AIR CARE SEMINAR TRAINING
Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction for the proper operation, maintenance,
and servicing of Sullair products. Individual seminars on portable compressors and compressor electrical
systems are offered at regular intervals throughout the year at Sullair’s corporate headquarters training facility
located at Michigan City, Indiana.

Instruction includes training on the function and installation of Sullair service parts, troubleshooting common
faults and malfunctions, and actual equipment operation. These seminars are recommended for maintenance,
contractor maintenance, and service personnel.

assure you that it is operating properly, you will want
controls and indicators—their purpose, location and
to recognize and interpret the readings which will call
use.

4.2 PURPOSE OF CONTROLS


CONTROL OR INDICATOR PURPOSE
OFF/ON Switch The switch is used to engage the engine’s starter and to turn off the
engine. It is also used to energize the compressor’s electrical system.
Voltmeter Monitors the condition of the batteries and the charging circuit. The
normal reading is 24 to 28 volts.
Air Pressure Gauge Continually monitors the pressure inside the receiver tank at various
load and unload conditions.
Engine Water Temperature Gauge Monitors the temperature of the engine water. The normal operating
temperature should read approximately 160ºF to 210ºF (71ºC to 99ºC).
Controller Depicts system related diagnostics. Can be used for system
performance monitoring.
Compressor Discharge Temperature Gauge Monitors the temperature of the air/fluid mixture leaving the compressor
unit. The normal reading should be approximately 210ºF to 250ºF
(99ºC to 121ºC).
Fluid Level Sight Glass Monitors the fluid level in the receiver tank. Proper level is always
visible in the sight glass. Check the level when the compressor is
shutdown.
Receiver Tank Temperature Switch Opens the electrical circuit to shut down the compressor when then
receiver tank temperature reaches 250ºF (121ºC).
Reducing Regulator Valve Provides regulated air pressure to the inlet valve.
START/STOP Valve Provides an air signal to the inlet valve and engine to close or open the
inlet valve.
Minimum Pressure/Check Valve Maintains a minimum of 65 psig (4.5 bar) in the compressor receiver
tank. This valve restricts receiver air discharge from receiver/receiver
tank when pressure falls to 65 psig (4.5 bar). Also prevents back flow
into the receiver tank during upload conditions and after shutdown.
HIGH/LOW Selector Valve Select high pressure 150 psig (10.3 bar) or low pressure100 psig (6.9
bar) at instrument panel to correspond to operator’s needs.
Pressure Relief Valve Opens receiver tank pressure to atmosphere should pressure inside
the receiver tank exceed the pressure relief valve setting.

CONTROL OR INDICATOR PURPOSE


Air Inlet Valve Regulates the amount of air allowed to enter the air inlet. This
regulation is determined by the amount of air being used at the service
line.
Blowdown Valve Vents receiver tank pressure to the atmosphere at shutdown.
Thermal Valve Regulates flow of fluid to and around the fluid cooler. Designed to
maintain a minimum operating temperature; used for fast warm-up at
start-up and to eliminate condensation during operation.
