3. Operating principles
3.1 Main components
The Gardner Denver screw compressor is a single stage screw compressor with oil cooler. The
pressurized air is produced with a screw air end driven by an electric motor. Oil is separated from the
compressed air in an oil separation receiver. The pressurized air and the oil are cooled within separate
cooling circuits.

3.3 Air compressing process
Rotors
In a screw compressor the air is compressed in the air end driven by an electric motor.
The meshing rotors take air in between the ridges as they pass the inlet opening. When the rotors turn, the
connection to the inlet opening closes and the space between the ridges start to decrease. At the end of
the compression phase, the desired pressure has been reached and the connection to the receiver opens.
The air in the air end is cooled by oil that is injected into it. The oil cools also the air end. In addition, the oil
lubricates the bearings and seals the clearances between the rotors and the rotor housing.
7
3.4 Electronic controller
All the compressor settings are made by using the electronic controller, AirSmart™. For detailed
instructions for the controller, please refer to the AirSmart™ Controller User's Manual.
Controller regulates the output of the compressor. The following variables have been set in to the
controller:
• target, unload and load pressures

• service intervals
• programmable I/O
• operational parameters
• alarm and shutdown limits
Electronic controller

3.5 Oil circulation
The mixture of pressurized air and oil mist is ducted from the air end into the Tempest oil-separating
receiver, where the oil is separated from the pressurized air. The separating process has two phases.
Main part of the oil is separated in the cyclone (12), which utilizes the centrifugal effect. The separated oil
flows to the bottom of the Tempest (13), which functions as a receiver. The remainder of the oil is
separated by oil separating cartridges (1). The oil separated in the cartridges, is led back into the
circulation through the oil return pipe (2). The return pipe is provided with an orifice plate (3) that prevents
excess air from recirculating back into the air end.
Note! If the compressor is equipped with oil cooler +W option, see "Oil cooler +W (optional)" on page 43.
The internal pressure forces the oil back to the circulation through the cooler (8) and the oil filter (4). To
prevent condensation, the oil circulation is controlled by a thermostat (5). The thermostat controls the oil
flow to the cooler and to the cooler by-pass.
The forced oil circulation is maintained by the pressure difference between the receiver and the air end. To
guarantee oil circulation whenever the compressor produces pressurized air, the discharge valve (6)
prevents the receiver pressure from dropping below the set minimum value (4 bar).
Oil circulation
3.5.1 Pressurized air circuit
The pressurized air is led through the discharge valve (6) to the aftercooler (7), where the temperature of
the air drops. Most of the water in the cooled pressurized air is removed by the water separator (9) or the
dryer. The water in the water separator is released through the drain (10).
The internal system is protected against overpressure with a pressure relief valve (11). It opens at a certain
pressure and prevents the receiver pressure from rising dangerously high. The system is also protected
electronically by the controller.
9
3.6 Air output regulating system
The purpose of the regulating system is to adjust the output of the pressurized air according to the
demand. It also cuts the power consumption for each cubic meter of pressurized air as low as possible.
3.6.1 Operation of the compressor
When the compressor is started, the inlet valve stays closed until the star/delta sequence has been carried
out. After this the inlet valve opens and the compressor starts producing compressed air.
First the internal system of the compressor is pressurized up to 4 bars in order to ensure proper oil
circulation in the system and the cooling. When a pressure of 4 bars or a pressure higher than the network
pressure has been reached, the discharge valve opens and lets the pressurized air flow to the compressed
air network.
When the pressure of the compressed air network reaches the unload pressure limit, simultaneously the
inlet valve closes and the blowdown line for compressed air opens. Thus the compressor is unloading.
After the unload period the compressor stops. Compressor stays on standby, ready to start again
immediately when the air demand exists again.
3.6.2 Emergency Stop
Using the Emergency Stop button causes simultaneously inlet valve to close, blowdown valve to open and
all the motors to stop. In order to restart the compressor, the Emergency Stop button must be retracted and
all the possible fault conditions must be cleared from the controller.
Note! See the Airsmart™ Controller User’s Manual for more details.
3.6.3 Operation of the compressor after power trip-off
If the compressor has had a power trip-off, it needs to be started again manually. Note! If the automatic
start after power failure is activated, the compressor will start automatically after a set time. The
recommended time is 30 sec. When the compressor starts again after a failure or a power trip-off, it
operates as described in "Operation of the compressor" on page 10.
In multi-compressor installations the restart delays must be set in steps in order to avoid simultaneous
starts of compressors that may collapse the electrical supply network.
For multicompressor installations, please contact an authorized distributor of Gardner Denver.
Note! See the Airsmart™ Controller User’s Manual for more details.
10
3.7 Compressor running loaded
The solenoid valve Y1 (2) controls the inlet valve (1) and the solenoid valve Y2 (3) controls the blowdown.
The solenoid valves are presented as energized in the picture.
Compressor running loaded
When the compressor is running loaded, the pressure line through the solenoid valve Y1 has been closed
and the inlet valve has opened. The solenoid valve Y2 has closed the pressure line from the receiver to the
blowdown line. The compressor is producing pressurized air.
Control components
1 Inlet valve Valve for output control
2 Solenoid valve Y1 Controls the inlet valve
3 Solenoid valve Y2 Empties the receiver
4 Pressure transducer P1 Measures the net pressure
5 Vacuum switch S5 Indicates the pressure drop of air filter
6 Temperature sensor T1 Measures the discharge temperature
7 Check valve Does a partial blowndown to the air inlet
8 Pressure gauge Indicates the pressure in the receiver

4. Storing, transporting and installing
4.1 Storing the compressor
If the compressor is stored for a long period of time, the stockroom must be dry and warm.
If the compressor has been stored without use for over a year, please contact an authorized distributor of
Gardner Denver before start-up.
4.2 Moving the compressor with a fork lift truck
Special caution is adviced during lifting and transporting the compressor. Check the centre of gravity from
the Dimensional drawings of the compressor.
• Primarily lift the compressor so that the right side, looking at the controller’s side, leans against
the fork lift truck (1).
• In narrow places lift from the controller’s side (2).
Moving with a fork lift truck

4.3 Installing
The compressor may be equipped with transportation supports. Remove the supports according to
instruction labels and/or separate instructions delivered with the compressor.
4.3.1 Installing location
1. The compressor must be installed on an even surface. Take into account the compressor's
weight, see the Technical data. Observe the need of draining for the condensate water. The
drain could be an oil separating well or a separate container.
The condensate water contains oil. Observe the local environmental regulations.
2. See the Dimensional drawings for the required minimum distances to walls and other
machines. Make sure that there is enough space for future services and repairs. Take also into
account the use of lift devices.
3. Make sure the compressor room is properly ventilated. The cooling air temperature must be
between 40° C and 0° C. Prevent recirculation of the cooling air. If the compressor is provided
with air ducts, observe the required air volume and the maximum pressure loss of the ducting.
For more details, see the Technical data and "Ventilation of the compressor room" on page 16.
The possibility to clean the coolers should also be taken into account.
Note! If a 13 bar compressor is installed in ambient temperature of over 35° C with high humidity, please contact an
authorized distributor of Gardner Denver for further instructions.
In the case of an air cooled compressor, almost the whole compressor input power is transferred to the
cooling air.
4.3.2 Electrical connections
The electrical connections must be made according to the IEC standards. All local safety regulations must
also be observed.
Make sure that the operating voltage is correct. The voltage must be as rated, ± 5 %. Check that each
phase has an equal voltage.
The motor has built-in thermistors to protect it.
Connect the power supply cable to the main switch of the compressor. Observe the power and voltage
requirements, see the Electrical drawings and Technical data.
If the compressor is equipped with an integrated dryer, a separate 230V supply must be connected to the
electric box. For more details, see the Electrical drawings and Technical data.
The customer must provide supply cable short circuit protection with fuses or motor circuit breakers. See
the table for the recommended fuses and circuit breakers for Gardner Denver BL-compressors with 400
V 50 Hz power supply. The manufacturer of the circuit breakers, mentioned in the table, is Schneider
Electric. Equivalents may also be used.

distributor of Gardner Denver.
1. Install the water separator.
2. Install the electric cable to the timer, which is fastened on the water separator’s solenoid valve.
3. Adjust the timer intervals according to the ambient temperature and humidity of the operating
site. The timer can be set to ON position for 2 to 40 seconds and to OFF position for 0,5 to 45
minutes. The recommended intervals are 2 sec ON and 1min OFF.
4. Install a shut-off valve between the compressor and the network for maintenance purposes.
Observe the minimum size of the network main pipe, see the Technical data. Use a flexible
hose to connect the compressor to the network. The hose and the shutt-off valve are not
included in the delivery.
If a piston type compressor is connected to the network, a pressurized air container must be installed
between the piston compressor and the screw compressor. The container is not necessary if the volume of
the network between them is big enough. For more information, please contact an authorized distributor of
Gardner Denver.
5. Connect a water drain hose from the compressor's water separator to an oil separating well or
a separate container.
Do not install a check valve after the compressor.
Make sure that the condensate water does not flow back to the compressor from the network.

5. Operation
5. Operation
5.1 First start of the compressor
Make sure that all the possible transportation supports are removed before starting the compressor.
Check the correct alignment of the belts before start-up. For more information, see "Replacing the belts"
on page 31.
The start-up must be made by qualified personnel.
1. Check that there is a required amount of oil in the receiver. For more details, see "Adding oil
and oil change" on page 24 and "Oil recommendations" on page 41.
2. Open the network shut-off valve.
3. Turn the main switch on and press the STOP/RESET button of the controller.
4. See the arrows on the belt guard for the correct direction of rotation.
5. Check the correct direction of rotation of the air end before start-up. It is possible to do with the
controller’s Motor Jog function. For more information on Motor Jog function, see the
Adjustment Menus in the Airsmart™ Controller manual. If the direction of rotation is not correct,
change the supply phase order.
The direction of rotation can also be determined by starting the compressor without belts. Stop
the compressor immediately by pressing the Emergency Stop button, see "Emergency Stop"
on page 21. If the direction of rotation is correct, install the belts.
Wrong direction of rotation will damage the air end.
The air end's direction of rotation must be checked every time the supply or motor cables are loosened or
reconnected.
6. Check Target, Unload and Load pressures and adjust if needed. See "Setting the operating
pressure" on page 18 and the Airsmart™ Controller manual for more details.
7. Start the compressor by pressing the RUN button.
Do not use the shut-off valve to control the air flow to the pressurized air network. The misuse of the shut-off
valve will cause rapid blow down and high consumption of oil.

All adjusting and repair work on the pressure relief valve must be done by a qualified mechanic. Observe the
local regulations.
The opening pressure of the pressure relief valve must be tested in a separate pressurized air line. The
pressure relief valve has been tested at the manufacturer's site before shipping out the compressor. If the
valve has been replaced, it needs to be tested for proper operation. This procedure can be performed only
by a qualified mechanican.
The operation of the valve can be tested by turning the cap (1) counter-clockwise 1 to 2 turns. Always
tighten up the pressure relief valve cap properly to avoid damage caused by vibration.
Testing of the pressure relief valve
6.15 Testing the over temperature shutdown
The over temperature shutdown can be tested by blocking the cooling air inlet or outlet of the compressor.
This will result a rise in the discharge temperature of the compressor.
The temperature alarm light must go on at programmed alarm temperature, which is by default 105 °C.
The compressor must stop at + 115 °C.
Note! The alarms have a short delay time. The default value is 30 seconds. Immediate stop will occur at 115 °C.

6.18 Oil recommendations
These oil recommendations are for Gardner Denver screw compressors in industrial use.
6.18.1 Recommended lubricant
Gardner Denver compressors are factory filled with AEON lubricants. These lubricants are formulated to
the highest quality standards and are factory authorized, tested and approved for use in rotary screw
compressors. AEON lubricants are available through your authorized Gardner Denver compressor
distributor.
6.18.2 Oil specifications
The recommended compressor lubricants are:
• Gardner Denver AEON 3000 (type F 2105). Factory first fill.

• Gardner Denver AEON 6000 FG
• Gardner Denver AEON 9000 SP

≥ 93 ° C 500 h 1 000 h 2 000 h
Different running temperatures of the compressor have been taken into consideration in the controller
software. See the Airsmart™ Controller User’s Manual for more details.
Specific AEON lubricants are recommended for use in this equipment. Other lubricants will cause:
• shortened life time of oil filter, oil separators and oil

• varnishing and blockage of oil circuit
• increased oil consumption
• excessive oil carryover and compressor damage
Do not mix different types of oil.
Note! If wrong oil type has been used or oil circuit is varnished, please contact an authorized distributor of Gardner
Denver for oil circuit cleaning instructions.
42
7. Oil cooler +W (optional)
7.1 Oil circulation
The internal pressure forces the oil back to the circulation through the watercooled cooler (14) and the oil
filter (4). Compressor’s running temperature is adjusted by thermostat valve (15) located in the water
circuit. If the cooling efficiency of the water cooler is insufficient, the oil flows through the separate 3-way
thermostat valve (5) into the air cooled oil cooler (8).
The forced oil circulation is maintained by the pressure difference between the receiver and the air end. To
guarantee oil circulation whenever the compressor produces pressurized air, the discharge valve (6)
prevents the receiver pressure from dropping below the set minimum value (4 bar).
Oil circulation
7.1.1 Pressurized air circuit
The pressurized air is led through the discharge valve (6) to the aftercooler (7), where the temperature of
the air drops. Most of the water in the cooled pressurized air is removed by the water separator (9) or the
dryer. The water in the water separator is released through the drain (10).
The internal system is protected against overpressure with a pressure relief valve (11). It opens at a certain
pressure and prevents the receiver pressure from rising dangerously high. The system is also protected
electronically by the controller.
43
7.2 Running temperature adjustment
The running temperature of the compressor is adjusted with the water thermostat. The thermostat is
delivered with factory settings. Tune the running temperature gradually to the desired value. Wait for action
and readjust the value, if needed.
When adjusting the running temperature, take into account that the difference between the inlet air
temperature and the running temperature must be between 50 °C and 60 °C. For example, if the inlet air
temperature is 35 °C, the minimum running temperature should be 85 °C.
Use the maximum temperature difference (60 °C), when operating at high pressure (> 10 bar), in high
humidity (> 80 %) and high ambient temperature (> 35 °C).
The running temperature should be determined, when the compressor is running with full load and with
normal pressure. When the compressor is unloading or lower pressures are used, the running temperature
decreases.
Too low running temperature can cause water condensate problems and the oil can mix with water causing
oil separator or air end failure.
Too high running temperature increases oil consumption.
