1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. GENERAL
This manual has been prepared to assist the operators and service technicians to obtain optimum performance from the Hypercomp Compressor Model 3W815. It provides information required for the installation, commissioning, operation, servicing and troubleshooting faults of the compressor. Information contained in this manual corresponds to the details as on its publishing date. Minor differences may be observed on account of modifications in the compressor made afterwards. Such matters must be clarified from the compressor manufacturer explicitly so as to ensure safe and optimum performance of the machine. Please note that the Model and Serial No. must be quoted in all communications regarding the compressor. 1.2. COMPRESSOR DESIGN
Hypercomp Compressor Model 3W815 is a W-type three (3) stage heavy duty machine designed for intermittent or continuous operation with minimal maintenance. This is apparent from the rugged water cooled cylinders and crosshead design. The standard design consists of a packaged unit mounted on a sturdy steel skid. The unit consists of the compressor, electric motor, flywheel, vee-belt drive, inter-stage coolers, oil separators / pulsation dampers for each stage, pressure relive valves, blowdown valves, condensate drains and automatic unloaders for each stage, optional low oil level safety switch and Control panel.
Hypercomp compressor utilizes a strong and robust crankcase frame design which provides efficient and reliable service under continuous duty applications. 1.3. COMPRESSOR CONFIGURATION
Hypercomp Compressor is a 3 cylinder 3 stage water-cooled compressor. The cylinders are mounted in a W type configuration to ensure well balanced operation. Each cylinder has tangential seals to prevent gas from pressurizing the crankcase. The crankshaft is dynamically balanced, counter-weighed and rides on two tapered roller bearings at each end. The pistons are crosshead guided. All connecting rods are forged steel. Connecting rod bearings are steel backed, Babbitt lined, shell type construction. The pulsation/filter chamber is placed on the inlet of the compressor with an adequate sized cartridge type filter positioned inside this tank. The threads in this tank are B.S.P. on the inlet. The gas passes through a solenoid valve, into the tank, through the enclosed filter and into the inlet manifold. 1.4. CONTROL PANEL
The compressor is supplied with an intrinsically safe control panel monitoring 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Oil pressure Inlet pressure Inter-stage Final stage pressures Lubricator flow rate (Optional) Final gas temperature and /or water temperature.
Other monitors can be added to system if required.
1.5.
DRIVE
The compressor is designed to be powered either by an electric motor or gas engine drive. The motor is of explosion proof category (Ex dIIBT4) and approved for use in hazardous areas. The electric motor is foot mounted and is driven with anti-static C section Vee belts. Protection for the motor is by thermistors and an over current device. 1.6. LUBRICATION
Oil is stored in the crankcase sump from which it is drawn by a plunger type oil pump. This oil pump is located on the front of the compressor adjacent to the intercooler. The oil pump is driven off an integral cam of the compressor crankshaft. Normal operating oil pressure is 20 to 60 psi. The oil is drawn through a screen located in crankcase sump through a check valve and passes through oil pump plunger to the oil pressure chamber. From this point the oil is under pressure and is fed through drilled passages in the crankshaft to the connecting rod and main bearings. The crosshead pistons and cylinders are splash lubricated by throw-off from the connecting rod bearings. The compression cylinders are force-fed lubricated by a single pump through a divider block or multi pumps depending on the service conditions. The divider block has a flow sensor to monitor the output. The oil pump body is bolted and doweled to the compressor from retainer and carries a non-adjustable pressure relief valve that serves to by-pass excess oil to the crankshaft sump. The relief valve also serves as a pulsation eliminator for oil pressure peaks. Volume of oil contained in sump is 12 liters. Half liter oil is consumed per 50 running hours (depends on conditions).
1.6.1. i.
OIL QUALITY
Oil should be of uniform viscosity, non-detergent and super refined with rust and oxidation inhibitors. Oil should be of naphthenic base of a specially compounded type to minimize carbon formation and to produce carbon residue of a soft and fluffy nature. Oils having animal fat compounding are not recommended. ii. Use of following weight oils for the ambient temperature ranges as indicated below is recommended: Above 60 F : SAE 30 32 to 60 F : SAE 20 Below 32 F : SAE 10W iii. Viscosity according to ISO Classification ISO VG 100 i.e. 90-100 cst (mm2/s) at 40 C (Resp. 55-70 cst or 7-9 deg E at 50 C) iv. Viscosity index: min. 80 v. Flash point: min. 200 C vi. Stock point: max. 12 C resp. pour point: max 9 C vii. To achieve good water separation properties, the oil should not, or to a light degree only, contain dispersant additives. 1.7. COOLING SYSTEM
The compressor is equipped with Shell & tube type heat exchanger and jacketed compression cylinders. The cooling can be achieved by either open or closed circuit. The cooling system should have an adequate corrosion and scaling inhibitors for maintenance free operation for extended periods, such as 50% Glycol/water solution or similar preparation. Water level is maintained by daily Top up of the water tank, located on the top of water circuit. 1.8. COMPRESSOR VALVES
Valves assemblies for all stages are of flat plate, low lift, multiport concentric type except the 1st stage which are not concentric type but have individual suction and delivery valves. Easy access is provided to the valves for their removal and services.

1.9.
GAUGE PANEL
Hypercomp compressor incorporates a gauge panel which can be mounted either on the skid or on the floor depending on the site conditions. It is connected to the compressor through flexible hoses. The gauge panel includes Low/High Inlet gas pressure switch gauge 1st stage gas delivery pressure gauge 2nd stage gas delivery pressure gauge 3rd stage gas delivery pressure gauge incorporating stop/start switch Low oil pressure switch gauge Water flow switch (fitted on compressor piping) 1.10. CONDENSATE DRAIN AND AUTOMATIC UNLOADING Each stage of the compressor delivery is piped through a separator which is connected to a diaphragm drain valve that discharge into a common chamber from where it is piped back to the blow down recovery vessel. The drain valves are operated by an EX solenoid valve which is actuated automatically every time the compressor shuts down and after every 30 minutes of continuous operation. The same system provides for the unloaded startup of the compressor.

4. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The following instructions serve for protecting the life and health of operators and maintenance personnel as well as for maintaining the operating reliability of the compressor unit. 4.1. GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS/ INSTRUCTIONS
Most accidents which occur during the operation and maintenance of any machine result from failure to observe basic rules and precautions. An accident can often be prevented by recognizing a situation that can lead to potentially hazardous conditions. 1. Highly compressed gases contain a large amount of energy and therefore are very dangerous if not handled correctly. 2. Installation, operation, maintenance and repair shall be carried out only by qualified personnel and in accordance with the corresponding regulations for operation and safety. 3. Carry out maintenance and repair works on entirely vented areas. 4. Rotating machine parts represent a special danger for accidents. Covers and guards must not be removed whilst the machine is operating. 5. Persons staying for long periods in the compressor room should use hearing protection. 6. Do not store flammable materials near the compressor unit, e.g. oily rags. 7. Smoking is strictly prohibited near the compressor and other gas storage system. 8. Supply pipe work and other components which may not include in our scope of supply must be suitable for the respective working pressure. 9. Never interrupt electrical protective conductors. 10.Electrical cables must be flame proof and must not be linked or get into contact with rotating parts. 11.Dont touch blank wires and live (current carrying) parts, when the electrical system is energized. 12.The switch board may be opened only by qualified and authorized persons. Even if the main switch is set to the OFF position, the poles
16
of the switch, the feed cables of the terminal strip are alive. Therefore do not touch anything on the switch board, and do not carry out work, when the main current supply is not disconnected. Before starting work check if the system is entirely free of power. 4.2. INSTALLATION (GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS)
1. The compressor is supplied on its own base and should be installed in a vented area allowing adequate room around for suitable access for maintenance. Every effort should be made to ascertain that ambient air around the compressor does not exceed 50C. 2. Generally the compressor should be mounted on a substantial concrete base or rigid iron fixture. 3. Anti vibration mountings can be used in situations where minimal vibration transmission is required. It is an advantage in these applications to increase the weight of the base by filling the spare areas with stressed concrete consultation with the factory can facilitate this at the manufacturing stage. 4. If the compressor is mounted on anti vibration mounts, the inlet, discharge gas and water piping should be flexible and these pipes should not be taut. 4.3. PLACEMENT
The compressor can be placed on the foundation and carefully leveled both crosswise and lengthwise. 1. Under normal circumstances, a special foundation for the compressor is not necessary but it must be verified first that the support floor is structurally adequate as well as flat and level. 2. The foundation structure should have o4 foundation bolts of 20mm diameters buried at least 150mm deep in to the concrete base and have a hole at the bottom to prevent them from rotating when the nut is tightened. 3. Alternatively 04 Nos x 20 mm Dyna bolts or equivalent can also be used.
17
4. The compressor can be placed on the foundation bolts and carefully leveled both crosswise and lengthwise. After the compressor is leveled, nuts on the foundation bolts should be tightened. 5. The control cabinet containing switch gauges and intrinsically safe circuits should be mounted free standing as close to the compressor as possible. The cabinet stand should be securely bolted to the floor. All control hoses and temperature probe cables are marked for attachment to the appropriate fitting on the compressor. All hoses can be freely laid across compressor ensuring they are clear of moving parts. 4.4. PIPING
1. In order to prevent vibrations being transmitted from the compressor to the fixed distribution piping in the plant room and to facilitate maintenance removal of pipe work, flexible piping must be fitted at the following points. a) b) c) d) e) f) Gas inlet Gas Discharge Cooling water in Cooling water out Blow down manifold OUT Pressure relief valves manifold out
2. Gas piping to and from the compressor must be entirely cleaned and free from dirt and scale from the inside (by blowing through with high pressure air) 3. Piping from the compressor to the storage must be at least (12mm) in diameter. Never reduce pipe size in the discharge line from a compressor, minimize bends and fittings in the discharge line. 4. Ensure that all piping to the inlet and from the discharge has been pressure tested to a minimum of one and half times the working pressure of each system. NOTE: Failure to do this could result in serious injury to nearby personnel.
18
5. Before completing pipe work assembly, ensure that all port protection plugs and blanks have been removed and suction piping is clear of jointing compound, scale, swarf, dirt, moisture or any other foreign substance. 4.5. COOLING SYSTEM
The compressor is cooled by a closed circuit system via the cooling tower. The cooling system should have an adequate corrosion and scaling inhibitors for maintenance free operation for extended periods, such as 50% Glycol/water solution or similar preparation. Water levels are maintained by daily Top up of the water tank, located on the top of water circuit. 4.6. LUBRICATION
1. Prior to initial operation, the crankcase of the compressor must be
filled with recommended lubricating oil. 2. It is important to use oil from a known reputable source. Use of inferior quality oil may create service problems with valves, bearings, oil pump etc. that will be costly to repair. 3. Check lubricator, flow rate is in accordance with recommended settings.
19
5. COMMISSIONING
Before starting up the compressor for the first time, ensure that one is familiar with the safety devices and type of controls. 1. Fill the crankcase with oil up to the half way mark on the sight glass. (Approx. 12 liter) 2. Fill water circuit through cooling tower and bleed air from water pump as well as the air bleeding points on the compressor. 3. Check for correct voltage and phase sequence; if the phase sequence is not correct then the phase failure relay will not allow motor to start. 4. Check V-belts for correct alignment and tension; adjust if necessary. 5. Rotate compressor manually by rotating the fly wheel few full turns to achieve pre lubrication and to ensure that it is rotating smoothly. 5.1. START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Disconnect the inlet manifold pipe and all inlet pipes to all three compression cylinders for initial startup 2. By activating the solenoid valve purge the pulsation tank of air until gas is adequately present. (Caution must be taken during this procedure to have adequate ventilation and ensure that there are no ignition sources for at least 10 meters. 3. Disconnect the oil lubricator pipe from all cylinders and pump each lubricator pump by hand until the oil appears at the discharge end of each pipe. Reconnect the pipes and continue pumping for another twenty full strokes. 4. Check that the final discharge valve is open and that the pipe is free from obstruction. 5. Start/Stop the compressor until discharge gas noise is heard and check the direction of the rotation. Rotation should be such that the water pumps are rotating correctly. 6. Replace the inlet pipe to the first stage. Check that all pipe connections are securely tightened. 7. Check that all pressure switch settings are as recommended in the manual.
20
8. Start the compressor and allow it to run for no longer than 30 seconds during which time oil pressure should be checked to ensure that it has risen and that gas has flowed through the first stage in sufficient quantity and to ensure that any foreign matter has been blown clear. 9. Replace the inlet pipe to the second stage and repeat to clear any foreign matter. Continue in this manner until all piping is back in position and securely tightened. The compressor is now ready for final startup. 10.Having done an initial startup satisfactorily, restart the compressor and observe the interstage pressures are as recommended in the operating settings. 11.Check that the receiving vessels to be filled have their valves open. 5.2. NOTES OF CAUTION
1. The discharge pipes from each stage should not be touched during running as a painful burn can result. 2. Ensure that the cooling system has had sufficient anti-freeze added to the coolant for the climatic conditions that prevail. 3. A shut-off valve is installed in the high pressure discharge line; the operator should make certain that this valve is open before starting the compressor. In addition, a relief valve is also included in the line between compressor and the shut-off valve. 4. Do not allow the motor to rotate in the wrong direction for more than a few seconds. If incorrect rewire immediately. 5. For the first start (or after any maintenance repairs have been performed), make sure adjustments are made if bearing run hot or if the drive belts do not run true on their respective pulleys. Observe and obey all safety precautions. 6. The compressor controller gauges should read as indicated in the table of operation controls and indicators after the discharge pressure reaches 3600 psi. 7. Safety valves have been set at the factory to relieve at the proper pressure. Do not change or alter these settings.
21
6. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The commissioning procedures described in the previous sections should be followed for the first time commissioning operation, after a compressor overhaul or after the compressor has been idle for long periods (over 4 weeks) The compressor and its surrounding area should be kept clean at all times. The exterior of the compressor, especially pipes connections and joints should be kept clean. If oil film and condensate is wiped clean regularly, any leaks that occur will be more readily identified. It is good to monitor and record the interstage gas pressures, temperatures, currents, hour meter reading, etc. This information is as per sample Daily log sheet attached. This information gives a good indication of machine operation and can give advanced warning of malfunction. The readings vary with ambient temperature and final discharge pressure but are usually within 5%. A useful visual indication can be obtained if the gauge glass is marked at the normal readings. 6.1. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
1. Read all starting & operating instructions before running compressor. 2. Do not work over compressor without ensuring that all equipment is isolated from the electrical supply and will remain isolated whilst work is in progress. 3. Always open high pressure gas line valves slowly. 4. Never attempt to stop leakage or tighten joints or loose parts when compressor is running and parts are under pressure 5. Never operate the compressor with a malfunction in the oil or cooling water system. Should a fault develop in either of these, the compressor must be stopped immediately and the fault investigated and remedied.
22
6.2.
START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Before starting the compressor, the operator should be familiar with the type of controls and all the safety devices fitted to the compressor. 2. Check oil level in crankcase and top up if necessary using recommended oil until level in sight glass is on maximum. 3. Check water level in sight glass and top up if necessary. 4. Check Vee-belts are in good condition and correctly tensioned. 5. Check main isolator switch is ON, the Emergency Stop button is unlatched and fault circuits are Reset. 6.3. RUNNING ON LOAD
1. Press Start button. 2. If the storage cascade pressure is below the Re start set point of switch gauge, the compressor motor will start up immediately on STAR and then change over to DELTA after the time set time delay of approx. 5-8 seconds (Note: Motor will not start if any of the overload circuits i.e. compressor motor current overload, thermistor (for Ex motors), phase failure relay, cooling tower fan motor overload, water pump motor overload OR temperature fault circuits are activated). 3. Immediately after the starter contactors change over to DELTA, the gas inlet solenoid will be activated. However, at this stage the unload valve is still de-energized and will not allow the compressor to build up to its full operating pressures. 4. The timer T1 set at approx. 20 seconds (Condensate blowdown) and timer T4 set at approx. 30 seconds (oil safety By pass) are activated when the Start button is pushed. 5. The timer3 is set at approx. 20 seconds (Safety bypass) is activated after the compressor comes on Load. 6. Hence after a lapse of 20 seconds from the time the Start button was pushed, the compressor goes on Load. The indicator light on the electric control panel will also show this condition. 7. After a lapse of 40 seconds from the time the Start button was pushed, the compressor gets into normal on load operation ensuring that all safety circuits are working correctly.
23
8. The compressor is fitted with an automatically fitted unloader to mechanically remove any oil and condensate from the compressor. This is controlled by timer T2 set at 30 minutes and timer T1 set at 20 seconds. The operation of the unloader is such that it will operate whenever the compressor is shut down, during start-up, and after every 30 minutes of continuous compressor operation for a period of 20 seconds. 9. The compressor will continue to operate until the final stage gas pressure reaches the set point for automatic shut down e.g. 250 bars. On reaching this set point, the compressor motor will be deenergized and the unloader will be energized to bleed gas from all the cylinders back to the Blow down Recovery vessel. This means that the compressor is ready and waiting for a signal to restart automatically as soon as the gas storage pressure falls to the set point. 10.As gas is used from the storage cascade and the final stage gas pressure reduces to the set point; e.g. 205 bars, then the compressor will automatically restart. It will now go through the same sequence as in steps 2-9 above. 11.During normal operation, the compressor can also, be stopped by pressing Stop button or the Emergency Stop Button on electric Control Panel OR the Emergency Stop Button fitted on the side or front of gauge panel. 6.4. SAFETY CIRCUITS
The compressor operating conditions that are monitored under which the compressor will be shut down on a Fault are as follows: 1. Low gas inlet pressure 2. High gas inlet pressure 3. Low oil pressure 4. 3rd stage high gas discharge temperature after cooler 5. Water flow failure 6. Electric motor current overload (overload indication) 7.

The compressor is fitted with the following 1. Oil level sight glass 2. Water level sight glass (only in close circuit system) 6.6. LUBRICATION
The plunger type oil pump with internal by pass relief valve is fitted on front of the compressor. It draws oil from crankcase through strainer through a check valve via full flow replaceable filter and passes through the oil pump plunger to the oil pressure chamber. From this point the oil is under pressure and is fed through the drilled passages in the crankshaft to the connecting rods and main bearings. The cross head pistons and cylinders are splash lubricated by throw-off from the connecting rod bearings. Non-adjustable pressure relief valve that bypass excess oil to the crankcase sump. The relief valve also serves as a pulsation eliminator for oil pressure peaks. The lubrication circuit is shown on the attached P&I diagram. An oil pressure switch gauge is fitted as standard which indicates the oil pressure in the system as well as provides a safety on low oil pressure. 6.7. SAFETY SHUT DOWN
An oil level sight glass allows for easy inspection of oil level in the crankcase. An option is available to add a low oil level shut down safety switch to monitor the oil level in the compressor crankcase. 6.8. OIL QUALITY
1. Oil should be of uniform viscosity, non-detergent and super refined with rust and oxidation inhibitors. Oil should be of naphthenic base of a specially compounded type to minimize carbon formation and to produce carbon residue of a soft and fluffy nature. Oils having animal fat compounding are not recommended.
26
2. Use the following weight oils for the ambient temperature ranges as indicated below is recommended: a. Above 60 F : SAE 30 b. 32 to 60 F : SAE 20 c. Below 32 F : SAE 10W 3. Viscosity according to ISO Classification ISO VG 100 i.e. 90-100 cst (mm2/s) at 40 C (Resp. 55-70 cst or 7-9 deg E at 50 C) 4. Viscosity index: min. 80 5. Flash point: min. 200 C 6. Stock point: max. 12 C resp. pour point: max 9 C To achieve good water separation properties, the oil should not, or to a light degree only, contain dispersant additives. 6.8.1.

COOLING
Satisfactory compressor operation depends on effective cooling which requires positive circulation of cool, clean water, free from suspended particles. The compressor is water cooled through centrifugal pump which is driven off compressor crankshaft pulley and cooling tower installed in the safe
27
zone. A closed type circuit is also recommended where cooling water purity and quality is difficult to achieve. However, it should be done with factory consultation.

8. SERVICING/ MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

8.1. GENERAL
Regular inspections along with proper corrections of any fault found will prolong the useful life of your compressor. A regular inspection and service schedule is outlined in the following paragraph. Please bear in mind that this schedule is flexible and depending on the type of service, location, weather condition etc. It may be changed to suit individual conditions. 8.2. DAILY INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
It is useful to record stage pressures, temperatures, oil used in a log against hours run, as this builds up a detailed record of machine condition. It can also provide a trend and indication of a possible problem. 1. Before starting OR while machine is idle & unloaded check oil level. Fill to full mark, if oil level is low. Oil level must be kept between high and low level marks on sight glass. 2. Drain condensate from blowdown manifold by opening drain cock. 3. Check water levels and refill if necessary. Warning Compressed gas is very dangerous. It must be treated with respect and handled with care. The utmost caution should be observed when opening any valve after the gas has been compressed. Make certain that no person or object, that could be moved or damaged, located in the path of the compressed gas discharge from valve. This gas travels at an extremely high velocity and should be considered as dangerous as a gun.
Never play with compressed gas! never point a Gas hose at ! someone ! Never treat compressed Gas lightly.
34
Start compressor, and record in your daily log book the following 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Oil pressure and amount used. Interstage gas pressures. Inlet gas pressure. Water temperature. Gas Company Meter Readings. Any Problem or fault on compressor. 50 HOUR RUN IN MAINTENANCE
8.3. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
Check interstage pressures. Retighten V-Belts Check for leaks. Check cylinder head bolts and re torque. Check compressor mounting bolts & motor mounting bolts. Check water temperature. Check interstage cooler discharge pipes. Check cooling water level. Change the crankcase oil and oil filter while the compressor is still warm. 3 MONTHLY OR 2000 HOUR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
8.4.
1. Repeat all DAILY inspection and maintenance procedures as above. 2. While compressor is warm, drain and replace crankcase oil. Remove side cover from crankcase, inspect and clean the strainer screen. Remove and replace the oil filter cartridge. 3. Check and make certain that all gas connection are tight and secure. 4. Check vee belts on drive and water pump for tension and condition. 8.5. 4500 HOUR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1. Repeat all three monthly inspections and maintenance procedures.
35
2. Remove, clean and inspect all compressor intake and discharge valves. Repair or replace as necessary. 3. Check crankcase venting and distance piece for seal condition. 4. Check discharge capacity. 8.6. 9000 HOUR INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
1. Repeat all 4500 hours inspection. 2. Remove and recalibrate all pressure and temperature gauges, replace if necessary. 3. Check function of safety valves and recalibrate them. 8.7. GENERAL DAILY INSPECTION What to Inspect for Note dripping water, dust, chips or dirt On or about the compressor. See if any boards, canvas, paper or any foreign objects are left about that might jam any moving part or may interfere with proper ventilation. Motor or bearing block distress will often show up in unusual noises caused by abnormal metal to metal contact or odors from overheated insulation or grease. Feel bearing housings or pillow blocks for evidence or excessive heat.
What to Inspect Surroundings
Technical Conditions
Bearings
Warning Shut down compressor prior to checking for heat. 8.8. DRIVE BELT TENSION AND ALLIGNMENT
Checking parallel shaft alignment and axial groove alignment may be done simultaneously. To obtain accurate alignment, a straight edge should be used for this measurement, or when a straight edge is not available, a
36
taut line may be substituted. Perfect alignment proves to be impossible, a rough rule of thumb to determine permissible limit of misalignment is 0.4mm (1/54) out of line for each 300mm (12) between shaft centers. If drive belts are too loose, there will be slippage and rapid wear of belts. Slippage is usually indicated by a squealing or howling noise. Always refer to belt manufacturers catalogue for proper tension to be applied. Adjust tension by moving motor in direction necessary to increase or decrease tension. Tighten flywheel nut to 1356 Nm (1000 lbs ft) torque. Shaft must be in angular and parallel alignment and sheave grooves axially aligned to obtain proper performance of V-belt drives. Angular alignment is obtained by leveling shafts. 8.9. BASIC STEPS FOR V-BELT INTALLATION
1. Reduce centers so belt can be slipped on sheaves

2. 3. 4. 5. Have all belts slack on same side Tighten belts to eliminate slack Start unit and allow belts to seat in grooves Stop the unit then retighten to make sure belts have proper tension. 6. Recheck tension in 24 to 48 hours.

9. REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT

9.1. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PRECAUTIONS
1. Maintenance and repair may be carried out only on the shutdown and entirely vented compressor unit. If necessary, empty the receivers and coolers. First, the main switch in the switchboard of the unit has to be set to the OFF position. Erroneous switching on of the unit should be prevented by locking the main switch or by providing a corresponding instruction label. 2. Before starting the work, be sure by opening all manual drain valves, that the compressor is entirely pressure-less. 3. After modification or repair work on pressure vessels and safety equipment, all work must be tested and accepted by the inspection authority concerned. 4. Only use original spare parts and recommended products for maintenance and repair works on the compressor unit. 5. Never do work connected with heat production like welding near oil or gas systems. Before working on oil or gas tanks empty them and clean them carefully, e.g. by a steam jet or purge with nitrogen. 6. During maintenance and repair work observe strict cleanliness. Keep impurities away, by covering dismounted parts and free opening with a clean rag, paper or adhesive tape. 7. After having finished the works be sure that no tools, loose parts or cleaning rags have been left on or in the compressor unit. 8. Do not use easily flammable solving agents for cleaning of parts, until the unit has cooled thoroughly. After the use of solving agents carefully rinse the parts and clean them with compressed air. 9. Be very careful, use eye protection, when working with compressed air for cleaning equipment. 10.The manufacturer takes no responsibility for personal injury or damage on the unit, caused by the non-observance of the safety precautions during handling, operation, maintenance or repair of compressor units. 11.After modification or repair work to compressor and before power is applied to machine, always manually turn compressor over by hand using flywheel to ensure compressors running free.

9.14. OIL PUMP 9.14.1. GENERAL
It is important to understand the operation of the pump and its relation to the lubrication system of the compressor. Lubricating oil pressure is provided by a plunger type oil pump driven off the crankshaft. Oil is drawn through a screen, located in the crankcase sump, through a check valve and to the pump. From this point lubrication is under pressure and is carried through drilled passages in the crankshaft to the connecting rod and main bearings. Guide cylinders and pistons are splash lubricated by throw-off from the connecting rod bearings. 9.14.2. CAUTION
Make-up oil may not be added to the crankcase while compressor is operating. A heavy oil mist will be blown out of the oil filler tube if the filler cap is opened while the compressor is operating. This is normal and should not e interpreted as blow-by. There is a small flapper type relief valve assembled in the filler tube cap, which is spring loaded towards the crankcase caused by the reciprocating motion of the pistons and crankcase. This valve in the cap allows gas pressure to escape from the crankcase and prevents air at atmospheric pressure from entering and maintains a partial vacuum during operation. 9.14.3. 1. 2. 3. 4. OIL PUMP REMOVAL
Remove water pump/lube drive pulley. Remove oil connection from oil filter assembly. Screw nuts down on dowel pins and remove tapered dowel pins. Remove pump body attaching bolts/nuts. Remove oil pump body. 5. Remove plunger and connecting rod assembly. 6. Remove check valve assembly.

OIL PUMP INSTALLATION
1. Dip plunger in clean crankcase oil and insert into pump body. Be sure fulcrum pin does not extend beyond diameter of plunger. 2. Install the oil seal (lip facing inward) into pump body. Seal must be flush with outside of body so oil return passage will not be obstructed. 3. Re-install pump body to retainer. Exercise care with connecting rod and seal. 4. Shellac gasket to chamfered end of sleeve. Slip gasket side (toward compressor) over crankshaft and through oil seal. 5. Assemble cap screws finger tight. 6. Install dowel pins and tighten cap screws. 7. Install water drive pulley, washer and nut, if so equipped. Tighten nut securely and bend washer tabs on hex nut. Install lube pump pulley. 8. Reinstall oil connections to oil filter assembly. 9. Install water pump and lubricator belt and adjust. 9.15. CRANKSHAFT 9.15.1. GENERAL The compressor crankcase is cast in one piece and is closely machined to carry the crankshaft and cylinders. Tapered roller bearing outer race are a tap fit in the crankcase bore at the pulley (drive) end, and a press fit in the retainer located at the opposite end of the crankcase. Bearing caps at outer race are installed in the crankcase and retainer with the bearing surfaces facing the center of the crankcase. Metal shims are placed behind the bearing retainer to adjust the end thrust of the crankshaft. The main bearing is shrunk fit on the crankshaft. The one piece, Cast Iron crankshaft is counter balanced for smooth operation. It is rifle drilled to provide lubrication to the main and connecting rod bearings.

9.15.2.
CRANKSHAFT REMOVAL & INSTALLATION
To remove and replace the crankshaft, it will be necessary to completely disassemble the compressor. To do this, proceed as follows: 1. Remove all tubing from cylinder heads and between compressor and heat exchangers. 2. Remove cylinder heads. 3. Remove all pistons. 4. Remove all compression cylinders. 5. Remove all seal carrier plates. 6. Remove all cross head cylinders. 7. Drain oil from compressor crankcase. 8. Remove drive belts and flywheel from compressor. 9. Remove the oil tubing from the compressor oil pump. 10.Remove side plates on each side of crankcase. 11.Remove pistons and connecting rods. 12.Remove oil pump, oil connections and screen in crankcase of compressor. 13.Remove crankshaft. Use a bearing puller and remove the bearings from the crankshaft (only if replacement is needed!). 14.Inspect the condition of the crankshaft and bearings for indications of excessive wear, galling, pitting etc. 15.Tap out the main bearing outer race or cup from each end of crankcase. 16.The crankshaft connecting rod journals may be reground to a maximum removal of .76mm (0.030) of stock to remove scratches or other damage. 17.After grinding, polish the shaft with a crocus cloth. Use a micrometer to check the shaft diameter after grinding and polishing. 18.Insert new tapered roller bearing outer races into each end of the crankcase. The race, at pulley end, is a tap fit and a press fit at the retainer end of the crankcase. Make sure the races are installed with bearing surface facing the center of the crankcase. 19.The main bearings are tapered roller type and are shrink-fit to the crankshaft. To install the bearings, heat bearing in oil to 350 deg F (177 deg C), place it over the shaft until it rests on the
52
machined cheek of the shaft. Make sure that the large diameter of the bearing, formed by the cage, is facing toward the center of the shaft. NOTE Never use dry heat on the bearing. Be sure that the crankshaft rifle drillings has had the pipe plug installed before installing the bearings. Be sure that pipe plug does not protrude and interfere with assembly of bearing race. The orifice plug is placed at the crankshaft end opposite the oil pump. Hands spin the bearings after they cool to make certain they run free and quietly. 9.15.3. CHECKING CRANKSHAFT END THRUST
Install the crankshaft into the crankcase and proceed as follows to check the crankshaft end thrust: 1. Position an indicator pointer against oil pump end of the crankshaft. 2. Push the crankshaft as far forward toward the pointer as possible. Get the indicator needle of the pointer at zero. 3. Pull the crankshaft rearward as far as possible. Note the indicator reading. Permissible tolerance is 0.127mm min. to .75mm max. 4. If the crankshaft end thrust is less than the minimum or more than the maximum, remove the end cover and add or subtract shims as necessary to bring end thrust within tolerance. 5. Install the end cover oil seal, pointing the seal lip toward the inside of the compressor. Coat the outside diameter of the seal with shellac or any other good sealer before installing it in the retainer. To avoid cutting the sealing lip while installing the seal, make certain that the shaft area over which the seal slides is free from sharp edges and burrs

12.2. PRESSURE SAFETY VALVES Pressure Relief Valves and Settings Pressure relief valves are fitted on the discharge of all 3 stages of the compressor. The 3 pressure relief valves on the compressor are piped together to a common manifold from where they are piped out to vent in to atmosphere. Pressure relief valves are safety devices which prevent a high pressure rise within the cylinder. These are not control devices and should never be used as such. The safety valves are set on a test bench so that they blow off when the operating pressure exceeds the set point. The settings for the pressure relief valves are 20% above the maximum working pressure for each stage except for the final stage which is set at 10% above the maximum working pressure. The settings are as follows Compressor Stage 1st Stage 2nd Stage 3rd Stage Max.Working Pressure (Psi) 145 Psi 700 Psi 33625 Psi Pressure Relief Valve Settings 175 Psi 870 Psi 3990 Psi
The pressure relief valves are used on the Hypercomp 3W815 CNG Compressor are manufactured by Mercer Valve Co. Inc., USA with the Model Numbers as follows The pressure relief valves are to be serviced and certified as being at correct settings according to the time period stated in the Routine Service and Maintenance at these time periods, the pressure relief valves are to be removed from the compressor and inspected for their condition. If
82
servicing or repair is required, it should be done according to the manufacturers specifications which are attached. After any repairs or servicing the pressure relief valves are to be reset again on a bench and then sealed to prevent tampering after they have been replaced back on to the compressor. The date of the resetting has to be recorded in the Log Book. Details of Pressure Safety Valves are attached.

12.7. SOLENOID VALVES There is a 2-way solenoid valve for activating the Gas Inlet Valve whereas another 3-way solenoid valve is incorporated for Automatic Condensate Drain Valve Assembly. Details of these valves are attached.
137
CE-E Explosion Proof Solenoid Valves The valve is inspected to be qualified by the state instrument explosionproof safety testing bureau, is in accordance with the standard of GB3836.1-2000 general requirements for explosion-proof electric device in explosion environment and GB3836.2-2000 electric device in explosion environment explosion-proof electric device safety regulation. Explosion-proof number is GYB99309. 1. General Description The valve is suitable for explosive environment which are a kind of automatic control device used in various industrial processes, they open and close automatically according to electric-controlled signals in the control of liquid media, air and gas. 2. Features These solenoid valves feature: Wide applications, suitable for various kinds of gas and liquid. State-of Arts design and compact construction. (3) Reliable service and high sensitivity. The solenoid valves can work normally even when the working differential pressure is close to zero. 3. Construction CE series solenoid valves work on the principle of kick-directed step action. Each valve is composed of a valve body, a valve cover, a valve core and a coil. When the coil is charged, the electro-magnetic force thus produced will attract the armature, causing the pilot valve to open. Then, the pressure built in the back cavity of the valve core will be released via the pilot valve, thus building a differential pressure between the main cavity and the back cavity of the valve core, causing the valve to open. When the power source of the coil is turned off, the armature will cause the pilot valve to close under the force of the restoration spring. Then the differential pressure between the main cavity and the back cavity of the core will reach balance and the valve will thus be closed under the force of the spring. A highly sensitive device, the solenoid valves can work with
138
a differential pressure that is close to zero and they can therefore be used to replace the direct operation solenoid valves. CE-E series is added explosion-proof device on the CE series. The coil shell can endure the gas explosion pressure for the interval at the explosion isolating position can prevent the explosion energy transferring. So even if the inner explosive mixed material occurs scintilla and will explode, it can still prevent the explosive mixed material in outer space from exploding. 4. Technical specification
