CHAPTER 1 INSTALLATION
1 INSTALLATION
1.1 LOCATION
The suction inlet should be installed in a well ventilated position so that air drawn into the compressor is as
cool and dry as possible and there is adequate circulation to the drive motor integral cooling fan and all the
compressor external surfaces.
The compressor must be positioned with the axis of the crankshaft and motor fore and aft in the vessel to
ensure adequate lubrication during the vessels normal roll, pitch, list and trim modes.
1.2 MOUNTING
The compressor should be mounted on support plates/pads and supported by a ribbed structure suitable for
the type and weight of the compressor. The pads/plates must be clean and flat to within 0.5 mm (1 mm with
anti-vibration mounts). Shims should be used if necessary. Refer to general arrangement drawing supplied
with the compressor documentation package for mounting feet or anti-vibration mounts dimensions and
positions and weight of the compressor.
1.3 COMMISSIONING
DANGER
1. Do not make any adjustments to the compressor, its connections or fittings whilst
the compressor is running or on standby duty.
2. Do not run the compressor unless all protective guards fitted to it and its prime
mover are in place.
PAY ATTENTION
After adding oil to the valves, the compressor must be barred over at least
3 complete revolutions to ensure lubrication of the cylinder bores during initial
start up and minimise the risk of the piston causing a hydraulic lock when the
compressor is started.
Open air bleed valve (Item C10 in Figure 5.2) to remove air trapped in water box cooler passages.
4. Remove guard covering barring over access aperture in crankcase.
5. Using a bar (not supplied) in one of the holes in the flywheel turn over the compressor through at least
three complete revolutions.
CAUTION
Take precautions to prevent injury to personnel whilst observing the direction
of rotation of the flywheel through the unguarded barring over access aperture.
Page 1-1
CHAPTER 1 INSTALLATION
6. Connect the electrical supply and carry out a momentary start and stop.
7. Check that rotation of compressor is clockwise looking on the drive end of the compressor (indicated
by cast arrow). If direction of rotation is incorrect, take appropriate steps to correct.
8. Isolate starter, refit guard (170) covering barring over access aperture.
9. Press start button. The compressor is brought on line to charge the air system. Check the following
details within the first minute of the run.
a. Check that the cooling water system is operating and the outlet from the compressor is
registering a flow.
b. Check that final stage air pressure is increasing over ambient pressure values.
10. Allow compressor to continue to run under the control of the system pressure switch and closely
monitor the temperature differential between cooling water inlet and outlet temperatures, adjusting
valves etc as appropriate to adjust the water flow rate to achieve a temperature differential of
approximately 15°C.
The compressor must run continuously for approximately 30 minutes to reach normal operating
temperature. It may be necessary to bleed off air from the system to prevent the compressor stopping
prematurely.
11. Check the operation of the system pressure switch.
12. After satisfactory operation of the pressure control system, the compressor is now commissioned for
use. The compressor may be either left running (on line) to charge the air system or stopped.

CHAPTER 2 OPERATING PROCEDURE
2 OPERATING PROCEDURE
2.1 DESCRIPTION
The standard V-Line compressor is supplied with gauges, a dual set point high air temperature switch, a dual
set point low lubricating oil switch and two solenoid operated drain valves.
The high air temperature switch (double pole) is fitted to protect the compressor by shutting it down if the
temperature rises above the normal maximum operating temperature. As an option, the second pole of the
switch may be connected to give a panel indicated warning of approaching shutdown temperature.
The low lubricating oil switch (double pole) will also shut down the compressor if it detects the oil level is
below the minimum requirement. An adjustable time delay is included to overcome false tripping due to the
roll and pitch of the vessel. The second pole may be connected to give a panel warning of approaching
shutdown oil level.
The compressor starting method can be either star/delta or direct-on-line.
The compressor may be supplied with a water circulating pump if required.
The compressor is fitted with protection devices which immediately stop and unload the compressor, when it
is connected to a suitable starter, (supplied by Hatlapa Hamworthy or the customer) if any of the following
events occur:
− minimum oil level shutdown and optional pre-alarm
− high final delivery temperature shutdown and optional pre-alarm
− high compressor motor current shutdown only
− high water pump motor current shutdown only (of water circulating pump supplied)
− emergency stop button operation shutdown only
Page 2-1
CHAPTER 2 OPERATING PROCEDURE
4. On air system charged signal, the solenoid valves are de-energised to open to drain and unload the
compressor until a signal is received:
− on recharge signal the solenoid valves are energised to close causing the compressor to charge
the system
− if the recharge signal is not received within 5 minutes (adjustable) of the charged signal, the
compressor stops leaving the solenoid valves open. On recharge signal the compressor starts as
for pressing the START button (and lamp goes out).
5. On pressing the STOP button (or switching S1 to OFF or MAN) the solenoid valves are de-energised
to open to drain the separator bowls, the compressor continues to run-on unloaded for 5 minutes
(adjustable) before stopping. Pressing the START button during this cycle brings the compressor back
on line to recharge the system.
6. If the START button is pressed while the air system is fully charged, the compressor starts as
described in 2. The compressor is then controlled by the air system pressure switch as in 3 and 4
above.

CHAPTER 3 MAINTENANCE
3 MAINTENANCE
DANGER
3.1 GENERAL
Routine maintenance of the compressor should be carried out at the intervals listed in the Maintenance
Schedule under normal conditions. However, the optimum period between servicing will depend upon the
operating conditions.
Before re-assembly, clean all parts with a suitable cleaning fluid and examine for wear, corrosion, cracks,
distortion, or any other damage. Renew as necessary. Refer to the wear tolerances given in Chapter 4 -
Technical Data.
When re-assembling compressor components, renew all joints, gaskets, and O-rings seals. Great care must
be taken to ensure that they are not damaged.
Item numbers in the text refer to items on the Sectional Arrangement Drawings which are at the end of this
manual.
When using Loctite products for nut and screw retention note the following. The shelf life of Loctite is one
year at a storage temperature of 6° - 22°C. All components to be fixed with Loctite should be thoroughly
degreased using a Loctite activator. If cured Loctite is present in a tapped hole or external thread, discard
the bolt or nut, or clean with a die and tap internal threads. All fasteners must be torqued to their specified
level (see Table 3.1).
After any servicing has been carried out, refer to Chapter 1.3.1, Commissioning Procedure, before restarting.

Page 3-2
CHAPTER 3 MAINTENANCE
Refer to Technical Data chapter for oil capacities and recommended lubricants.
1. Remove filler/dipstick and check oil level.
2. Fill/top up crankcase oil level if necessary with lubricating oil to full level on dipstick.
Periodically examine oil in crankcase and ensure that it is not contaminated with condensate. If the oil is
emulsified (creamy in colour) it must be changed and the crankcase cleaned. To minimise the risk of
emulsification use a recommended oil, ensure that the compressor is not overcooled by fitting a water shut
off valve, and maintaining a 15°C cooling water temperature rise across the machine.
If moisture forms without emulsification, as two separate liquids, condensate may be drained from below the
oil. The oil level should then be restored with fresh oil.
Crankcase oil contamination is often accompanied by an increase in sump oil level, due to oil being
supported by condensate fluid.
1. Remove the drain plug after the compressor has been running, whilst the oil is still warm and drain oil
from the compressor. Dispose of used oil in accordance with local regulations.
2. Clean the magnetic portion of plug before replacing into crankcase.
3. Remove and clean oil level switch, see chapter 3.2.24.
4. Refill with fresh oil.
1. Before removing the air filter silencer assembly, clean the outside of the filter body.
2. Remove wing nut (F8 – V105/150) (168 – V200/250/375) on top of filter assembly (166).
3. Remove top cover. On V150 only, remove wing nut (F4) on top element (F2).
4. Remove filter body complete, ie, with inlet resonator, hose clip, ‘O’ ring, and element.
5. Unless filter/silencer assembly is to be re-assembled immediately, cover valve cage aperture.
6. Renew element if necessary.
7. Reassemble filter (Hand tighten only).
1. Remove air suction filter silencer assembly from valve cage as detailed in Chapter 3.2.3.
2. Remove studding (165) and the four nuts (56) and washers (57) from the top of the valve cage (45).
3. Release crankcase breather hose (32) from the hose connector (46). (Not applicable on V375).
4. Remove valve cage complete with concentric valve (50) using M12 or M16 screws (not supplied) in
the two tapped jacking holes. (On V375 use the eyebolt fitted).
6. Remove stud connector (54) and washer (55) from concentric valve (A1) central stud.
7. Remove dome nuts (A2) and joint washers (53) from concentric valve outer side.
Page 3-3
CHAPTER 3 MAINTENANCE
A valve assembly must not be held directly between vice jaws. Never hammer a spanner
when loosening or tightening the valve nuts.
When dismantling valve, note the method and order of renewal of each valve
component. Refer to the illustration of the valve assembly to ensure that the
components are rebuilt in their correct order.
2. Clean all components thoroughly. Remove grease and carbon deposits with a soft brush using a hot
water and soda solution. Care must be taken during the cleaning operation as any surface scratch
may cause leakage and ultimately a breakage.
3. Inspect each component. If any items appear defective, worn or damaged, replace with new parts.
Re-assembly (See Figures 3.1, 3.2 & 3.3)
1. Assemble the valve components on the lower delivery valve seat (2) and studs.
PAY ATTENTION

2. Fit the upper suction valve seat (1) in position and fit nut (9 – V105/150) (10 – V200/250/375).
3. Check that the valve functions correctly and that plate movement exists. Extreme care must be taken
to ensure that the valve is not scraped or damaged in this operation.
Valve Replacement
1. Renew ‘O’ rings (48) fitted to valve cage (45) and ‘O’ rings (51 and 52) fitted to concentric valve.
2. Assemble concentric valve to valve cage and loosely fit dome nuts (A2), joint washers (53), stud
connector (54) and washer (55) to concentric valve studs.
3. Fit valve cage and valve to cylinder (39) and re-connect crankcase breather hose (32) to the hose

CHAPTER 4 TECHNICAL DATA
Extensive tests have been carried out on the V-Line compressor using Shell Corena P100 (mineral) and
Castrol Aircol SN100 (synthetic) lubricants. These oils have been found to give good results over extended
service and Hatlapa Hamworthy recommend their use to ensure satisfactory operation of the compressor.
The V-Line compressor is designed to achieve the best possible results using mineral oils. A recommended
lubricating oil should be used at all times to ensure safe and efficient operation with minimum wear. The
suggested maintenance intervals are based on the results of extensive tests using Shell P100 mineral oil.
Specific measures have been taken to ensure extended service before components need cleaning to remove
carbon.
Hatlapa Hamworthy recommend the use of mineral oil as the most economic lubricant. If synthetic oils are to
be used the following maintenance revisions are necessary.
