mechanisms are in place and functioning correctly. If the clutch guard has been removed
from the compressor drive shaft, it must be checked to see if it has been reinstalled.
17. Whenever the separator element is replaced, check the drain pipe and the inside of the
oil separator vessel for carbon deposits; if they are excessive, they should be removed.
18. Protect the engine, air filter, electrical and control components, etc. against the ingress
of moisture, for example during steam cleaning.
19. Check that all sound dampening material and vibration dampers, for example on the
housing and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, are in good condition.
Any damaged material must be replaced with original material from the manufacturer to
prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents that could damage the air network materials, for example the
polycarbonate bowls.
21. If applicable, the following safety regulations must be observed when using
refrigerant:
• Never inhale the refrigerant vapors. Ensure that the workplace is adequately
ventilated; wear a protective mask if necessary.
• Always wear special gloves. If coolant gets on the skin, flush the skin with water. If
liquid refrigerant comes into contact with the skin through the clothing, the clothing
must under no circumstances be torn or removed; rinse the clothing with plenty of
clean water until all the coolant has been washed away; then seek medical attention.

Please also refer to the following safety precautions:Safety instructions during the
installation and Safety regulations during operation.
These safety regulations apply to machines that process or consume air or

2 General description

2.1 Introduction

Introduction
GA 75 VSD+ to GA 110 VSD+ are single-stage oil-injected screw compressors, driven by an
internal permanent magnet (IPM) motor.
The compressors are controlled by the Atlas Copco ElektronikonTM Graphic controller (ER). The
controller is mounted on the front panel. Behind this panel is an electrical box
(1) with the fuses, transformers, relays, etc.
The compressors use VSD (English: Variable Speed Drive) technology. This means: automatic
adjustment of the engine speed, depending on the compressed air requirement.
The compressors are air-cooled and are built into a sound-damped housing.
There are 2 versions of the compressor: Pack (without built-in dryer) and Full-Feature (with
built-in dryer).

GA Full Feature
The Full-Feature compressors are equipped with an air dryer, which is built into the sound-
damped housing. The dryer removes condensate from the compressed air by cooling the air
to just above the freezing point.

Operating manual

Airflow
Air enters through the air filter (AF) and the inlet valve (IV) and is compressed in the
compressor element (E).
A mixture of compressed air and oil flows into the air receiver/oil separator (AR), where oil and air
are separated.
The air flows through the minimum pressure valve (Vp), the air cooler (Ca) and the
condensate trap (MT) to the exhaust valve (AV).
The minimum pressure valve (Vp) prevents the boiler pressure from falling below the set
minimum value and is equipped with a check valve that prevents the return of compressed air
from the mains.
Full-feature compressors are equipped with a dryer (DR) behind the air cooler.

Oil circuit
In the air receiver (AR) most of the oil is removed from the air/oil mixture by centrifugal action.
The oil collects in the lower part of the air reservoir (AR), which serves as an oil tank.
The oil separator (OS) removes the remaining oil.
The oil circuit is fitted with a thermostatic bypass valve (BV) which prevents the oil from flowing
through the oil cooler (Co) when the oil temperature is low.
Compressed air forces the oil from the air reservoir (AR) through the oil filter (OF).
The filtered oil flows through the cooling channels of the internal permanent magnet motor
(IPM) to the compressor element (E).

Cooling
The cooling system consists of an air cooler (Ca) and an oil cooler (Co).
The fan (FN) draws air over the coolers. This fan is switched on and off according to
the operating conditions according to a specific algorithm.

2.3 Condensate System

Drain connections
The compressors are equipped with an electronic water drain (ED).

Location of the electronic water drain (Pack)

Operating manual

Location of the electronic water drain (Full-Feature)

On Full Feature units, the condensate formed in the dryer collects in the lower portion of the heat
exchanger/evaporator.
When the condensate in the electronic drain (ED) reaches a certain level, it is discharged
through the outlet of the automatic drain (Da).

Electronic water drain (ED)

The test button (2) on the top of the drain can be used in three different ways, depending
on the situation:
• When pressed during normal operation, the manual drain test begins.
• If pressed during an alarm, the control logic is reset
• Pressing the test button for at least 5 seconds starts the self-diagnosis routine.

Explanation LED

Green and red LED alternately on/off for 6 seconds after power on.
Drain is fed.

Green LED on
Normal operation, drain is on standby and waiting for condensate.

Green LED flashing


Normal operation, drain valve is open to drain water.

18 2921 7116 00
Operating manual

Green LED turns on/off


Water does not flow into the tank from the drain. If the float does not reach the upper level for
3 hours, the solenoid is energized for 2 seconds. This cycle is repeated 5 times (so a
maximum of 15 hours). Then the green light turns on/off.
Cause:
• No condensate enters the tank.
• Float incorrectly mounted (upside down).
Controls:
• Is there condensate in the drain? Does the water separation take place
in the heat exchanger?
• Has the float been installed correctly, for example after
maintenance? Solution:
• Although this LED symbol does not indicate a malfunction, the drain can be reset by
pressing the test button (T) for 5 seconds.
Red LED flashes slowly: cleaning routine 1
The drain tank is full and the water cannot be drained or can only be drained very slowly.
In normal operation, the drain has 20 seconds to drain all the water. If the drain is not
emptied within this time frame, a (first) cleaning routine is activated ie the valve is opened
and closed alternately for 2 seconds, for a maximum of 30 cycles. This procedure is started
to try to unblock the drain. If this first unblock routine fails, a second routine is started.
Cause:
• Filter screen clogged.
• Insufficient pressure on drain.
• Internal drain problem.
Controls:
• Is the filter clean and in good condition?
• Is there a minimum pressure of 0.2 bar (2.8 psi) in the drain?
Press the test button (T) for at least 5 seconds to reset the drain.

Red LED flashes quickly


If cleaning routine 1 is completed (after 30 cycles) but still fails, cleaning routine 2 is
activated. This routine opens (3 sec) and closes (60 sec) the drain valve until a float is in the
lower position, allowing the water to drain completely.
Meanwhile: The external alarm signal is activated.
Cause:
• Filter screen clogged.
• Insufficient pressure on drain.
• Internal drain problem.
Controls:
• Is the filter clean and in good condition?
• Is there a minimum pressure of 0.2 bar (2.8 psi) in the drain?
From this point on, the drain remains in this routine even after a reboot. Press the test button
(T) for at least 5 seconds to reset the drain.
Red LED on
An unrecoverable error has occurred. Replace the drain and keep the defective one for
further analysis.

Operating manual

2.4 Control system

Description
When the compressor is started and the mains pressure is lower than the set value, the motor
speed increases until the mains pressure reaches the set value or until the maximum motor
speed is reached.
If the air consumption is lower than the air output of the compressor, the mains pressure rises further.
When the line pressure reaches the set point (desired line pressure) and continues to
rise, the controller decreases the motor speed.
If the pressure continues to increase even though the motor is already running at minimum
speed, the motor is stopped by the controller as soon as the mains pressure reaches a value
equal to the set point plus the indirect stop level (usually 0.3 bar above the set value , see
paragraph Programmable Settings).
If the mains pressure rises very quickly to a value equal to the set point plus the immediate stop
level (usually 1 bar above the set value, see paragraph Programmable institutions), the
compressor is stopped immediately (without the engine speed being reduced first).
No compressed air is lost when the compressor is stopped in automatic mode, saving
valuable energy.
If the compressor has been stopped in automatic mode and the mains pressure approaches
the set point, the controller will restart the motor. The faster the mains pressure drops, the
faster the compressor restarts.

The pressure in the oil separator vessel is only released to atmosphere when the
compressor is stopped manually or in case of an emergency stop (see the Stopping
section in the chapter Operating Instructions).

Compressed air circuit


The compressed air flows into the heat exchanger (1) and is cooled by the outgoing cold, dried
air. The water in the incoming air begins to condense. The air then flows through the heat
exchanger/evaporator (2), where the refrigerant evaporates and the air cools further to close to
the evaporating temperature of the refrigerant. More moisture condenses from the air. The cold
air then flows through the separator (3), where all the condensate is separated from the air.
The condensate is automatically drained through the condensate drain (4).

22 2921 7116 00
Operating manual

The cold, dried air flows through the heat exchanger (1) and is heated by the incoming air.

Refrigerant circuit
The compressor (5) supplies hot, high-pressure gaseous refrigerant, which flows through the
condenser (6), where most of the refrigerant condenses.
The liquid refrigerant flows through the refrigerant dryer/filter (7) to the capillary tube (8). The
refrigerant exits the capillary tube at approximately the evaporation pressure.
The refrigerant flows into the evaporator (2), where it extracts heat from the compressed air
through further evaporation at approximately constant pressure. The heated refrigerant leaves
the evaporator and is drawn into the compressor (5) through a liquid separator (12).
The bypass valve (9) controls the refrigerant flow. Depending on the pressure value of
the condensate, the fan (10) is switched on or off by the switch (11).

3 Elektronikon Graphic controller

3.1 ElektronikonTM Graphic controller

Control panel

Display of the ElektronikonTM Graphic Control

Introduction
The ElektronikonTMcontroller has the following functions:
• Controlling the compressor
• Securing the compressor
• Monitor parts that need maintenance
• Automatically restart after a power interruption (this function has been made
inactive)

Automatic control of compressor operation


The controller maintains mains pressure within programmable limits by automatically adjusting
the motor speed. This takes into account a number of programmable settings, such as the set
point, the minimum stop time and the maximum number of motor starts and several other
parameters.
The controller stops the compressor whenever possible to reduce energy consumption and
restarts it automatically when the mains pressure decreases. If there is a risk of condensation
in the oil, the compressor activates the condensate prevention cycle and continues to operate
for a certain time.

A number of time-based automatic start/stop commands can be programmed. Please


note that a start command is always executed (if programmed and activated), even if the
compressor has been stopped manually.

Operating manual

Protecting the compressor


Alarm stop
Various sensors are mounted on the compressor. If any of the measured signals exceed the
programmed decommissioning level, the compressor is stopped. This is indicated on display
(1), and LED (2) 'general alarm' will flash.
Clear the error and reset the message.

Please refer to the applicable safety regulations before troubleshooting.

Shutdown Alert
The decommissioning warning level is a programmable level below the decommissioning
level.
If any of the measured signals exceeds the programmed decommissioning warning level, a
message is shown on the display (1) and the 'general alarm' LED (2) illuminates to alert the
operator that the decommissioning warning level has been exceeded.
The message disappears as soon as the trigger for the warning disappears.

Warning
A warning message appears on the display when the dew point temperature is too high
relative to the ambient temperature on Full-Feature compressors.

Service Alert
A number of service activities are grouped together (these groups are referred to as 'service
plans'). Each service plan has a programmed time interval. If a time interval is exceeded, a
message appears on the display (1) to warn the operator that the service work of the
respective service plan must be performed.

Automatically restart after a power failure


The controller has a built-in function to automatically restart the compressor when power is
restored after a power cut. All compressors leaving the factory have this function disabled. This
function can be activated if desired. The ARAVF label 1079 9932 74 (see the Icons section)
must be glued to the controller. Consult the Atlas Copco Customer Center.

If this function is enabled and the controller was in automatic mode, the compressor will
restart automatically when mains power is restored to the module.

Example for service level (A):


The numbers on the left refer to the programmed service intervals. For Service Interval A, the
programmed number of operating hours is 4000 (top row) and the programmed number of
actual hours is 8760, which corresponds to one year (second row). This means that the
controller will issue a service warning when it reaches 4000 operating hours or 8760 actual
hours, whichever comes first. Note that the actual hours timer continues to count even when the
controller is not powered up.
The numbers between the bars indicate the number of hours remaining until the next service. In
the example above, the compressor has just started up, which means it can run for 4000 hours
or 8280 actual hours before the next service is due.

Service plans
A number of service activities are grouped (named Level A, Level B etc...). Each level represents
a number of service operations that must be performed according to the time intervals
programmed in the Elektronikon® controller.
Once a service plan interval is reached, a message will appear on the screen.
After the service work corresponding to the indicated levels has been carried out, the counters
must be reset.

Indirect stop: occurs when the pressure rises to the preset indirect stop set point (= set point plus
indirect stop level). The motor slows down to minimum speed and the compressor switches to
no-load operation.
Immediate stop: occurs when the compressor is running at a speed between the minimum
and maximum speed, and the pneumatic pressure rises above the instant stop set point (=
instant stop set point plus level).
Both settings (indirect stop level and direct stop level) are programmable; see the

time Copco to activate the auto-restart feature.

Restart This parameter makes it possible to program the system so that not all compressors are
Delay restarted simultaneously after a power failure (ARAVF active).
Compressor The recommended minimum setting is 70 C (158 ˚F). To test the temperature sensor,
element outlet this set point can be reduced to 50°C (122 ˚F). Reset the value after testing.
The controller does not accept illogical settings. For example, if the warning level is
programmed to 95 °C (203 °F), the minimum limit for the decommissioning level is
changed to 96 °C (204 °F). The recommended difference between the warning level
and the decommissioning level is 10
°C (18 °F).

Signal delay This is the period during which the warning signal must be active before the warning
message appears.
Start delay This is the period after startup that must elapse before an alert is generated. This set
point must be less than the signal delay set point.

Minimum stop Once the compressor has stopped automatically, it will remain stopped for the duration
time of the minimum stop time, regardless of the course of the air pressure in the network.
Proportional The settings for Proportional band and Integration time have been determined

Safety

The operator must observe all applicable safety regulations, including those stated in this
manual.
• Read the manual before installing the compressor. The instruction manual contains
the necessary information regarding the values described.
• Check the situation.
• Use the right tools.

2921 7116 00 77
Operating manual

Example of a compressor room

Foundation, positioning the compressor unit


Place the compressor on a solid level floor that can support the weight of the compressor. It is
not allowed to place extra (damping) material between the floor and the base frame, so that the
base frame is not supported over the entire surface.

Ensure adequate space is available for proper maintenance and service. All dimensions
can be found in the example of the compressor room in the drawing above.

Transport brackets
Before using the compressor for the first time, make sure all red shipping brackets/bolts are
removed. They may be located under the drive train, separator vessel and compressor of the
integrated dryer (option).

78 2921 7116 00
Operating manual

Electrical connections
• The supply voltage at the compressor terminals must not deviate by more than 10% from
the rated voltage. It is strongly recommended that the voltage drop across the power supply
cable at rated current is kept below 5% of the rated voltage.
• The power supply cable cross-section and cable installation should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Examples of cable cross-sections according to IEC and UL can be
found in the Technical Data section of the Atlas Copco Owner's Manual. If cables are
grouped together with other power cables, it may be necessary to use cables with a cross
section greater than that calculated for standard operating conditions. Local regulations
remain in force if they are stricter than the suggested values.
• A main switch and fuses are not included in the compressor and must be fitted by a
qualified electrician. To select the correct fuse type and size, refer to the electrical diagram
or the Technical Data section of the owner's manual. Note that different sizes are for
compressors with or without integrated dryer.

• Always check the fuse capacity twice in relation to the calculated cable cross-section.
Decrease the fuse rating or increase the cable cross-section if necessary.
• In order to maintain the degree of protection of the electrical connection box and to
protect its components from environmental dust, it is essential to use a well-sealing
cable thimble when connecting the power supply cable to the compressor.

• For VSD compressors, fast acting fuses must be fitted as stated in the instruction book.
The use of circuit breakers is not allowed.
• Electrical connections must be checked and tightened prior to commissioning. Tightening
torques can be found in the electrical diagram.

2921 7116 00 79
Operating manual

Checking direction of rotation


At first start-up, the direction of rotation must be checked to check the phase direction of the
input power cables.

Incorrect phase direction of the input power cables can cause irreparable damage to the
compressor element.

• Fixed Speed Compressors


• Turn on the power. Start the compressor and turn it off immediately. Check the
direction of rotation of the drive motor while the motor is coasting. The correct
direction of rotation of the drive is indicated by an arrow on the motor fan housing.
If the direction of rotation of the drive motor is not correct, open the
disconnect switch and swap two wires on the input power cables.
• VSD compressors
• Air-cooled versions: check the direction of rotation of the main fan. The cooling fan
switch (commonly labeled Q15 or K15, see electrical diagram) must be switched
manually for a short period of time. The correct direction of rotation of the fan motor is
indicated by arrows on the plate under the fan, which are visible through the roof grille.
If the direction of rotation of the fan motor is not correct, open the disconnect switch
and swap two wires on the input power cables.
• Water Cooled Versions: Check the dryer's direction of rotation (only required for Full-
Feature versions, Pack versions will run correctly). The dryer switch (usually labeled
K11, see electrical diagram) must be switched manually for a short period of time.
Arrows are provided to indicate the correct direction of rotation of the dryer condenser
fan. Open the disconnect switch and swap two wires on the input power cables if the
dryer condenser fan direction is not correct.

Condensate collection
The drain pipes to the condensate collector must not hang in the water of the collector.

80 2921 7116 00
Operating manual

Atlas Copco uses oil-water separators (OSD or OSCi type) that separate oil from the
condensate to comply with applicable environmental regulations. Discharge lines from
different compressors should not be interconnected before the (atmospheric) sump, as this
may damage the electronic drains.

Ventilation
The compressor room must be adequately ventilated to control the compressor air inlet
temperature. The maximum air temperature at the compressor inlet is 46°C (115°F), the
minimum temperature is 0°C (32°F). If the temperature in the room exceeds these limits, the
compressor will switch off automatically.

If the machine is equipped with the "High Ambient Temperature Version" option, it is
allowed to use the unit up to 55 °C (131 °F). This option comes with a refill of RXD
oil. A compressor with the optional freeze protection will shut down at temperatures
below -10 °C (14 °F).
The inlet grilles, ducts and external fan must always be installed in such a way that recirculation
of cooling air to the integrated dryer and/or the engine compartment is prevented. In order to
prevent the return of exhaust air to the cooling air inlet, there must be sufficient space above the
compressor for the exhaust air to be exhausted. Otherwise a pipe for the exhaust air must be
installed.
If piping is required, a different cooling capacity may be required, depending on the four possible
piping configurations:

The direction of cooling flows should never be reversed.


The maximum air speed through the ventilation grilles is 5 m/s (16.5 ft/s). The maximum
allowed pressure drop across the line before or after the compressor is 30 Pa. If there is a
leadership

2921 7116 00 81
Operating manual

is present at the air inlet, the ambient temperature sensor should be positioned so as to
properly monitor the inlet temperature.
If the pressure drop across the ducts is too great to be overcome by the standard
fan, it is recommended to equip the unit with the optional "Powered Duct Fan".
This option increases the total allowable pressure drop across the pipes without
the need to install an additional external fan.
For air-cooled compressors and ventilation alternatives 1 and 3
The required ventilation capacity to limit the temperature in the compressor room can be
calculated as follows:
• For compressors without dryer:
Qv = 1.06 N/T
• For compressors with dryer:
Qv = (1.06 N + 1.2 D)/T
Qv = required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = nominal compressor motor power in kW D =
electrical power of the dryer in kW
T = temperature rise in the compressor room in °C
For air-cooled compressors and the ventilation alternatives 2 and 4
The ventilation capacity must correspond to the capacity of the compressor fan at a pressure
head equal to the pressure drop caused by the cooling air outlet ducts.
For water-cooled compressors
The required ventilation capacity to limit the temperature in the compressor room can be
calculated as follows:
• For compressors without dryer:
Qv = 0.13 N/T
• For compressors with dryer:
Qv = (0.13 N + 1.2 D)/T
Qv = required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = nominal compressor motor power in kW D =
electrical power of the dryer in kW
T = temperature rise in the compressor room in °C
The dryer's cooling air can be directed outside

Air Filtration
Filter DD must be installed for general use (repels solid particles down to 1 micron, with a
maximum oil transfer of 0.5 mg/m³). Downstream of a DD filter, a high efficiency filter of type PD
can be installed. This filter retains solid particles from 0.01 microns, with a maximum oil carry-
over of 0.01 mg/m3. A UD+ filter provides the same air purity as a DD filter in combination with a
PD. If oil vapor and odors are undesirable, a QD type filter can be installed downstream of the PD
filter. All filters must be preceded by a water separator if no

82 2921 7116 00
Operating manual

water separator is built into the aftercooler of the compressor. If the filter is preceded
by a dryer, a water separator is no longer necessary.
We recommend installing ball valve bypass lines around each filter to isolate the filters during
service work without interfering with the compressed air flow.
The pipes for collecting condensate may only be connected to each other after a minimum of
two metres. After the point where they are connected, the diameter of the drain pipe should be
twice the diameter of the original pipes.
It is not allowed to connect pressurized electronic drains to the drain lines of the filters.

Air delivery pipe


The pressure drop across the air outlet pipe can be calculated as
follows: p = (L x c450 x Q 1,85) / (d5 x P)
d = inner diameter of the pipe in mm
p = pressure drop in bar (recommended maximum: 0.1 bar
(1.5 psi)) L = length of pipe in m
P = absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a) Qc
= free air delivery from the compressor in l/s
It is recommended to connect the compressor air outlet pipe above the main air line to
minimize the entrainment of any residual condensate.

For proper maintenance, a manually controlled valve should be installed on the


compressed air outlet to isolate the compressor from the compressed air network.

2921 7116 00 83
Operating manual

air receiver
Install the air receiver (purchased separately) in a frost-free area and on a solid, level floor
that can support its weight.
The air receiver must be equipped with an approved safety valve of the correct capacity, which
is connected directly to the receiver. A drain must be installed at the bottom of the boiler to
collect the condensate.
With normal air consumption, the volume of the air network (boiler plus pipes) can be
calculated as follows:
V = (0.25 x Qc x P1 x T0) / (fmax x P x
T1) V = volume of the air network in l
Qc = free air delivery from the compressor in l/s
P1= compressor air inlet pressure in bar (a)
fmax = maximum cycle frequency (recommended: 1 cycle/30 seconds)
P = difference between relief pressure and load pressure in bar
T1 = compressor air inlet temperature in K
T0 = air receiver temperature in K

Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved with a forklift using the slots in the frame. Make sure that the
housing is not damaged during lifting or transport. The transit bolts must not be removed until
the unit is in its fixed and final position. Apply it every time the unit is moved.
Make sure the fork sticks out on the other side of the frame. The compressor can also be lifted
after beams have been fitted in the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot shift and that they
extend the same length on each side of the frame. The chains must be kept parallel to the
housing using chain spreaders to avoid damaging the compressor. The hoist must be
positioned in such a way that the compressor can be lifted vertically. Lift evenly and avoid
twisting movements.

On units with the optional lifting device, it is not allowed to lift the compressor if the housing
or lifting supports are not fully installed. No persons may be under the load or perform
maintenance on the compressor while lifting the compressor.

Operating manual

Safety Precautions for Water Cooled Compressors


The water flow and pressure must be set according to the local conditions.
For the quality of the cooling water, see the section Required quality of the cooling water in
this instruction manual.
A water shut-off valve and a water drain valve must be installed by the customer in the water inlet
pipe and outlet pipe of the compressor. If water shut-off valves are installed in the compressor
water inlet pipe and outlet pipe, a safety device with a pressure setting according to the
maximum cooling water inlet pressure (see Reference Conditions and Limits section in this
instruction manual) must be installed between the compressor water outlet pipe and the shut-off
valve.
When operating the unit, the operator must ensure that the cooling water system cannot be
blocked. The above also applies to the cooling water system with energy recovery. Remove
the plastic plugs (if present) from the water pipes of the compressor and connect the pipes to
the cooling water circuit.

Outdoor/High Altitude Operation


Compressors are available with the option of rain protection. This allows the compressor to be
installed outdoors under a shelter under frost-free conditions.
If there is a risk of frost, suitable measures must be taken to prevent damage to the machine and
attachments. In combination with the Frost Protection option, the unit can start up at ambient
temperatures down to minus 20 °C (-4 °F) and can run continuously at minus 10 °C (14 °F). This
option comes with a refill of RXD oil.
The maximum altitude above sea level at which the unit can operate is 1000 m (3000 ft).

Intake air quality


The inlet air of the compressors must be clean, free from solid contaminants and gaseous
contaminants must be prevented. Dirt particles that cause wear and corrosive gases (SO2, NOx,
chlorides, H2S, NH3,...) can be particularly harmful. Make sure that as little moisture* as
possible enters with the intake air. No water droplets should enter the air inlet.
Maximum allowed relative humidity in combination with ambient temperature

100% RH 35°C (95°F)


70% RH 40°C (104°F)
30% RH 46°C (115°F)

4.3 Electrical connections


Special safety precautions must be taken when working with machines controlled by
a frequency converter. These security measures depend on the type of network (TN,
TT or IT system). Consult Atlas Copco.

2921 7116 00 85
Operating manual

Most compressors are designed for use in TT/TN networks and are intended for
industrial environments where the electrical supply is separated from the supply
network for residential/commercial premises.
To use the machine in light industrial, commercial or residential areas where there is a
shared power supply network or in an IT network, additional measures may be
required: contact Atlas Copco.

5.1 Energy recovery


5.1.1 Energy recovery unit

Description
In every compression process, a large part of the required energy is converted into heat. With oil-
injected GA screw compressors, most of the heat of compression is dissipated by the oil system.
Atlas Copco's energy recovery systems (ER) are designed to recover most of the heat of
compression by converting it into warm or hot water, without adversely affecting compressor
efficiency. The water can be used for various applications.

Components
The energy recovery system is fully integrated and mainly includes:
• stainless steel oil/water heat exchanger
• Thermostatic bypass valve for energy recovery heat exchanger (BV2)
• Two temperature sensors for water inlet and outlet control (3 and 4)
• The necessary bolts, hoses, etc.
• Pressure relief valve with pressure setting of 10 bar
• oil drain valve

5.1.2 Energy recovery systems

General
Energy recovery systems can be applied as systems with limited temperature rise and
high water flow, or as systems with high temperature rise and limited water flow.

Systems with limited temperature rise and high water flow


In this type of application, the temperature difference between the water in the energy
recovery system and the compressor oil is small. Therefore, for maximum energy
recovery, a high water flow is required.
Example: the heated water is used to keep another medium at a moderately high temperature
in a closed circuit, such as with central heating.

Systems with high temperature rise and limited water flow


In this type of application, a large water temperature rise is obtained in the energy recovery
system, resulting in a low flow.
Example: An open circuit in which cold water from a main supply is heated through the energy
recovery system for use in a factory, for example to preheat boiler feed water.

Recovery water flow


The recovery water enters the unit through the inlet connection (1). In the heat exchanger (HE),
the heat of compression is transferred from the compressor oil to the water. The water leaves
the heat exchanger (HE) through the outlet connection (2).

Required water quality for closed water circuits.


The use of a closed water circuit reduces the requirements for the make-up water to a minimum.
The use of softened or even demineralized water is therefore economically feasible and prevents
problems due to scaling. Although the heat exchanger is made of stainless steel, it may be
necessary to add anti-corrosive agents to the water circuit connected to the compressor.
Add an antifreeze product, such as ethylene glycol, to the water in the correct amount for the
expected temperature to prevent freezing.

Required water quality for open water circuits


In open circuits that do not contain recirculated water, the main problems are usually caused by
insufficient control of deposits, corrosion and bacterial growth. To keep these problems to a
minimum, the water must meet a number of requirements.

5.1.3 Operation

Description
The compressor oil flow is controlled by two thermostatic valves (BV1 and BV2), which
guarantee reliable operation and optimum energy recovery.
The bypass valve (BV1) is integrated into the compressor oil filter housing and controls the oil
flow to the compressor's heat exchanger (HE) and main oil cooler (Co). The bypass valve
(BV2) controls the oil flow through the oil/water heat exchanger (HE) of the ER unit. Both
bypass valves consist of an element (thermostat) mounted in a housing.

BV1 starts to close the oil cooling circuit bypass line at 70°C. At 85°C the bypass line
will be completely closed so that all oil flows through the oil cooling circuit.
BV2 begins to close the heat exchanger bypass (HE) at 60°C. At 75°C the bypass line is
completely closed and all oil flows through the main oil cooler (Co).
The energy recovery system can be equipped with water side bypass valves
When the ball valves are in position (A), as shown on the energy recovery label, the energy
recovery unit is integrated into the water circuit and will recover energy.
When the ball valves are in position (B), the heat exchanger (HE) is bypassed and no energy
is recovered.

Position of Bypass Ball Valves

2921 7116 00 93
Operating manual

ER label

Attention: it is NOT allowed to put the ball valves in an intermediate position!

BV1 must have a higher opening temperature (set point) than BV2 to avoid transferring the heat
to the compressor oil cooler (Co) instead of going to the oil/water heat exchanger when the heat
of compression is used as a source for heat recovery.

Energy recovery system in use (see drawing)


Bypass valves in position (A): the heat exchanger (HE) is integrated in the water side of the
energy recovery
• Start up the compressor
When starting the compressor cold, the oil temperature will be low. Bypass valve (BV1) shuts
off the oil supply to the oil cooling system to prevent the compressor oil from being cooled. The
oil flows from the oil separator vessel (AR) through the oil filter(s) (OR) back to the compressor
element (E).
All the energy supplied is used to quickly heat up the compressor oil. No energy is recovered.
• Maximum energy recovery
Once the oil temperature reaches the set point (opening temperature) of the bypass valve (BV1),
the valve begins to shut off the bypass through the oil line from the heat exchanger (HE). This
allows the oil to gradually flow through the heat exchanger (HE). If the oil temperature reaches
approximately 75
C (167 ˚F) has risen, all oil will flow through the cooling system. The transfer of heat between
the compressor oil and the heat recovery water is maximum. The oil from the outlet of the heat
exchanger flows through the oil filter (OF), the compressor element (E) and the separator (AR)
back to the inlet of the heat exchanger (HE).
As long as the oil temperature remains below the 70°C set point, the bypass valve (BV1) will
cause the oil to bypass the main oil cooler (Co).
Principle of operation at different loads:
• Low consumption of recovered energy
The temperature of the oil leaving the heat exchanger (HE) rises. If the oil temperature rises
above the set point, the oil cooler bypass valve (BV2) will gradually cool the oil in the oil
cooler (Co).
• Recovery water flow too high/temperature too low

94 2921 7116 00
Operating manual

In this case, the bypass valve (BV1) will open the bypass line, allowing the oil from the heat
exchanger (HE) to mix with the oil from the separator (AR). Energy is transferred from the
compressor oil to the water, but at a relatively low temperature level.

Energy recovery system not in use


Bypass valves in position (B): the heat exchanger (HE) is bypassed on the water side of the
energy recovery.
The oil circuit is the same as without installed energy recovery system. No energy
is recovered.
This situation should be regarded as an exception, for example during maintenance work
on the energy recovery system or when no energy is required for a longer period of time.

Taking the unit out of service for an extended period


In case of an open water system and/or expected temperatures below freezing, the compressor
water system must be insulated and purged with compressed air.

5.1.4 Maintenance

Compressor oil
See Energy Recovery Unit section for references used.
Change oil:
1. Let the unit warm up. Stop the unit, turn off the disconnect switch and close the
compressor air outlet valve.
2. Release the pressure from the compressor and drain the oil by opening the drain valve.
Also drain the oil in the heat exchanger by opening the heat exchanger drain valve (HE).
Close the tap after draining.
3. Resume the oil change as described in the Oil and Oil Filter Replacement section of this
manual.

Thermostatic Bypass Valves


Replace the energy recovery system thermostat at the same interval as the unit thermostat.

Heat exchanger (HE)


If the temperature rise across the energy recovery system decreases over a period of
constant basic operating conditions, the heat exchanger should be inspected. Immerse the
heat exchanger in a degreasing solution to clean the oil side. A suitable method must be
used for the removal of scale in the water compartment. Consult Atlas Copco.

5.1.5 Required cooling water quality

General

Cooling water must meet certain requirements to avoid problems with scaling,
contamination, corrosion or bacterial growth.
In open-circuit cooling towers, precautions should be taken to prevent the growth of
harmful bacteria, such as Legionella pneumophila, when there is a risk of inhalation of
water droplets.

It is impossible to formulate a general recommendation for the effects of the interaction between
all combinations of the different compounds, solids and gases that may be present in the
cooling water, and the different materials. Therefore, the recommendations made in our Cooling
Water Specifications are only a general guideline for acceptable coolant quality. However,
where severe restrictions apply, a corresponding note is included in the specification.
The required water quality applies to untreated water. When the water has been treated, certain
parameters deviate. The water treatment must be carried out by a specialized water treatment
company, which accepts responsibility for the proper functioning of the treated cooling water
and its suitability for the materials in the cooling circuit. This includes not only choosing the right
additives, but also their correct administration, monitoring concentrations and properties,
preventing sludge formation and maintaining the system. The same applies to treatment with
frost-resistant products. These should be combined with suitable stabilizers and inhibitors. The
specifications also depend on the type of refrigerant circuit (open,
Consult the manufacturer if the water does not meet the recommended values, or if in doubt.

Cooling water parameters


1. pH
The pH effect has already been taken into account in the Ryznar Stability Index (RSI -
see point 4 below), but there are also limitations for pH:

iron
Stainless steel only 6 - 9.3 6 - 9.3

Values in bold are rejection limits.


When the system contains Zn or Al, the pH should be < 8.5.
2. Total dissolved solids (TDS) and conductivity
The conductivity is expressed in μS/cm, the TDS in ppm.
Both parameters are related to each other. The conductivity is convenient for a quick
check of the general water quality, but the TDS is needed to calculate the RSI. If only one
of the two parameters is measured, an estimate can be obtained by applying a theoretical
conversion factor (0.67):
TDS = conductivity x 0.67
3. Hardness
Different types of hardness are related to each other and together with the pH and
alkalinity of the water, these determine the equilibrium situation of the water, which
is established and specified by the RSI.
In addition, the calcium hardness must not exceed:

Ca (ppm CaCO3)
Cooling system type Default Energy recovery
single pass < 500 <2
Recirculation (with cooling tower) < 500 does not apply
Closed circle < 1000 < 50

4. The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI)


The Ryznar Stability Index is a parameter to predict whether water will tend to dissolve or
precipitate calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling and its effect varies according to the
material, but the equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is determined solely by the
actual acidity (pH) and the saturation acidity (pHs). The acidity at saturation is
determined by the relationship between calcium hardness, total alkalinity, total solids
concentration and temperature.
The Ryznar Stability Index is calculated as follows:
RSI = 2*pHs -
pH, where
• pH = measured pH (at room temperature) of the water sample
• pHs= pH at
saturation pHs is
calculated from:
pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D),
at which
• A: Depends on the total solids concentration
• B: depending on the water temperature at the outlet of the heat exchanger
• C: depending on the calcium hardness (CaCO3)
• D: depending on the HCO3-concentration or M-alkalinity
The values for A, B, C and D can be found in the table below:

Interpretation of the obtained values:


• RSI < 6: scale formation
• 6 < RSI < 7: neutral water
• RSI > 7: corrosive water

As a general rule, the RSI index should be between 5.6 and 7.5. If this is not the case,
please contact an expert.

5. Free chlorine (Cl2)


In closed systems and in energy recovery systems, no disinfected with chlorine.
A constant level of 0.5 ppm should not be exceeded. For shock treatments, a maximum
limit of 2 ppm applies for a maximum of 30 minutes/day.
6. Chlorides (Cl-)
Chloride ions are the cause of pitting corrosion in stainless steel. Depending on the RSI
value, its concentration should be limited.

7.2 Oil Specifications


It is strongly recommended to use genuine Atlas Copco lubricants. These lubricants are the
result of years of practical experience and research. Refer to the Preventive Maintenance
Schedule section for recommended drain intervals and refer to the spare parts list for part
numbers.

Avoid mixing different brands or types of lubricants. Because these may not be
compatible, the resulting oil mixture may be of inferior quality. There is a plate on the air
receiver or oil tank that indicates which type of oil has been used at the factory.

Only Atlas Copco oils may be used.


The oil level should be checked on a regular basis.

Roto-Inject Fluid Ndurance


Atlas Copco Roto-Inject Fluid Ndurance is a specially developed lubricant for use in single-
stage oil-injected screw compressors. Due to the special composition of this
2921 7116 00 111
Operating manual

lubricant keeps the compressor in optimum condition. Roto-Inject Fluid Ndurance can be used
for compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0˚C (32˚F) and 46˚C (115˚F). If
the compressor operates regularly at ambient temperatures above 35
°C (95°F), the life of the engine oil is significantly reduced. In that case, use Roto-Xtend Duty
Fluid for a longer oil change interval.

Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid


Atlas Copco Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid is a high performance synthetic lubricant for oil-injected screw
compressors and keeps them in optimum condition. Due to its excellent oxidation stability, Roto-
Xtend Duty Fluid can be used for compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0 C
(32 F) and 46 ˚C (115 F).
Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid is the standard oil for high ambient compressor
versions.
If the compressor is operated regularly at ambient temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F), the oil life
is limited (see oil life table Preventive Maintenance Schedule).

Roto Food Grade Fluid


Special oil, available as an option.
Atlas Copco Roto-Foodgrade Fluid is a unique and high performance synthetic lubricant,
specially developed for oil-injected screw compressors that supply air to the food industry.
This lubricant keeps the compressor in optimum condition. Roto-Foodgrade Fluid can be used
for compressors operating at ambient temperatures between 0 C (32 ˚F) and 40 ˚C (104 F).
If the compressor is operated regularly at ambient temperatures above 95 °F (35 °C), the oil life
is limited (see oil life table Preventive Maintenance Schedule).

9.2 Cross section of electrical cables and fuses

Important

• The voltage at the compressor terminals must not deviate more than 10% from the
rated voltage.
However, it is strongly recommended that the voltage drop across the power
supply cables at rated current is kept below 5% of the rated voltage (IEC
60204-1).
• If cables are grouped together with other power cables, it may be necessary to
use cables with a cross section greater than that calculated for standard
operating conditions.
• Please use the original cable entry. See the paragraphDimension Drawings. In
order to maintain the IP degree of protection of the electrical connection box and
to protect its components from environmental dust, it is imperative to use a
suitable cable thimble when connecting the power supply cable to the compressor.
• Local regulations remain in force if they are stricter than the values
suggested below.
• Carefully:
• Always check the fuse capacity twice in relation to the calculated cable
cross-section. Decrease the fuse rating or increase the cable cross-section if
necessary.
• The cable length must not exceed the maximum length according to
IEC60204 table 10.

The correct tightening torque must be applied to the power cables.

Leakage current switch (option)


If a residual current circuit breaker is required for installation, always use a residual current circuit
breaker sensitive to all currents, RCM or RCD type B (according to IEC/EN 60755) with adequate
undervoltage tripping.

Calculation method for IEC:


• Single power cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• Add 10% to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF in the tables)
• Fit the specified fuse to each cable
• Parallel power cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• Add 10% to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF in the tables) and divide
by 2
• Multiply the load capacity of the cables by 0.8 (see table A.52.17 (52-E1))
• Fuse each cable with half the recommended maximum fuse rating.
• Cross section of the PE cable:
• For power cables up to 35 mm²: same cross section as power cables
• For power cables larger than 35 mm²: half the cross-section of the power
cables
Always check the voltage drop across the cable (less than 5% of the rated voltage is
recommended).
Example 1: Itot = 178 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 200 A
• Single power cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• I = 178 A + 10% = 178 x 1.1 = 196 A
• The table for method F is at conductor temperature 70 °C and ambient temperature 45
°C allows a maximum current of 209 A for a 95 mm² cable.
Therefore use a cable of 3 x 95 mm² + 50 mm².
If method F conductor temperature 90 °C is used, 70 mm² is sufficient.
Therefore, 3 x 50 mm² + 25 mm² can be used.
Example 2: Itot = 178 A, 424 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended
fuse = 500 A
With transformer
• Single power cables with a maximum cross section of 150 mm² (3 phases + PE -
configuration (1)):
• I = 424 A + 10% = 424 x 1.1 = 466 A

138 2921 7116 00


Operating manual

• The table for method F allows a maximum current of 386 A for a 150 mm² cable at
conductor temperature 90 °C and ambient temperature 45 °C.
• 150 mm² is the maximum cable cross-section that can be connected. Therefore
we have to use configuration (2)
• Parallel power cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• I = (424 A + 10%)/2 = (424 x 1.1)/2 = 233 A
• With a 120 mm² cable, method F 90 °C conductor at 45 °C, the maximum current is
333 A x 0.8 = 266 A. So 2 parallel cables of 3 x 120 mm² + 70 mm² are sufficient.
• Install a 250 A fuse on each cable.

3/0 < 200 A
4/0 < 230 A
250 < 255 A
300 < 285 A
350 < 310 A

Calculation method for UL:


• Single power cables (3 phases + 1 PE - configuration (1)):
• Add 25% to the total current in the tables (see UL 508A 28.3.2: "Ampacity shall have
125% of the full load current")
• Fit the specified maximum fuse on each cable
• Parallel power cable (2 x 3 phases + 2 PE - configuration (2)):
• Add 25% to the total flow in the tables and divide by 2
• Multiply the load carrying capacity of the cables by 0.8 (see UL 508A, Table 28.1
continued)
• Fuse each cable with half the recommended maximum fuse rating.
• When using 2 x 3 phases + 2 PE as in (3):
• Add 25% to the total flow in the tables and divide by √3
• Multiply the load carrying capacity of the cables by 0.8 (see UL 508A, Table 28.1
continued)

2921 7116 00 139


Operating manual

• Fuse Capacity: For each cable, the recommended maximum fuse capacity
divided by √3.
• PE cable cross section:
• For power cables up to AWG8: same cross section as the power cables
• For power supply cables larger than AWG8: use the maximum allowable load
carrying capacity of the selected supply cables and compare with the value in
the table below (see CEC, part 1, table 17)

< 100 A: Use AWG8


< 200 A: Use AWG6
< 300 A: Use AWG4

Always check the voltage drop across the cable (less than 5% of the rated voltage is
recommended).
Example 3: Itot = 189 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 225 A
• Single power cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• I = 189 A + 25% = 189 x 1.25 = 207 A
• For AWG 4/0, the maximum current is 230 A, which is sufficient.
• Install the specified maximum fuse (225 A) on each cable.
