SEMINAR TRAINING
Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction in the proper operation, main-
tenance and service of Rotary Screw Vacuum Systems. Seminars are presented at regular intervals
throughout the year at a dedicated training facility at Sullair’s corporate headquarters in Michigan City,
Indiana.
Instruction includes discussion of the function and installation of Sullair service parts, troubleshooting of
the most common problems, and actual equipment operation. The seminars are recommended for
maintenance and service personnel.

DESCRIPTION
Figure 2-4 Control System butterfly continues to open until the system vacuum
reaches approximately 15 in.-Hg. (381mm) at which
START time the vacuum system is operating at full capaci-
ty.
NORMAL OPERATING MODE - 15 TO 20 IN.-HG.
(381 TO 508MM)
When the system vacuum rises above 15 in.-Hg.
(381mm), the inlet butterfly valve is opened and gas
is drawn from the system at full capacity of the vac-
uum pump. From this point on, the system vacuum
is continually monitored by a vacuum gauge. The
vacuum regulator remains closed during this phase,
keeping the Sullicon Control inactive.
MODULATING MODE - 20 TO 23 IN.-HG. (508 TO
584MM)
If less gas than the rated capacity of the vacuum
FULL LOAD unit is being admitted to the system, the system
vacuum will rise above 20 in.-Hg. (508mm). The
vacuum regulator valve gradually opens, applying
atmospheric air pressure through the control line to
the diaphragm chamber of the Sullicon Control
which then partially closes the butterfly valve on the
vacuum unit inlet; reducing the amount of gas
entering the vacuum unit until it matches the
amount of gas being admitted to the system. The
Control System functions continually in this manner,
between the limits of 20 to 23 in.-Hg. (508 to
584mm) in response to varying demands from the
system.
DUAL CONTROL- ABOVE 23 IN.-HG. (584MM)
For a machine with varied periods of time when
there is not vacuum requirements, a "dual-control"
MODULATION option is available. This option allows you to set the
machine in an automatic position whereby the
machine will shut down when no vacuum require-
ment is present and restart when the system vacu-
um decreases. This is accomplished through the
vacuum switch. When the system vacuum reaches
23 in.-Hg. (585mm), the switch contacts open which
de-engergizes the solenoid valve. Atmospheric air
pressure is admitted to the Sullicon diaphragm
which holds the butterfly valve closed.
Simultaneously, a timing relay starts. When the tim-
ing relay is satisfied, it will shut the vacuum system
down. When the lower setting 20 in.-Hg. (508mm)
of the vacuum switch is reached, the machine will

operation; useful for planning and logging service
schedules.
SYSTEM VACUUM GAUGE Continually monitors system vacuum.
INLET VACUUM GAUGE Continually monitors unit's inlet vacuum. Along

with the system vacuum gauge, indicates air filter
condition for maintenance purposes.
DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE GAUGE Monitors temperature of vacuum unit gas/fluid

discharge. For both air and water-cooled Vacuum
Systems, normal reading is approximately 180ºF
(82ºC).
LOW FLUID PRESSURE SWITCH Shuts the machine down when the fluid pressure
is too low. This switch is set at 10 psig (69kPa).
RUPTURE DISK Relieves the sump pressure if the pressure is too

OPERATION
5.2 PURPOSE OF CONTROLS (CONTINUED)
CONTROL OR INDICATOR PURPOSE
INLET CHECK VALVE Cuts off the reverse flow of gas/fluid mixture
through the vacuum unit inlet at shutdown.
THERMAL VALVE Regulates flow of fluid to and around the cooler. It

(air-cooled only) is designed to maintain a minimum operating tem-
perature of 180ºF (82ºC); used for fast warm-up
on start-up.
FLUID PRESSURE REGULATOR Maintains an adequate lubricating fluid pressure

of approximately 20 psi (138kPa) at the vacuum
unit.
DISCHARGE TEMPERATURE SWITCH Shuts the machine down when the vacuum unit
discharge temperature exceeds 240ºF (116ºC).
HIGH PRESSURE SHUTDOWN SWITCH Designed to shut down the machine when the dis-
charge pressure becomes too high. This switch is
set for shutdown at approximately 12 psi (83kPa).
SULLICON CONTROL Regulates the amount of gas allowed to enter the

inlet valve. This regulation is determined by the
amount of gas being admitted to the system.
VACUUM REGULATOR Opens an atmospheric pressure line to the

Sullicon Control allowing the Sullicon Control to
regulate system vacuum according to demand.
WATER REGULATING VALVE Regulates the amount of cooling water used in

(water-cooled only) the cooler to keep the machine running at a nor-
mal operating temperature of 180ºF (82ºC).

be made to insure that the Vacuum System is run-
ning properly.
6.3 MAINTENANCE AFTER INITIAL 50 HOURS OF
OPERATION
After the initial 50 hours of operation, a few mainte-
nance requirements are needed to rid the system of
any foreign materials. Perform the following mainte-
nance operations to prevent unnecessary prob-
lems.
1. Clean the return line strainer(s).
2. Clean the return line orifice(s) if so equipped.
3. Clean the vacuum unit gear housing, bearing and
shaft seal orifices. Care must be taken not to
damage the shaft.
4. Clean the fluid pump suction strainer.
6.4 MAINTENANCE EVERY 4000 HOURS
After 4000 hours of operation, it will be necessary to
perform the following:
1. Clean the return line strainer. *Repair Kit P/N 02250155-709

INLET FILTER ELEMENT CLEANING
The inlet filter element may be cleaned by com-
pressed air. When cleaning the element with com-
pressed air, never let the air pressure exceed 30 psi
(207kPa). Reverse flush the element by directing
the compressed air up and down the pleats in the
filter media from the "clean side" of the element.
Continue reverse flushing until all dust is removed.
Should any fluid or greasy dirt remain on the filter
surface, the element should then be replaced.
When the element is sufficiently cleaned, inspect it
thoroughly prior to installation (see Element
Inspection).
ELEMENT INSPECTION
1. Place a bright light inside the element to inspect
for damage or leak holes. Concentrated light will
shine through the element and disclose any
faulty areas.
2. Inspect all gaskets and gasket contact surfaces
of the housing. Should faulty gaskets be evident,
correct the condition immediately.
3. If the clean element is to be stored for later use,
it must be stored in a clean container.
4. After the element has been installed, inspect and
tighten all air inlet connections prior to resuming
operation.

CONTROL SYSTEM ADJUSTMENT
Refer to Figure 6-4. Prior to adjusting the Control
System, it is necessary to determine the desired
operating vacuum range. The following explanation
applies to a typical installation with a desired oper-
ating vacuum of 20 in-Hg. (508mm). This informa-
tion will apply to a vacuum unit with any other oper-
ating vacuum except for the stated vacuum.
The vacuum regulator should be adjusted for the
vacuum at which modulation of gas delivery should
begin. In this case, the vacuum will be 20 in-Hg.
(508mm). The regulator is adjusted by loosening
the jam nut on the end of the cone shaped spring
cover of the vacuum regulator. When the jam nut is
loose, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to
increase or counterclockwise to decrease the set-
ting. Above 20 in-Hg. (508mm), the regulator will
allow atmospheric pressure to flow into the control
chamber of the Sullicon Control. At this time, the
