Maintenance

1. GENERAL

Water is used in a DL- drill rig for two main purposes: for drill hole flushing and for various cooling
functions. Water is fed inside the drill rod to the bottom of the hole to be drilled, the broken rock
material comes out with the out flowing water from the hole being drilled, cooling the drilling
equipments. Before leading the water to the drill rod it is led through oil cooler for drill oil cooling
purposes.

2. SAFETY

The electrical connection must be carried out by an authorized


electrician in accordance with local regulations.

Never drill without adequate flushing.

Do not reuse the water returned from the flushing circulation.

Keep the pressure limits and the pressure switches in working


order and in the right settings.

Maintenance

3.2. Normal flushing

Water supply to the rig is opened by opening the shut-off valve (8). Before opening the shut-off valve
(8), make sure that the mud separator screen (at the shut-off valve) is cleaned.
Check that the operating switch of the water booster pump (2) is in position I. The pump is started
automatically almost simultaneously with the powerpack.
Water pressure is adjusted with the pressure reducing valve (3) if necessary. Flushing water pressure
is increased with the water booster pump (2) that carries water to the water line. The flushing water
pressure to the rock drill is indicated by water pressure gauge (5). Pressure switch (4) and water
pressure gauge (5) are connected to the water line. From the water booster pump flushing water is
led to the oil cooler (6). Flushing pressure may not exceed 15 bar.
From the oil cooler water flows to electric-controlled flushing valves (7). The flushing valves switch
flushing on when control switch S74 is switched on the control panel.
The flushing system is provided with a flow control switch (12) that activates the flushing flow
disturbance function if flushing flow drops below the set value of the switch. If the flushing water
pressure on flow drops below the set values, the anti-jamming automatics engages. Flushing
pressure may not exceed 15 bar.
The water circuit is provided with a thermostatic valve (9). It monitors the temperature of return oil
after the oil cooler (6). If the temperature rises above the set value, the valve opens up and lets water
flow through the cooler to the ground.

3.3. Double flushing

The system includes two electric flushing valves, one connected to the water circuit and the other to
the pneumatic circuit. Water flushing operates during drilling as decribed with the circuit presented
above, but when the hole is completed, pressurized air can be used for blowing the hole clean.

3.4. Pressure settings

The pressure switch (4) is set to operate at 2.8 bar with a 4 second delay. If flushing pressure drops
below this value, the switch automatically stops the water pump and drilling.

3.5. Inspection of pressure switch operation

Close the water circuit shut-off valve (8). If water pressure is below 2.8 bar and the pressure switch
(4) operates, the indicator light H601 (low water pressure) in the QN panel lights up. Acknowledge
the disturbance by pressing the button S505. The pressure switch is working properly, if the indicator
light does not go off. Open the water circuit shut-off valve (8). If water pressure is over 2.8 bar and
the indicator light H601 goes off, the pressure switch is working properly.

4. MUD SEPARATOR

The mud separator does not work properly if water which has
been once in the flushing circulation is reused.

Restricted water flow causes flushing and cooling problems. The most common reason for the drop
of pressure is blocked mud separator. This is why the separator shall be cleaned at least once a
week. If the conditions change, clean the separator more often at first, and determine the correct
cleaning interval on the basis of experience.

4.1. Cleaning

When cleaning, observe the following:


1. Check that the shut-off valve (1) of the supply line is open.
2. Open the drain valve (3) of the mud separator (2) enough to allow the dirt in the strainer to come
out.
3. Close the drain valve of the mud separator.
4. If dirt does not come out then change or clean the strainer.

6.2. Function of valve

The water is drawn with a hose onto the shut-off valve’s stem. When the valve is opened, the water
flows through the mud separator and to the water pump, after that there is a pressure reducing valve.
The pressure to be regulated acts on the valve‘s inlet side, both on the valve sleeves‘s (5) top surface
(A) and bottom surface (B). These surface areas are in balance so that the pressure acting on them
does not alone cause movement of the piston (4) in either direction. Spring (2) causes the piston to
move downwards. Now the valve sleeve opens and lets the pressure into the outlet-side channel.
The same pressure, however, is acting through an internal port also on the undersurface (C) of the
valve sleeve (5), causing a force pushing the piston (4) upwards. The flow always continues as long
as the force pushing the piston upwards, a force arising from pressure, overcomes the spring force,
whereupon the disc valve closes. When the pressure on the outlet side decreases, the spring force
again becomes determining.
Then the piston lowers, the disc valve opens, opening the flow passage, the pressure effect on the
underside of the big piston becomes determining, etc. Raising of the outlet pressure is thus effected,
as can be concluded from what has been told above, by tightening the spring.
Correspondingly, for lowering the outlet pressure the spring must be slackened.

6.3. Maintenance

If the pressure acting on the pressure restrictors outlet side varies greatly, or it changes considerably
in either direction, the most likely reason is in the valve’s leaking seal, which therefore must be
changed.
Disassembly of the valve is started by loosen locking ring (13) and screwing anti-clockwise the
adjusting screw (14). Disassembly adjusting screw (14). Be carefully because of spring force. Do not
lose the spring casing‘s ball (19). After this, disassembly the ball (19), upper spring plate (17) and the
valve spring (18). Disassembly set screws (20), spring casing (3), piston (4), piston seal (16) and
distance piece (11). Disassembly is continued on the lower side of the valve by detaching the bottom
cover (2) which is screwed on to the valve body. When the cup has been detached, disassemble
valve stem (8), washer (12), disc holder (6), valve disc (7), valve sleeve (5), high pressure seal (9),
and high pressure seal ring (10).
Change the seal (9), seal ring (10) and valve disc (7) around the valve sleeve (5). Doing the same to
the piston seal (16). Assemble the valve in reverse order, using gasket 12, 21, 22 or suitable sealing
compound for the sealing of the bottom cup and the spring casing.
NOTE! If you are disassembling the valve in position, be particularly careful not to lose the
spring chamber’s ball.
NOTE! See to it that the valve is adjusted before use.

6.4. Adjusting of pressure

FLUSHING PRESSURE = INLET PRESSURE + PUMP PRESSURE. The pressure before the pumps
is adjusted with the pressure-reducing valve (3). The flushing pressure value can be read from the
pressure gauge (5). The value must never exceed 15 bar. To ensure adequate flushing, the minimum
inlet pressure to the drilling rig must be 5 bar. An optional 15-bar relief valve (14) can be installed
before the flushing circuit, in case high-pressure peaks occur in the working site’s water supply
system.

7. OIL COOLER

7.1. General

The OW21, OW30, OW45 and OW60 hydraulic oil coolers are used with Sandvik’s hydraulic
powerpacks. The oil coolers differs from each others only in size and efficiency.
The working principle of the cooler is ”from oil to water”. The cooling water flows inside the cooler
in ”three stages” so that it changes direction twice at the cooler’s end flange. Because of this
arrangement, the cooler does not drain completely through the bottom plug but pressured air blown
through the flow-circuit is needed for assistance.

7.2. Function

The flow path of the water that takes care of the oil cooling opens normally automatically when the
drilling hydraulics’ percussion circuit is actuated. In certain cases cooling may be needed also during
drilling pauses, but the valve that answers for the automatic flushing is, however, then closed. The
situation can be helped by the aid of the by-pass valve (5) connected to the oil cooler. By opening
this valve, a nonstop water flow (= cooling flow) is produced.
The volume flow is then not so great as when using the normal flow course, this serves the purpose
of additional cooling. However, it must be noted that if the available water flow is limited, by-pass
running can cause deficiency in the flushing flow. This manifests itself in a great pressure difference
at the flushing valve, depending on whether the drilling is going on or not.

Maintenance

7.3. Maintenance

If the temperature of oil increases or the pressure with the flushing valves falls, that may be a sign of
cleaning need of the oil cooler. On the lowering of the pressure there can be also other reasons, so
the cause in question must be clarified.
If it has been ascertained that cooler is blocked, and if the cooler is dismountable model, the cleaning
work must be begun by letting out both the water and the oil from the cooler unit.
Open the fastening bolts of the ends of the cooler. Remove the ends and pull the cooler’s tubing out.
The tubing’s water circuit-side surfaces (tubes’ inner surfaces) can best be cleaned by pushing a 3
mm steel rod into the tube, in direction which is against the water’s flow direction when the cooler is
used.
When the cleaning has been done, all impurities must be carefully removed from both surfaces of the
tubing. This can be done for example by washing the unit first carefully and then blowing with
compressed air any loose materials and the water off the tube surfaces.
New seals should be used when assembling the cooler.

Be careful not to overtighten the bolts. The tightening torque (37


Nm) of the cooler end fastening bolts should be adhered to so
that the ends do not bend and get damaged from excessive
tightness.

If the cooler’s hoses are loose, care should be taken of their


correct order when reconnecting them. The inflowing oil must
be led the upper way, for the reason alone that then the running
direction of the oil is natural in consideration of the cooling. For
the same reason the water must be led into the cooler the
bottom way.

Take care to observe the given pressure limits. For example the
oil cooler is in danger of getting damaged if the water circuit’s
pressure exceeds the specified limit. If a further damaged cooler
admits water in the hydraulic oil, the damages can be very
serious.

7. Open the main valve (8). Turn the three-way


valve (4) into the position where pressurized air 4
is connected to the flushing line, and start the
compressor.

8. Repeat points 6-8 until a mixture of anti-freeze


and air comes out at the rock drill or the end of
the drill steel.

Remember to fill the water pump before starting to drill.

It is important to ensure that the three-way valve is NOT left in


the position where pressurized air can enter the water circuit.

Make sure that nobody is in front of rock drill or drill rod during
blowing.

11.2. Draining

In cold conditions always remember to drain the water circuit


for the time of a longer shut-down.

11.3. Frost protection

If it becomes necessary to drain the water circuit on account of


a freezing risk, compressed air blowing must be used so that
the whole circuit (including the oil cooler) is got drained.

1. SAFETY

Service and adjustment procedures are only allowed to persons who


have been given specific service training.

WARNING

Suspected leaks should be searched visually or by listening. Do not


touch pressurized hoses with bare hands. They may have unnoticeable
pin-- holes to let out a thin air flow which might penetrate through the skin
WARNING and cause personal injuries.

Check the condition of the pneumatic hoses and make sure they run
properly on the supporting guides. Remember that a hose breakage may
cause personal injuries.
WARNING

In cold weather any water in the air cleaner must be carefully drained. If
the water is allowed to freeze it can damage the cleaner.
CAUTION

Maintenance and repair work should only be done when the rig is out of
operation. Make sure that it cannot be accidentally started (open the
main power switch, for instance) during the repair work. Unauthorized
CAUTION
persons are not allowed near the rig during the repair work.

AIR CIRCUIT

2. GENERAL

Pressurized air on the DL drilling rig is mainly used for two main purpose:

1. Primarily for rock drill shank lubrication.


2. To blow the hole clean after drilling and for water mist flushing with a certain
amount of water added into the air flow.

Pressurized air is taken from the compressor mounted on the rig or from the air line of the
drilling site.

Shank lubrication is very important for the operation of the rock drill. Insufficient lubrication
causes damages to the rotation mechanism and the shank of the rock drill. This is why
the drilling is automatically prevented if the shank lubrication is insufficient; a pressure
switch detects low air pressure and prevents drilling.

Neglecting proper shank lubrication will result in serious damages on


the equipment.
CAUTION

3. COMMON VALUES

The air consumption for shank lubrication with 4--6 bar is approx. 0,3 m3/min.

AIR CIRCUIT

4. CIRCUIT OPERATION
The pressurized air system is provided with a pressure switch (2) that
monitors the pressure in the system. If the pressure drops below the set
value (2,8) bar for longer than 10 seconds the drilling is prevented.
CAUTION

PRESSURIZED AIR FROM COMPRESSOR


The filtered, pressurized air flows through the discharge valve into the circuit.
The pressurized air for shank lubrication flows through the water separator (3). The
separator has a drainage valve (5) to let the water out. The valve can be left slightly open
to blow continuously the water out.
From the water separator (3) the pressurized air flows to the central lubricator, KVL or
SLU. The purpose of the shank lubricator is to provide sufficient lubrication for the rock
drill shank. The lubricating oil is mixed with the air that carries it to the rock drill. For
removal of the water the shank lubricator is provided with the drainage valve.
A part of the air that comes from the compressor is led through one way restrictor (16) and
an electrically-controlled flushing valve (7) for blowing the drilled hole clean.
The flushing valve (7) is controlled with a control lever in the control panel. The adjustable
one way restrictor (16) will provide the sufficient air flow for the central lubricator even if
the flushing valve (7) is open.
The pressure gauge (10) indicates the air pressure in the circuit.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE ONE WAY RESTRICTOR (16)


Start the compressor and wait till the pressure reaches the normal operation level. Open
the flushing valve (7) to let the air flow into the rock drill shank lubrication line. Check the
pressure reading of the shank lubricator gauge.
Adjust the lubricator pressure up to minimum of 4 bar by the one way restrictor. If the
pressure goes under this minimum level the pressure switch (2) will stop the drilling. If this
happens the one wayrestrictor (7) must be turned clockwise to increase the pressure.
Secure the valve by lock nut after the adjustment.

PRESSURIZED AIR FROM THE MINE OWN AIR NETWORK


Pressurized air can be taken into the circuit also from the air network of the mine. To let
the pressurized air from the network flow into the rig’s circuit the ball valve (11) must be
opened, whereby the air is led through a separate air cleaner (12) before entering the
circuit. The IP5 air cleaner (12) cleans the air coming from the network, and removes water
from the air. The IP5 is provided with a water drain valve (13).
The air from the mine air line can be taken through the electric--controlled flushing valve
(7) to blow the drilled hole clean or to flush the hole if the water--mist flushing (option) is
used.
Otherwise the circuit operates as described in chapter ”Pressurized air from compressor”.

AIR CIRCUIT

5. USE OF COMPRESSOR

The operating switch has three positions (S502, located in the SW panel of the
cabin/safety canopy).

S502

POSITION 0
Compressor not running. As the first compressor starts (any compressor) pressure
monitoring is activated. Used when the required air is taken from the mine network so that
no compressor is needed.

POSITION 1
Normal position, compressor running. As the first powerpack starts, compressor will start
1 second after that, and pressure monitoring is activated. With powerpack already
running, the turning of the switch to position 1 will start the compressor. The compressor
is switched off when the powerpacks are stopped.

POSITION S (non--locking)
If no powerpacks are running, turning the switch to the non--locking S position will start
the compressor alone (manual control for production of compressed air).
NOTE! Air pressure control is NOT activated when the compressor is running
alone.
Turn the switch to position 0 for stopping the compressor. When the compressor is in
manual control, the starting of powerpacks is not possible. For starting powerpacks you
must first switch off the manual control of the compressor. In case of power failure, or if
the emergency stop button is depressed, the compressor will not start again automatically
but needs to be restarted.

B61170--3 en 0507/LH 9 (15)


AIR CIRCUIT

The QN panel has the following indicator lights for the compressor: green “compressor
running” indicator light H618, red “compressor overload” indicator light H605, and red
“compressor overheat” indicator light H604. Activation of the overload and temperature
controls of the compressor will stop the powerpacks, the water pump, and the compressor.

AIR CIRCUIT

6. AIR CLEANER IP 5

The shank lubrication is one of the most important


functions affecting the operating condition of the rock
drill. Therefore, the air used in the shank lubrication
system must be sufficiently clean. When the rig’s own
compressor is used the pressurized air is filtered. If,
however, the air comes from an air network at the drilling
site, a separate air cleaner (IP 5) must be used. It is
installed in the line before the central lubricator. The IP
5 not only cleans the air from impurities but also
separates water from the air.
The IP 5 operates with the cyclone principle. All of the air
that flows through the cleaner is cleaned. The impurities
and the water separated by the cleaner remain in the
bottom of the cleaner. The manually operated valve at
the bottom is opened to drain the cleaner.

TAP

Open the drain valve of the cleaner at least once during each shift.

CAUTION

AIR CIRCUIT

7. WATER MIST FLUSHING (Optional)

In water mist flushing, water is sprayed into the flushing air. The amount of water depends
on the hole diameter, the drilling direction, and the rock type. When using water flushing,
be sure, that the volume of the water is enough. When using air mist flushing, be sure, that
the volume of the air is enough.
The flow of flushing air is monitored by a flow control switch (S10). If the flushing air flow
drops under the set value, the drilling direction is reversed and drilling is interrupted.

The air mist flushing is activated when the control lever S74 is pulled backwards. In this
case air can flow through the air valve (S9), flow meter and non return valve to the rock
drill.
The flushing valves (water valve (A), air valve), switch flushing on when control lever S74
is pulled “on“ position on the control panel. The flushing system is provided with a flow
meter (S10) that activates the flushing flow disturbance function if flushing flow drops
below the set value of the switch. If the flushing water pressure drops below the set values,
the anti--jamming automatics engages

8. BLOWING THE HOLE (OPTIONAL)

For blowing the hole clean, the DL device uses an air receiver (9). The purging speed of
the receicer can be regulated using a restrictor (17). Using a pressure relief valve (18),
the maximum receiver pressure has been restricted to 8 bar.

1. GENERAL ID: 14275

The shank lubricator SLU 1/2/3 is one of the most important units on Sandvik drilling equipment. Its
purpose is to provide sufficient lubrication for Sandvik rock drills under varying drilling conditions and
situations. Sufficient and accurate lubrication is made possible by regulating the working frequency
of the shank lubricator pump(s).

3.1. General ID: 14279

The pump unit delivers oil to the rock drill along an inserted pipe. Pressurized air is used for distributing
the oil to the lubricating points. In a recovering system, pressurized air is used for collecting the
lubricating oil into a separate receiver. The system is equipped with an oil level switch.

Operation and Maintenance

3.2. Operation of the pump ID: 14280

The lubricating pump is a hydraulically operated piston pump with electric control. The metered
amount of oil is determined by electrically altering the pump’s working frequency.
The lubricating pump is made up of blocks. The pump consists of one main block with 1-2 auxiliary
blocks connected to it (depending the number of the booms). The main block and each auxiliary block
have their own lubrication monitoring switch. Electric control is for the main block only. Monitoring is
activated always when operating voltage is switched on.

3.3. Control unit ID: 14281

The closing ball in the non-return valve of the lubricating pump outlet port operates as a monitoring
switch against its seat. Oil flow through the non-return valve lifts the ball off the seat surface, whereby
the circuit is cut. The ball in the non-return valve of the control valve connects electrically to the frame
of the pump (and the drilling rig) Voltage is connected to the ball via a spring that is insulated from
the pump frame.
If the ball remains open over four working cycles, the alarm is
switched on. The indicator light goes on, the joystick(s) are
centered and the drilling function is disabled. Correspondingly,
if the ball does not open over four working cycles, alarm is
switched on. Alarm is removed when normal pumping is
resumed.

this page.

Depending on the drilling conditions (hole depth, type of rock,


etc.) the required amount of lubrication may vary in the given
range and more. For small hole sizes (for the drifter in question)
and in upwards drilling and bolting, we recommend to choose
low Fine settings. For larger hole sizes and high temperature
surface applications, we recommend to choose higher Fine
setting.

4.2. Bleeding ID: 14289

Bleeding of SLU TANK is based on gravity, and it


is carried out by opening the bleeding screw (4) 9 8
(CT7) 1–2 turns and then waiting until the oil no
longer contains any bubbles. During the bleeding
the diesel engine/power pack must be stopped. 4 12
When bleeding the PUMP, connect an extra hose
(04-JIC) from port L to a suitable reservoir and 2
start the diesel engine/power pack. Open the
bleeding screw (4) (CT7) 1/2 turn and the 3
bleeding screw (2) (CT4) 1 turn. Leave them open
6
for about 1 minute. Close the bleeding screw (4)
(CT7). Wait until the oil no longer contains any
bubbles. Close the bleeding screw (2) (CT4) and 1
remove the extra hose from line L and connect
the original hose to port L. Start the power pack 11
and compressor. Switch on the Booster switch
ID: 17290
(position 1) approx. for 10 minutes to make sure
that there is shank lube oil in the hose all the way
to the drifter and to make sure that the rod side of
the SLU pump is bled. After boosting remember
to switch off the booster switch (position 0).

Remember to bleed all pump blocks in same time!

Hydraulic bleeding screw (CT4) is used only for bleeding the


pump.

Safety 09.02.1999

This chapter contains the general safety instructions concerning this compressor. Read also
the safety instructions for transport, commissioning, use, and maintenance presented
separately in each section of the manual. Always read the safety instructions before
starting to work. In this manual, the instructions concerning safety are marked with the
symbol:
In addition to these instructions, the local regulations in your country may impose additional
requirements that must be observed.

General safety instructions


Installation and preparations for use
The compressor’s noise level, measured in an open space, may rise higher if the installing
location is surrounded by walls that reflect sound. Observe this when choosing the best
location for the compressor.
Observe the local regulations on the use of hearing protectors.
Make sure that the intake air for the compressor is clean and cool. Prevent the exhausted air
from recirculating to the intake. Make sure that foreign objects cannot get into the compressor
with the intake air. Make sure that the intake air does not contain any explosive gases.
Do not exceed the compressor’s rated maximum pressure, capacity, or rotation speed
(Cf. Technical Specifications). Use pneumatic hoses that are rated to withstand the working
pressure. Pay special attention to the hose mountings. A whipping hose may cause
unpredictable damage. Remove the pressure in the hoses before disconnecting.
The pressure vessels in the pressurized air network must fulfill pressure vessel regulations.
The electrical connection shall be made by authorised, qualified persons.
There might be some oil in the water condensate. Notice the regulations concerning the oil
remove.

Operation
Do not blow pressurized air against the skin. Do not use the compressor with its doors open.
Use recommended oil types only. Do not mix different types of oil. Compressors with remote
starting should be provided with a warning sign that indicates the method of starting.
Do not use the compressor in explosive environment.

Maintenance
Maintenance work on the compressor should always be done with the compressor stopped
and disconnected from the mains. The shut-off valve to the pressurized air network should
also be closed. Make sure that the air/oil receiver is pressureless before you start maintenance.
Do not repair the container by welding. All alterations must conform to the regulations
concering pressure vessels.
Starting of compressors with remote control and in multicompressor use must be prevented
while maintenance work is in progress. Do not neglect the regular check-ups and maintenance
of the compressor. With the exception of the repairs described in this manual, all repair work
should be carried out by company authorized by Gardner Denver.

Operating principles

Compressor unit

Main components of the compressor unit:


Air end body (1), two screw rotors (2,3) mounted on bearings in air end body (1) and inlet
flange (4), and bearing cover (6).
The drive shaft is sealed with a shaft seal (5).

6
Air compressing process
02.02.2000

In a screw compressor, the air is compressed in the compressor unit driven by an electric
motor.
The meshing rotors take in air between the ridges as they pass by the intake opening.
When the rotors turn, the connection to the intake opening closes, and the space between the
ridges starts decreasing. At the end of the compression phase, the desired pressure has been
reached, and the connection to the receiver opens.
The air in the compressor unit is cooled by oil that is injected into the compressor unit.
In the compressor unit, the oil cools the air and the compressor unit.
In addition, the oil lubricates the bearings and seals the clearances between the rotors and the
rotor housing.

7
Oil circulation
02.02.2000

From the air end the mixture of compressed air and oil mist is ducted into the oil system,
where the oil is separated from the air. The oil separation process is two-phase.
Most of the oil is separated in a cyclone by centrifugal force, and the rest in oil separator
element (1). From the oil separator element the oil flows back to the circuit through return
pipe (2). Orifice (3) restricts the backward air flow to the air end.
On its way back into the air end, the hot oil flows through cooler (7) and oil filter (4). If the
oil is cold, thermostat (5) in the oil system directs it past the cooler.
This forced oil circulation is maintained by the pressure difference between oil system and air
end.
In order for the oil circulation to work whenever the compressor delivers air, there is an
output control valve (6) to prevent the oil system pressure from dropping below the pre-set
minimum (3 bar).

8
Capacity control
02.02.2000

The system is designed to regulate compressor output according to use of compressed air,
and this to minimize energy consumption per cubic metre of air produced.
Production is stepplessly regulated from nought to maximum compressor output.
Output is governed by opening or closing the intake valve.
Pilot valve (1) automatically operates the intake valve trough monitoring output pressure and
keeping it within a set range. Normally this range is 1bar, i.e. compressor output pressure
may vary by 1bar depending on air consumption.
When power unit is stopped, pressure release valve (2) opens and releases pressure in air/oil
container.

No Component Purpose
1 Pilot valve Opens and closes intake valve
2 Pneumatic valve Empties receiver at stopping

02.02.2000
Stocking, transporting and installing

Stocking the compressor


If the compressor is stocked for a long time, the stock room must be dry and warm.
Is reasonable to slack or loosen the V-belts for the period of stocking.

Lifting the compressor


Notice the center of gravity of the compressor. Cf. dimensions drawing (p.5).
Don’t go under the load.

11
Moving the compressor with a forklift truck
02.02.2000

Observe special caution during lifting and transporting.


A forklift pallet should be used.

Installing
Installing location
1. The compressor must be installed on an even surface, bearing in mind the compressor’s
weight (Cf. Technical specifications). Observe the need for draining (oil separating well or
a separate container) for condensate water.
The water contains oil.
2. Study the dimensional drawing for the required minimum distances to walls and other
machines.
3. Make sure that the compressor room is properly ventilated. The cooling air temperature
must not be higher than +40°C, the lower value is given in the technical data-page (p.4).
Prevent recirculation of cooling air. If the compressor is provided with air ducts, observe
the required air volume and the max.pressure loss of the blower. Observe also the
possibility to the cleaning of the coolers (Cf. Technical specifications).
Notice that almost the whole input power of the compressor moves to the
cooling air of the air cooled compressor.
4. Install the temperature gauge in place (if it’s delivered loose). Connect the safety functions
of the temperature gauge (temperature alarm and stopping) Cf. separate instruction p.17.

12
Electric connection (models with electric motors) 02.02.2000

The electric connections must made according to the IEC standards. All local safety
regulations must also be observed.
Make sure that the operating volatge is correct. The voltage must be as rated, 5%.
Connect the power supply cable. Observe the power requirement (Cf. electric diagrams and
technical data).
Connecting the protective earth lead correctly is especially important.
Power supply connections are only allowed to qualified electricians.
See the connecting of the temperature gauge, separate instruction p.17 .

Connecting to pressurized air network


Install a shut-off valve between the compressor and the network for maintenance purposes.
Use a flexible hose to connect the compressor to the network.
If a piston type compressor is connected to the network, a pressurized air container must be
installed between the piston and screw compressor, unless the volume of the network
between them is big enough.
If the pressurized air network include after-treatment devices (as a dryer),
please connect to the distributor of Gardner Denver.

13
02.02.2000
Operation

First start of compressor


If the compressor has been stocked for a long time, check the functioning of
the belt tightening.
1. Top up compressor oil to the upper limit of the receiver (Cf. oil recommendation and oil
changing instructions).
2. Start the compressor for a second to check the compressor unit for correct direction of
rotation (marked with an arrow on the compressor unit ). Do not run the compressor
longer than 2 seconds.
Wrong direction of rotation will damage the compressor unit.
The compressor unit’s direction of rotation must be checked always when
the compressor is reconnected to the power supply network.
3. Start the compressor.
4. Adjust the operating pressure as required (Cf. separate instructions).

14
Normal starting and stopping of compressor
02.02.2000

Starting
Start the compressor.

Stopping
Push the stopping button.
Before the restart wait about 1 minute to allow the receiver to empty.

15
Adjust of modulating
02.02.2000

Output pressure can be regulated by turning the adjusting screw (B) on the valve.
Locking nut (A) must be loosened before adjusting :
turning the screw clockwise increases pressure and turning it anticlockwise lowers pressure.
Tighten the locknut after adjustments!
Do not exceed the compressor’s specified maximum pressure (Cf. Technical data).

16
Temperature gauge
02.02.2000

For temperature measuring the compressor is equipped with a temperature gauge.


At 100°C the temperature alarm lights and at 115°C the compressor will stop.

The safety functions; the temperature alarm (S1) and stopping (S2) are located in the
temperature gauge. Connect them accordingly to these wiring diagrams, which are also on
the side of the temperature gauge.
The safety functions must absolutely be connected before taking the
compressor into use.

17
02.02.2000
Maintenance

Procedures before starting maintenance


Caution: Hot surfaces immediately after stopping.
1. Stop the compressor, and make sure that the receiver is pressureless. The blow-out
function empties the receiver after stopping; wait 2 minutes.
2. Turn power off and make sure that the compressor cannot be accidentally started.
3. Close the shut-off valve between the network and the compressor.

Oil recommendation for Gardner Denver 02.02.2000

screw compressors in industrial use


We recommend to use motor or circulation oil(hydr. oil) of good quality stated according to
below requirements or synthetic hydrocarbon lubricator.

OUR PRIMARY RECOMMENDATION IS GARDNER DENVER F 2105


SCREW COMPRESSOR OIL. THE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN
PREFILLED WITH THIS TYPE OF OIL.

Order number for 10 litres 033 891 41


Order number for 200 litres 033 891 43
If this product is not available there must be noticed the following factors in oil selection:

Mineral oil
Use compressor oil specially made for screw compressors, which contents antioxidants and
preventive components against rust, foaming and wearing.

Synthetic lubricant
Use compressor oil specially made for screw compressors, which contents antioxidants and
preventive components against rust, foaming and wearing.

Viscosity:
– max. 500mm2/s by starting temperature (> 0°C)
– min. 7mm2/s by running temperature of oil (= 55°C over the ambient temperature)

Flash point:
– min. 180°C (open cup)
In normal circumstances these conditons are fulfilled when using ISO VG 32...46 or
SAE 10W...20W/20 oils.
Before taking the oil in continuous use the following facts should be checked which have ef-
fect on compressor operation:
– running temperature (continuous over 90°C running temperature will half the
normal oil change intervall for mineral oil)
– oil consumption (high running temperature increases oil consumption)
– if glogged oil separators
– if varnish formation (affects the cooling and oil separation)
Varnish formation can be seen on metal levels as a brown lacquer coating.

Note! Different oil qualities must never be mixed together

Operation and maintenance

9. LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE ID: 25158

Pumps installed in accordance with these instructions will operate efficiently with very little
maintenance. The mechanical shaft seal is self-adjusting and has wear-resistant seal faces which
are lubricated and cooled by the pumped water. Pump bearings are lubricated by the pumped water
as well.
Motors without grease nipples have ball bearings which are lubricated for life with a heat-resisting
grease. No additional lubrication is required.
Motors with grease cups (nipples) can be lubricated with a lithium based grease.
TYPE: ESSO BEACON 3 or similar types.
Additional greasing is only recommended under exacting operating conditions. Overgreasing may
result in motor failure. In case of seasonal operation (out of operation for more than 6 months), it is
recommended to grease the motor, when it is taken out of operation.

9.1. Frost protection ID: 25159

Under the conditions where the temperature of the surroundings can go below 0 °C, the flushing
system must be protected against the freezing of the flushing water, by blowing some anti-freezing
liquid through the flushing line.

9.2. Inspection ID: 25160

At regular intervals, depending on the conditions and time of operation, the following checks should
be made:
• Possible leaks.
• Remove and clean all filters fitted to the installation.
• Tripping time for the motor overload unit.
