LUBRICATING OIL RECOMMENDATIONS
FOR AJAX ENGINES - COMPRESSORS
GENERAL
1.1 The lubrication of Ajax equipment requires the use of premium quality lubricating oils designed
specifically for natural gas 2-cycle engine - compressor service, This standard describes oils which
have proven successful in field use,
1.2 Customers operating engines with exhaust catalyst systems, fuels with high sulfur contents, landfill
‘gas, unusual fuels or non-traditional applications should contact Ajax Engineering for lubricant and
‘maintenance recommendations.
1.3. Recommendations for compressor cylinders and piston rod packing are found in Engineering Standard
ES-1002.
QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
2.1 Satisfactory oil quality is the responsibility of the refiner, blender or rebrander. Only reputable
‘companies with proper service organizations should be used as suppliers.
2.2 Cooper Energy Services does not guarantee the quality or performance of lubricating oils.
2.3 Cooper Energy Services does not endorse particular brands of oil. For customers convenience,
{information on oils by brand name is maintained by Cooper Energy Services. Customers are invited
to advise Ajax Engineering or service representatives what brands of oils ate preferred. Cooper
Energy Services can then cite the oils which have given satisfactory service in similar applications.
GENERAL SPECIFICATION:
3.1. A general description of oils suitable for use in Ajax equipment is an ashless oil specifically formulated
for 2-cyele natural gas engines with the following properties:
3.2 Physical Properties:
‘Viscosity Index: 70 Minimum ‘ASTM D2270
Flash Point: | 400°F (204°C) Minimum | ASTM D92
Pour Point: 10°F (12°C) Maximum | ASTM D97
3.3. Ash Level: Ashless oils with a sulfated ash content of up to 0.1% maximum by ASTM D 874 are
preferred. Oils with ash levels up to 0.8% may be used, but they may cause combustion chamber

Cooper-Bestemer Reciprocating Products Division Engineering Standards
3.4. Viscosity Requirements: @
Ajax equipment uses a splash lubrication system to lubricate the compressor crosshead. Lubricating
oil must be sufficiently fluid at the ambient temperature in order to lubricate the crosshead properly.
Multigrade oils may be used to provide proper lubrication at low temperatures. The following chart
should be used to select the proper viscosity grade for the lowest ambient temperature expected.

4.1. If frequent cold weather starts are necessary, contact your local Aftermarket sales office for information
about heated prelube systems for your engine.
4.2. The following procedures are recommended to warm the engine and oil in cold weather to prevent damage
due to insufficient oil flow. Starting the engine and allowing it to run with the oil too cold to flow will
result in severe engine damage.
4.2.1 Units Down Less Than 5 Hours:
4.2.1.1 For units that have been down less than 5 hours and the ambient temperatures have been
above 40°F, idle (minimum 300 RPM) the unit for 20 minutes, then run 15 minutes with
a light load before fully loading the unit
4.2.1.2 For units that have been down less than 5 hours and the ambient temperatures have been
40°F or below, idle (minimum 300 RPM) the unit for 30 minutes, then run 30 minutes
with a light load before fully loading the unit.
4.2.2 Units Down More Than 5 Hours:
4.2.2.1 The following procedure is for a unit that has been down more than five hours. This
procedure will allow the unit time for thermal expansion in order to maintain sufficient
Tunning clearances.

e TRIMMING SUPERIOR AND AJAX COMPRESSORS
FOR SOUR GAS APPLICATIONS
IN LUBRICATED SERVICE
1.0 PURPOSE
1.1 Todefine and clarify the compressor design criteria to be used in applying compressors in
sour gas service to prevent the occurrence of sulfide stress corrosion cracking and untimely
failure of compressor components,
1.2 To establish compressor design criteria that follows the guidelines of API 11P and NACE
‘MRO175 for sour gas service.
1.3. Toestablish Ajax and Superior Packaging design criteria that follows the giridelines of API
1P and NACE MRO175.
1.4 To establish and define different levels of protection depending upon the customer's
requirements.
14.1 The standard protection level will be per guidelines established by API 11P and
described in Section 4.0.
1.42 For more rigid protection requirements the guidelines used will be NACE MRO175
‘and described in Section 5.0. This stricter protection may be needed to comply with
stricter regulatory controls or customer requirements.
143 Since the customer knows the application details of his process much more
thoroughly than Ajax-Superior, the customer may determine that higher levels of
HSS trim are required and opt to buy those. Ajax-Superior will make every effort to
accommodate those special requirements.
20 APPLICATION
21 These guidelines apply only to lubricated compressor units; requirements will be different
on a non-lube compressor and will be decided on an individual basis.
2.2 Section 4.0 designates the trim requirement when units are designed to the guidelines of API
uP.
+ Section 4.1 for H.S concentrations up to and including 2% by volume and apply to Ajax and
Superior model compressors including RAM and JOY.
+ Section 4.2 for ELS concentrations between 2 - 5% (Level 1-11P) and apply only to Ajax and
Superior model compressors including RAM.
+ Section 4.3 for H,S concentrations greater than 5% (Level 2-11P) and apply only to Ajax and
Superior model compressors including RAM.

@ 33 Responsibilities of the customer:
33.1 To advise Ajax-Superior Sales and Marketing when the recommended trim
requirements in this specification are not considered adequate and to negotiate what
is required prior to order release.
33.2 To maintain the sour gas compressors in accordance with the standards set herein
and to adhere to the particular minimum lubrication recommendations specified.
33.3 To assure that maintenance and operating procedures are well understood and
followed and that all required safety training and safety procedures for handling sour
gas have been addressed. Those safety procedures must be enforced for all persons
working at or visiting the unit site.
40 STANDARD TRIM REQUIREMENTS:
Unless otherwise required by specific customer requirements, sour gas units will be trimmed using
the guidelines of the latest edition of API 11P.
Exceptions to this can occur on an individual basis when either high H,S levels exist or other
constituents are present which affect the trim.
4.1 Hydrogen sulfide (H,S) concentrations up to and including 2% by volume.
4.1.1 For any concentration of HS below .005% (50 ppm) no special requirements are
necessary relative to the trimming of the equipment.
e 4.1.2 For any concentration of H,S from .005% (50 ppm) up to and including 2% by volume
in lubricated service special trim will not be required. Standard material is acceptable
and special lubrication practices are recommended.
4.13 The frame lubricant used must have a total base number (TBN) of 15 or higher to help
prevent the lubricant from turning acid and damaging bearings and bushings. This
alkalinity must be maintained during operation in the machine by appropriate timely
makeup or complete oll changes. At no time should the lubricant TBN be less than
approximately 30% of the original TBN number.
4.14 The frame lubricant must meet or exceed the requirements of MIL-L-2104B,
‘Supplement No. 1.
4.15 A complete oil analysis program on the frame lubricant is required to determine
proper oil change intervals as well as to monitor the condition of the lubricant and the
‘unit.
4.16 Compressor cylinder lubricants must adhere to the requirements of Ajax-Superior
Engineering Standard ES1002 for Superior models and ESS-L-811 and ESS-L-168 for
Ajax models. Viscosities are to be on the high side of the pressure conditions
normally required and a 3 to 8% compounding with acidless tallow (similar to steam
cylinder oils) is also required.

Installation of Sheave and Flywheel
This bulletin applies to all Ajax models 2201, 2202, 2801, 2803, & 2804. The flywheels and sheaves of
these AJAX models are installed with a RINGFEDER locking device, which is inserted over the hub of
the flywheel (or sheave) and locks them to the crankshaft. The special procedures which must be
followed for installation and removal are as follows:
Installation
1. Clean the flywheel (or sheave) hub, bore and mating diameter on the crankshaft. Surfaces must be
dry and free of any burrs, rust or lubricants.
2. Remove RINGFEDER (collar, inner ring and locking screws) from shipping container. Check if
supplied locking screw threads, screw head bearing area, and the taper of the inner ring are
lubricated. If not, lubricate them with a molybdenum disulfide grease, such as MolykoteGn Paste or
similar.
3. Slide Half Shrink Disk (collar and inner ring) over hub projection and push it to required position.
‘The hub outside diameter may be greased.
When retrofitting ringfeder on a keyed shaft, ensure inner ring split is 180° from shaft keyway.
4, Put the locking screws with hardened washers through the web clearance holes and screw them into
the corresponding collar holes, finger tight. See Figure 1:
‘© Figure1
Collar
Crankshaft
5. Slide hub over shaft to desired position.
6, Take any 3 or 4 locking screws equally spaced and snug them up to establish a parallel or
perpendicular position of the Shrink Disk collar relative to the hub web or shaft, respectively. This
will seat the collar on the taper of the Inner ring and avoid cocking of the collar.
Page 1 of3 Released: 17 October 1906‘ie: naatation Of Shaeve And Eijwos!
7. Using a torque wrench, tighten all locking screws gradually (no more than 1/2 turn on each screw at
one time) and all the way around, in either a clockwise or a counterclockwise sequence (not in
diametrically opposite sequence). Several passes are required until all screws are torqued to the
specified tightening torque. See Table 1: @
Table 1

BM 1878-E-+1 2808
BM11878-E-2 2804
8. Check and make sure that no screw will tun anymore by applying specified tightening torque (see
Table 1). Only then is the installation completed.
9. After final tightening of screws, check flywheel run-out. See Figure 2 for maximum tolerances. If
run-out exceeds maximum, loosen all socket head screws and tap flywheel into position using a soft
hammer on wood block. Retighten screws following same sequence as before, and check that run-
out is within tolerance.
a TAR. © Figure?
020" T..R.—>||
Removal
1. Gradually release locking screws all the way around. Initially each screw should be released about a
quarter of a turn only. Thus tilting and jamming of the collar will be avoided.
DO NOT remove locking screws completely at this time, otherwise collar may spring off.
2. Any rust formed adjacent to hub must be removed first. Once the screws are loose, pull hub from e
shaft.

Keyless Flywheel Installation and Ignition Timing
This procedure applies to all Ajax models 2200 and 2800 series Ajax engines. It covers the installation of
the keyless ringfeder locking device fitted on flywheels on 2200 and 2800 series engines. The procedure
explains the method used to find top dead center (TDC) and proper ignition timing of the engine.
Installation
1. Stand the flywheel up on its edge, allowing access to both sides of the flywheel.
/\Caut on’
Firmly secure the flywheel to prevent it from falling over.
2. Remove the rust inhibitor paper from the inside of the machined split ring on the ringfeder. Remove
ringfeder (collar, inner ring, and locking screws) from shipping container. Verify that the supplied
locking screw threads, screw head bearing area, and the taper of the inner ring are lubricated. Ifnot,
lubricate with molybdenum disulfide grease, such as Molykote GN paste or equivalent.
3. Place the green ringfeder and split ring assembly on the machined diameter of the flywheel.
4, The bolts to be used on the ringfeder are metric. A 16 mm (FWF2500-1600) hardened flat washer is
required for every bolt. Start each bolt into the ringfeder, but DO NOT TIGHTEN.
Collar
Inner Ring
Crankshaft
5. Usea fine file or emery cloth to remove any burrs from the flywheel and crankshaft, cleaning both
for assembly.
6. Coat the flywheel and crankshaft sparingly with engine oil. The flywheel to crankshaft fit is between
.001”-.003". Do not over-lubricate.
Step 6 should only be performed during initial engine assembly. Do not lubricate on field units.
7. Carefully place the flywheel on the end of the crankshaft. Do not bump the crank as this will create
a burr that can impede installation. Push the flywheel evenly onto the crankshaft until the face of the
Paget of 4 Released: 6/8/99esseo6o
Tie: Keyless Flywheel instalation And Timing
flywheel and the end of the crankshaft are even.
Do not wiggle the flywheel inlout or try to turn the flywheel onto the crankshaft! It will create heat o
and possibly gall the surface of the crankshaft.
8. After the flywheel is installed, snug several of the bolts in a criss-cross pattern to lock the flywheel to
the crankshaft.
9. Remove the crosshead side access door from power cylinder one.
10, Set the timing pointer on the ignition bracket, allowing 1/8” clearance from the flywheel. Adjust the
pointer until it is located in the middle of vertical slot on the bracket.
Finding TDC and Timing Degree Marks
11. Place a4” bar or equivalent between the end of the crosshead and the pack flange. Bar the engine
over clockwise until the bar stops against the packing. Hold the flywheel in this position, keeping
the crosshead against the bar.
12. Mark the flywheel on the outer diameter (O.D.) with an ink marker at the pointer location. This is,
“Temporary Mark #1”.
13, Remove the tension on the bar in the crosshead and remove.
14, Rotate the engine clockwise until is has passed TDC far enough to re-insert the bar.
15, Reinsert the bar and rotate the engine counter-clockwise until the bar stops the crosshead against the
packing. Hold the flywheel in this position.
16. Mark the flywheel on the O.D. with an ink marker at the pointer location. This is “Temporary Mark
2”,
17. Release the tension from the bar and remove. Rotate the engine to allow access to both of the tempo- 6
rary marks.
18. Measure the distance between the marks. Divide the distance by two and, using an ink marker, cre-
ate a third mark equidistant between the two marks. This will be “Temporary Mark #1”. Mark T
represents the Top Dead Center (TDC) of the crankshaft.
‘You can verify the position of the TDC mark by measuring the distance between marks #1 and T, then
marks #2 and T. These distances should be equal.
It is now necessary to add the ignition timing mark. Verify that the ignition is properly set. All 2200
and 2800 engines use a 48” diameter flywheel. This means that:
3° = 114" Flywheel O.D. distance
9° = 3X" Flywheel O.D. distance
11° = 4.5/8" Flywheel OD. distance
20. Using one of the above distances, create a temporary mark on the flywheel to represent either 3°, 9°
‘or 11° (depending on model) before TDC or clockwise from the T mark on the flywheel.
21. Rotate the engine so that the timing mark is aligned with the flywheel pointer. This sets the crank-
shaft in the general range of normal ignition timing.
Use the nut and stud expanders to lock and hold the crankshaft in position. These should be
installed between the sheave and end cover. See Figure 2. This picture shows the method of locking,
the crankshaft used during engine assembly. Alternate methods of locking are acceptable for field ®
tallation.
23. Check that the timing mark is still aligned with the flywheel pointer. As a double check, verify that

AJAX LOW EMISSIONS ENGINES
AJAX JET CELL OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
ABSTRACT
The jet cell concept is required for low emission or emission reduction engines. The high-
energy torch issuing from the pre-chamber allows the main chamber to be operated with a
leaner mixture and consistently ignited, as compared to a conventional spark plug
ignition of a lean mixture.
Also, the jet cell is applied to units to improve combustion stability and improve fuel
consumption when operating at variable speeds and reduced torque. This paper describes
the jet cell operation and general maintenance procedures relating to AJAX Low
Emissions Two-Cycle Engines.
‘AETCELL OPERATION
‘The jet cell, or pre-combustion chamber, is a unit which is installed in the cylinder head.
‘The nozzle end is designed with a specific volume and has a communicating angled exit
orifice. A spark plug for ignition and a fuel admission check valve complete the
necessary operational components.
Pilot fuel headers supply fuel to each admission check valve. The supply to the header is
taken prior to the governor regulated fuel valve, filtered, and the pressure regulated with
an additional regulator.
The ignitor fuel pressure is thus regulated manually according to site conditions.
For one cycle of operation, as the piston comes up on compression, the pressure within
the cylinder is lower than the pilot gas pressure and fuel is admitted into the cell. When
1 Revised 07/98ESs-L-981
AJAX LOW EMISSIONS ENGINES
the pressure within the cylinder becomes greater than the fuel pressure, then the pilot @
check valves close.
The main fuel valve admits fuel into the cylinder per the designed timing. Ignition occurs
within the jet cell and the rich fuel mixture ignites. The pressure rise caused by this
energy release forces the burning mixture to exit through the nozzle orifice across the top
of the piston in the main combustion chamber, igniting the main combustible charge.
IGNITION TIMING
In standard spark ignited engines, the spark plugs ignite the charge and a progres
flame front occurs within the combustion chamber. Due to the time required for this
flame propagation, the ignition timing is approximately 9°-12° before top dead center
@IDO).
With the jet cell, a torch of fire emitting from the exit orifice penetrates into the fueV/air
mixture within the main combustion chamber. The mixture is ignited uniformly by this
higher energy source, which promotes faster burning. For this reason, the ignition timing
is set at 3° BTDC.
For an engine operating at 440 rpm, this sequence of fuel admission, ignition, etc., occurs
7.3 times per second, 440 times per minute, 26,400 times per hour, 663,600 times per day
(24 hrs), and 30 days of operation would equal 19,008,000 times. e
MAINTENANCE
‘The jet cell, when installed into the cylinder head, has a round Armco iron gasket which
acts as a fire seal; a graphoil seal employed as a bottom water seal, and an ‘O” ring as the
top water seal.
The unit is held in place with a two-bolt flange and torqued to 70 ft-Ibs.
If acell is removed from the head, it is important that the access hole for the cell is clean
and free of any scale build-up. New gaskets and seals should be installed and the unit
properly torqued. A locating dowel is used to assure proper orientation of the exit orifice
of the cell in relation to the main combustion chamber.
SPARK PLUGS
Cooling of the spark plug is accomplished primarily through the spark plug gasket
seating surface and the threads. These areas within the cell have thin metal sections and
are surrounded with engine coolant.
In service, the center and ground electrodes will deteriorate, which increases the spark
plug gap. Erratic firing will occur once the gap increases 0.005"-0.010" from the original
setting and the plugs should be replaced. e
2 Revised 07/98ESS-L-981
AJAX LOW EMISSIONS ENGINES
‘On older LE equipment (pre 9/92), where a YK-8209-C jet cell was used, a Champion
RW77N (BM-1022-2) spark plug with an initial gap of 0.015” to 0.018” was used. The
main chamber spark plug utilized the Champion W-18 (BM-1022). Current production
models (post 9/92) where a YK-8209-C-1 is utilized, use a Champion W-18 (BM-1022)
spark plug is used with an initial gap of 0.020”. This allows use of the same spark plug
for both the main chamber and igniter. The current production jet cell (YK-8209-C-1)
identified with a ‘3/4’ stamped on the top face.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the W-18 spark plug in the YK-8209-C jet cell. Damage
‘may occur to igniter and/or spark plug threads as the result of thread depth and thread
reach respectively.
‘The secondary ignition wiring and associated components should always be in good
condition.
FUEL ADMISSI
CHECK VALVES
The primary check valve (P/N YK-8338-A) is most important in the operation of the jet
cell. As noted previously, the number of cyclic operations relates to the unit's speed, with
fuel being admitted when the cylinder pressure is less than the pilot fuel pressure and
being shut off the cylinder pressure increases. The check valve also withstands the high
pressure within the cell at time of ignition.
Present production check valves use a ceramic ball with tool steel enclosure and seat.
Ajax continues to improve the life and operation of the valves with ongoing research and
development programs.
From the primary check valve, the fuel gas enters the cell through drilled communication
holes. Due to fuel entrapment, incomplete combustion can occur in these passages, which
tends to produce a soot-carbon residue. In some cases, this build-up is not detrimental to
the check valve’s operation, but in other cases it can be severe. If this build-up becomes
heavy, erratic operation of the check valves will occur and they should be removed,
cleaned and tested.
Whenever the spark plugs are replaced, it would be appropriate to remove and clean the
check valves. Some end users have a spare set of check valves which are installed at this
time, and the removed set is cleaned for reinstallation at a later date.
‘An orifice (P/N K-8050) is installed on the inlet side of the primary check valve to allow
pilot fuel pressures to be comparable to main fuel pressure. The orifice resembles a 1/8”
toe nipple. Ensure this is an orifice by visual inspection, noting a small 0.038” internal
hole. Clean when servicing the primary check valve.
Connected directly upstream of the orifice is a secondary check valve (P/N BM-21064).
This is utilized only as a backup to the primary check valve.
3 Revised 07/98ESS-L981
AJAX LOW EMISSIONS ENGINES
A jet cell-equipped engine does require some additional maintenance over a standard
‘combustion engine. This additional maintenance is offset by gains in combustion
stability, lower emissions and improved fuel economy.

SUPPLEMENT ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE
The new AJAX Low Emissions (LE) Engine utilizes a squish design combustion
chamber that includes a jet cell (ignitor cell). The assembly procedure is basically the
same as on a standard engine, with the following additions and changes in gas valve
timing, ignition timing and power piston position.
1. PISTON & HEAD INSTALLATION:
‘A) The piston used on the LE engine does not incorporate notches or tapped holes in
the crown for installation as compared to the standard combustion engine. It is
recommended that a rod wrench (or strap wrench) be used to install or remove the
power piston.
B) Screw piston into crosshead until approximately three (3) threads are left
showing. Do not tighten rod nut at this time.
C) Install cylinder head (with gasket) and torque to 600 ft-lbs.
D) Using solder, set piston-to-head striking clearance at 0.110” (+: 0.010"). This is
‘measured at the 6:00 position by inserting solder through the gas injection hole
down towards bottom of head. Roll piston forward (rotate crankshaft in CW
direction) past TDC, thus crushing solder. Using a micrometer or dial calipers,
‘measure thickness of crushed solder. Adjust piston position accordingly, to
obtain proper striking clearance. Refer to Figure 1.

be made when converting an engine to LE application.
A) The flywheel and gear shield must be removed in order to remove layshaft and
reset cam timing.
B) Cam timing is retarded from the standard 13° ABDC beginning of injection to 37°
ABDC. DO NOT GO BEYOND 37°ABDC! If gears do not line up with cams at
37° ABDC, go back towards BDC (ie. 35° ABDC). Beginning of injection is 37° e@

‘The crankshaft should be rotated in a clockwise direction to 26° ABDC #1 power
cylinder. DO NOT GO BEYOND 26°ABDC! If gears do not line up with cams at
26° ABDC, go back towards BDC (i.e. 24° ABDC). The crankshaft is positioned
at 26° ABDC for setting cam timing on DPC-800s & DPC-2804s only. This is
due to the way the cam is installed on the layshaft. The result will be injection
beginning at 37° ABDC. Refer to FIG 3. The cam can now be set using the
method illustrated in ESS-T-911.
D) Once the preceding is complete, the layshaft gear should be installed and re-
indexed.
3. IGNITION TIMING:
Ignition timing is changed on all LE engines to 3° BTDC. New mag pickup brackets
are furnished for all conversions through the DPC-600 & DPC-2803 to accommodate
the timing change.

4. IGNITOR ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION: Refer to FIG 4
A) Ignitor assembly is indexed with a roll pin that lines up with a slot machined in
the LE power head. This ensures proper direction of ignitor exit orifice. It is very
important that they are lined up properly! Misalignment will result in severe
piston crown damage. It should be noted that when ignitor is torqued into head,
the roll pin will not completely set into slot. This is only an alignment reference.
B) Install gasket (P/N SF-34-65) onto end of ignitor by pressing on or using small
amount of grease to hold gasket in place when installing ignitor into the head.
Insure O-ring is installed on ignitor at this time also.
C) Install water seal (P/N 2-013-129-002) into head.

5. SPARK PLUGS:
On older LE equipment (pre 9/92), where a YK-8209-C jet cell was used, a
‘Champion RW77N (BM-1022-2) spark plug with an initial gap of 0.015” to
0.018” was used. The main chamber spark plug utilized the Champion W-18
(BM-1022). Current production models (post 9/92), where a YK-8209-C-1 is utilized,
use a Champion W-18 (BM-1022) spark plug with an initial gap of 0.020”. This
allows use of the same spark plug for both the main chamber and igniter. The current
production jet cell (YK-8209-C-1) is identified with a *3/4” stamped on the top face.
IMPORTANT: Do not install the W-18 spark plug in the YK-8209-C jet cell.
Damage may occur to ignitor and/or spark plug threads as the result of thread depth
‘and thread reach, respectively.

6. GAS INJECTION VALVES:
The gas injection valve used in the LE power end is of the same basic design as the
‘one used in the standard combustion assembly but the valve housing and plunger
housing are not interchangeable. The gas injection valve assembly on the LE engine
has a longer valve body housing and a shorter plunger housing to accommodate the
profile of the power head
7. MISCELLANEOUS:
In addition to the preceding requirements, engines that are converted to the LE design
must have:
A) Dry-type, low restriction intake system
B) Ring gear start system on 15” bore engines
C) 3/8” hydraulic supply lines on gas injection system
D) Exhaust line adjustment to compensate for length of insertion pipe in muffler

five hours and the surrounding temperature has been < 50° F, then follow the procedures
prescribed in Ajax Engineering Standard ES 1006 on pages 2 and 3.
The chart shown below describes the amount of load (% of total) that can be applied when

Engine Coolant Outlet Temperature (F)
For engine lubrication refer to the Operation Manual’s section on Power Cylinder Lubrication
for details. Generally, normal oil consumption is 1 pin/30 BHP per day.
For example: DPC-2802LE at 4500" elevation, 100° F, operating at 440 rpm has a site rated
available BHP of 349.4.
349.4 BHP + 30 BHP/day = 11.6 pints/day per engine
‘An empirically determined amount can be used for consistently reduced load operation.If counting a force feed lubricator pump’s “drops per minute” be certain that the individual
pump is in good condition, and has no wear between the plunger and its bore. If using a digital
lubrication meter, compare its reading to the unit's Lube System Operating Schematic for the
correct lube rate.
Engine Coolant Safety Shutdown Temperature
‘Ajax has traditionally specified 206°F as the engine's coolant high temperature limit.
This value is based upon experience with thermosyphon coolant systems.
A shutdown value of 185°F is more appropriate for DPC-2200 and DPC-2800 series engines
‘with pressurized and 150°F thermostatically controlled systems.
‘When the fuel has greater than 0.15% HS by volume, the coolant temperature should be raised
to 160°F to minimize sulfuric acid formation. The safety shutdown temperature
should then be set at 190°F. Fuels containing more than 0.02% HO should be dried to avoid the
formation of sulfuric acid.
Action:
If the fuel has more than 0.15% H,S by volume, change the thermostat’s control element to
attain 160°F.
Adjust the safety shutdown trip point on the coolant temperature monitor in your unit's control
panel to the appropriate value.Technical Information

contact a hot exhaust pipe and ignite. Use the following procedure:
Hydraulic System Purging Procedure:
|. Shut the engine off,
. Pressurize the hydraulic reservoir to 15-20 psig,
}. Open the flow control valve (at control box) forthe gas injection valve line to be purged.
J. Connect a 10-12" length of clear plastic 3/8” hose to the bleed valve,
5. Slowly open the bleed valve while directing purged fluid and bubbles into a clean container for reclamation,
5. After the fluid runs without bubbles, close the bleed valve.
Close the flow control valve atthe control box.
‘Check the reservoir’s fluid level. Be certain to depressurize the reservoir before replenishing the fui.

‘Subject: Lubrication Rates for DPC-2200 and DPC-2800 series engine-compressors
Use of divider valve designs provides a simple, reliable and predictable approach to engine cylinder and compressor
cylinder lubrication. Simplicity is enhanced by use of a lubrication monitor that senses divider valve operation, and
displays pints/day of lube oil consumption based on RPM and a divider valve assembly’s displacement volume.
‘The following rates for engine cylinders are based on the use of dry gas, and lube oil per Ajax engineering standard

‘Subject: Engine Operation with Fuel Containing H,S (Hydrogen Sulfide)
‘Ajax engines can operate with some amount of HS in the fuel. The standard engine
configuration can tolerate 100 grains HS per 100 scf natural gas without operational or
‘mechanical alteration, (This amount is 0.16% when expressed as volume.)
However, successful engine operation with up to 3% (volume) of HpS can be achieved when extra
protective measures are made.
Background:
HS in fuel gas will combine with water to form sulfuric acid. The source of the water is either
saturated fuel, or a byproduct of combustion. Depending upon the amount of HS in the fuel,
corrosion will occur. The corrosion affects parts with brass, bronze, copper (bearings, bushings,
wiring, etc.) as well as many ferrous alloy materials. The effect is erosion of some materials, and
slress corrosion cracking of others.
Ajax engines can tolerate higher fuel HS levels than competitive four stroke cycle engines
because:
a) there are no intake or exhaust valves. Seats, guides, and valve faces are very
susceptible to HaS attack.
) the engine’s crankcase is isolated from the power cylinders because of the crosshead
type design. The piston rod’s packing separates the crankcase and the power cylinder.
Acid laden combustion products which blow by the piston rings do not contaminate
the crankcase oil.
