but also in the chemical, food, packaging, brewing, and also in the distilling industries.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Air enters the cylinders through the inlet filter silencer and inlet valve. On the compression stroke, the air
is compressed from itsoriginal volume to a smaller volume, or higher pressure, andthen is pushed out of

we recommend pipingthe air filter to a source of cleaner air or use a special heavy duty filter. If it is found
necessary to install inlet piping, make the line as short and direct as possible and as large, or larger than
the diameter of the inlet connection at the compressor. The inlet piping must increase in diameter for every
50' (15.25 m) of length. If the total length is between 50' (15.25 m) and 100' (30.5 increase
m), the pipe
diameter at the mid-point in the length, i.e., ifthe total length is 80' (24.4 m), increase the pipe diameter at
the 40' (12.2 m) point. Attach the air cleaner to the end of the inlet air line, and if the inlet is piped outdoors,
it should be hooded toprevent the entrance of rain or snow. Fine airborne dust, such as cement and rock

filtration equipment is available from your local Distributor.
A well ventilated location should be selected for this machine when operating in very damp climates or
under conditions of high humidity. These atmospheric conditions are conducive to the formation of water in
the frame, and if adequate operation and ventilation are not provided, rusting, oil slugging and rapid wear
of running parts will result. This is particularly true when operating on very intermittent duty applications.
The unit may be bolted to any substantial, relatively level floor or base. If such a surface is not available,
an adequate base must be constructed. Should a concrete base be necessary, make certain the foundation
bolts are positioned correctly to acceptthe receiver feet, and that these bolts project at least 1" (25.4 mm)
above the surface of the foundation.
THE COMPRESSOR SHOULD NEVER BE OPERATED WHILE MOUNTED TO THE SHIPPING CRATE

electrically. The size of the wire shown in the table above is a safe guide.
If the distance is more than 100 feet (30.5 m), larger wire willprobably be necessary and your electrical
contractor or localelectric company should be consulted for recommendations. The use of too small wire
results in sluggish operation, unnecessary tripping of the overload relays or blown fuses.
Step 6.
FUSES
Fuse failure usually results from the use of fuses of insufficient capacity. If fuses are the correct size and
still fail, check forconditions that cause local heating, such as bent, weakcorroded or fuse clips. Refer to
the table below for recommendations on the proper fuse size to be used.

PRESSURE REGULATION
Allow the air receiver to build up to pressure for which youordered the machine. At this pressure, if the
unit is equipped withAutomatic Start & Stop regulation, the pressure switch should cause the unit to stop.
If the unit is equipped with Constant Speed Control, it should unload (run without compressing air).

fittings must be certified safe for the pressures involved. Pipe thread lubricant is to be used on all threads,
and all joints are to be made up tightly, since small leaks in the discharge system are the largest single
cause of high operating costs. If your compressor runs more than you believe it should, the most likely
cause is a leaky pipe line. Leaks are easily located by squirting
soap and water solution around the joints
and watching for bubbles.

following points when installing the piping between the compressor and the receiver.
!WARNING
1. If possible, run the piping down from the compressor discharge to permit the condensate to drain into the
receiver. If this is not possible, Install a "drain leg" as shown in Figure 2-3. The drain leg should project
down from the compressor discharge and beat least 10" (254 mm) long. Put a d rain valve at the end of
this pipe and drain at least weekly, or as often as necessary.

CONSTANT SPEED CONTROL - Unloads the compressor at apredetermined pressure while the motor
continues to operate.This type of regulation is used when the demand for air is
practically constant at the
capacity of the compressor.
DUAL CONTROL—Permits a manual selection between Automatic Start and Stop Control and Constant
Speed Control, depending upon the air requirements.
Automatic Start and Stop Control is obtained by means of a pressure switch which makes the breaks an
electrical circuit, starting and stopping the driving motor, thereby maintaining the air receiver pressure within

The differential pressure may be increased by screwing the differential adjustment clockwise. Backing off

must be considered when adjusting the switch and compensate for accordingly.

otherwise serious damage will result.
It is also a good practice to monthly blow off the motor windings with a je
accumulation of dirt. An occasional revarnishing of the windings will greatly prolong the life of the motor.
If the motor is located in an atmosphere where it is exposed to appreciable quantities of water, oil, dirt or
fumes, it must be specially constructed.
It is very important that the air inlet filter/silencer be kept clean at all times. A dirty inlet filter reduces the
capacity of the compressor.
!WARNING
The filtering element should be taken out at least once a month and cleaned by vacuuming or washing in
mild detergent and water. Allow to dry and then reinstall.

BREATHER TRAP
INTERCOOLER
The intercooler consists of one or more finned tubes connecting the discharge of the first-stage t
inlet of the second-stage. The compressed air flows through these tubes and its heat is transferred to the
cooling fins, where the air from the belt wheel fan passing over the fins dissipates the heat to atmosphere.

SAFETY VALVE
Safety Valves are designed to protect against damage from over pressure.
!WARNING
If aseparate or detached air receiver is used, a properly rated safety valve must be
installed in the receiver.
A positive air pressure in the distance piece is absolutely vital to insure oil free air from the compressor
discharge. The oil free air pressurizing the distance piece causes a flow from distance
the piece into the

the air in the distance piece being oil free, no oil can enter the compression chamber. This is accomplished
as follows:
MODEL NLH1032
To insure a proper distance pressure on the three-cylinder compressor, an injected air flow from the air
receiver to the distance piece is used.

GENERAL
GENERAL
The maintenance section of this book covers only those operations with which maintenance personnel
may not be too familiar. It is expected that the average mechanic's training and
experience will permit him
to perform the more common maintenance functions without the need for detailed instructions.
To remove and clean a concentric ring valve, observe the following step-by-step procedure:
2. Loosen the valve acorn nuts as shown in Figure 6-1, then take out the air head capscrews and remove
the air head from the cylinder.
3. The valve itself may now be disassembled. To facilitate valvethedisassembly, screw two bolts part
way into the tw t hor e a d e d p o r t s l o c a t e d i n t h e v a l v e s e a t . C l a m pf itrhmelsye i nb oal t w
s ise and
remove the locknut and hex nut. Note the manner in which the valve parts are assembled and replace
them in the same order and position.
NOTE: Handle the valve parts with care. Do not nick, scratch or bend them.

5. Reassemble the valve parts in their proper sequence position.
and Make absolutely certain that the
stop-plate is centered properly on its guide; otherwise, the valve will be
damaged when it is pulled up
tight in the air head. Replace the valve hex nut and washer on the valve bolt.
6. Before replacing the valve in the air head, scrape the shellac
old off the valve bolt steel washer and

tighten it to the lower limit of the torque value, recommended below. Do not over tighten this nut, since
this will distort the springs and plates, causing the valve to leak. After the valve has been replaced in
the air head, make certain that the valve operates freely by lifting at its edges with a knife blade.
7. Replace the air head gasket on the cylinder; then replace the air head. Tighten the air head capscrews
to the torque recommended below and replace the unloader if the unit is so equipped.

To determine the grade of the bolt or capscrew being tightened, use the following information
Grade 2: No markings or vendor identification on the head.
Grade 5: Letter "S" or 3 lines and/or vendor identification on the head.
Grade 8: Letter "V" or 6 lines and/or vendor identification on the head.
When installing new belts, do not pry the belts over the pulley
grooves. The proper method of removing
and installing new beltsis to loosen the anchor screws and the belt tightener screw, Figure 6-2, and push
the motor toward the compressor. Use the tightener screw to adjust belt tension on new belts.
NOTE: The belts must be a matched set to permit equal load distribution.
It is important that the belts be properly adjusted. A belt that toois loose will slip and cause heating and
wear, and a belt that is too tight may overload the bearings. A quick check to determine if belt adjustment is
proper may be made by observing the slack side of the belt for a slight bow when the unit is in operation.
