Main Air Compressor Overhaul Plan
Air Compressor Location: Top Floor of E/R, behind the AC compressor plant, alongside Service
Air Reservoir.
Suspected Problems: Air Compressor (P) can’t build sufficient pressure in due time. Possible
problems
1. Air cooler Dirty.
2. 1* stage Delivery valve/2™ stage suction valve/2" stage delivery valve leakage. Dirty
valves due to carbon deposition.
3. Incorrect bumping clearance.
Air Compressor (S), when running, found traces of Lubrication oil in system. Possible problems —
1. Piston ring clearance increased, blow-past occurs.
2. Excessive lubrication in valves.
3. Air Drier efficiency reduces.
Procedure:
. Electrically isolation of the system, Breaker shut off.
. Air outlet valve closing.
. Air Suction filter removal, cleaning.
._ Intercooler and Aftercooler removal, cleaning.
. 1* stage head assembly removal, valve removal, checking for damage and cleaning,
Bumping clearance checking and correcting.
. 1* stage piston removal, checking for damage and piston ring correct clearances.
"4 stage valve removal, checking for damage and cleaning.
2™ stage piston removal, checking for damage and piston ring correct clearances.
. Sump cover opening, draining of oil and cleaning, checking bearing condition.
10. Compressor driving motor condition and alignment check, bearing condition check.
