2.3. General descriptions

The Equipment produces compressed air.
The Equipment must be used only:
– for the intended use
– and in a safe environment.
Situations, that can affect the safety, must be immediately rectified. While the error remains, the
Equipment cannot be used.
Operation mode
Compressed Air is produced by drawing air in from the environment or through an air supply
channel (from outside of the building). The air is drawn in by the air end and the air filter as well as
by the suction controller/suction valve. In the air end the air will be compressed by two
interdependent screw-shaped rotors. The oil is injected into the compressor chamber. The oil is
used for cooling, lubricating, protection of metal contacts of the rotors and for sealing of the rotors in
the air end. The compressed air, after the air end will be mixed with oil and flow through the outlet in
the oil tank. Large quantities of the oil are immediately removed in the lower part of the oil tank
located directly in the oil circuit. The compressed-air oil mixture in the upper part of the oil tank
passes through the separator vessel into the oil filter in which the oil is removed from the
compressed air by filtration. The compressed air is led through a cooler to the compressed air outlet
and the residual oil is returned from the filtration back through the scavenge line into the oil circuit.

A compressed air connection must be provided by the user.
Also refer to Appropriate use [ 25 ]
2.4. Use of the machine

In this chapter, the intended use of the Equipment is described.

Safety instructions for decommissioning, storage and disposal
DANGER
There is a risk to life when touching energized parts. Electrical
components that are inserted can inadvertently cause movements and
injuries.
a.) Switch off the system before maintenance and secure it against
accidental restart.

DANGER

a.) Disconnect the components completely from the power supply

before working on these components. Allow 3-10 minutes to
ensure that the internal capacitors are completely discharged
WARNING
b.) Wear protective glasses.
WARNING
Danger to life by a liquid jet emerging under high pressure
In the case of defective hoses, tubes or components, a liquid jet can
escape under high pressure. The liquid jet can lead to serious injuries
and death.
a.) Never place objects in the way of the liquid jet. Keep persons out of
danger. In case of accidental contact with the liquid jet, first-aid
measures must be taken and seek medical advice immediately.
b.) Immediate emergency stop. If necessary, initiate further measures to
reduce the pressure and stop the liquid jet.
c.) Take out and dispose of leaking liquids properly
d.) Repair defective components immediately.

WARNING
Risk of injury from hot materials

Operating fluids can reach hot temperatures during operation. Skin contact
with hot materials causes serious skin burns.
a.) Always wear heat-resistant protective clothing and protective gloves

when carrying out any work with fluids.
b.) Before any work with fluids, check that they are not hot. If necessary,
wait until they have cooled down.
10.1 Temporary Decommissioning

When taking the unit out of service for an extended period, the machine should be carefully shut
down according to the following methods, considering the season and humidity in the
manufacturing plant/compressor house
CAUTION
Machine damage due to corrosion

Store the machine away from moisture and in a frost-free environment
Close the shut-off valve of the compressor in the customer's compressed air network. The
protective cover / panels of the machine must be closed to prevent the penetration of dirt and
moisture.
NOTE
Prevention of condensation during temporary standstill.
If the machine remains at its place of use during the downtime period,
condensation can be prevented by operating the compressor approximately
every 2 weeks for a period of 30 minutes.
Restart after Downtime

Proceed to restart the equipment after downtime as during first commissioning.
