cell at the time of ignition.

From the primary check valve, fuel gas enters the jet cell through fuel porting
(see figure below). Incomplete combustion occurs at times in these passages due
to fuel entrapment, which tends to produce a soot-carbon residue. In some cases,
this build-up is not harmful to check valve operation, but in other cases it can be

to allow pilot fuel pressures to be comparable to main fuel pressure. The orifice
resembles a 1/8” toe nipple. Ensure this is an orifice by visual inspection, noting
a small 0.038” internal hole. Clean when servicing the primary check valve.

Cooling System

Circulation of coolant through the engine and compressor cylinder water jackets
is provided by a centrifugal water pump which is belt driven by a crankshaft
sheave.

The high temperature shutdown switch for the power cylinder cooling system is
mounted in the instrument panel with the sensor installed in the outlet line from
the cylinder heads. It should be set at 185° F.

Compressor Cylinder Cooling


Some general limitations for the compressor cylinder cooling system are as
follows:

• Minimum water supply temperature should be at least 90° F, but not


greater than 160° F.

• To prevent condensation of gas constituents on cylinder walls and sticking


pistons, water supply temperature must be at least 10° F above suction gas
temperature.

• In order to limit capacity reduction, water supply temperature should be no


more than 30° F above suction gas temperature, except when suction gas
temperature is below 60° F.

• Required water flow is to be based on a 10° F temperature rise from inlet to


outlet of cylinder jacket.

The high temperature shutdown switch for the compressor cylinder cooling
system is mounted in the instrument panel with the sensor installed in the outlet
line from the compressor cylinders. It should be set at 180° F.

Precautions
Precautions to be taken with the cooling system are as follows:

• Use clean, soft water, free from salt and other corrosive compounds.

Chapter 9 - Cooling System 21


Precautions

• Keep the cooler full of coolant.

• Keep fan belt(s) from slipping.

• Water and ethylene glycol mixture is a suitable coolant. It should be used if


freezing temperatures are to be encountered and it is very satisfactory in
non-freezing applications because of the inclusion of corrosion inhibitors.
Plain water should have a corrosion inhibitor added.

NOTICE:
If an anti-freeze is to be used, it must be mixed with the water
before being poured into the cooling system.

• Clean dirt and insects from outside of the cooler regularly. The
approximate quantity of coolant required for the cooling system is 150
U.S. gallons.

22 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Chapter 10
Power Cylinder Assembly

Power cylinders are made of cast iron and the bore is normally chromed,
however, hard iron is also available for harsh applications such as sour gas. The
cylinders are of the two stroke ported design with 10 intake ports across the top
of the cylinder and 5 exhaust ports across the bottom. The cylinders are cooled
by a water jacket.

Power Cylinder Wear


Cylinders should be checked for finish and wear each time the piston is pulled. It
is difficult to make recommendations regarding the point of wear at which the
cylinder should be restored. It is evident, however, that such a point of wear
depends to a large extent upon the fuel load and fuel cost conditions under which
the engine is required to operate. Because of these variable factors, any given
point of wear could be economical under one set of conditions and uneconomical
under another. On the average, however, it is recommended that cylinder bores
be restored if:

• worn .005 oversize

• worn through the chrome plating

Cylinder bores can be restored by stripping and replating. Reboring the cylinder
to an oversize condition is not recommended.

Notice: Refer to Section 3, Table 2, Engine Component Dimensional &


Clearance Data, for information on engine component wear
limits.

Combustion of Air Intake Check Valves


The air intake check valves (sometimes referred to as “mixing valves”) which
are installed between the air intake header and the scavenging chamber permits
air to enter the scavenging chamber during the compression stroke of the power
piston.

Chapter 10 - Power Cylinder Assembly 87


Piston and Piston Rings, Power End

As the piston changes direction and it begins its power stroke cycle, the pressure
in the scavenging chamber changes from vacuum to a pressure. This creates a
differential that closes the “reed” valves to prevent the new charge of combustion
air from escaping. As the piston continues on its power stroke, this air is
compressed to a positive pressure (8-10 psig). The “reed” valves are thin strips
of stainless steel which are held against the seat by small coil springs.

Piston and Piston Rings, Power End


Power pistons are made of cast iron and the rods are 4140 steel. The rods are
threaded into the piston crown and peened. These assemblies are NOT
serviceable, as the piston and rods are a matched set.

The engine pistons are finish machined on the rod to assure accurate
concentricity and alignment.When replacing a piston and rod assembly, adjust it
so that the set screw in the cross-head finds its original seats on the flat of the
rod. If the set screw is tightened down on the threads instead of the flat, both the
piston rod threads and cross-head threads will be damaged.

Notice: Care should be taken to avoid dropping the piston and rod
assemblies during handling. Rough handling will cause
misalignment between the rod and piston.

CAUTION: Rings which become stuck reduce the compression


pressure and cause hard starting, imperfect
combustion, loss of power and blow-by, of which the
latter destroys the lube oil film on the cylinder wall.

An engine cannot operate properly with stuck rings. Such a condition requires
an immediate shut down for servicing.

When it’s necessary to replace the rings, fit each new ring to the cylinder.

Check carefully that the gap or end clearance at ting joint is sufficient. The
recommended end clearance of piston rings, when cold, is listed in Section 4.

88 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Engine Piston Rod Stuffing Box

CAUTION: If this precaution is not taken and there is insufficient


clearance, when the rings heat and expand, the ends
may come in contact producing outward pressure which
will score the cylinder.

The joints in the rings should be staggered, and arranged so the ring gap does not
pass over the ports.
Engine piston rings on all units have tapered faces, as shown in Figure 10-1.

Figure 10-1: Engine Pistion Ring Tapered Face

Care should be exercised in installing new rings to be certain that the smaller
diameter of the rings on the cylinder head end of the piston face the cylinder
head. On the skirt end of the piston, the smaller diameter faces the crankshaft.
The smaller diameter can be readily identified as it is marked TOP.

Notice: Improper installation of these rings will materially increase break-


in time and shorten their life.

Engine Piston Rod Stuffing Box


The stuffing box seals off the crankcase from the scavenging chamber, in which
pressure and vacuum are alternately developed. The stuffing box contains
metallic packing, which prevents products of combustion from entering the

Chapter 10 - Power Cylinder Assembly 89


Packing ring installation

crankcase and contaminating the lubricating oil, and, at the same time, prevents
leakage of lubricating oil from the crankcase to the scavenging chamber.

Before re-assembling the stuffing box on the rods, carefully inspect the piston
rod for any roughness, or nicks. All marks must be removed from the rod with a
fine stone. If the marks cannot be removed, the piston and rod should be
replaced.

Use a thimble, which slips over the piston rod, when the rod is being inserted
through the packing rings. This will protect the packing rings from the sharp
edges of the threads.

To remove the power end stuffing box, the cylinder head and piston and rod
assembly must be detached from the bed. The stuffing box is revolved through
the side cover opening after removing the piston and rod assembly and cylinder
head.

Packing ring installation


Replacement packing rings can be installed without removing the cylinder head
and piston and rod assembly. After removing the side cover, the stuffing box can
be taken apart and the components carefully slid along the piston rod to expose
the packing rings. The packing rings are made up of segments and can be
disassembled by removing the garter spring. The replacement rings can then be
installed by positioning the segments around the rod and assembling the garter
spring to hold them in place.

In order for the stuffing box to function properly, the packing rings must be
assembled correctly. The vacuum cup, which is next to the power cylinder,
contains two seal rings. Next is the wiper cup, which contains a seal ring and
two grooved wiper rings. This is followed by a retainer plate and a baffle or
scraper ring, which is contained in the scraper cup.

All rings must be assembled on the piston rod with the lettered or grooved side
facing the crankcase. See Figure 10-2.

90 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual

Compressor piston rod stuffing box

The compressor piston rod stuffing box acts as a seal to prevent the crankcase oil
from leading out around the compressor piston rod.

Use a thimble which slips over the piston rod threads whenever the rod is being
inserted through the packing rings to protect the packing rings from the sharp
edges of the threads.

Packing ring installation


Replacement packing rings can be installed in this stuffing box without
removing the compressor piston and rod.These rings are made in segments and
can be removed and replaced similar to the rings in the engine stuffing box.The
rings must also be assembled correctly, if they are to function properly.

The packing cup on the side towards the compressor cylinder contains two seal
rings. The three grooved wiper rings are installed in the adapter and are

contained by the retainer plate.These rings must be installed with the grooved
side facing away from the crankcase. See Figure 10-3 below

Ajax Power Cylinder Balancing


Power cylinder balancing by pressure is preferred over exhaust
temperature balancing if at all possible. Pressure traces can be taken using an
EnSpec 1000 or equivalent pressure analyzer. A trace of peak firing pressure
will be taken at rated load and RPM. All cylinders must be balanced at rated
conditions: cylinder peak-to-peak firing pressures are to be within 20 PSI of
each other. Pressure deviations should be less than 35 PSI for Ajax open
chamber (non-LE) engines and less than 30 PSI for Ajax pre-chamber (LE)
engines.
If a pressure analyzer is unavailable, cylinders may be balanced by exhaust
temperatures. This is not as accurate as pressure balancing but will suffice in the
absence of pressure balancing. Exhaust temperatures should be maintained
within 40ºF of each other at rated load and RPM.

It should be noted that an engine running below rated load and RPM, balancing
within the afore mentioned parameters may vary due to changes in air/fuel ratios.

Ajax Low Emissions Retrofit Conversions, 13-1/4


inch and 15 inch Bores - Assembly Procedure
The new AJAX Low Emissions (LE) Engine utilizes a squish design combustion
chamber that includes a jet cell (igniter cell). The assembly procedure is
basically the same as on a standard engine, with the following additions and
changes in gas valve timing, ignition timing and power piston position.

Piston and Head Installation


1. The piston used on the LE engine does not incorporate notches or tapped
holes in the crown for installation as compared to the standard

92 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Ajax Low Emissions Retrofit Conversions, 13-1/4 inch and 15 inch Bores - Assembly Pro-
cedure

combustion engine. It is recommended that a rod wrench (or strap


wrench) be used to install or remove the power piston.

2. Screw piston into cross-head until approximately three (3) threads are left
showing. Do not tighten rod nut at this time.

3. Install cylinder head (with gasket) and torque to 600 ft-lbs.

4. Using solder, set piston-to-head striking clearance at 0.110inches


(0.010inches). This is measured at the 6:00 position by inserting solder
through the gas injection hole down towards bottom of head. Roll piston
forward (rotate crankshaft in CW direction) past TDC, thus crushing
solder. Using a micrometer or dial calipers, measure thickness of crushed

Chapter 10 - Power Cylinder Assembly 93

cedure

solder. Adjust piston position accordingly, to obtain proper striking


clearance. Refer to Figure 1.

Figure 10-4: Piston to Head Striking Clearance

5. Once clearance is set, torque rod nut and check clearance again. Piston
has a tendency to turn out slightly when tightening nut.

Gas Cam Timing


Refer to ESS-T-911 as a basis for fuel injection timing. The following changes
must be made when converting an engine to LE application.
1. The flywheel and gear shield must be removed in order to remove layshaft
and reset cam timing.

94 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Ignition Timing

2. Cam timing is retarded from the standard 13º ABDC beginning of


injection to 37º ABDC. Do not go beyond 37º ABDC! If gears do not
line up with cams at 37º ABDC, go back towards BDC (i.e. 35º ABDC).
Beginning of injection is 37º ABDC on all LE engines but the method of
setting the timing is different on DPC-2804s.

Ignition Timing
Ignition timing is changed on all LE engines to 3º BTDC. New mag pickup
brackets are furnished for all conversions through the DPC-600 & DPC-2803 to
accommodate the timing change

Igniter Assembly Installation.


1. Igniter assembly is indexed with a roll pin that lines up with a slot
machined in the LE power head. This ensures proper direction of igniter
exit orifice.

Notice: It is very important that the pin and slot are lined up properly!
Misalignment will result in severe piston crown damage

Notice: when igniter is torqued into the head, the roll pin will not
completely set into slot. This is only an alignment reference.

2. Install gasket (p/n SF-34-65) onto end of igniter by pressing on or using


small amount of grease to hold gasket in place when installing igniter into
the head. Insure O-ring is installed on igniter at this time also.

3. Install water seal (p/n 2-013-129-002) into head.

Chapter 10 - Power Cylinder Assembly 95


Spark Plugs

4. Install igniter into head being very careful not to damage water seal. This
may take some hand fitting of seal. Torque down in progressive 5 ft-lb incre-
ments to 70 ft-lbs.

Figure 10-5: Igniter Assembly

Spark Plugs
On older LE equipment (pre/92), where a YK-8209-C jet cell was used, a
Champion RW77N (BM-1022-2) spark plug with an initial gap of 0.015” to
0.018” was used. The main chamber spark plug utilized the Champion W-18
(BM-1022). Current production models (post 9/92), where a YK-8209-C-1 is
utilized, use a Champion W-18 (BM-1022) spark plug with an initial gap of
0.020” This allows use of the same spark plug for both the main chamber and the

igniter. The current production jet cell 9YK-8209-C-1) is identified with a ‘3/4/
stamped on the top face.

CAUTION: Do not install the W-18


spark plug in the YK-
8209-C jet cell. Damage
may occur to igniter and/
or spark plug threads as
the result of thread depth
and thread reach,
respectively

Gas Injection Valves


The gas injection valve used in the LE power end is of the same basic design as
the one used in the standard combustion assembly but the valve housing and
plunger housing are not interchangeable. The gas injection valve assembly on
the LE engine has a longer valve body housing and a shorter plunger housing to
accommodate the profile of the power head.

Miscellaneous
in addition to the preceding requirements, engines that are converted to the LE
design must have:

• Dry type, low restriction intake system


• Ring gear start system on 15” bore engines
• 3/8” hydraulic supply lines on gas injection system
• Exhaust line adjustment to compensate for length of insertion pipe in muffler

Compressor Cylinder Assembly

Performance
By using a few simple checks, the operator can quickly determine if the
compressor cylinder is operating properly. The most obvious indication of
trouble is reduced capacity.

When a capacity reduction is noticed, feel the suction valve covers. A warm or
hot suction cover indicates a leaking valve. The discharge valve covers will
naturally run hot. However, if one cover is hotter than others, valve leakage is
indicated.

For a unit having two or more stages, it is a good idea to record the normal
interstage pressures and temperatures. Many times a change of interstage
conditions is merely normal reaction to a change in the unit’s overall
compression ratio. However, if the first stage suction conditions and the final
stage discharge pressure have not changed, then any change in interstage
conditions should be investigated.

An abnormal increase in interstage pressure indicates problems in the higher


stages; whereas, an abnormal decrease in interstage pressure indicates problems
in the lower stages.

Temperature gauges may be installed to show that operating gas temperature out
of each stage. Any significant rise in temperatures from a cylinder indicates an
abnormal condition, such as a leaking valve or a broken ring.

Clearance Adjustment - Compressor


One of the methods used to alter the horsepower and capacity of a compressor
cylinder is to change its head end clearance percent. “Normal” clearance percent
is by definition the minimum possible and will result in maximum horsepower
requirement and capacity. Reduction of horsepower and capacity is
accomplished by the addition of clearance volume, usually to the head end of the
compressor cylinder. Various devices, such as bottles, plugs and pockets, are
available to add clearance volume.

Chapter 11 - Compressor Cylinder Assembly 99


Performance Curves - Compressor

Performance Curves - Compressor


Performance curves are normally furnished which illustrate the proper
clearancing required to fully load the unit over various ranges of suction or
discharge pressures. Sometimes unpredictable situations occur which are not
covered by the performance curve and adjustments are made by “feel”. The
problem with operating out of the scope of an appropriate performance curve is
that the operator can easily exceed the allowable rod load or encounter a very
low or negative volumetric efficiency without having knowledge of doing so. A
typical problem encountered is the result of adding too much learance volume to
the head end of a cylinder. A point is reached (usually about 30% volumetric
efficiency) where the head end is incapable of producing a specific capacity. The
crank end of the cylinder will still be producing, but the head end will be erratic
or non-producing. In this situation, the head end works continuously on the
same volume of gas and generates undesirable heat. A better arrangement,
producing the same capacity, would be to operate single acting.

Single Acting Operation


When the required capacity drops the volumetric efficiency of the cylinder
below 50% it may be desirable to operate singel acting with one end of the
cylinder unloaded. This can be accomplished by removing the suction valves
from the end to be unloaded. The cylinder will then compress gas only on the
loaded end.

Hydrogen Sulfide Gas


Compressor cylinder are specially built whenever the gas contains more than 32
grains of hydrogen sulfide (.05% by volume). Higher percentages of hydrogen
sulfide increase the precautions taken.

Compressor Cylinder Bodies


Cylinder bodies are provided with water jackets which are accessible by
removing the cover plates. Cover plates should be removed periodically for
inspection and cleaning of the cooling surfaces.

100 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Slip Liners

Some cylinder groups are solid bore types and the piston runs directly on the
cylinder body bore. If the gas is clean and proper lubrication is maintained, solid
bore cylinders will rarely need recondititiong or replacement.

Slip Liners
Slip liners are held in place by the cylinder head pressing against the flange
portion of the liner. Slip liners do not have interference with the cylinder bore
and can be removed easily after the cylinder head as been removed. In order to
get the liner started out of the body, the unit should be barred over with the end
of the piston rod pushing against a wooden block in the valve ports of the liner.
Once the liner is out far encough to get hold of the liner flange, remove the
piston and rod assembly. The liner can new be removed by hand.

Use new “O” rings, new back-up rings, and new liner flange gaskets when
installing a slip liner. Be sure factory flange gaskets are used, since improper
materials and sizes contribute to flange failures.

Side the inner flange gasket over the liner O.D. before installing back-up rings
and “O” rings on the liner. Slide the liner into the cylinder body making sure the
oil hole in the liner is aligned with the oil holein the cylinder body. Replace the
cylinder head and torque the cylinder head nuts.

Shrink Liners
Shrink liners are held in place by an interference fit between the O.D. of the liner
and the I.D. of the cylinder body. Shrink liners do not have flanges or “O” ring
grooves.
To remove a shrink liner from the compressor body, it is necessary to place the
body off center on a boring mill and cut out part of the liner. Usually the liner
will collapse due to the interference fit stresses when the liner wall becomes thin.

WARNING: DO NOT APPLY HEAT TO THE COMPRESSOR BODY


IN AN ATTEMPT TO REMOVE THE LINER.
DISTORTION AND WARPAGE OF THE COMPRESSOR
BODY CAN RESULT

Chapter 11 - Compressor Cylinder Assembly 101


Compressor Pistons

Prepare the cylinder body for a new liner by heating the body in a 350º F oven
for three hours. The cylinder body must be stood on end and a provision made to
locate the liner in the body in the same position as the original liner. The liner
must be dropped into the heated body immediately (in a matter of seconds)
before the liner can start heating due to contact and radiation of the hot cylinder
body. Cooling of the liner with dry ice can be employed to gain additional
assembly time. If cooling is used to shrink the liner, beware of frost action
which may cause the liner to stick while being installed.

Once the new liner has been installed and the cylinder body has cooled off, drill
lubricator holes in the liner by using the holes in the body as a pilot.

In cases where heating the cylinder body is impractical, a hydraulic press can be
employed to install the liner if adequate precautions are taken to prevent damage
to the mating surfaces.

Compressor Pistons
The design and material of the piston will vary considerable with the class of
compressor. Generally, cast iron pistons are used in the smaller diameter and
slower speed units while aluminum pistons may be used in the larger diameter
and higher speed units.

End clearance between piston and cylinder heads shoudl be adjusted as outlined
in start-up procedure.

Compressor Piston Rings


The piston rings should be fitted to the cylinder separately to check for proper
end gap. Too small a gap will allow the ends of the ring to butt together when
the ring is heated to operating temperature and cause excessive wear of both the
ring and the cylinder. A gap too large will allow blow-by to wipe the lubricant
from the cylinder wall.

The side clearance between the ring and the groove in the piston should also be
checked. Make sure the ring is free in the groove in all positions and that the
side clearance is not excessive. Rings and grooves should be cleaned to remove
all dirt or carbon that may have accumulate during previous operation. A ring
having too much side clearance tends to tip in the groove causing wear, while a
tight ring can stick and fail to seal.
102 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual
Compressor Piston Rods

End gap and side clearance of new pistons and new rings vary according to ring
material and diameter:

Tolerance + .001/in. Diameter, -.000 + .001/in. Dia, -.00
Minimum .010 .010
(inches)
Rings should be checked for roundness to insure a minimum wear in time. Also
check that the ring can be depressed below the diameter of the piston at all
points.

Coat the rings and ring grooves liberally with clean oil before inserting the piston
into the cylinder. Stagger the end gaps of the piston rings with respect to one
another.

Compressor Piston Rods


Piston rods are generally chrome plated high strength alloy steel. Special
materials or coatings are used when the gas is corrosive. It is essential that the
rod be free from scratches or nicks to prevent damage to the oil scraper or
packing rings.

The piston rod is screwed into the cross-head and locked by set screws and lock
nuts. be sure to loosen set screws sufficiently to prevent damage to threads when
removing piston rod.

Compressor Pressure Packing


Particular care should be taken during the initial break-in period of a compressor
piston rod pressure packing. It is recommended that the lubricator feed rate for
the packing be set at twice the normal rate and the compressor run unloaded for
15 minutes.
Chapter 11 - Compressor Cylinder Assembly 103
Compressor Valves

Periodic inspections should be established to detect packing malfunctions before


they cause major damage. It is good practice not to disturb the packing as long as
it does not leak.

CAUTION: Continued use of a leaking packing can result in


damage to the piston rod

Inspect the piston rod for surface defects such as scores or shoulders. If the rod is
not in good condition, it should be refinished or replaced.

The teflon packing rings use a teflon/metal combination. The teflon ring faces
the pressure; whereas, the metal ring backs up the teflon ring to prevent the
pressure from extruding the teflon between the rod and the packing case.

Compressor Valves
Ajax compressor valves are the plate or poppet type. Some valves have a
separate plate covering each port in the seat and are called “individual ring” plate
valves. Other valves have the individual plates webbed together to form a single
plate and are called “ported” plate valves. The plate or rings seal on the smoothly
ground surface of the seat. The valve guard house the springs which hold the
plate or rings against the seat.

Notice: Valves should be removed periodically for inspection and


cleaning.

Check the valve plates for cracks, indentations, wear and distortions. If any of
these conditions exist, replace the plate valve as well as the springs. New valve
plates are finished on both sides, so either side can be used initially. If plates are
reused they should be assembled in the valve the same way they came out. Plates
should not be “turned over” since the guard and springs remove the smooth
surface from the guard side of the valve plate.

Examine the gasket seating surfaces on the valve, as well as in the cylinder body.
These surfaces should be free from nicks, scratches, and dirt.

104 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Compressor Valves

When compressor valves are assembled, a screwdriver should be used to lift


each plate off the seat at various points around the plate to ensure each plate is
free at all points.

CAUTION: When assembling valves into the compressor cylinder, use


extreme caution making sure that the suction valves are not
installed in discharge points and vice versa.

Assemble the valve into the compressor cylinder with extreme caution making
sure suction valves are not installed in discharge points or vice versa. Trace the
flow of the gas and remember a valve opens in the same direction as the flow of
the gas. Use a screwdriver to verify the flow of gas through each valve before it
is installed in the cylinder.

To get the maximum efficiency from a compressor cylinder, the inlet and
discharge valves must be clean and tight. Valves should be inspected
periodically. Experience will tell how often they must be cleaned under the
particular operating conditions.
If valves require frequent cleaning, the cause may be one of the following:

• Excess oil, or and improper grade of oil. This will cause carbon to deposit on
the valves, and also throughout the compressor cylinder. Use only enough oil
to properly lubricate the cylinders and be sure to use the best grade oils.
• High gas temperature, which is usually the result of leaking valves as
explained in previous discussion under “compressor cylinders.”
• Dirty intake gas. This situation can usually be remedied by installing a filter
in the intake line.
The underside of cylinders have valve cages with set screws to keep the valve
seat gasket, valve assembly and valve cage from falling out of the cylinder while
the valve cap gaskets are being removed or installed.

Tighten all valve cap nuts finger tight before applying a wrench to them. Using a
torque wrench, tighten the nuts opposite each other a little at a time so the valve
cap will be brought down evenly on the valve cap gasket.

Torque values for tightening nuts are listed in section 4.

Chapter 11 - Compressor Cylinder Assembly 105


Compressor Cylinder and Pressure Packing Lubrication

Compressor Cylinder and Pressure Packing


Lubrication

CAUTION: Read these instructions thoroughly before selecting a


lubricant.

Compressor Lubrication
Wide variations in actual field operating conditions, such as the cleanliness of
the gas, the “wetness” of the gas and even the type of gas, make it almost
impossible to specify the exact quantities of lubricants required for compressor
cylinders. However, for dry, clean gases, such as those mentioned under “Oil
Specifications,” the following rules will generally suffice to provide ample
lubrication after initial run-in:

• The actual volume of lubrication used is generally expressed in pints


per day. Since the rubbing surface of a reciprocating motion is involved, an
amount of oil equivalent to 1/2 pints per day per one million square feet of
swept area plus a “pressure factor” amount should give satisfactory results.
From this rule the following formula should be used: (31.4 x Bore Dia. x
Stroke x RPM) + (333 x Disch. Press.)

• The answer to this formula gives a factor which represents the relative
amount of lubricant required per cylinder. To convert this lubrication factor
to pints/day/cylinder, move the decimal point six (6) places to the left.
Another conversion that will express the quantity in approximate drops/
minute is to move the decimal point only five (5) places to the left.

• Since cylinder lubrication is nearly always supplied by a sight feed


lubricator, which permits visual observance of pump strokes and “so many
drops per minute” of lubricant being supplied to each cylinder point or
points, it is convenient to be able to express “Pts./Day” in “Drops/Min.” A
rough rule of thumb for making this conversion is to consider
approximately 10 Drops/Min. equal to 1 Pt./Day. this is equivalent to about
14,400 drops per pint, considering the drops to be approximately 5/32 in
diameter, which is the average size put out by most gravity and vacuum
sight feed lubricators. For lubricators having the glycerine filled sight feed,

106 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Compressor Cylinder and Pressure Packing Lubrication

about 3 to 4 “drops”, or expulsions per minute up the wire is equivalent to


1 Pt./Day.

• On the initial start-up of new compressors, and especially if high


humidity and/or “wet” gas conditions are encountered, the above rates
should be nearly doubled for the first few hours of operation, and then cut
back, generally to the point of sufficient lubrication.

• Since it is always less expensive to start out over-lubricated that it is to


replace or repair scored cylinders, rings, rod packing and rods, it is never-
the-less undesirable and uneconomical to continue at such a rate.Over-
lubrication can cause excessive oil carry-over into air lines, instruments,
and even to the end products, plus resulting in over-carboning and
gumming of valves and rod packing.Therefore, after the first few hours of
lubrication, after you observe that the unit is properly lubricated, the rate
can be cut back by steps of 2 to 3 drops per minute, until the desirable oil
film, as noted in the next paragraph, is attained.

• By shutting the compressor down, and removing one or two of the


valves, inspection of the cylinder interior can be made for sufficient
lubrication. Over lubrication is the result of excessive oil, and small
puddles of oil will collect in the cylinder low spots. This indicates that a
cut-back in the lube rate is required. On the other hand, if surfaces are dry
and no oil film appears present, the rate should be increased. A generally
accepted test for sufficient lubrication is to blot the rubbing surfaces with 3
or 4 layers of tissue or cigarrete paper, immediately after removing a valve,
and following a shutdown. A yellow stain or clear oily discoloration
through the first layer and into the second layer of tissue is indication of
proper lubrication. Lube rates should be adjusted up or down according to
the indication of this test. Any evidence of gray, black, or bronze
discoloration in the oil may indicate abrasion, scuffing, or some other
malfunction which should be investigated prior to start-up.

• Certain air compressors having rod packing lubricated by carry-over


from the compressor cylinders can be checked for sufficient lubrication by
applying tissue test to the rod surface through the distance piece opening.
The lube rates, as calculated by the formula in paragraph “a”, should be
sufficient for such cylinders and packing arrangements, but the final lube
rate will generally be dependent upon maintaining a proper oil film on the
rod surface, rather than on the cylinder surface. However, since
applications and cylinder sizes can vary, both surfaces should be

Chapter 11 - Compressor Cylinder Assembly 107


Compressor Cylinder and Pressure Packing Lubrication

periodically checked for determination of which surface takes precedence


in deciding the final lube rate.

To summarize the above:


1. Careful selection of the lubricant for the specific application is very
important.

2. To ensure that the proper lube rate is being applied, examine the cylinder
and rod periodically.

3. Extended over-lubrication is as detrimental as under-lubrication. Over-


lubrication will result in excess oil and heavy carbon deposits. Under-
lubrication may result in scoring and scuffing.

Notice: TD-1165, Table 5A Chart, is convenient for estimating lube oil


rates in accordance with the formula given in paragraph (a).

Packing Lubrication Quantities


Since many lubricated applications require rod pressure packings having one or
more points of lubrication supplied by individual pumps on the same lubricator
supplying the cylinders, the same notes applying to “Cylinder Lubrication
Quantities” generally holds true. However, a safe quantity of “rod oil” for the
same dry, clean gases listed previously is 3/4 pint per day per million square feet
of swept area plus a “pressure factor” amount. This is expressed by the formula:
(47 x Rod Dia. x Stroke x RPM) + (75 x Disch. Press.)

The answer to this formula gives a factor which represents the relative amount of
lubricant required per rod. To convert this lubricant factor to pints/day/rod, move
the decimal point six (6) places to the left. Another conversion that will express
the quantity in approximate drops/minute is to move the decimal point only 5
(five) places to the left.

Drops/minute, start-up rates and final lube rates are determined in the same
manner as that outlined under “Cylinder Lubrication Quantities.”

Fire Resistant Lubricants


Quite often, in air compressors and certain process applications, synthetic or fire
resistant lubricants, such as Pydraul AC, Fyrquel, (formerly Celllube) and
Houghto-Safe, are used for cylinder and rod lubrication. Before using these
lubricants, you must properly prepare the compressor, carefully select the
lubricant, and use an appropriate quantity of lubricant.
108 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual
Compressor Cylinder and Pressure Packing Lubrication

It is important that you prepare the machine for synthetic or fire-resistant


lubricants since gaskets, seals, o-rings and paints must be compatible with the
particular lubricant being used. Check with the particular lubricant manufacturer
in order to know the necessary compatible materials.

If you use synthetic lubricant, it is recommended that the cylinders be broken-in


using a heavy mineral oil (SAE-60 or greater), and running for at least 150 hours
or until the cylinders have taken on a glazed appearance. After break-in, you can
then use a synthetic lubricant of proper grade. Since the synthetic lubricants may
vary in density from those of hydrocarbon lubricants, the required lube rate at
initial use should be increased by 1-1/2 to 2 times those rates established in
Articles 2 and 3 for cylinder and rod pressure packings. However, the same
general tissue test for sufficient surface film is usually satisfactory. Also, a
possible cut back in Labanotation rate may be realized after just a few hours of
operation.

In cases where it is absolutely impossible to break-in the compressor cylinders


on a mineral oil and synthetic lubricants must be used, please note that cylinder
scoring could possibly occur. To avoid scuffing, suction piping must be very
clean, since the film thickness of synthetic lubricant is generally less than with
the mineral oils. It is further recommended that the particular grade of synthetic
lubricant be on the higher side of the available viscosity range, and that the
highest lube rate possible be used for the first 100-150 hours. This initial lube
rate must be at least 1-1/2 to 2 times the rates established in Articles 2 and 3.

Occasionally, units must be started-up and broken-in during low ambient


temperature conditions. When this is the case, lubricator heaters are usually
necessary to insure that the lubricant is warm enough to flow properly, since
most synthetic lubricants have a higher viscosity index than do most
hydrocarbon lubricants.

If you decide to change from a hydrocarbon lubricant to a synthetic lubricant on


a machine that has operated for a period of time with hydrocarbon lubricant, it is
best to select a fire resistant fluid that is compatible with most standard materials
of construction. Ore-Lube is one such lubricant. If such a fully compatible fluid
is not going to be used, then gaskets, seals, o-rings, and paints may have to be
changed out since the lubricant may have a deteriorating effect on these items.
When making such a change, it is advisable to check cylinder internals and to
remove all carbon deposits on valves, etc., to prevent their being loosened by the

Compressor Cylinder and Pressure Packing Lubrication

Since there are a number of different synthetic lubricants on the market today, it
is best to get all the available information about the specific lubricant to be used
prior to establishing materials of construction, start-up, and normal operation
rates. For example, Flurosilicone lubricants are coming into use in compressor
applications and the lube rates for this particular synthetic material may be as
low as one (1) pint per month; therefore, it must be stressed that the lubricant
manufacturer be consulted prior to the use of any new and unfamiliar synthetic
lubricant.

Additional Comments and General Information


The terms “non-lube”, “normal-lube,” “semi-lube”, and “mini-lube” are
often applied to compressor applications. A brief description of each of these
terms is as follows:
“Non-Lube” is described as those applications where the compressor cylinders
are constructed so that no lubrication need be supplied to the cylinder and rod
pressure packing. In some “Non-Lube” cylinders, it may even be impossible for
any accidental lubrication to reach the rod pressure packing and cylinder. The
sealing and rubbing materials for piston rings and packing rings are made of a
suitable filled Teflon material that has self-lubricating characteristics, and is
specially selected to meet all the operating conditions of each specific job. The
piston is supplied with rider rings or bands of the same material so that there will
be no metal-to-metal rubbing parts in the cylinder.

“Normal-Lube” applications generally have suitable metallic piston rings and


packing rings that depend on an oil film to prevent metal-to-metal contact in the
sealing and rubbing area. The normal lube rate is that amount supplied to the
cylinders and rods in accordance with the rules of Articles 2, 3, and 4. However,
remember that what may be normal for one application may be too much or too
little for the next. It is also possible to have non-lube construction, as outlined
above, and supply normal lube to the cylinders and packing even though the
sealing and rubbing trim is Teflon. However, normal lube in this case would be
less than normal lube for the same application with metallic rings.

“Semi-Lube” is generally one-half (1/2) the normal lube rate. Sometimes semi-
lube can be accomplished by using special lubricants. Semi-lube can also be
accomplished by using suitable Teflon piston rings and packing rings, with no
rider rings on the pistons.

“Min-Lube” is defined as a controlled amount of oil at about one-quarter (1/4)


the normal rate of lubrication. For special applications, this can be accomplished
by use of the exotic Flouro-Silicone lubricants, where the lube rate may even be
as low as one pint per month with metallic sealing and rubbing materials.

110 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Compressor Cylinder and Pressure Packing Lubrication

However, construction is identical to the construction of non-lube, except that


the cylinders and packing are supplied with lubrication points. When this is done
and lubrication is applied properly, the cylinder will have long ring and packing
life, with little or no rod or cylinder wear. (of course, this is true only if the gas is
free of dirt or fine abrasives which is always damaging regardless of the type of
construction and lubrication used).

For min-lube, viscosities of the lubricant should be lower than for normal
lubricated services. The following is recommended:

• Viscosity @100 degrees F - 130 to 160 SSU.


• Viscosity @210 degrees F - 40 t0 45 SSU.
These viscosities are equivalent to SAE 5 to 10 weight oil.

A straight napthenic oil will generally be a better choice than a paraffinic oil;
however, remember that the lubricant must meet the specifics of the application.

It may be damaging to the Teflon trim to use lubricants with higher viscosities
than those listed.

One important word of caution regarding min-lube applications: too little lube
may cause a gumming and a high wear condition that is worse than not using
lubricant at all. Some min-lube applications will require as much as what is
normal lube for others, while other min-lube applications may work
satisfactorily at low lube rates.

“Accidental Lube” is oil that reaches the packing and/or cylinders in an


unknown and uncontrolled amount.

“Minimum-Lube” is the quantity of oil which reaches the packing and


cylinders in a controlled amount that has been determined to be the least amount
necessary for satisfactory life of the rubbing parts.

Ignition

This chapter provides a description of the Altronic ignition system, and describes
the proper procedure for keyless flywheel installation and ignition timing.
Altronic ignition is standard equipment on all Ajax engine-compressors. For
detailed instructions on the operation and maintenance of specific Altronic
ignition systems (i.e. Altronic I, Altronic III) refer to the vendor literature section
of your unit’s Ajax package service manual. Ignition system parts lists and
wiring diagrams specific to your unit can be found in the “Illustrated Parts Lists”
section of the Ajax package service manual.

Altronic Ignition - Description


The Altronic ignition system is a solid state capacitor discharge ignition system
consisting of an alternator with electronic component box, ignition coils, pick up
coil assembly and flywheel mounted timing magnets (see figure 12-1 below)

Ignition Coils

Electronic
Component Box
Altronic Alternator

Figure 12-1:Altronic Ignition System

Chapter 12 - Ignition System 23


Altronic Ignition - Description

The assembly of alternator and component box is installed on the control box
and is driven by a gear on the layshaft. The alternator is driven at twice engine
speed and generates power which is stored in a capacitor located in the
component box. During operation the magnets mounted on the flywheel pass a
pick up coil assembly located near the inner face of the flywheel and this induces
a voltage which is sufficient to trigger a solid state switch. This switch releases
the energy stored in the capacitor which is then transmitted through wiring to the
ignition coil located on the engine cylinder head. The ignition coil transforms the
energy to a voltage high enough to fire the spark plug (see figure 12-2 below).

Figure 12-2: Altronic Ignition System Wiring

The position of the magnets on the flywheel establishes the basic ignition timing
of the Altronic system. Since these magnets are installed in holes drilled into the
flywheel face at the factory, their positions are fixed.

The bracket on which the pick-up coils are mounted is drilled so the pick-up
coils can be installed in various positions. The pick-up coil is factory installed to
fire the spark plug at 3º (9º in non-LE applications) before the piston reaches top
dead center. This is the recommended setting for most installations.

The ignition can be advanced 2º by installing the pick-up coil one set of holes
lower in the bracket, and can be retarded 2º by raising the pick-up coil one set of
holes.

The spark produced by the solid state ignition is of very short duration and high
intensity. This permits successful fitting of plugs with wider gaps or partial
fouling than would be possible with magneto ignition, thus giving a much longer
spark plug life.

Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing

Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing


This procedure covers the installation of the keyless ringfeder locking device
fitted on flywheels on 2200 and 2800 series engines. The procedure explains the
method used to find top dead center (TDC) and proper ignition timing of the
engine.

Installation
1. Stand the flywheel up on its edge, allowing access to both sides of the
flywheel.

WARNING: WHEN STANDING THE FLYWHEEL ON ITS EDGE,


MAKE CERTAIN THAT IT IS FIRMLY SECURE.

2. Remove the rust inhibitor paper from the inside of the machined split ring
on the ringfeder. Remove ringfeder (collar, inner ring, and locking
screws) from shipping container. Verify that the supplied locking screw
threads, screw head bearing area, and the taper of the inner ring are
lubricated. If not, lubricate with molybdenum disulfide grease, such as
Molykote GN paste or equivalent.

3. Place the green ringfeder and split ring assembly on the machined
diameter of the flywheel.

4. The bolts to be used on the ringfeder are metric. A 16 mm (FWF2500-


1600) hardened flat washer is required for every bolt. Start each bolt into
the ringfeder, but DO NOT TIGHTEN.

Figure 12-3: Flywheel Cross-Section

Chapter 12 - Ignition System 25


Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing

5. Use a fine file or emery cloth to remove any burrs from the flywheel and
crankshaft, cleaning both for assembly.

6. Coat the flywheel and crankshaft sparingly with engine oil. The flywheel
to crankshaft fit is between .001 inches - .003 inches. Do not over
lubricate.

Notice: Step 6 should only be performed during initial engine assembly.


Do not lubricate on field units.

7. Carefully place the flywheel on the end of the crankshaft. Do not bump
the crank as this will create a burr that can impede installation. Push the
flywheel evenly onto the crankshaft until the face of the flywheel and the
end of the crankshaft are even.

Notice: Do not wiggle the flywheel in and out or try to turn the flywheel
onto the crankshaft. It will create heat and possibly gall the
surface of the crankshaft.

8. After the flywheel is installed, snug several of the bolts in a criss-cross


pattern to lock the flywheel to the crankshaft.

9. Remove the crosshead side access door from power cylinder one.

10. Set the timing pointer on the ignition bracket, allowing 1/8 inch
clearance from the flywheel. Adjust the pointer unit it is located in the
middle of vertical slot on the bracket.

Finding TDC and Timing Degree Marks


11. Place a 4 inch bar or equivalent between the end of the crosshead and the
pack flange. Bar the engine over clockwise until the bar stops against the
packing. Hold the flywheel in this position, keeping the crosshead
against the bar.

12. Mark the flywheel on the outer diameter (O.D.) with an ink marker at the
pointer location. This is “Temporary Mark #1.”

13. Remove the tension on the bar in the crosshead and remove.

26 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing

14. Rotate the engine clockwise until it has passed TDC far enough to re-
insert the bar.

15. Reinsert the bar and rotate the engine counter-clockwise until the bar
stops the crosshead against the packing. Hold the flywheel in this
position.

16. Mark the flywheel on the O.D. with an ink marker at the pointer location.
This is “Temporary Mark #2.”

17. Release the tension from the bar and remove. Rotate the engine to allow
access to both of the temporary marks.

18. Measure the distance between the marks. Divide the distance by two
and, using an ink marker, create a third mark equidistant between the
two marks. This will be “Temporary Mark #T.” Mark T represents the
Top Dead Center (TDC) of the crankshaft.

Notice: You can verify the position of the TDC mark by measuring the
distance between marks #1 and T, then marks #2 and T. These
distances should be equal.

19. It is now necessary to add the ignition timing mark. Verify that the
ignition is properly set. All 2200 and 2800 engines use a 48 inch
diameter flywheel. This means that:

• 3º = 11/4 inch Flywheel O.D. distance

• 9º = 33/4 inch Flywheel O.D. distance

• 11º = 4-5/8 inch Flywheel O.D. distance

20. Using one of the above distances, create a temporary mark on the
flywheel to represent either 3 degrees, 9 degrees, or 11 degrees
(depending on model) before TDC or clockwise from the T mark on the
flywheel.

21. Rotate the engine so that the timing mark is aligned with the flywheel
pointer. This sets the crankshaft in the general range of normal ignition
timing.

Chapter 12 - Ignition System 27


Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing

22. Use the nut and stud expanders to lock and hold the crankshaft in
position. These should be installed between the sheave and end cover.
See Figure 2. This picture shows the method of locking the crankshaft
used during engine assembly. Alternate methods of locking are
acceptable for field installation.

23. Check that the timing mark is still aligned with the flywheel pointer. As
a double check, verify that the scribed line located on the end of the
crankshaft is positioned below horizontal. See Figure 3.

24. Loosen the ringfeder bolts to free up the flywheel on the crankshaft.

Figure 12-4: End of Crankshaft

Figure 12-5: Timing Degree Mark Below Horizontal

28 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing

Setting Timing of the Flywheel


25. Ensure that the ignition pickup coils are in the proper holes.

• 3º = Top Holes

• 9º = Two Holes From the Bottom

• 11º = Bottom Holes

26. Rotate the flywheel on the crankshaft, without moving the crankshaft
itself, until the recessed magnet is centered over the number 1 pickup
coil. This is the “A” pickup coil or the one closest to the power end.

27. While keeping the magnet aligned, re-tighten the ringfeder to the
flywheel. Now place a permanent timing mark on the flywheel and mark
it either 3 degrees, 9 degrees, and 11 degrees accordingly.

28. Permanently mark the TDC location and then erase all of the temporary
marks made on the flywheel.

29. Remove all crankshaft locking devices and find TDC as in the above
procedures to verify that the TDC position and the ignition timing mark
have been correctly located relative to the magnet position.

30. When certain that the permanent marks are correct, tighten and torque all
flywheel bolts.

31. Match mark the flywheel coincident with the scribe line on the end of the
crankshaft using a chisel. Stamp a “1” next to this mark.

32. Stamp the engine serial numbers on the crankshaft and hub of the
flywheel.

33. Chisel mark a line on the OD of the flywheel at TDC. Metal stamp a “0”
next to this mark.

34. Chisel mark a line at either the 3 degree, 9 degree, or 11 degree


(depending on model) on the OD of the flywheel. Metal stamp the
correct timing value next to this mark.

Chapter 12 - Ignition System 29


Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing

35. It may be necessary after engine start-up to readjust the timing pointer.
The pickup coil should be centered over the cylinder #1 recessed magnet
when the pointer is pointing at the timing mark.

IGTB Governor

This chapter provides and overview of the proper operation and maintenance of
the Ajax integrated governor throttle body. Topics covered include operation of
the governor, as well as problem diagnostics.

IGTB Governor
The IGTB is a combination of a throttle and an electronic governor, therefore
“integrated governor throttle body” or IGTB. Its function is to maintain an
established RPM set point throughout the load range of the engine. NOTE: The
throttle is not a shutoff valve. There is enough clearance between the body and
the throttle plate to allow the engine to run under certain conditions at less than
rated idle RPM when the governor is not powered.

As shown below, the governor measures the RPM with a magnetic pick up and
compares it to the set point RPM supplied by the pressure transducer.

24vdc
supply
3-15 psig =
300-440 RPM

1-5vdc

Fuel Fuel
Inlet Outlet

IGTB

RPM set point is established by a pneumatic 3 to 15 psig signal to the pressure-


to-voltage transducer. See Table below for pressure signals and corresponding
voltage and RPM:

Chapter 13 - IGTB Governor 123


IGTB Governor

300 1.8 3
335 2.6 6
370 3.4 9
405 4.2 12
440 5.0 15

When the set point is changed to an increased value the rate of acceleration to
that value is 12 RPM/second.
When the set point is changed to a decreased value the rate of deceleration is 12
RPM/second.
An attained RPM set point is maintained by PID values for best response to
changes in load.

The governor has an operating voltage range of 18 to 28 Vdc with a nominal


voltage of 24V. The governor consumes 32W maximum power at a peak current
of 1.3A (24V) assuming 4 ohms stator resistance at 77ºF.

Its operating temperature range is -40ºF to 221ºF.

Protect the system with a 6A fuse in the voltage supply line.

The governor will not consume power when the engine is stopped. However, if
the engine will be out of service for an extended time, it is best to disconnect the
input power.

Note: The governor should not be used for engine shutdown. Ground the ignition
system and shut in the fuel supply to assure engine shutdown.

The governor’s tuning values (gain, reset, etc.) are optimized for conventional
compressor RPM control operations, and step load operations. The values are
fixed, and are not field adjustable. Ring gear tooth count and RPM set point vs
set point voltage can be altered by use of a downloadable file from Woodward, a
data link wiring harness (p/n A-4669), and a PC’s RS-232 port. Instructions
accompany the A-4669 data link wiring harness.

124 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Problem Diagnostics

When the engine is operating at rated load and speed, adjust the fuel supply
pressure to be 4 to 6 psig above the fuel pressure downstream of the governor.
Assure that the engine will idle without load at that pressure setting. If it does
not, reduce the supply pressure slightly so that no load, idle RPM can be
achieved.

Problem Diagnostics
Use the throttle’s fuel supply pressure gauge and fuel outlet pressure gauge to
help analyze governor performance. For example, notice the outlet pressure at
engine light off, or the outlet pressure at typical operating conditions. (Be certain
that the isolation/dampening valves are adjusted for credible readings).
When performing electrical diagnostics, use a digital voltmeter connected to the
governor’s wiring harness plug. The appropriate pin connections are listed in the
table below, and on the wiring harness assembly drawing. All voltages will be
Vdc. If your voltmeter does not have an RMS function to measure the MPU
signal level, use Vac for that signal only.

element and install on unit.

4. Drain scavenging chamber to remove sludge. Replace plug.

5. Swab engine piston rods with oil while pistons are at back dead center.

6. Remove engine cylinder heads and swab cylinder bores with oil while
piston is at back dead center. Install cylinder head and rotate crank so that
piston is about mid-stroke. Pump each cylinder lubricator pump ten or
twelve times by hand, thus flushing oil around piston and rings.

7. Using 3/8 inch plywood, cut a disc that will fit inside tapped holes for the
exhaust flange. Insert disc over exhaust opening. Draw flange capscrews
up tight, thus sealing cylinder from dust and other foreign matter.

8. Apply liberal amount of grease to all ball and socket joints used in linkage
arrangement for fuel system.

24. Protect instrument panel and any other exposed area which might be
damaged during storage.

Servicing After Extended Periods In Storage


Ajax has taken every practical precaution to prevent corrosion or rust in
bearings, piston rods, cross-heads, metallic packing, cooling system, etc., by
treating all of these parts with approved rust inhibitors. However, the following
additional precautions should be taken when placing engine-compressors in
service after long periods in storage after shipment from the factory, or other
extended storage periods.

25. Remove side and top covers and see that the crankcase is clean. Fill
crankcase with oil. See lubrication recommendations in Section 5.

26. Remove cylinder head and clean cylinder bore. Swab the cylinder with
clean lubricating oil to provide initial lubrication for piston and rings.

27. Inject a light oil in the various bearings, as well as around cross-head and
on piston rod. For a completely thorough job of reconditioning, the
metallic packing should be cleaned and oiled. Packing on lubricator
shaft should be loosened and oiled, and the governor lever shaft outer
bearings should be oiled.

28. All screws and nuts which hold gaskets should be tightened, as with
lapse of time the various gaskets may have shrunk. this applies
particularly to cylinder heads.

29. Carefully drain the lubricator before filling. After filling the lubricator,
disconnect each of the oil feed lines, operate the lubricator flushing units
by hand and see that oil flows freely through each oil line, and through
the check valve.

30. Remove governor cap and inspect governor weight pins and remove any
corrosion which has accumulated during storage period. Oil and make
sure that all working parts are operating freely.

31. Clean air filter.

32. Remove all plywood storage covers and plugs from flange openings and
threaded connections.

Preventive Maintenance

A good preventive maintenance program can add years of trouble-free


performance at low operating cost. The first requirement for this kind of
maintenance is to consistently observe good maintenance practices. When
operating Ajax engine-compressors, the following points will contribute to
maximum performance and economy.

Notice: Cleanliness is most essential in the operation and maintenance of


the unit. Clean air, clean water, free from scale-forming minerals,
and clean lubricants should be the rule - always.

When starting a cold engine, allow to idle until warm before applying load.

Before starting, it is always good practice to lubricate cylinder walls by pumping


lubricator hand flushing units with the piston at various positions.

Observe that the cooling water system is full and operating properly before
starting. Be sure that all water connections are tight.

Under no circumstances should a large amount of cold water be allowed


suddenly to enter a heated engine cylinder.

In freezing weather, all parts which contain water and which are subject to
freezing should be carefully drained and anti-freeze added. Always mix anti-
freeze and water in a clean container before adding to the cooling system.

Always be certain that there is sufficient oil in the crankcase and in the force feed
lubricator before starting.

Do not under any circumstances allow water to enter into the lubrication system.

Do not exceed the rated speed for normal operation.


Immediately investigate the cause of any unusual noise or knocks. Locate the
cause of the noise instead of experimenting with adjustments.

Chapter 15 - Preventive Maintenance 33


Suggestions for a Preventive Maintenance Program

Suggestions for a Preventive Maintenance


Program
Daily:

• Check the lubricator oil level to make sure that the oil from the reserve
tank is maintaining proper level through proper functioning of float valve
in lubricator compartment

• Check sight feeds to make sure each pump is functioning

• Check the crankcase oil level. When adding oil, bring oil up only to
the running level mark when unit is in operation. If too much is added,
drain back to the running mark. Too high a level will not only waste oil, but
will also cause ring sticking, excessive port carboning, rapid ring and
cylinder wear, loss of power and oil leakage around shafts and gaskets.

Weekly

• Check fuel gas pressure and adjust, if necessary. Once fuel pressure
has been adjusted for smooth operation, further adjustment should be
required only when appreciable load changes are made or fuel gas
composition changes.

• Check spark plug and maintain proper gap.

• When operating on capacitor discharge ignition system (Altronic),


spark plug gap should be set at.030 inches.

Notice: Because of greatly increased spark plug life gained with the
capacitor discharge ignition system, the economic advantage of
platinum point plugs with this system is questionable.

• Drain any accumulation of fluid from fuel gas volume tank.

• Check water level in radiator or cooler.

34 Ajax Engine-Compressor Operation and Maintenance Manual


Suggestions for a Preventive Maintenance Program

Monthly
Check air filter elements, clean or replace if necessary. Air filters should be
checked after heavy dust storms. Check water level in cooling system. Drain the
scavenging chamber to remove accumulation of spent lubricating oil.

Notice: Do not drain while engine is running.

Semi-annually

• STest all safety devices to make sure they are properly set and
operating.

• Inspect and change spark plugs if necessary.

• Inspect and tighten all exposed nuts and fasteners

• Inspect and clean compressor valves; replace worn or broken parts

Annually

• Replace spark plugs and cables

• Check alternator at reliable authorized service station

• Inspect governor and replace worn parts

• Clean and inspect lubricator and replace worn parts

• Clean breather gaps on the crankcase

• Thoroughly clean all dirt accumulation from the radiator and/or cooler
and check for leaks

• Inspect and replace worn cooling system fan drive belts

• Drain and flush crankcase

• Remove cylinder head. Inspect intake and exhaust ports and remove
all carbon in ports

REPLACING AND INSTALLING THE DVOA ASSEMBLY

When replacing/installing the old style DVO assembly with the new style (DVOA), tubing and fitting modifications are required. We suggest
removing the L1200NDVO/DVOR from the vessel. Relieve pressure from the vessel or use block valves before removing the L1200NDVO/DVOR.

Replacing and Installing the DVOA


Assembly For Models L1200NDVO &
NOTE: Clean, dry instrument quality gas should be used.
L1200NDVOR Use of filters will improve service life and reliability.
Tools Needed: Strap or pipe wrench; 3/4” Hex wrench; 9/16” hex
wrench; needle nose pliers; tubing cutters and benders and the
appropriate tools for the fittings.
1. Block off and bleed the instrument gas pressure supply to the Outlet
Old DVO
L1200NDVO. (opposite side)
2. Remove the tubing between the L1200NDVO and the
separator dump valve, and remove the supply gas tubing Inlet
(regulator [-R] if used).
3. Remove the L1200NDVO from the vessel (optional).
4. If the L1200N was removed from the vessel, mount it in a
suitable vise on a work bench (if possible).
5. Using the proper tools, disconnect the Inlet, Outlet and Exhaust
Valve
Exhaust fittings from the existing DVO (see fig. 1). You will Figure 1
re-connect these to the new DVOA in a later step. Bushing
NOTE: The following steps must be done with the DVO in the
upright position (on top of the L1200N).
6. Remove the L1200N cover (this will aid with the alignment
of the new DVOA Valve Bushing). The use of a strap
wrench or a pipe wrench may be needed.
7. Insert the new Valve Bushing through the new DVOA (see Figure 2
fig. 2). The markings on top of the DVOA must be facing New DVOA
up. This will be needed in step 9.
8. With a 3/4” hex wrench loosen the existing DVO, valve
stem, and static seal (see fig. 3). Once the assembly is
loosened, VERY CAREFULLY use needle nose pliers to
hold the Valve Seat Assembly in place. Remove the existing
DVO making sure the Valve Seat Assembly inside the
L1200NDVO is aligned and straight (see fig. 4). Figure 3
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the Valve Seat Assembly inside
the L1200N remains in place after removing the DVO. Valve Seat
Assembly
9. Holding the Seat Assembly up with the needle nose pliers
inside the L1200NDVO body, place the tip of the new Outlet
DVOA valve bushing through the spring and into the hole in
the center of the valve seat, and tighten the valve bushing.
The Valve Seat Assembly should be able to move freely up Inlet Figure 4
and down after the bushing has been tighten. The DVO red Exhaust
button must face away from the vessel.
10.With the new DVOA aligned over the hex on the L1200NDVO
body, tighten the Valve Bushing using the 9/16” hex wrench.
You may need to hold the DVOA while tightening the Valve
Bushing to keep it from rotating (see fig. 5). New DVOA
11.If the L1200N is in the vise, operate the float and inspect for Figure 5
smooth and proper operation of the Valve Seat Assembly.
12.Replace the L1200NDVO cover (see fig. 6).
13.Using the appropriate tools re-install the Inlet, the Outlet and L1200N
the Exhaust fittings to the new DVOA (see fig. 5). Cover
14 If the L1200N was removed from the vessel re-install it at this
time.
15.Modify existing or install new tubing to connect the Inlet, the
Outlet and Exhaust fittings. Figure 6

Introduction

Scope of Manual
This instruction manual provides installation, spring adjust-
ment, maintenance, and parts information for the Type 119
control valve.

Description
The Type 119 control valve (figure 1) is used for on-off or
throttling control of noncorrosive or mildly corrosive liquids
and gases. It is designed to meet the low-pressure liquid
and gas application requirements in many varied industries.

As loading pressure is applied to the Type 119 control valve


diaphragm, the disk holder is pulled off the orifice. As load-
ing pressure is reduced, the opposing spring force moves
the disk holder toward the closed position, resulting in W3735-1
spring-close action should a loss of supply pressure occur.

Storage
Demco butterfly valves are shipped in the partial
open position to minimize permanent deforma-
tion of the resilient seat. The disc edge is
contained within the flange faces of the valve to
prevent damage to the sealing area (Figure 4).

Caution: Valves with fail open or closed


actuators are shipped with the disc in the
fail position, and extra care should be
given to prevent damage to the disc
edges.
Valves should be stored in a clean dry area away
from extremes of heat. The resilient seat sur-
faces should be protected from sunlight and
physical abuse.

Installation
Direction -
Demco butterfly valves are bi-directional and will
operate in any position. Normally the valve is
installed with the upper stem pointing upward
(Figure 5). Elevated valves with gear operators and
chainwheels should be installed with the upper
stem pointing down (Figure 6) so the open-closed
indicator is visible from the ground and the chain
does not drag on the pipe.

End-of-Line Service -
Demco tapped lug butterfly valves are suitable for
liquid service end-of-line applications with down-
Figure 5
stream piping removed (Figure 7). Only weld neck
or socket weld flanges can be used for this service.
Since the upstream pressure is excluded between
the flange and the seat face by the exclusive
Demco flange seal, there is no effective force to
slide the seat downstream.

Caution: The valve must not be opened or


closed with the downstream piping re-
moved as the seat might be shifted break-
ing the flange seal and allowing pressure
to slide the seat downstream.

Gaskets –
Flange gaskets are not required nor recommended
for use with positive shut-off Demco butterfly
valves. An integral flange seal is molded into the
edge of the rubber seat eliminating the need for
flange gaskets.

Throttling Valves, only, utilize an o-ring stem


seal that must be assisted with flange gaskets for a Figure 6
proper seal.

Flanges -
Steel Class 150 ANSI (or MSS SP-44) weld neck, slip-
on, threaded and socket weld as well as “stub end”
type C flanges are suitable for use with 2” thru 24”
Demco butterfly valves. 30” and 36” Demco
butterfly valves fit between ANSI 125 flanges (or
MSS SP-44).
Other flange types may be applicable also, but
should be thoroughly checked to assure proper seal
makeup. Plastic flanges are subject to damage at
installation by over-tightening the bolting and
may deflect or “cup” resulting in flange leaks.

Disc to Pipe Clearance -


Before beginning installation, disc/pipe clearance
should be checked to avoid the possibility of
scraping the disc edge on the pipe ID and damag-
ing the sealing surface. Minimum pipe ID require-
ments are given in Table 1.

AIR COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER
SUGGESTED START UP PROCEDURE

Before any start up procedure is begun, a thorough inspection of the Air Cooled
Exchanger should be made.

1.) Be sure all bolted connections are properly tightened.

2.) After tube bundle and piping hydrotest, remove hydrotest connections.
Be sure tube bundle is properly drained, and if required, dried. Connect
process piping and any auxiliary connections.

3.) Inspect all process connection, as well as, vent drain, temperature and
pressure, or any other auxiliary connections to be sure they are plugged
or connected properly.

4.) Check mechanical equipment before starting process through the tube
bundle(s).

a.) Thoroughly check the plenum and fan drive area to be sure all
tools and construction materials are removed.

b.) Rotate the fan by hand and check fan tip clearance and alignment
of belts and sheaves.

c.) Check belt tension.

d.) Check all fan drive bolts to be sure they are properly tightened.
This includes bearing bolts, fan and sheave bushing bolts, set
screws, motor bolts and fan blades attachment bolts.

e.) If air operated auto-variable pitch fans are used, check for proper
pitch with the air off. Fans may go to either minimum or maximum
pitch at air failure. Check specifications for requirements. If fan
pitch is not satisfactory, set pitch per manufacturer's instructions
(see Operation and Maintenance Instructions). If fan pitch is
satisfactory, cycle fan through it's range, using plant air and an air
regulator.

Page 1
f.) If air operated louvers are provided, it is advisable to disconnect
the air motor linkage and cycle the louvers by hand to assure
there is no binding or obstruction of the louvers blades. If binding
occurs, check to be sure louver frames are square. Attaching
bolts may have to be loosened and frames shifted to ease binding.
If louvers operate smoothly, reconnect air motor. Cycle the air
motor, using plant air and an air regulator.

g.) If manually adjusted pitch fans are provided, check fan pitch and
re-pitch per manufacturer's instructions if required.

h.) If manual operated louvers are provided, check for binding of the
blades, as in instruction (f). Operate louvers to be sure there is no
linkage obstruction or binding.

i.) Remove condensate drain plugs, if provided, in electric motors


and other electrical components to drain any condensation that
might have occurred during storage. If space heaters are
furnished in electric motors, louver actuators, controls, etc.,
activate the space heaters and allow approximately 24 hours
before starting equipment.

j.) After all the applicable steps previously stated are completed, the
mechanical equipment may be cycled.

k.) Be sure all personnel and equipment are away from the fan and
fan drive area. For safety reasons, equipment guards should be
installed. Activate the drive motor and let it reach speed. Check
for vibration and excessive noise. If vibration or excessive noise
occurs, immediately shut motor down, and check for loose
connections or insufficient clearance between moving parts. If the
system is running smoothly, replace any guards removed and
move to the next drive and repeat above steps.

5.) Start the process through the tube bundle(s). Open the inlet valves
slowly and let the process "Warm" the bundles slowly. This will allow the
components of the tube bundle to expand at the same rate and lessen the
thermal shock.

OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR ACE COOLERS

IMPORTANT

Before start up, check set screws and bolts in the fan assembly and set screws in
locking collars of all bearings and sheaves. These items should be checked
again several days after start up.

FAN & DRIVE

Although the fan and drive are inspected before shipment, clearance between
the fan blades and the fan ring and guard, and alignment of the fan shaft should
be checked to assure that rough handling during shipment has not loosened
bearing mounting bolts or caused misalignment.

V-belt drives should be adjusted until tight enough to prevent excessive belt
slippage. The belt is generally tight enough when it can be twisted one-quarter of
a turn with the thumb and fore-finger.

LUBRICATION

Bearings should be greased in accordance with normal maintenance practice.


Over-lubrication is the most common cause of bearing failure. In general, about
one cubic inch of grease in each bearing every 2 to 3 months is adequate. The
operating temperature of the bearing may indicate how much lubrication is
required.

Normal temperature may range from “cool to warm to touch” up to a point “too
hot to touch for more than a few seconds” depending on bearing size and speed,
and surrounding conditions. Unusually high temperature accompanied by
excessive leakage of grease indicates too much grease. High temperature with
no grease showing at the seals, particularly if the bearing seems noisy, usually
indicates too little grease. Normal temperature and slight showing of grease at
the seals indicates proper lubrication.

TUBE CLEANING

Operating conditions sometimes cause an accumulation of dirt on the outside fin


surface. This can be removed by directing compressed air, or a greaseless
solvent followed by a water spray through the fins in a direction opposite the
normal air flow. The inside of the tubes will require periodic inspection and
cleaning as necessary. Removal of access plugs allows visual inspection, and if
necessary, the use of mechanical tube cleaners.

PLUG LEAKS

Should tapered plugs develop leaks, additional tightening is normally all that is
required. Thread dope may be used if tightening alone is not sufficient. If
shoulder type plugs develop leaks, the gaskets should be replaced. Tapered
plugs that are removed for the tube inspection or cleaning should be replaced in
the same hole.

TUBE LEAKS

Tube leaks can be of two types: (1) leaks in the tubewall itself (usually corrosion)
and (2) leaks in the tube to tubesheet joint. In the first case, it is usually most
practical to plug both ends of the tube with the resulting loss in heat transfer
surface. When so many tubes have been plugged that performance is affected,
retubing will be necessary. If leaks develop in the tube to tubesheet joints, re-
rolling of the tube will be required. Care must be used in selection of the proper
tube expander for the size and BWG of the tube being used. As with all rolled
tube joints, over-rolling must be avoided.

GENERAL

If it is ever necessary to contact our plant for service or replacement parts, it is


essential that our serial number or other identifying data be obtained from the
metal nameplate attached to the cooler. This is the only way to positively identify
the correct parts that may be required.

WARNING: The fan is designed to consume the


horsepower stated on the Fan Specification Sheet. The
engine drive typically produces far more power than the fan
can absorb. Too great an increase in blade angle can cause
serious blade overload which will stall the blades. In this
condition, the fan will actually deliver less air and blade life
may be shortened. Blade load considerations are discussed
in Section 4.0 Operation in this manual.

in Moore's General Catalog.
Ideally, air should approach a fan in an axial direc-
tion and at a uniform velocity over the area of the fan. Air
approaching a fan at an angle tends to increase the rela-
tive velocity of the blades to the air on one side of the fan
and decrease the relative velocity on the other side. This
means that the fan blade during one-half of its revolution
is picking up a heavier air load due to the higher relative
velocity and, through the other half of its revolution, a
lower air load as it goes "down wind". The net result is a
repetitive loading and unloading of the blades at each
revolution of the fan. This condition can be quite serious
if the velocities are high and the angle of approach devi-
ates considerably from axial.

4.5.2 WIND
With a vertically mounted fan blowing outward
into the wind and surrounded by a short fan ring or stack,
high winds may cause some concern. The farther the ring
extends beyond the fan, the less effect would be expected
from wind. It is a fact, however, that wind across the face
of the ring will affect the direction of air flow well down
into the ring. In the case of a fan installed near the outlet hour) with a horizontal component of wind velocity (VW)
of the ring, the direction from axial of the fan discharge of 20 miles per hour. Note that the velocity (VR) of the fan
may be increased by as much as 45O under high wind blade relative to the air varies by a factor of 1.43. The
conditions. blade load varies as the square of this velocity, or 2.05.

THE EFFECT OF AIR LOAD ON HUB AND DRIVE In conventional fans with rigidly attached blades,
Moore fan blades are attached to the hub by a pivot. the bending moment at the shaft due to the air load is
As the fan rotates, centrifugal force causes the blades to equal to the load (FA) multiplied by the distance from the
rise (as do the blades of a helicopter). The air load (FA) is fan centerline to the point of application of the force on the

REPLACING AND INSTALLING THE DVOA ASSEMBLY

When replacing/installing the old style DVO assembly with the new style (DVOA), tubing and fitting modifications are required. We suggest
removing the L1200NDVO/DVOR from the vessel. Relieve pressure from the vessel or use block valves before removing the L1200NDVO/DVOR.

Replacing and Installing the DVOA


Assembly For Models L1200NDVO &
NOTE: Clean, dry instrument quality gas should be used.
L1200NDVOR Use of filters will improve service life and reliability.
Tools Needed: Strap or pipe wrench; 3/4” Hex wrench; 9/16” hex
wrench; needle nose pliers; tubing cutters and benders and the
appropriate tools for the fittings.
1. Block off and bleed the instrument gas pressure supply to the Outlet

2. Remove the tubing between the L1200NDVO and the
separator dump valve, and remove the supply gas tubing Inlet
(regulator [-R] if used).
3. Remove the L1200NDVO from the vessel (optional).
4. If the L1200N was removed from the vessel, mount it in a
suitable vise on a work bench (if possible).
5. Using the proper tools, disconnect the Inlet, Outlet and Exhaust
Valve
Exhaust fittings from the existing DVO (see fig. 1). You will Figure 1
re-connect these to the new DVOA in a later step. Bushing
NOTE: The following steps must be done with the DVO in the
upright position (on top of the L1200N).
6. Remove the L1200N cover (this will aid with the alignment
of the new DVOA Valve Bushing). The use of a strap
wrench or a pipe wrench may be needed.
7. Insert the new Valve Bushing through the new DVOA (see Figure 2
fig. 2). The markings on top of the DVOA must be facing New DVOA
up. This will be needed in step 9.
8. With a 3/4” hex wrench loosen the existing DVO, valve
stem, and static seal (see fig. 3). Once the assembly is
loosened, VERY CAREFULLY use needle nose pliers to
hold the Valve Seat Assembly in place. Remove the existing
DVO making sure the Valve Seat Assembly inside the
L1200NDVO is aligned and straight (see fig. 4). Figure 3
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the Valve Seat Assembly inside
the L1200N remains in place after removing the DVO. Valve Seat

9. Holding the Seat Assembly up with the needle nose pliers
inside the L1200NDVO body, place the tip of the new Outlet
DVOA valve bushing through the spring and into the hole in
the center of the valve seat, and tighten the valve bushing.
The Valve Seat Assembly should be able to move freely up Inlet Figure 4
and down after the bushing has been tighten. The DVO red Exhaust
button must face away from the vessel.
10.With the new DVOA aligned over the hex on the L1200NDVO
body, tighten the Valve Bushing using the 9/16” hex wrench.
You may need to hold the DVOA while tightening the Valve
Bushing to keep it from rotating (see fig. 5). New DVOA
11.If the L1200N is in the vise, operate the float and inspect for Figure 5
smooth and proper operation of the Valve Seat Assembly.
12.Replace the L1200NDVO cover (see fig. 6).
13.Using the appropriate tools re-install the Inlet, the Outlet and L1200N
the Exhaust fittings to the new DVOA (see fig. 5). Cover
14 If the L1200N was removed from the vessel re-install it at this
time.
15.Modify existing or install new tubing to connect the Inlet, the
Outlet and Exhaust fittings. Figure 6

REPLACING AND INSTALLING THE DVOA ASSEMBLY

When replacing/installing the old style DVO assembly with the new style (DVOA), tubing and fitting modifications are required. We suggest
removing the L1200NDVO/DVOR from the vessel. Relieve pressure from the vessel or use block valves before removing the L1200NDVO/DVOR.

Replacing and Installing the DVOA


Assembly For Models L1200NDVO &
NOTE: Clean, dry instrument quality gas should be used.
L1200NDVOR Use of filters will improve service life and reliability.
Tools Needed: Strap or pipe wrench; 3/4” Hex wrench; 9/16” hex
wrench; needle nose pliers; tubing cutters and benders and the
appropriate tools for the fittings.
1. Block off and bleed the instrument gas pressure supply to the Outlet
Old DVO
L1200NDVO. (opposite side)
2. Remove the tubing between the L1200NDVO and the
separator dump valve, and remove the supply gas tubing Inlet
(regulator [-R] if used).
3. Remove the L1200NDVO from the vessel (optional).
4. If the L1200N was removed from the vessel, mount it in a
suitable vise on a work bench (if possible).
5. Using the proper tools, disconnect the Inlet, Outlet and Exhaust
Valve
Exhaust fittings from the existing DVO (see fig. 1). You will Figure 1
re-connect these to the new DVOA in a later step. Bushing
NOTE: The following steps must be done with the DVO in the
upright position (on top of the L1200N).
6. Remove the L1200N cover (this will aid with the alignment
of the new DVOA Valve Bushing). The use of a strap
wrench or a pipe wrench may be needed.
7. Insert the new Valve Bushing through the new DVOA (see Figure 2
fig. 2). The markings on top of the DVOA must be facing New DVOA
up. This will be needed in step 9.
8. With a 3/4” hex wrench loosen the existing DVO, valve
stem, and static seal (see fig. 3). Once the assembly is
loosened, VERY CAREFULLY use needle nose pliers to
hold the Valve Seat Assembly in place. Remove the existing
DVO making sure the Valve Seat Assembly inside the
L1200NDVO is aligned and straight (see fig. 4). Figure 3
CAUTION: MAKE SURE the Valve Seat Assembly inside
the L1200N remains in place after removing the DVO. Valve Seat

9. Holding the Seat Assembly up with the needle nose pliers
inside the L1200NDVO body, place the tip of the new Outlet
DVOA valve bushing through the spring and into the hole in
the center of the valve seat, and tighten the valve bushing.
The Valve Seat Assembly should be able to move freely up Inlet Figure 4
and down after the bushing has been tighten. The DVO red Exhaust
button must face away from the vessel.
10.With the new DVOA aligned over the hex on the L1200NDVO
body, tighten the Valve Bushing using the 9/16” hex wrench.
You may need to hold the DVOA while tightening the Valve
Bushing to keep it from rotating (see fig. 5). New DVOA
11.If the L1200N is in the vise, operate the float and inspect for Figure 5
smooth and proper operation of the Valve Seat Assembly.
12.Replace the L1200NDVO cover (see fig. 6).
13.Using the appropriate tools re-install the Inlet, the Outlet and L1200N
the Exhaust fittings to the new DVOA (see fig. 5). Cover
14 If the L1200N was removed from the vessel re-install it at this
time.
15.Modify existing or install new tubing to connect the Inlet, the
Outlet and Exhaust fittings. Figure 6

Description

The TTD Annunciator System


The TTD is a solid-state fault annunciator and shutdown control system designed to protect
engines, compressors and their associated equipment. The TTD model will accept 48 sensor
inputs from normally open and/or normally closed sensors. Each of the 48 inputs can be config-
ured for “Shutdown” or “Alarm Only”. Any input can be locked out by one of the two Start-Run
timers, or configured as Class C, ESD or Ignore. The annunciator provides for both closing of a
fuel valve and grounding of an ignition after a time delay.
Incorporated in the TTD non-volatile memory:
• Run Hours/Elapsed Time Meter
• Last 10 Shutdowns with associated run hours

• Last 4 Alarms with associated run hours

• Selectable RS232/RS485 serial communications

• Selectable baud rates running hours

• Running hours

Optional Features:
• Pre/Post lube timed functionality
• Tachometer w/ Overspeed and Underspeed setpoints

• No-Flow Switch Detection

The TTD Annunciator System Has Two Separate Components:


1. Display Head (TTD-H)
The Display Head displays operational and configuration data. Configuration parameters are
entered via keypad or download from MConfig® software. The operator interface will accept
digital inputs directly on the back of the unit. Power is provided to the Display Head via a
direct Phoenix connector or a cable connecting to a remote mounted power supply. The dis-
play head contains the microprocessor, the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), the membrane keys
for configuring the sensors inputs and the sensor input terminal blocks.
The TTD liquid crystal display annunciates any fault from the sensor inputs, displays engine
speed, and elapsed time. Other features for the TTD model are: built-in Test Mode to test the
sensor circuits without shutting down, Pre-lubrication and Post-lubrication timers, and on-
board backup battery to retain the fault display after shutdown on ignition powered units.

2. Power and Control Inputs/Outputs (PSU-2)


The Power Input and Control Output Terminals are mounted on the Plug-in Power Supply
(PSU-2) or on the DIN Rail Power Supply (PSU-D2). Both of the Power Supplies also include
an RS485/RS232 serial communication port (Modbus RTU slave) to interface with micro-con-
trollers, PC’S, PLC’s, and/or communication and control systems. The serial communication
provides read and write register capability and selectable Baud rate up to 38,400 bps.
All Power Supply models are reverse polarity protected and can be powered by 10-32vdc or
90-400vdc negative ground CD ignition. An optional Power Supply (PSU-D2*) provides for
120vac power/positive ground CD ignition power. Use the PSU-1* Power Supply for Division
1 applications. The TTD is fully operable with the internal battery; the external DC power
enables communications support (Modbus slave) and turns on the display backlight.

(E) Remote Reset and Lockout is enabled by this setup and will override any
(E) template setting. When the Remote Reset feature is enabled, a closed contact
on point 45 resets the TTD in the same manner as when using the [RESET] key.
The closed contacts to operate the Remote Reset feature should be kept
closed for no longer than approximately 1 second to cause a Remote Reset.
The Remote Lockout inhibits the Class B1 and Class B2 Lockout timers. These
Lockouts are ignored when Input 46 is an open contact. A closed contact at

No-Flow Switch Transition Time
Use SETUP 4b thru 4E to set No-Flow switch transition times.
Digital input channels 41 to 44 can be configured for detecting a transition of
the switches on a divider block of a compressor system. The channels are
(H) scanned to determined if a transition has occured in an acceptable time. The
time range settings are from 0 to 59 seconds. (The default setting is zero).
(G) SETUP 4b is the No-flow screen for CH41
(H) SETUP 4C is the No-flow screen for CH42
(I) SETUP 4d is the No-flow screen for CH43
(J) SETUP 4E is the No-flow screen for CH44
(I)
Setting the value to 0 (zero) on any channel will disable the No-flow function
for that channel and allows SENSOR MODE (SETUP 2) or SENSOR TYPE
(SETUP 3) to determine the Sensor channel functionality.
A non-zero value enables No-flow function for that channel and defines the
timeout for the channel. Enabling No-flow function overwrites the channel
SENSOR TYPE or SENSOR MODE configuration (reserves the channel only
(J)
for No-flow use).
The Test Mode will be ignored if the No-flow is enabled for the channel.
Because these inputs are always in transition, the inputs are always tested for
open and close.

NOTE:
Use SETUP 1 to configure (TMR7) Timer 7 delay before No-Flow shutdown.

Electrical Area Classifications

These areas are defined by the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). (European areas
have a different system for classification, which is now being addressed by the NEC.)
The basic statements in the NEC say that electrical equipment should not be located in
hazardous areas, if possible. But, if it is not practical to do so, then there are many
requirements for electrical equipment in hazardous areas. North American Class I
defines explosive mixtures of gases. Class II is for combustible dusts, such as coal, and
grain.

Class I, Division 1, Groups C and D

This area is defined by the statement that it is expected that there is an explosive mixture
of gas and air present. For these areas, only explosion-proof enclosures, air purged
enclosures, or intrinsically safe circuits are allowed. All electrical design has to allow for
conditions to remain safe even in the failure mode of the components. Intrinsically safe
circuits require that even in the failure mode, there shall not be enough electrical energy
capable of igniting the explosive mixture. Purge systems for this have very strict
requirements as defined in NFPA 496. This area is similar to European Zone 1, IIa.
European Zone 1 says there is an intermittent hazard, or that a fairly high percentage of
the time there will be an explosive mixture of gas and air. European Zone 0 says that
there is definitely an explosive mixture present. This causes the most expensive
packaging of electrical components.

Class I, Division 2, Groups C and D

This area is defined by the statement that it is abnormal for an explosive mixture of gas
and air to be present. Under this condition, electrical components and circuits are
allowed as long as they, in normal operation, have no arcing or sparking contacts, and
create no thermal energy that could ignite the gas and air mixture, if it is present. This is
similar to European Zone 2. The term for circuits that can pass through mechanical
switch contacts and not produce sparks is “non-incendive”. Non-incendive circuitry does
not have to be non-incendive in the failure mode. The reasoning is that an abnormal
electrical condition, and an abnormal air gas mixture, or explosive mixture are very
unlikely to co-exist.

Non-Hazardous / General Purpose Areas

In these areas, standard electrical practices are allowed. This is the least expensive of the
areas, as most electrical components are manufactured for these requirements. As was
previously stated, the code requires that if the equipment can be mounted outside the
hazardous area, it should be.

3
Enclosure Ratings

Enclosures for electrical and electronic components have industry standard ratings. The
most common in the United States is NEMA. NEMA is the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association. They use Type numbers from 1 to 13. Most common
compressor control panels are NEMA Type 3, which is suitable for outdoor use. NEMA
Type 3R is the same enclosure, except provisions have been made for a rain lip, and there
is a drain in the enclosure. One definition of NEMA Type 4 is “hose-proof”. NEMA
Type 4 rated enclosures have more fasteners on the doors, and better gaskets, and are not
vented, unless the vent is hose-proof. The best example of a hose-proof requirement is a
power washer. NEMA Type 4X is the same rating with the additional requirement of
being corrosion-resistant. This is done with stainless steel, special paint coatings, non-
metal composite materials like fiberglass, and galvanizing. NEMA Types 1, 2, 12, and
13 are ratings for indoor enclosures, and have varying degrees of protection against dust,
dripping non-corrosive liquids, and even sprayed non-corrosive liquids. NEMA Type 6
is very specialized and is for enclosures that may be submerged under water. NEMA
Type 7 is a rating for an explosion-proof enclosures for Class I areas, and NEMA Type 9
is a rating for explosion-proof enclosures for Class II areas. In addition to the NEMA
Type ratings, there are IEC ratings. These are called IP followed by a 2 digit number. IP
stands for Ingress Protection. IP64 is approximately NEMA Type 3, and IP66 is
approximately NEMA TYPE 4X. The IP ratings have entirely different definitions than
NEMA Types. Good references for enclosure type ratings can be found in Hoffman’s
catalog (www.hoffmanonline.com) and Killark’s catalog
(www.epmi.com/Killarkinfo.htm). Charts made by MTL (www.mtlnh.com/prodis.htm),
an intrinsic barrier supplier have all of this information in a nice form.

General Wiring Practices And Precautions

There are several p ractices and precautions you can take on initial in stallation to reduce
chances of problem s or failures over tim e. Many of these steps m ay take a few extra
minutes to do at th e time of installation; however, they wi ll save m any headaches in the
future.

Insure the following separation of wiring by using multiple runs of conduit. The levels of
separation are listed from noisiest to the weakest victim. Some of this separation is
required by codes and recommended practices. In any case, this is explained with the
idea that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

4
1. Ignition wiring, the "shutdown lead", and CD ignition fuel valve wiring

2. AC wiring

3. DC power wiring (magnetic pick-up can be run with this, but it must be in
shielded cable).

4. Analog signals, like 4-20 milliamp and sender signals. (magnetic pick-up wiring
can be run with this, but it must be in shielded cable).

5. Thermocouple wiring (must use shielded thermocouple grade extension wire for
the proper Type (typically J or K).

6. Sensor wires that are either “non-incendive” for Class I, Division 2, or


“intrinsically safe” for Class I, Division 1.

We strongly recommend that you follow these precautionary steps.

1. Suppression Diodes

Place suppression diodes across all inductive loads (industry part number 1N4005,
available at any Radio Shack). These loads typically include pilot relays, solenoid valves,
starter solenoids, etc. This helps increase contact life and eliminate a source of electrical
interference. The diode should be installed as close as practical to the load. The banded
end of the diode goes to the positive connection.

2. Wire power leads directly to battery posts

When connecting your power supply to your control panel, wire directly to the
battery posts. This helps minimize noise generated from battery chargers and alternators.
It also minimizes voltage drops that can be caused by other components in the system.

3. Wire standby battery charger directly to battery

Standby chargers must be wired directly to the battery. Failing to do this may
result in erratic operation due to electronic "noise" coupled into the microprocessor.

4. Pilot excessive loads

Many outputs on the Controllers are rated for low current, control type loads. Do
not run high current loads directly to the unit. Piloted relays are more easily replaced if
an output is damaged because of a short in the wiring.

5
5. Use stranded wire for hookup

Solid wire transmits vibration and is more likely to crystallize and break when it is
subjected to movement.

6. Separate AC and DC wiring

Never run AC and DC carrying wiring together. AC signals may get "coupled"
into the control circuits leading to erratic operation.

7. Special precautions for spark ignition engines

Magnetos and ignition coils produce high voltage and cause high frequency
interference. Some Controllers are designed to filter out much of this interference;
however, precautions must be taken to protect the unit. Resistor spark plugs and spark
plug wires reduce electrical interference and may also be required in especially "noisy"
environments.

8. Use shielded cable on magnetic pickup

Shielded cable is recommended for connecting the magnetic pickup to a


controller. This helps prevent signal loss and the possible coupling of electrical
interference into the relatively sensitive speed sensing circuit. The shield should only be
grounded on one end. Always use shielded wire for magnetic pick-up, and analog wiring.
Ground the drain wire (shield) at the panel, only.

Grounding

The ideal situation for grounding is to follow the National Electrical Code. It requires all
equipment to be grounded to an “earth” ground. An Earth ground is a ground rod driven
into the soil to a depth where the soil is moist throughout the earth. In some geographic
locations, this is not possible. The NEC requires earth ground bonding for AC powered
equipment. It is not an absolute requirement for DC powered equipment, but can solve
mysterious problems. Individual devices ideally will be individually tied to Earth in the
ideal world. In some plants, a DC power supply with the output grounded to earth, or
chassis grounding is not allowed. In these situations, more expensive equipment is
usually required. This can consist of isolating modules. Isolating modules are available
for 4-20 mA signals, DC power, AC power, and some other signals. Sometimes the
isolation is done in the device, or instrument. Grounding problems can be seen by
measuring DC voltages from ground point to ground point. If there are significant
voltages seen, that can be a measure of poor grounding, and current loops in the

6
grounding system. These voltages may appear different when the equipment is running
versus not running.

Basic Electricity

When confronted with electrical terms, depending on your background, it may be useful
to think of them in terms you may be more familiar with. Volts can be thought of as
pressure, current (Amps) can be thought of as flow, and Resistance can be thought of as a
restriction, or a choke. Capacitance can be thought of as a storage tank in some
situations. A model of a simple electrical circuit can be done with fluidic components.
Old style compressor analog studies, done to understand the flow through a compressor
and associated pulsations, were done using a large board where electrical components
were placed.

To measure current, I, a meter must be placed between elements of the circuit. Voltage
can be measured without interrupting the circuit. If any 2 of the parameters can be
measured, or read, then the third parameter can easily be calculated. Resistance can only
be measured when the circuit is not powered. Actually, unless the part being measured is
only connected to one resistor, the resistance of a single component cannot be effectively
measured. The overall resistance of a device, though, can be measured, unless there are
active components, like integrated circuits (chips).

Ohms Law: V = I x R Volts = amps (I) times Resistance


R = V / I Resistance = Volts divided by amps (I)
I = V / R amps (I) = Volts divided by Resistance

(V is Volts, I is current in Amps, and R is Resistance in Ohms)

example: How much voltage results from a 20 milliamp signal with 250 ohm resistance?
.020 (milliamps) x 250 (ohms) = 5 volts

How much current results from a 5 volt signal with 250 ohms resistance?
5 / 250 = .020 (or 20 milliamps)

Watts (or Power) = I x V, or current times voltage,


or I2 x R (i.e., I times I times R),
or V2 / R (i.e., V times V divided by R)

example: How much Power (wattage) results from a 5 volt signal with 250 ohm resistance?
5 x 5 = 25, 25 / 250 = 0.1 watts

7
Using a Multimeter
In trouble shooting it is absolutely necessary to be able to use a Multi-meter, or also
known as a Volt – Ohm Meter. Most all devices have readily available specifications.
The first step in troubleshooting is to measure the parameters the device is seeing. Is
there enough voltage? Is it within the range of the specifications for the device? Voltage
is measured as being AC, or DC. Ignition voltage from a Capacitive Discharge Ignition
(CD, sometimes referred to as a mag, although it is a CD ignition, not a magneto) can be
measured using the DC setting on the meter. The meter will give an average reading. To
truly see the ignition primary voltage, an oscilloscope, or Scopemeter needs to be used.
To measure a speed signal, frequency must be measured, whether it be from a magnetic
pick-up, or a CD ignition. In the case of a magnetic pick-up, AC Voltage must be
measured.
Using a Scopemeter
A very handy, and not so expensive instrument, anymore, is a Scopemeter. This is a
portable oscilloscope powered by a battery pack. Noisy signals can be measured, the
exact waveform of a CD ignition can be seen, and the waveform of a magnetic pick-up
can be seen. Sometimes, a very badly worn flywheel ring gear can be seen with an
oscilloscope. Any signal that varies with time in fractions of seconds, milliseconds
( 1 x 10–3, or 0.001 seconds), or microseconds (1 x 10 -6, or 0.000001 seconds) can only
be truly seen using an oscilloscope. Things that appear mysterious with a multi-meter, or
where the multi-meter is jumping a lot can be seen with the ‘scope.
Troubleshooting a 4-20 milliAmp Signal
A 4-20 milliAmp signal must be measured using a meter to measure milliamps. (One
milliAmp is 0.001 Amp.) It can also be helpful to have an instrument that can produce a
4-20 milliAmp signal. Sometimes, knowing the sampling resistor value in a device
reading a 4-20 mA signal, only voltage can be measured to determine the value of the
signal. Some devices turn the 4-20 mA signal into a 1-5 VDC voltage signal using a 250
Ohms resistor. Whatever the case, once the value is known, the parameter can be
calculated from the range of the instrument. Take for instance a 100 psi pressure
transmitter. It puts out 4 mA at 0 pressure, and 20 mA at 100 psi. At 50 psi, the reading
should be 12 mA. If that is a 1-5 VDC signal, then 0 psi gives 1 VDC, 100 psi gives 5
VDC, and 50 psi gives 3.5 VDC. If the percent of signal can be measured, then the
percent of reading can be calculated. Take for instance a signal of 8.7 mA. To get the
percent, subtract the minimum reading, 4 mA, and get 4.7 mA. Then divide that by the
difference between the bottom reading of 4 mA, and the top reading, 20 MA, which is 16
mA. 4.7 divided by 16 equals 0.29375, or 29.375 percent. If that were a 500 psi pressure
transmitter, 500 times 0.29375 gives 146.875 psi. The same goes for a voltage signal.

8
Let’s take 2.95 VDC. Subtract 1 VDC, divide by 4 VDC, and get 0.4875. Multiply times
the 500 psi and get 243.75 psi.

Troubleshooting a Thermocouple Signal


Thermocouples give milliVolt (0.001 of a volt) signals proportional to temperature.
These are very non-linear, and a table must be used to determine the temperature from a
milliVolt reading. One thing to watch for is electrical noise. Thermocouple calibrators
are also available to simulate a thermocouple reading to calibrate, or check an instrument.

Troubleshooting Communications
This can require some fairly sophisticated instrumentation. There are devices available
that will plug into RS-232 standard 25 pin or 9 pin connectors to show the status of the
various signals with LED’s. Sometimes, the problem lies in the types of devices
connected. Some devices are DCE (Data Communications Equipment), and other
devices are DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). The simplest example is a PC. It is a
DTE. A modem is a DCE. When connecting 2 computers (PC’s) together, a null modem
adapter must be used. This null modem adapter crosses pins 2 and 3, used for TX
(Transmit) and Rx (receive). RS-485 signals can be analyzed using a ‘scope. It is a
common misconception that RS-485 only requires 2 wire twisted, shielded cable. There
is special cable that should be used for optimum performance. An example of this cable
is Belden 9841. The conductors are blue and white. It has a characteristic impedance of
120 Ohms. RS-485 networks require 120 Ohms terminating resistors on the first and last
device. This is an absolute requirement when the length of cable is very long. Another
fact of life with RS-485 is the relationship between branch length and node length. Node
length is between the devices. Branch length is the length between a device and where
the connection, or splice is made to other devices. The EIA standard suggest the Branch
length be infinitely small compared to the node length.

A PC with a protocol analyzer can be very useful. The characters passed between
devices can be seen. It is easy to see if there are any collisions of data. Protocol
simulating software, or protocol analyzing software can simulate a device. If 2 devices
are supposed to communicate between each other, it is helpful to be able to simulate
either device to determine where the problem is. Black Box Co. has some useful
products (www.blackbox.com).

Glossary of Terms
Alarm - A condition that warns of impending equipment damage. Typically, the term
alarm is used in the context of “Alarm Before Shutdown”. With that context, an
alarm is an event that occurs before a shutdown.
Accuracy - The measure of a reading relative to a perfect reading with no error.
Analog - a variable signal directly proportional to a physical parameter, or desired

9
physical parameter, not OFF and ON. Linearly proportional to voltage, current,
or resistance, which is proportional to the physical parameters, such as pressure,
temperature, flow, level, or vibration.

BCD - Binary Coded Decimal This code was originally used to drive 7 segment LCD
displays. Four bits are needed to make one decimal position. It is used in the
gas compressor industry for an annunciator to give the number of the shutdown
to another device, primarily for remote communication of the cause of shutdown.
Bimetal - A temperature measuring element that is made of two different metals that
are bonded together. The two metals have different temperature coefficients of
expansion, so that when the bimetal element is exposed to temperature, the
bimetal element bends. The bend of the bimetal element is used to move a
pointer on an indicating gage, and / or operate a switch.
Bourdon Tube - This is a flat oval cross section piece of tubing. It is typically bent
around in a semi-circle, or a helically wound coil. When pressure is applied to
the inside of the Bourdon tube, it has a tendency to try to straighten out. This
movement is used to drive a pointer in a gage, and / or operate a switch.
Bourdon is the last name of the founder of the effect.
Bulb and Capillary - Some temperature measurement systems use a “bulb and
capillary” type system. The “bulb” is the temperature sensor, and is filled with a
chemical that produces pressure with an increase of temperature. The pressure
is transmitted to the gage or switch by the capillary.
Diaphragm - This is another sensing element for pressure. When pressure is applied,
the diaphragm flexes, and that movement is transmitted to a pointer in a gage
and / or operates a switch.
Digital or Discrete - a signal that is on or off. It can say that a pressure, temperature,
speed, condition, or level is OK, or NOT OK by a contact closure remaining
closed for normal conditions, or remaining open for normal conditions. It is also
a status input for the position of valves, whether they are fully open or closed, or
somewhere in the middle.
Dry Contacts - This is a set of contacts in a switch that have no voltage applied to them.
This is sometimes referred to as “potential free” contacts. This is also as opposed
to mercury wetted contacts, which have been used historically for high voltage
contacts, but are not often seen these days.
DPDT - Double Pole Double Throw - A switch which has two poles, actually two
switches mechanically connected together, that each have three connections,
common, normally open, and normally closed.
End Device - A device mounted out on the equipment to provide a condition signal.
Fail-safe - A normally closed shutdown system. It is called this because if one wire is
broken in the two wire system, then a shutdown will occur.

10
Fault - A condition where some parameter, pressure, temperature, level, or vibration is
out of normal operating conditions.

Fault Sensitive - The same as Fail-safe, but more often used because of the reality of
the shutdown systems. The reality is that the shutdown system may not always
be able to prevent damage.
Hardware Communications Standard - The definition of RS-232, RS485, RS422, Data
Highway, Ethernet, and others.
Inputs - Information for electronics to make a decision upon, Discrete inputs are only
OFF, or ON signals. Analog inputs provide information that is variable across a
range of values.
Modbus ASCII or RTU - A commonly available, and widely used communications
protocol. There are two types, ASCII and RTU.
Motor - An electric motor. We typically refer to electric motor drivers as motors, and to
internal combustion drivers as engines. This is not a definition in any published
reference, but it is an easy distinction to use. Unfortunately, in Spanish, a motore
is either, just as in English a motor is either, but in Spanish they do not have an
equivalent term to engine.
Normally Closed - A switch contact that is closed for normal operation, and opens for
fault. This method provides some benefits, but can also cause nuisance
shutdowns.
Normally Open - A switch contact that is normally open, and closes for fault. These are
often used on close-to-ground type systems. This type of system is usually
sufficient when the shutdown devices and system are properly maintained and
tested routinely.
Protocol - A description and the rules for how devices communicate on the specific
hardware standard they are using. In a way, the language and structure, and
syntax for the communications.
RTD - Resistance Temperature Detector or Device - Much more accurate than a
thermocouple. Typically not used above 400 degrees F. Commonly used for
winding and bearing temperatures in generators.
RTU - Remote Telemetry Unit or Radio Telemetry Unit. A device used to send
information from the site from which it is generated to another site for analysis,
and / or recording.
Sampling - The rate at which samples, or single readings, of data are taken by a
controller, PLC, or data acquisition device.
SCADA - Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition. Control methods that provide for
supervision of automated control systems, and the recording of data.

11
Supervision of an automated control may consist of changing setpoints, or
manually causing equipment to start or stop.

Sender - A device commonly used in generator, automotive, mobile, and other markets
to give an analog signal proportional to a physical parameter. This signal is
traditionally not as accurate as transducers, transmitters, or thermocouples. It is
a purely resistive and passive device.
SPDT - Single Pole Double Throw - A switch which has three connections,
common, normally open, and normally closed.
SPST - Single Pole Single Throw - A switch that when actuated will either close, or
open, but not both.
Shutdown - A term used in many ways. First as an input to a device to stop equipment
and annunciate to what that input was connected. Secondly, a stopping of the
equipment because of a condition that needs to be fixed. We use this term for
the stopping of the equipment for an abnormal condition, not just the normal
stopping of the equipment. To clarify, a shutdown is the stopping of the
equipment for an abnormal condition, as opposed to a “normal stop”.
Telemeter - An old dictionary definition is “any device for measuring
physical phenomena as temperature, radiation, etc., at some remote point and
transmitting, especially by radio, the values obtained to a distant indicator,
recorder, or observer: used in rockets, space studies, etc.” The more common
term is telemetry.
Thermocouple - Device that produces a millivolt signal proportional to temperature
that is very non-linear and depends on type, Type J, or Type K, or
many other types. Typically used for monitoring exhaust, coolant, oil, winding,
manifold, or bearing temperatures. Works well with high temperatures, not the
most accurate temperature measuring device, but commonly accepted.
Transducer /Transmitter - A transducer is defined as a device that converts one form
of energy to another form of energy. For our applications, it converts a
physical parameter into an electrical signal useful for readings, or monitoring for
setpoints for alarm, shutdown, control, or broadcast. A transmitter is a specific
case of the family of transducers that provides a current (4-20 milliamps)
output. The parameters of energy that can be converted are pressure,
temperature, level, voltage, amperage, frequency, etc.

The IGTB is a combination of a throttle and an electronic governor, therefore “integrated governor
throttle body” or IGTB. Its function is to maintain an established RPM set point through out the load
range of the engine.
Note: the throttle is not a shut off valve. There is enough clearance between the body
and the throttle plate to allow the engine to run under certain conditions at less than
rated idle RPM when the governor is not powered.
As shown in Figure 1, the governor measures the RPM with a magnetic pick up and compares it to the set
point RPM supplied by the pressure transducer.

405 4.2 12
440 5.0 15 An attained RPM set point is maintained by PID values for best
response to changes in load.

The governor has an operating voltage range of 18 to 28 Vdc with a nominal voltage of 24V.
Its operating temperature range is -40ºF to 221ºF.
Governor power is supplied by the V1-A alternator power supply system. This system produces power
only when the engine is cranking or running. At 60 RPM cranking speed there is sufficient voltage
(27vdc) to operate the governor and the RPM set point transducer.
Note: the V1-A system is not intended to provide power for other instrumentation.

The governor’s tuning values (gain, reset, etc.) are optimized for conventional compressor RPM
control operations, and step load operations. The values are fixed, and are not field adjustable.

Note: The V1-A system is not designed as a charging system.
Do not leave your auxiliary 24vdc system connected within the junction box.
When the engine is operating at rated load and speed, adjust the fuel supply pressure to be 4 to 6 psig above
the fuel pressure downstream of the governor. Assure that the engine will idle without load at that pressure
setting. If it does not, reduce the supply pressure slightly so that no load, idle RPM can be achieved.
Problem Diagnostics
Use the throttle’s fuel supply pressure gauge and fuel outlet pressure gauge to help analyze governor
performance. For example, notice the outlet pressure at engine light off, or the outlet pressure at typical
operating conditions. (Be certain that the isolation/dampening valves are adjusted for credible readings.)
When performing electrical diagnostics, use a digital voltmeter connected to the governor’s wiring harness
plug. The appropriate pin connections are listed in the table below, and on the wiring harness assembly
drawing. All voltages will be Vdc. If your voltmeter does not have an RMS function to measure the MPU
signal level, use Vac for that signal only. (Be certain that the engine’s ignition will be grounded, and the
fuel supply will be locked out for these tests.)

Factors that Affect Catalyst Operation


Catalysts can control exhaust pollution for years, and require minimal maintenance, as
long as the operator watches for:

• catalyst inlet temperatures that fall below or exceed certain limits


• chemicals in the exhaust that can harm the catalyst
• coolant or water that leaks into the catalyst
• engine oil that is not recommended for use with the catalyst
• improper catalyst sizing

Catalyst Inlet Temperature: Catalysts are meant to operate between 450° and 800°F.
Exhaust temperatures lower than 450° are not hot enough to produce an efficient
catalytic reaction, so the catalyst will not control emissions at these low temperatures.
Temperatures higher than 800° will crystallize the precious metals in the catalyst
elements, eliminating the catalyst’s emission-reducing properties.

Chemicals in the Exhaust: Certain chemicals in exhaust gases will also render the
precious metals useless as catalysts; these chemicals include lead, zinc, tin, copper,
sulfur, mercury, antimony, chromium, phosphorus, chlorinated hydrocarbons and silicon.
Contact the manufacturer for a list of all chemicals that are harmful to the catalyst. Proper
sizing of the catalyst, as well as proper maintenance of the engine, will reduce the
potential for catalyst fouling due to these chemicals. Regeneration of the catalyst
elements will remove chemical build-up on the catalyst elements as well (refer to the
“Regeneration” section on page 11).

Coolant or Water Leaking into the Catalyst: A catalyst that has been flooded with
rainwater or antifreeze is permanently damaged, and the catalyst should be replaced.
Make certain that no coolant or water is allowed to leak into the catalyst.

Proper Engine Oil: Using the proper engine and cylinder oil is critical to the successful
operation of the Ajax exhaust catalyst. Cameron AJAX® worked with ExxonMobil to
develop an oil that would ensure proper catalyst operation and maintain the designed
emissions control. Both lab and field engine tests have validated the performance of the
new catalyst friendly oil in maintaining optimum catalyst life, as well as cylinder liner,
bearing, and crosshead guide protection.

Mobil Pegasus Special CF must be used to ensure proper performance of the


catalyst.

For assistance in sourcing Pegasus Special CF via your local ExxonMobil Distributor,
please contact ExxonMobil at 1-800-662-4525, or visit www.mobil.com.

Factors that Affect Catalyst Operation 2


Compression Systems

Improper Catalyst Sizing: Catalysts are sized based on engine specifications. If the
engine is not operating according to those specifications, the catalyst is not sized
properly, which will result in a shortened catalyst life span.

Before Initial Start-up


A new or rebuilt engine started for the first time may not run properly, or according to
specifications, which may damage the catalyst. To prevent damage to the catalyst, follow
these steps:

1. Before starting the engine, remove the catalyst elements and gaskets.

EXHAUST GASES ARE


POISONOUS! BEFORE
START-UP, ENSURE THAT
ALL EXHAUST GASES ARE
PROPERLY VENTED TO THE
ATMOSPHERE AND THAT
ALL COVERS ARE SEALED
AND IN PLACE

2. Start the engine.

NOTICE: For engine break-in and debugging purposes, the EPA allows the engine
to run without the catalyst elements for a maximum of 200 hours.

3. Measure and log exhaust gas temperatures, as well as exhaust gas constituents, to
ensure that the engine is running according to the manufacturer’s specifications.
4. Once you are certain that the engine is running properly, install (or reinstall) the
catalyst elements.
The following section, “Installing the Catalyst Elements,” describes in detail how to
properly install catalyst elements.

Installing the Catalyst Elements


It is important to install the catalyst elements into the catalytic converter correctly so that
the element gaskets properly seal and no unfiltered exhaust is permitted to bypass the
elements. There are 4 main steps in installing the catalyst elements:

Step 1: Adjust the Converter Tray


Step 2: Insert the Catalyst Elements into the Converter Housing
Step 3: Compress the Element Gaskets

Before Initial Start-up 3

Step 4: Install the Adhesive Gasket for the Access Door

Step 1: Adjust the Converter Tray


a) Ensure that the silencer is secure and all safety precautions have been addressed.
b) Open the access door by removing the bolts from the access door and allowing it to
swing open (see Figure 1 below).

NOTICE: In order to install the catalyst elements, the converter tray must be
lowered.

c) Check the position of the tray (refer to Figure 2 below).


• If the surface of the tray is flush with the bottom edge of the window, the tray is
down, or lowered
• If the surface of the tray is higher than the bottom edge of the window, the tray is up,
or raised

Figure 5: Catalyst Element and Gasket O.D. Section

Step 2: Insert the Catalyst Elements Into the Converter Housing


a) Inspect the catalyst element to ensure that the gasket is in good condition, and make
sure that the gasket is secure around the element and that the 3/8” O.D. section is on
top of the element (see Figure 5 above). When compressing and sealing the gasket,
if any part of the gasket O.D. section is not on top of the element, but instead is bent
outward and away from the element, the gasket will not seal properly.
b) Align the element with one of the tray openings inside the housing and slide the
element in until it stops (see Figure 6 below).
c) Insert remaining elements into the remaining tray openings.

NOTICE: Be sure to install the elements with the gasket side of the elements
facing upward.

Figure 6: Inserting Catalyst Element Into Tray Opening

Compression Systems

Step 3: Compress the Element Gaskets


a) Raise the tray by turning the bottom nuts on the adjustment studs clockwise (facing
nut from the top) beginning with the studs opposite the access door (refer to Figure 7
below).

NOTICE: At this point, as you are turning the nuts to raise the tray, begin applying
high temperature anti-seize to each stud. Apply the anti-seize to the stud as the
nut goes down the stud, so that whenever you want to lower the tray, the nut will
easily go back up the stud without seizing.

b) Adjust the studs (alternately) until the gaskets on the back side of the elements begin
to lightly compress.

NOTICE: Ensure that the gaskets are seating on the top surface of the element
evenly.

c) Move to the access door side and adjust the remaining two studs until the entire
gasket is lightly and evenly compressed (see Figure 7 below).
d) Turn the bottom nuts of each stud two full revolutions. Alternate front to back, back to
front when tightening.
e) Tighten the top nuts of each stud to lock in place.

First, beginning with the back


two studs, turn the bottom nuts
clockwise (facing nut from the
top) to raise the element tray

Next, adjust the front two studs,


raising the tray until all element
gaskets are lightly and evenly
compressed

Ajax Technical Information Bulletin #062005 AJAX®

Step 4: Install Adhesive Gasket for the Access Door


a) Cut strips of adhesive gasket as needed to place around the converter window.
b) Make holes in the center of the adhesive gasket for the bolt holes surrounding the
converter window (see Figure 7 above).
c) Remove tape from the back of the adhesive gasket strips, and place strips around the
converter window so that when the converter access door is closed, the door will seal
completely and no gases will escape.
d) Close the access door, and tighten the nuts for the door bolts alternately until the door
is completely and firmly sealed.

Tips on Properly Installing the Catalyst Elements


If catalysts are installed improperly, some exhaust products may bypass the catalyst
elements. To avoid this problem, follow these instructions:

• Replace a catalyst gasket with a new gasket if you are unsure of a gasket’s quality or state of
repair
• Clean all mating surfaces so that the gasket can seal properly
• Tighten all nuts, bolts, and washers to prevent leaks
• Do not use silicone-based gasketing compounds

Catalyst Measurements
Once you install the catalyst elements, you can start the engine and make initial
performance measurements. Important catalyst measurements to take are:

• Catalyst Inlet Temperature


• Pressure Drop Across the Catalyst

Perform all measurements at the same engine operating points (RPM, BHP, etc.) that
were specified when the catalyst was first sized. Do not test a cold system - perform
measurements after the unit has reached thermal stability.

Catalyst Inlet Temperature Measurement


The EPA requires that catalyst inlet temperature is monitored and logged.

NOTICE: For compliance with EPA emissions standards, catalyst inlet temperature
cannot fall below 450°F or exceed 800° F.

Catalyst Measurements 8
Compression Systems

Measure catalyst inlet temperature using the 1” NPT measurement port located on the
side of the housing opposite the access door (see Figure 8 below).
“Access Door” Side of
Catalyst Housing

Catalyst Inlet Temperature


Measurement Port, 1” NPT

Figure 8: Catalyst Inlet Temperature Measurement Port

Using this port ensures that the thermowell will be positioned above one of the baffle
tubes in the muffler. At this location, the thermocouple will take the most accurate
temperature measurement, since this is one of the hottest locations in the silencer.

To further ensure that the thermowell tip is positioned above the baffle tube, use a
thermowell that is at least 12” long, and no more than 18” long.

Catalyst Pressure Drop Measurement


The EPA requires that the pressure drop across the catalyst is measured and logged
monthly.

NOTICE: The pressure drop across the catalyst cannot increase by more than 2
inches of water above the measurement taken during initial startup. The pressure
drop must be measured when the engine load is between 90% and 100%. The EPA
will accept load calculations performed using “eAjax,” the compressor
performance software for AJAX units. The eAjax software is free and can be
downloaded from www.aciservicesinc.com/ajax.

If the pressure drop does increase by more than 2 inches, the catalyst elements need to
be inspected and regenerated. To make the pressure drop measurement, we
recommend using the test equipment displayed in Figure 9 (on the following page), and
listed below Figure 10.

Warning Signs
Catalyst maintenance may be necessary if you see the following warning signs:

• unusual pressure drop across the catalyst


• emissions test failure
• emissions testing data revealing an upward trend. The following factors can contribute to
increases in emission levels:
- change in engine operating parameters (RPM/BHP, etc.)
- change in the engine fuel
- engine misfires. Misfires add fuel to the exhaust and cause temperature increases in
other engine cylinders
- engine modifications
- catalyst exposure to antifreeze or to harmful compounds such as lead, zinc, tin, copper,
sulfur, mercury, antimony, chromium, phosphorus, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and sil-
icone

Inspecting and Troubleshooting a Catalyst


After you remove a catalyst, inspect it for:

• soot in the housing, gasket, and on the face of the catalyst element; this soot is evidence that
some exhaust has bypassed the catalyst. To remove the soot, the catalyst can be vacuumed
or blown with dry, oil-free compressed air
• burned places on the face of the element, indicating excessively high exhaust temperatures,
or fuel/oil fires. Check and service an engine that has excess oil or fuel in the exhaust

Catalyst Regeneration
Catalyst regeneration, or catalyst washing, involves immersing the catalyst into solutions
of non-phosphate alkaline cleaners and acetic acid in order to restore the catalyst’s
effectiveness. Catalysts can be regenerated 2 to 3 times before they finally have to be
replaced. Regeneration is usually performed by a contractor or the catalyst
manufacturer, because using the wrong chemicals, or incorrect concentrations of proper
chemicals, can permanently damage the catalyst, and because the chemicals used in
regeneration have to be properly disposed of.

Data log a regenerated element as if it were new. After 2 to 3 cleanings, when you see
from emissions measurements that the conversion efficiency is below 58% (the EPA
limit), replace or regenerate the catalyst element.

Storing the Catalyst


Store catalysts in areas protected from rainwater, ice, lubricants, antifreeze, and other
chemicals. If catalyst have been exposed to any of the above, or if the catalysts appear
corroded, the catalysts may have to be regenerated or even replaced.
