Product description 2.2 Function description
Function principle The air end operates according to the displacement principle. In the housing,
of the air end the main and secondary screws are driven by means of an electric motor
and V-belt.
Both screws have screw-shaped profiles, intermeshing without contact.
Together with the housing wall, these screws form chambers which gradually
reduce in size, seen in air flow direction.
Rotation of the rotors causes the air taken in to be compressed to the final
pressure in the chambers.
During compression oil is continuously injected into the air end. This having
a cooling, sealing and lubricating function.
Air circuit

3 4 5

8 7 Fig. 2.1:
6
Components of
the air circuit
1 = Intake filter
The intake filter cleans the air suctioned by the air end.
2 = Intake regulator
The intake regulator opens (load operation) or closes (idling operation or
standstill) the suction line depending on the operating condition of the com-
pressor.
3 = Air end
The air end compresses the suctioned air.
4 = Compressed air/oil receiver
The compressed air separates from the oil under the force of gravity in the
compressed air/oil receiver.
5 = Oil separator
The oil separator separates the residual oil contained in the compressed air.
6 = Minimum pressure check valve
The minimum pressure check valve does not open until the system pressure
has increased to 3.5 bar. This causes a rapid build-up of the system pressure
and ensures lubrication in the starting phase. Once the compressor has been
switched off, the check valve prevents the compressed air from flowing back
out of the mains line.
7 = Compressed air after-cooler (air and water cooled)
The compressed air is cooled in the compressed air after-cooler, causing the
water contained in the air to condensate.
8 = Stop valve
The screw compressor may be isolated from the mains by means of the stop
valve.

Produkt.pm6.5 - 05/2002 - GB
Product description 2.2 Function description
Oil circuit The oil injected into the air end has the following function:
– It dissipates the compression heat (cooling)
– It seals the gaps between the screws and between the screws and housing
– It lubricates the bearings

Fig. 2.2:
Components of the oil circuit
1 = Compressed air/oil receiver

The oil separated from the compressed air through the force of gravity collects
in the compressed air/oil receiver.
The system pressure forces it out of the receiver into the air end.
2 = Thermostatic oil control valve
Depending on the oil temperature, the thermostatic oil control valve either
allows the oil to pass through the oil cooler or through a bypass (e.g. in the
starting phase).
Thus the oil constantly maintains its optimum operating temperature.
3 = Oil cooler (air or water cooled)
The oil cooler cools down the hot oil to operating temperature.
4 = Oil filter
The oil filter traps impurities in the oil.
5 = Air end
The injected oil returns to the compressed air/oil receiver together with the
compressed air. There, it is separated through the force of gravity.
6 = Drainage line
The air end suctions the residual oil which collects in the oil separator back
into the oil circuit via a drainage line.

Produkt.pm6.5 - 05/2002 - GB
Product description 2.3 Compressor control
Network pressure For the compressor, the pressure downstream of the check valve is termed
network pressure. The control system switches the compressor on and off
during operation depending on the network pressure.
Operating states All screw compressor controls are based on three basic operating states:
1. Load operation
– The compressor delivers its maximum amount of compressed air.
– It consumes its maximum energy.
2. Idling operation
– The compressor runs but does not deliver any compressed air.
– It consumes approx. 75% less energy than in load operation.
– When compressed air is required, it switches to load operation with
out delay.
– Idling operation reduces switching frequencies which can damage the
drive motor, and reduces wear of the system.
3. Standstill ready for operation
– The compressor is standing still but ready for operation.
– When compressed air is required, it switches automatically to load
operation.
Operating modes The two most important operating modes are achieved by combining the
three operating states:
1. Intermittent operation
In intermittent operation the energy balance is perfect.
– The compressor operates in load operation.
– Upon reaching the switch-off pressure pmax the compressor switches
to standstill. It does not consume any energy.
– Once the pressure has dropped to the switch-on pressure pmin the
compressor switches back to load operation.
2. Continuous operation
Continuous operation limits the drive motor switching cycles and reduces
wear to the system.
– The compressor operates in load operation.
– Upon reaching the switch-off pressure pmax the compressor switches
to idling operation.
– Once the pressure has dropped to the switch-on pressure pmin the
compressor switches from idling operation back to load operation.
Short operating ATTENTION!

times During short operating times, the compressor does not reach its operating
temperature. It operates below the dew point. The generated condensate
mixes with the oil. The lubricating ability of the oil is reduced. This leads to
damage on the air end.
It is of utmost importance to consult BOGE, if you operate your system with
short operating times.

Produkt.pm6.5 - 05/2002 - GB
Product description 2.4 Control devices
Proportional controller The proportional controller is an additional control device intervening in the
(Option) sequences of the intake regulator.
The intake regulator only opens as far as necessary to supply the current
compressed air requirement. Thus the compressor saves compression
energy.
A compressor with proportional controller is able to supply its ’delivered
quantity variable between 0% and 100%. However, the energy consumption
does not reduce accordingly. Therefore, a control is only practical between
50% and 100% of the delivered quantity.
The proportional controller is factory set to a delivered quantity between
50% and 100% of the compressor capacity.
The proportional controller closes when the desired delivered quantity has
dropped below 50% of the compressor capacity. The compressor then oper-
ates in idling operation (continuous operation) or switches off (intermittent
operation).

Produkt.pm6.5 - 05/2002 - GB
Product description 2.5 Safety and monitoring devices
General The safety devices guarantee a high degree of operational safety, in connec-
tion with the BOGE ARS monitoring system.
When one of the safety devices responds, the control system reacts as
follows:
– The compressor is immediately switched off.
– A flashing fault number in the left field of the display indicates the cause
of the fault.
ATTENTION!
Do not operate the compressor without built-in safety devices.
Do not dismantle the safety devices or put them out of operation.
Safety temperature The safety temperature limiting device switches off the compressor once
limiting device the maximum admissible final compression temperature has been reached.
The compressor does not switch on when dropping below the minimum
temperature.
– Switch off the compressor (OFF button). Fault is acknowledged.
– Rectify the fault.
– Switch on the compressor (ON button).
Safety valve The safety valve on the compressed air/oil receiver prevents the maxi-
mum admissible pressure being exceeded. When the maximum pressure is
exceeded (e.g. incorrect setting of the operating pressure value), the entire
delivery volume of the compressor is ejected.
Monitoring The following monitoring devices are standard for BOGE ARS control sys-
the drive motor tems:
The drive motor is monitored by PTC resistors.

below or separately – Adhere to safety areas and safety clearances.
– Ensure that the compressed air receiver stands securely. It must not shift
or tilt due to external forces. This also includes the additional weight dur-
ing a pressure test!
– Ensure that the compressed air receiver is easily accessible from all sides
(for recurring tests).
– Ensure that the factory label is clearly visible.
– Ensure that compressed air receivers are adequatly protected against
corrosion.
– Only use the compressed air receiver for compressors operating with cut-
in and cut-out mode if the pressure fluctuation range amounts to ∆ p ≤ 20%
of the maximum operating pressure.
Installation surface A level industrial floor without foundation is adequate for the installation of
the compressor. No special fastening elements are required.
Fire protection The following applies to rooms in which compressors with oil injection cool-
ing are to be installed:
– For compressors with motor ratings exceeding 40 kW, ensure that the
compressor room is equipped with special fire protection.
– Install compressors with motor ratings exceeding 100 kW in a separate
fire protected room.
Requirements of fire protected compressor rooms:

– Walls, ceilings, floor and doors must be designed in fire protection class
F30 or higher.
– Flammable liquids must never be stored in the compressor room.
– The floor around the compressor must be made of non-flammable
material.
– Leaking oil must not spread out over the floor.
– No inflammable materials must be located within a radius of at least
3 metres around the compressor.
– No inflammable machine parts, such as cable ducts, may run overhead
of the compressor.
Sound protection Only install compressors in workrooms if the sound pressure level of
their measuring surfaces does not exceed 85 dB(A).

Admissible The compressor room must be clean, dry, cool and free of dust.
environmental
influences Admissible ambient temperatures
Maximum ambient temperature (for air cooling): + 40°C
Minimum ambient temperature: + 5°C
ATTENTION!
Nonobservance of the admissible ambient temperature may lead to the
following problems:
– The compressor will switch off when the admissible final compres-
sion temperature is exceeded or gone below.
– Pipe lines and valves will freeze up at low temperatures.
– Damage due to reduced lubricating ability of the compressor oil.
Measures to be taken to ensure that admissible ambient temperatures

are observed:
– Avoid any pipe lines or units radiating heat in the vicinity of the compres-
sor, or insulate them well.
– Never install the compressor in the cooling air flow of other machines.
– Provide the supply air openings with adjustable louvres to ensure that the
minimum temperature is not gone below in winter.
– Use of BOGE anti-frost facility.
Ventilation If the following instructions are not observed, the admissible final com-
pression temperature may be exceeded.
In this case, the compressor will switch off automatically.
Attention!
Arrange the compressor intake openings or ducts such, that dangerous
admixtures (e.g. explosive or chemically unstable materials) cannot be
drawn in.
Ventilation openings (free-standing installation)

– Arrange supply air openings close to the floor.
– Arrange exhaust air openings in the ceiling or at the top of the wall.
– The required cross sections for the supply openings (as well as for the
flaps and weather protection grids) are indicated in the table.

Supply and exhaust air ducts

– Ensure that the flow rates in the ducts do not exceed 4 m/s.
– Never position cooling air ducts directly on the compressor.
Always use a compensator to avoid distortion and the transfer of vibrations.
Ventilators
Ensure that the heated exhaust air is not aken in again.
If necessary, the heated air must be extracted by ventilators.
To ensure perfect cooling even at higher temperatures in the summer, the
ventilators must be designed as follows:
– The ventilator capacity must be rated approx. 10 - 15% higher than the
sum of the cooling air quantity required for all machines operated in the
room (VDMA Code of Practice sheet 4363 "Ventilation of compressor
rooms").
– For free-standing installation, the cooling air requirement specified in the
table corresponds to the required ventilator capacity.
Supply air filter

– Equip the compressor with supply air filter mats if the compressor room
is contaminated with dust (option).
Cooling air Please refer to the following table for the cooling air requirement and size of
requirement the supply air openings for your compressor. Ensure that flaps and weather
protection grids have the necessary free cross section. We generally recom-
mend contacting a specialist company for performing the duct construction
work and planning.

E: Using the hot exhaust air for heating
In the winter, the hot exhaust air is used for room heating. In summer it is
directed into the open.
Condensate The air taken in contains water in form of vapour, which turns into conden-
disposal sation during compression.
ATTENTION!
The condensate contains oil. Never lead it into the public sewage system
without prior treatment.
Strictly observe the effluent disposal laws of your local authorities.
Oil-water separator
The BOGE-oil-water-separator separates the oil from the condensate.
The cleaned water may be fed directly into the public sewage system.
The oil is collected in a separate container. Dispose of the oil according to
environmental regulations.
If, due to special operating conditions, the oil should emulsify, use an emul-
sion cracking plant.

Installation 3.3 Installation
General BOGE screw compressor units are supplied ready for connection. Only the
work described in the following paragraphs needs to be carried out during
the installation.
ATTENTION!
Only have the installation work carried out by appropriately trained persons
or specialists.
Prior to delivery, each compressor is subjected to a trail run at the factory.

It is carefully tested and set. However, possible transport damage cannot be
excluded.
– Please inspect the compressor immediately after delivery and direct
damage claims to the last haulier - even when the packing is not dam-
aged! To safeguard claims against the haulier we recommend leaving the
machine, devices and packing material in the same condition as they
were in when the damage was detected.
– Prior to commissioning, check the compressor for external damage.
– Observe the compressor very closely during commissioning and the fol-
lowing trial run.
– If malfunctions occur, switch off the compressor immediately and inform
the BOGE-Service.

Prior to commissioning/start up, check the oil level as described in chapter
6.3.

Installation 3.4 Electrical connection
Electrical connection WARNING: Voltage!

Ensure that work on the electrical equipment of the compressor is only carried
out by authorized electricians.
When connecting to the power supply, observe the valid VDE, DIN and EVU
regulations or the local safety regulations.
Also observe the regulations of your local power supply company regarding
the load rating of your power supply.
Main switch
According to accident prevention regulation VBG 5, §12, the customer is
responsible to provide the following safety measures:
Compressor plants having a drive motor larger than 3 kW and current inten-
sities larger than 16 amperes must be equipped with a lockable main switch
(DIN VDE 0660, ...0105) and series fuses.
Please refer to the technical data (chapter 2.1) for the design and fuse rating.
Rated voltage
The data of your mains (operating voltage, control voltage, type of current,
frequency, ...) must coincide with the data on the type plate on the switch
cabinet.
In the event of deviations, please contact the BOGE service or your supplier.
Connecting the leads

– Check to ensure that the terminals in the switch cabinet are firmly tightened.
If necessary, retighten the screw connections.
– Guide the lead cable through the PG screw connection.
– Connect the leads L1, L2, L3, N, Pe (PEN) to the terminal strip.
A clockwise rotational field must be created.

Prior to any work on the compressor:
– switch off the main switch and secure against unintentional switch-on.
– Check that all electrical components are not under power.
– Depressurize all areas under pressure.
Never omit a single safety step! Otherwise, you will risk injuries due to
restarting, electric shock or self-releasing parts.
WARNING!
When the automatic restart (AWAL) is activated, the compressor will auto-
matically restart following a power failure.
Prerequisite: the mains pressure is lower than the switch-on pressure set on
the operating pressure sensor.

Installation 3.5 Commissioning
Checking the ATTENTION!

rotational direction Always check the rotational direction of the drive motor prior to commission-
ing/initial start up.
Even brief operation in the wrong direction of rotation (more than approx.
5 seconds) may cause total destruction of the air end!
Ensure that the rotational direction coincides with the rotational direction
arrow on the air end.
– Switch on the main switch.
– Switch the compressor on and immediately off again to check the rota-
tional direction.
Changing the rotational direction:

Switch off the main switch and secure against unintentional switching-on.
– Interchange two phases (L1, L2 or L3) in the motor power cable.
– Check rotational direction again.
Opening the stop valve Open ball valve 1 on the compressor delivery.
Checking for leaks Undertake the following to prevent leaks:

– Check screw connection of the lines and retighten, if necessary.
– Check to ensure that the oil filter and oil separator are hand tight seated.
Conduct trail run Switch on the main switch.

– Switch on the compressor using the ON key. The compressor starts.
– The compressor switches off automatically once the switch-off pressure,
factory set on the operating pressure switch, has been reached.
– Check network pressure on control display.
If necessary, reset operating pressure (pressure target value).
(see page 4.13 Autotronic or 4.28 Ratiotronic).
– The compressor is ready for operation.

Installation 3.5 Commissioning
Commissioning Following an extended stoppage of more than 2 months, fill a small amount
following extended of oil in the suction controller prior to starting the compressor.
stoppages
ATTENTION!
Only fill the suction controller with the grade of oil used to operate the com-
pressor.
Never mix different oil grades and brands.

Switch off main switch and secure against unintentional switching-on.
– Unscrew the plug on the suction controller .
– Fill approx. 1/4 l compressor oil into the suction controller.
– Reclose the controller using the plug.
– Turn the air end by hand 5 to 10 times to distribute the oil evenly.

ARS 4.1 The BOGE ARS control concept
These operating instructions contain a description of the Autotronic

and Ratiotronic control system.
General BOGE screw compressors are equipped with the modern ARS control system
concept (Autotronic, Ratiotronic, Supertronic).
One of these control systems will be built into your compressor, depending
on the desired equipment and the monitoring functions.
ARS is an integrated control and monitoring concept, having two objectives:
– Energy savings and thus reduction of ongoing costs
– Prolonging the service life of the compressor due to wear which is as low
as possible
All programmed data is stored in a memory module (EEPROM). Thus the
stored information is even available following a power failure.
Microcontroller The BOGE ARS control system concept dynamically adapts to the respective
operating conditions. A micro-controller assumes the following three tasks:
1. Automatic selection of the most economical operating mode
The micro-controller calculates the optimum operating mode from the
current operating state and a programmed ideal value, also taking into
account the constant compressor system data (e.g. delivery quantity,
receiver volume, motor switching cycles) as well as the current variables
(e.g. compressed air consumption, supply and non-supply times, pressure
increase and decrease speed).
In order to save operating costs, it always strives for the most economical
intermittent operation.
2. Automatic optimization of the motor switching cycles
The micro-controller calculates the optimum number of motor switching
cycles. This protects the drive motor and prolongs the service life of the
plant.
3. Automatic reminder of the maintenance intervals
The microcontroller monitors the maintenance intervals.
Modular design All ARS control systems comprise of standard components which can be
purchased separately. They are also easy to retrofit. In this manner, the
control systems can be optimally adapted to individual customer wishes.
Rapid replaceability of the controls in the event of failures increases the
availability of the compressor. This eliminates time consuming and costly
trouble shooting by specialists.

General The control unit calculates from the current operating data the respective
best operating mode and automatically selects it.
The parameters are adjustable.
In order to prevent unintentional changes to pre-set parameters, these pa-
rameters are codeword-protected.
ATTENTION!
Never change the value of a parameter if you do not know what it means!
This may cause incorrect behaviour of the control unit!
Do not experiment with parameter settings!
Always call BOGE-Service if you are unsure or have any doubts.
Parameterization In general the following is applicable: If a parameterization, as described

Maintenance 6.1 Safety instructions
ATTENTION!
Ensure that maintenance work is ony carried out by specialists or appro-
priately trained person.
– In case of removing any cladding or safety devices prior to starting any
maintenance work, always stop the compressor as described in these
operating instructions. Refit the cladding or safety devices immediately
upon completion of the maintenance work.
– Only use original spare parts, compressor oils and operating materials
released by BOGE for the maintenance work.
– When the automatic restart (AWAL) is activated, the compressor will
start automatically following a voltage loss.
Prerequisite: The line pressure is lower than the switch-on pressure set
on the operating pressure sensor.

Always adhere to the prescribed operating method described below for
all maintenance work. Never omit a single safety step!
Otherwise you will risk injury from restarting, electric shock or parts
which may fly off.
Prior to all maintenance work:

1. Switch off the compressor using the OFF button.
2. Switch off the main switch and secure against unintentional switching
on.
3. Check to ensure that all machine elements are definitely currentless.
4. Separate the compressor from the compressed air network by closing
the ball valve at the compressed air outlet.
5. Vent the compressor.
To this effect open the safety valve on the combined compressed air-
oil receiver as follows:
– Turn the knurled nut counterclockwise until you can feel a resilient
resistance.
– Tun the knurled nut a little further.
Any possibly existing air will escape.
– Once the residual air has completely escaped from the system,
firmly retighten the knurled nut.
6. Remove all safety cladding necessary to perform the maintenance
work.
Once the maintenance work has been concluded:

7. Reattach all removed safety cladding.
8. Open the ball valve at the compressed air outlet.
9. Prior to switching on again, check whether anyone else is working on
the compressor!

Changing the oil Change: – When warning message "8" appears on the control
separator system display (Ratiotronic only).
– After 3000 operating hours,
however, no later than after one year.
If the prescribed maintenance intervals are not observed, the oil sepa-
rators might become blocked. In this case, the differential pressure will
increase until the safety valve blows.


– Unscrew soiled oil separators by hand or use a strap wrench, turning
counterclockwise.
Catch the draining oil and dispose of properly according to environmental
regulations.
– Lightly oil the sealing ring of the new oil filter.
– Screw in new oil separators (Fig. 6.6) by hand, turning clockwise.

You might damage the oil separators or their sealing rings.
A hand tight seating of the oil filter is sufficient.
– Switch on the compressor and heat up to operating temperature.
– Subsequently, check the oil filter for leaks once again and tighten by hand,
if necessary (Procedure as described above).

– Check the oil separators for leaks and tighten by hand, if necessary.
Fig. 6.9:
Changing the oil separator
Oil change Change: – After 9000 operating hours,

however, at the latest after two years.
– With other types of oil e.g., ÖKOKLUB or USDA-H1 or
BOGE oil 3000 PLUS the appropriate oil change intervals
must be complied with.
The service life of the oil, the oil filter and oil separators is reduced under the
following conditions:
– When the compressor is operated at extreme ambient temperatures.
– When the intake air is extremely soiled.

Wartung.pm6.5 - 05/ 2002 - GB
Building up a pressure cushion

The combined compressed air / oil receiver is located at the lowest point of
the system. Therefore, a light pressure cushion (approx. 1.5 bar system
pressure) must be applied to drain the oil. This pressure cushion forces the
oil through the drain hose into a suitable collecting basin.

Draining old oil

– After approx. 2 sec. screw cap nut on the bleed aperture of the mag-
netic valve. (The nut is located in the storage compartment of the switch
cabinet.)

– Remove the blind plug at the oil drain with the tap closed .
– Fit oil drainage hose . (With silenced compressors the hose is located
below the motor-driven rocker dolly switch, with super-silenced compres-
sors in the supply air box.)
– Place the oil drain hose into a suitable container.
– Slowly open the stop valve.
The pressure cushion forces the oil into the container.
– Once the compressed air/oil receiver has been completely drained, close
the stop valve.
– Remove oil drainage hose and replace blind plug together with a new
copper sealing ring.
– Remove the cap nut from the solenoid valve.
– Change oil filter (see page 6.11).
– Change oil separator (see page 6.12).

Filling with new oil:

– Fill up to the edge of the thread of the filling socket (max.) (see page 6.10).
ATTENTION!
Always fill with the same oil type as previously used. Never mix different oil
types and brands.
The oil circuit must be flushed prior to changing the oil type (see page 6.15).
– Conduct trial run.

– Check the oil filters and oil separators for leaks and tighten by hand,
if necessary (see page 6.11 and 6.12).
– Check oil level (see page 6.10).
Top up oil losses, if any.
Flushing the oil circuit Flushing the oil circuit with clean oil becomes necessary:
– when the oil is excessively soiled.
– prior to changing the oil type.
ATTENTION!
To flush out the oil circuit, only use oil of the same type to that which is to be
used later.
– Drain off old oil completely (see page 6.14).
– Leave old oil filter and oil separator in the compressor.
– Fill oil/compressed air receiver with clean oil up to approx. one third of the
total capacity.
– Close oil filling socket.
– Let compressor run for approx. 10 minutes.
– Drain off flushing oil and dispose of it properly.
– Change oil filter and oil separator cartridges (see page 6.11 and 6.12).
– Fill up with oil to the specified level (see page 6.10).

Cleaning the Cleaning: – After 1500 operating hours,

compressed air/oil however, at the latest after one year.
cooling unit
The service life of the compressed air/oil cooling unit depends on the
degree of soiling (dust, oil vapour) of the suctioned cooling air. Extreme
external soiling of the cooling unit leads to an increased temperature
in the oil circuit.

Switch off the main switch and secure it against unintentional switch-on.
– Remove safety warm air hood.
– Pull housing at the front side of the compressor out of the holding device
and put aside.
– Remove accumulated soiling with a fibre brush.
ATTENTION!
Do not use any sharp objects for cleaning!
These could damage the cooling unit!
– Blow down the dirt with compressed air in the opposite direction to the
normal cooling air flow. Vacuum out the dirt using an industrial vacuum
cleaner (see Fig. 6.14).
– Reattach safety warm air hood.
If the cooling unit is excessively soiled (cleaning is no longer possible with

compressed air), have it disassembled and cleaned by BOGE-Service.
