free operation and maintenance.

The area around Compressor/ Compressor room should be clean, dry,

cool and free of dust. The ambient temperature for air-cooled and oil
lubricated Screw Compressors should not exceed + 45°C. Excessively
warm intake air affects the compressed air output. When the discharge
temperature of Compressor (temperature at Compression Unit) exceeds
the set value, the Compressor will switch-off. Also the ambient temperature
should not drop below +5°C. Provide air supply openings with adjustable
louvers to ensure that the minimum temperature is not dropped below
+5°C in winter.

Rooms accommodating Compressors with oil lubricated must be fire

protected. Never store combustible materials within at least 10m radius
of Compressor. The floor around Compressor also must be of non-
combustible material.

Compressors may only be installed in working area if the sound pressure

level of their measuring surface does not exceed 78 dB (A).

5.2 Salient Features Less Maintenance
A Screw Compressor has only two moving parts – the rotors that do not
touch each other as they are kept apart by means of a thin film of oil and
hence there is no wear and tear. No reciprocating parts like piston, piston
rings, connecting rod and no discharge valves to be maintained.
Maximum Reliability
Only two moving rotors at optimum speeds ensures high reliability.
Low Discharge Temperature
The heat of compression is taken away from the point of origin to the
cooler by the injected oil and hence discharge temperature does not exceed
90°C thereby no carbonized oil is formed in the compressor and in the
system.
Small Package
Because of the unique way the screw compresses the air, a complete air
package is provided in small overall dimension with factory tested and
ready to use condition.
Vibration – Free & Low Noise
There is no reciprocating mass. It has only rotating parts that are
dynamically balanced and thus it is guaranteed for quite running and
vibration free operation
Long Life & No loss in capacity
Since thee is no metallic contact between rotors and housing and flooded
with oil, no wear or reduction in output capacity/ performance will occur
even after many years of operation.
Pulsation-free Flow
The continuous flow of air through helical cavities in the screw and
continuous compression ensures pulsation-free compressed air delivery.
Optimal Capacity Control
The new generation capacity control system provided at the compressor
air inlet side ensures optimum air intake during start up, normal running
and unloading operation.
Air Quality
The unique OSBID Air-Oil separation system provided ensures efficient
separation of oil particles with minimum pressure drop from compressed
air-oil mixture delivered at compression end. The OSBID system ensures
consistent quality of air during normal running and unloading cycles.

In case of abnormal noise observed during running of Compressor,

immediately switch OFF the Compressor and contact the ELGI
Service Engineer for remedy.

All above points to be adhered to during re-installation of Compressor

from one location to the other.

If Compressor is stored for longer period before commissioning,

contact ELGI Service Engineer for installation and commissioning
services

6.2
 SCREW AIR COMPRESSORS

7.0 Working Principle

l Air compression is achieved in Rotary Screw Compressor in the

following manner. Air is admitted at one end of the rotors where the
matching lobe and flute first come into mesh as the rotors turn.
Continued rotation brings the line of mesh past the air inlet port and
then the air in the flute of the female rotor is confined by the lobe of
the male rotor and stator. Compression now occurs as the rotors
turn further. At the time, the far end of the compression pocket
turns towards the discharge port and air flows out in the system, as
shown in Fig on next page, which depicts one lobe meshing with
one flute.

l The flutes of the female rotor and the lobes of male rotor correspond
respectively to the cylinder and piston of Reciprocating Compressor.
Lubricating oil is injected into the compressor unit, (here to be referred
as air - end) which in large quantities mixes directly with the air as
the rotors turn compressing the air.

l The lubricating oil has four functions.

a) As a coolant it takes away the heat of compression.

b) Seals the leak paths amongst the rotors and housing.

c) Acts as a lubricating film between the rotors allowing one rotor to

directly drive the other without metal to metal contact.

d) Also lubricates the bearings and gears.

USE ‘ELGI AIR LUBE’ oil for the test performance.

7.1
7.2
 SCREW AIR COMPRESSORS

8.0 System Operation

l The air aspirated through the air filter is compressed in the Screw
Compressor driven by an Electric Motor. The injected oil in large
quantities removes the compression heat generated. This internal
cooling make possible very low compression temperatures. The
compression end temperature maintained to approximately 90°C at
30°C ambient temperature.

l The air/oil mixture is delivered to the seperator tank.

l Oil and air are separated by ‘OSBID PROCESS’, ‘OSBID’ process

utilizes the impact and difference in density to separate the air & oil.

l Final filtration is done using a high efficiency separator maintaining

oil carry over levels consistently below 3 ppm.

l The separated oil is re-cooled in the oil cooler and is returned to the
injection point through the oil filter. This oil circulation circuit, operated
solely by the pressure differential, does not require any separate oil
pump.

l The thermal vale provided in the oil circuit(in manifold block) ensures
discharge temperature (compression end temperature) maintained
for optimum performance.

l The compressed air liberated from oil separator cartridge, carrying

with very small amount of residual oil is passed to the air cooled
after cooler through the minimum pressure valve to the service line

l The minimum pressure valve positioned downstream of the Air - oil

separator, in the manifold block, maintains minimum pressure for
safety supply of oil to the compressor unit.

l The temperature of the compressed air at the service end is lowered

to few degrees above ambient temperature by the air cooled after
cooler, fitted as a standard element.

l Refer Schematic Diagram for various elements used in the system

and their positioning.

l In case of dry air requirements in air network, consult ELGI for the
selection and supply of suitable dryer.

 SCREW AIR COMPRESSORS

9.0 Functions Of Various Systems

9.1 Air Inlet System l The air inlet system comprises of a dry type air filter, which filters
the inlet air, and prevents foreign particles from entering into the air
- end. Further, it has an indicator for air filter maintenance and an air
inlet valve.

l The indicator located on the filter, exhibits red when filter maintenance
is required.

l The air inlet valve directly controls the amount of air into the air -
end. The opening or closing of the valve disc controls the port area
in response to the function of the capacity control system.
9.2 Discharge System l The compressed air/oil mixure from air - end enters the specially
designed seperator tank to separate oil particles in 3 stages. The
Spin-on type separator element at final stage of air oil separation is
the vital element for getting clean air in the outlet. The separated oil
collects in the element surface and descends through the bottom of
the separator to the manifold block. The seperated air passes through
the after cooler and gets collected in the Air receiver tank in the
bottom of the base.

l The return line (or scavenge tube ) leads from the manifold block to
the inlet region of the compressor unit ensures separated oil is
returned to the air - end by the pressure differential between the area
surrounding the separator element and the compressor inlet through
an orifice.

l The minimum pressure valve, at the outlet of the seperator tank, in

the manifold block ensures a minimum receiver pressure of 4 kgf/
cm2 during all conditions for proper air/oil separation and proper oil
circulation to the air - end.

l The unit is also equipped with receiver tank blow down pressure
switch which blows out air out of the compressor to the intake valve
through the solenoid valve, when the pressure exceeds 2 kg/cm2
(30 PSI) more than the working pressure.

l The discharge temperature switch will shutdown the compressor if

the discharge air/oil mixture temperature reaches the preset value
of 110 ±5 deg C or 100 ±5 deg C depending on probe position.

WARNING
Do not remove caps, plugs, or other components when compressor is
running or pressurised.

Stop compressor and relieve all internal pressure before doing so.

9.3 Cooling and l The cooling and lubrication system consists of: Fan, shroud, oil
Lubrication System cooler, after cooler, oil filter and thermal valve and interconnecting
tubing.
l The pressure in the seperator/sump causes fluid flow from sump to
air - end through the manifold block, oil cooler, thermal valve and oil
filter.
l The thermal valve is fully closed when the oil temperature is 83ºc.
l As the discharge temperature rises above 83ºc due to the heat of
compressor, the oil temperature rises and the thermal valve begins
to close the oil line from tank to air - end through oil filter to divert the
oil through oil cooler. Depending on the oil temperature, the thermal
valve opening position ensures oil inlet temperature to air - end is
maintained by
a) Fully allowing oil from tank through the manifold block to air - end
b) Fully allowing oil from cooler through the manifold block to air - end
c) Mix of oil from tank and cooler in the manifold block to air - end
l A portion of oil flowing to air - end is diverted to anti-friction bearings.
The oil filter fitted in the manifold block at inlet of Air - end is with
replaceable.

l The functional description of the Capacity Control System is

9.4 Control System described below in 3 distinct phases of operation. This description
will apply to all control system with an exception to the pressure set
9.4.1 General
according to your pressure requirements.
l The control system for the set pressures will be in accordance with
a machine having an operating range of pressures.typical control
system is illustrated in figure below.
l When the unit is switched ON the above situation prevails, also air
9.4.2 Start Mode pulse from the solenoid valve of NO type(A) opens the Receiver
Pressure (Port-2 to 3 in solenoid valve) and vents air to the atmosphere,
hence load on the motor during starting is reduced. The above situation
continues till change from star to delta takes place.
9.4.3 Normal Operating
l When star to delta changeover occurs, the solenoid valves NO type
Mode (A) and NC type (B) get energised (i.e. A is closed and B is opened)
and as a result, air pulse from B opens the Intake valve and
simultaneously the port 2 closed, because the air pulse to it is cut
by the solenoid valve A (NO type). Now pressure builds up in the
seperator tank and when pressure rises above 4 kgf/cm2 the minimum
pressure valve opens and delivers compressed air to the service
line. Some times separate timers are provided for Star to delta
changover and energising of the solenoid valves, as a result, even
after changer over star to delta, blowing down occurs for few seconds.

9.2
 SCREW AIR COMPRESSORS

9.4.4 Unloading Mode l When a relatively small amount or not air is being used, the service
line pressure rises to the preset cut-out pressure (0.5 kg/cm2 above
working pressure) of the high discharge pressure switch (Blow down).
The pressure switch opens interrupting the electrical power to the
solenoid valve and they get de-energised. As a result, the inlet
valve is further closed and the opening provided within the solenoid
valve is opened to drop the sump pressure.

9.5 Base and Motor System l Base is Rigid structure made steel and mounted on the receiver
tank, which is provided with support legs for lifting purpose.

l The main motor is totally enclosed fan cooled type. 2 Pole Foot
mounted induction motor.

9.6 Electrical System and Ensure authorised electricians only carryout the electrical work.
Control Elements Study electrical circuit diagram before starting work.

l Check the power supply conditions on the nameplate and connect

the leads L1, L2, L3 to the terminals inside the Electrical Control
Panel on Compressor.

l Clockwise rotation of motor viewed from fan side must be

created.

l Keep the selector switch on Compressor control panel in ‘HAND’

mode. In ‘HAND’ mode once the compressor reaches the cut off
pressure it will run in unloading mode for sometime and then shuts
off the machine, compressor has to be restarted again by pressing
the “ON’ Switch.

l Check the direction of rotation when starting for the first time by
Switch - ON and Switch - OFF immediately. If the direction of rotation
is not correct, isolate the machine from electrical lines and
interchange 2 phases.

Running the compressor in wrong direction for more than 5

seconds will cause damage to Compressor parts or even total
destruction.

l Keep the selector switch on Compressor control panel in ‘AUTO’

mode. In ‘AUTO’ mode once the compressor reaches the cut off
pressure it will run in unloading mode for sometime and then shuts
off the machine, compressor will be started automatically once it
reaches the cut in pressure.

l Switch ON the Compressor after ensuring all above points and run
at rated pressure.

9.3
l When in “REMOTE” mode the system can be started only with
remote but can be switched off even manually. A Line Pressure
setting is also provided in the remote setting.

All the settings on pressure regulator, pressure switches,

electrical protection devices, temperature switch etc are set at
factory during testing before despatch.

l In case of problems during the Compressor running, check the LED

glowing on annunciation provided on Control Panel of Compressor
and refer the troubleshooting chart.

In case of abnormal noise observed during running of Compressor,

immediately switch OFF the Compressor and contact the ELGI
Service Engineer for remedy.

All above points to be adhered to during re-installation of Compressor

from one location to the other.

If Compressor is stored for longer period before commissioning,

contact ELGI Service Engineer for installation and
commissioning services.

10.0 Safety and Interlocking Devices

The following safety and interlocking devices have been equipped with
your ELGI PORTABLE ROTARY SCREW AIR COMPRESSOR for safe
and reliable service.

DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE SWITCH is fitted on the electrical box

rear side board to shut down the compressor if the discharge air/oil mixture
temperature reaches the preset value of 110 +/-5 or 100 +/-5°C depending
on pick up position. The probe is fitted on the socket air - end outlet.

MINIMUM PRESSURE VALVE fitted at the outlet of the oil separator

keeps minimum receiver tank pressure of about 4 kgf/cm2 during all
conditions which facilitates proper air and oil separation and oil circulation
to air - end.

BLOW DOWN PRESSURE SWITCH fitted on service line, senses the

line pressure and signals the solenoid valve to unload the machine. When
the line pressure reaches the preset pressure valve

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE fitted on the Air–oil seperator tank and the
Air receiver tanktank (Air-oil receiver tank) ensures the pressure is relieved
when air pressure in the tank exceeds 2.8 kg/cm2 (40 PSI) more than the

SCREW AIR COMPRESSORS
As you proceed in reading this Chapter, it will be easy to see that the
maintenance programme of the unit is quite minimal but important. The
use of the service indicator provided for the suction filter would alert you
when service maintenance is required.
For maintenance requirements of motor, refer to the motor manual for a
detailed description of service instructions.
Prior to starting the machine, it is necessary to check the oil level in the
receiver tank. Should the level be low, add the necessary amount. If the
addition of oil becomes too frequent, a problem has developed which is
causing this excessive loss. See the trouble shooting section under
excessive coolant consumption for a probable cause and remedy.
After a routine start has been made, observe the instrument gauges and
be sure they monitor the correct readings for that particular phase of
operation. After the machine has warmed up it is recommended that a
general check on the overall machine and instruments be made to assure
that the compressor is running properly.
WARNING
Do not remove caps, plugs or other components when compressor is
running or pressurised. Stop Compressor and relieve all internal
pressure before doing so.
NOTE
Carryout the first oil change after 50 hours of operation and subsequent
oil changes after every 1000 hours of operation.
After the initial 50 hours operation of Compressor, some check up is
needed to trace and clean the system of any foreign materials, which
might have gone into it during machine assembly. Carryout the following
maintenance operations so as to prevent the Compressor from giving
trouble.
l Clean the return line orifice
l Change the oil filter
l Change the Compressor oil
This is required to ensure the sediments in the system collected in the oil
filter due to prolonged storage of the compressor prior to installation are
removed.

our service engineer

12.6 Air Cooled Coolers Procedure

Visually check the outside of the cooler cores to be certain that a complete
outside cleaning of the cooler is required. Frequently, dirt, dust or other
foreign material, may only need to be removed with an air hose to rectify
the problem.

When the cooler is covered with a combination of oil, grease or other

heavy substances that may affect the unit’s cooling, then it recommended
that the cooler cores be thoroughly cleaned on the outside.

If it is determined that the compressor operating temperature is higher

than normal due to the internal passages of the cooler cores being restricted
with deposits or foreign material, then the cooler should be removed for
internal cleaning.
12.7 Drive System The drive system transmits the power required to drive the compressor
from the prime mover. The drive system comprises of the air - end pulley
(poly ‘V’ pulley) which is the driven pulley and connected to the motor
pulley (drive pulley) fitted on the motor shaft through Poly ‘V’ Belt for
driving the compressor. In addition the fan is mounted on the motor shaft
which forces air on the cooler for bringing down the temperature of air/oil.
