Snow-LE/LF
1 LEADING PARTICULARS

1.1 General description 1.2 Air flow

Snow-LE/LF are air-cooled, single-stage, single-acting piston
compressors, built for effective working pressures up to 7 bar.
Snow-LE are lubricated compressors; Snow-LF are oilless
compressors which deliver oil-free air.
1.1.1 Build-up (Figs 1.1 up to 1.3)
The Snow-LE/LF compressors include mainly:
- Compressor element
- Air inlet filter (10) and inlet silencer (2)
- Fan (8)
- Air cooler
- Drive motor (5) with motor duct (4)
- Air outlet with pressure gauge (6), safety valve (7) and drain
valve (11).
Air drawn through the motor duct, air filter and inlet silencer
into the cylinders is compressed, then discharged through the
cooler piping and air outlet system.
1.3 Regulating system
A regulating system must be provided by the snowgun
manufacturer.
- Take care not to exceed the maximum working pressure of
7 bar
- The air outlet pipe must not be blocked (blocking the air
outlet pipe will reduce the compressor block lifetime)
- For normal operation, the ambient temperature must be
between –20 degrees Celsius and 5 degrees Celsius.
- If limited to maximum 30 minutes and with the fan cover
removed, test runnings at ambient temperatures up to 20
degrees Celsius are allowed.
- The maximum allowed number of motor starts is 15 per
hour.

4 MAINTENANCE

4.1 Preventive maintenance schedule for the compressor 1)

The schedule contains a summary of the maintenance instructions. Read the respective section before taking maintenance
measures.

When servicing, replace all disengaged packings, e.g. gaskets,O-rings, washers.

The "longer interval" checks must also include the "shorter interval" checks.

Period 2) Running Consult See notes Operation

hours 2) section below table

Notes
1. Maintain the level in the red circle of the sight-glass
2. Wear gloves and safety glasses.
3. For normal operation in clean surroundings. More frequently when operating in dusty environment.

1) Use only authorized parts. Any damage or malfunction caused by the use of unauthorized parts is not covered by Warranty or
Product Liability.
2) Whichever interval comes first. The local Sales Company may overrule the maintenance schedule, especially the service intervals,
depending upon the environmental and working conditions of the compressor.

Snow-SF2/SF4
9 LEADING PARTICULARS

9.1 General description 9.1.2 Build-up

Snow-SF are stationary, single-stage, oilless compressors. They Snow-SF compressors have following main components (Fig.
are air-cooled. The power from the drive motor is transmitted 9.3):
to the compressor element through two belts. - compressor element (3)
- air filter (2)
- drive motor (6)
9.1.1 Compressor element (Fig. 9.1) - air cooler (10) and cooling fan (4)

The compressor element consists of a fixed scroll-shaped
housing and a scroll-shaped rotor. Air enters the compressor
element through inlet opening (1). Once the air is drawn in,
the orbiting scroll (4) seals the inlet opening and forces the air
into a continuously decreasing space. As scroll (4) keeps
orbiting, this process of compression is constantly repeated,
resulting in discharging of oil-free compressed air through outlet
opening (3).
Safety valve (9) protects the compressor against overpressure.
The main components are housed in a bodywork which serves
as silencing hood. The hood is mounted on a frame (12-Fig.
9.4).
9.2 Air flow (Fig. 9.3)
Air is drawn through air filter (2) into compressor element (3)
and is compressed. Compressed air is discharged through air
cooler (10).

9.3 Cooling and condensate drain systems

(Fig. 9.3)

The compressor element (3) is cooled by fan (4). The fan is

mounted on the drive shaft of the compressor element. The
cooling air is blown over the compressor element and air cooler
(10) via duct (5). A ball valve is installed to drain the cooler
manually.

10.1 Dimension drawing (Fig. 10.1)

See page 35

10.2 Installation proposal (Fig. 10.2)

See page 36

10.3 Electrical connections

The electrical installation must correspond to the local codes.

The mains supply and earthing lines must be of suitable size,
see section 15.2

The installation must be earthed and protected by fuses in each

fase. An isolating switch should be installed near the
compressor. 1 Read instruction book before starting
2 Normal operating temperature, below 5 degrees Celsius
3 Maximum 30 minutes of operation above 5 degrees
10.4 Pictographs Celsius 1)
4 Warning, voltage

compressor service life

1. Stop the compressor and close the air outlet valve. Safety precautions
2. Switch off the voltage and disconnect the compressor from The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions,
the mains. including those mentioned in this book.
3. Depressurize the compressor, if applicable.
4. Disconnect the compressor air outlet from the application.
11.1 Initial start-up

1. Close the condensate drain valve.

2. Switch on the voltage. Start and stop the compressor. Check
the drive motor (6-Fig. 9.3) for correct direction of rotation,
which must be counter-clockwise when facing the drive end
shaft of the motor. An arrow is provided on the cooling
duct. If the rotation direction is wrong, switch off the voltage
and reverse two incoming electric lines.

11.2 Starting

1. Check that the condensate drain valve is closed.

2. Switch on the voltage and start the compressor.

Note: The maximum allowed number of compressor starts is

20 per hour.

11.3 Stopping

1. Press the stop button.

2. Switch off the voltage.
3. Open the drain valve.

Footnote chapter 10

1) Test running at ambient temperatures up to 20 degrees Celsius is allowed if limited to 30 minutes.

12 MAINTENANCE
The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this book.

Before starting any repair or maintenance:

1. Switch off the voltage and safeguard against unintentional "switch-on".
2. Isolate the compressor by closing the air outlet valve.

12.1 Compressor drive motor

Refer to the motor data plate. The motor bearings are greased for life.

12.2 Preventive maintenance schedule for the compressor 1)

The schedule comprises a summary of the maintenance instructions. Read the respective section before taking maintenance
measures. The "longer interval" checks must also include the "shorter interval" checks. When servicing, replace all
disengaged packings, e.g. gaskets, O-rings, washers.

Period 2) Running See See notes Operation

Notes:
1. Check more frequently if operating in a dusty atmosphere. Replace a dirty or damaged filter by a new one.
2. Also check the air cooler pipe. If necessary, remove dirt from the finned surface of the pipe by air jet.
3. Consult Atlas Copco.

Footnotes chapter 12

1) Use only authorized parts. Any damage or malfunction caused by the use of unauthorized parts is not covered by Warranty or
Product Liability.
2) Whichever interval comes first. The local Sales company may overrule the maintenance schedule, especially the service intervals,
depending on the environmental and working conditions of the compressor.

13.3 Cooler (10-Fig. 9.3)

Keep the cooler clean to maintain the cooling efficiency. If

necessary, remove the dirt from the finned surface of the cooler
pipe by air jet.

13.4 Safety valve (9-Fig. 9.3)

Operating
Operate the safety valve by unscrewing the knurled cap one or
two turns. Retighten the cap.

Testing
The safety valve must be tested on a separate compressed air
line.

Warning No adjustments of the safety valve are allowed.
