3. Capacity control system
　◇ Unload operation ◇
Before starting the compressor, the valve 1 shuts off the suction port using
the force of the spring of the capacity control valve.
When the compressor is started, the pressure of the chamber ② and ③ becomes
lower than the atmosphere. At this time, the pressure of ②, ⑤ and ⑥ become
the same level by unload condition of the three-way solenoid valve and the valve
1 continues to shut off the suction port using the force of the spring of the capacity
control valve. The valve 2 of the capacity control valve is open while the check
valve is closed. Air blows off into the atmosphere through the silencer.
The condition in which the air is not discharged to the downstream side through
the check valve is called unload operation. Since the discharge air temperature of
the compressor rises abnormally when chamber ② becomes completely vacuum,
the compressor is designed so that a small amount of suction air can flow into
chamber ②.
2-6
　◇ Load operation ◇
When the three-way solenoid valve magnetized, it becomes load condition.

Consequently, the pressure of chamber ⑥ which opens into chamber ② becomes
lower than that of chamber ⑤. The piston moves to the left, the valve 1 is opened
and the pressure of ③ rises higher than the atmosphere. Then compressor
discharge line ④ and chamber ② are completely closed and valve 1 is completely
opened by the valve 2 attached to the end of the piston. This changes unload
operation into load operation and compressed air flows into the downstream side.
At this time, since the pressure of ③ becomes higher than that of ①
(the atmosphere), the pressure of ③ is introduced to ⑤ through the shuttle valve
to continue load operation.
When the pressure at the downstream side of check valve rises higher than
the specified value, the three-way solenoid valve becomes unload operation by
the signal from the pressure sensor. When the pressure becomes lower than
the specified value, the three-way solenoid valve is magnetized and the load
operation restart. When the three-way solenoid valve magnetized, it becomes
load condition. Consequently, the pressure of chamber ⑥ which opens into
chamber ② becomes lower.

４ Precautions Before Operation
1. Unloading
１）Moving the machine using a forklift

● When moving the machine using a forklift,
insert the forks into the hole of the base
provided on the block.
● In order to prevent the soundproof cover

from being damaged, install a pad to such
place that contacts with the forklift.
２）Moving the machine using a crane

● When moving the machine by hoisting it up,
be sure to pass the nylon slings through
the holes of the base and protecting the upper
and front surfaces of the machine using cloth.
● Keeping the angle of the nylon sling and

the upper surface of the machine at more than
45°, move the machine slowly.
CAUTION
Make sure that the front cover is closed up to prevent it from opening unexpectedly.
CAUTION
Be sure to read the section“Transfer”of 3.Safety Rules on page 1-3 before

starting work.
4-1
2. Attention of Piping
１）Discharge air piping

● The pipe diameter of FE15A, FE22A type is 25A, FE30A, FE37A type is 40A.
The discharge air pipe shall be as short as possible in design so as to minimize
the pressure drop in the pipe. When deciding the piping diameter, allow for
the piping resistance.
● Never fail to install the piping to a discharge pipe by the union or flange in
order to disassemble the compressor.
● Provide effective piping supports to prevent vibration or noise.
● Slope the piping not to stand the drain, and provide drain cocks at the bottom
of branch lines.
● When more than two screw compressor units are to be connected to the same
main discharge piping, equip a stop valve in every discharge piping from
the unit to be able to close the valve while either compressor unit is in rest.
Set up a drainage between the screw compressor, and set up the stop valve of
the same size in that point as well separately.
It is necessary at the time of the trial run and the maintenance.
● Provide a drainage at the bottom part of piping if there is concave or risen piping.
● Install a riser piping away more than 500mm from the soundproof cover in
consideration for the maintenance of the compressor.
● When a screw type compressor and a reciprocating type compressor are to be
installed together, the discharge pipe from a screw compressor shall be connected
to the downstream of the receiver tank to keep the pulsation from
the reciprocating type compressor away.
4-2
● Be sure to install drain trap in vertical piping when two or more compressors are
installed. This also applies when reciprocating type compressors or screw type
compressors of other manufacturers are installed and operated in parallel.
(１) As shown in the above figure of parallel operation, the vertical piping of
the stopped compressor is subject to air pressure of 0.75〈0.86〉MPa and,
since the outer surface of the piping is in contact with atmospheric
temperature, condensation forms on the inner surface ( section).
Therefore, be sure to install the drain trap.
(*)〈　　〉: 0.86MPa specification.
(２) Even though only one compressor may be installed, include a drain trap
in the vertical piping. Depending upon flow velocity, water may fail to rise,
and accumulate in the lower section.
● Don't equip a check valve between a compressor and air tank.
CAUTION
If a check valve is put between a compressor and an air tank, a compressor's pressure
rises at more than the number of the normal value, and a safety valve may blow off.
２）Other Pipes
● Install the pipe of 8A for the drain discharge from the drain separator.
4-3
３）Air tank installation
● Since the discharge air capacity is performed by 2-step method (0% and 100%),
be sure to install an air tank in the discharge line.
Model Air tank capacity [m3 ]
FE15A Min. 0.26

FE22A〈FE22A-H〉 Min. 0.49〈0.41〉
FE30A〈FE30A-H〉 Min. 0.62〈0.54〉
FE37A〈FE37A-H〉 Min. 0.75〈0.66〉
Note) This is the capacity of the case of load rate 50%, difference of upper and
lower limit pressure 0.098 MPa and a cycle time (load → unload → load)
30 seconds.
CAUTION
In the case of lower the difference width of the pressure and integrating the pipes
in an air tank from several compressors, an air tank which is larger than its
capacity is needed.
CAUTION
In operating the compressor without an air tank, the compressor's lifetime lowers
remarkably by the increase of the frequency of load and unload.

3. Power Supply Connection
● The power to be supplied is 3-phase 380･415V/50Hz.

● It has been wired for all the wiring
inside the compressor.
● Remove the front cover and introduce
the power cable through the opening
on the left side, then connect each
cable correctly to the terminal panel
in the starting box.
● Use appropriate cables and breaker
tabulated below. Use of any wrong
size cable may overheat and burn
the motor and cables.

Notes)
1. This machine standardizes a star-delta starter. The starting current at a direct
starter becomes three times as large as an above star-delta starting current.
2. When the star connection changes to the delta connection, an inrush current which
is 5-7.5 times as large as the star-delta starting current (that is, 1.6-2.5 times as
large as the direct starting current) flows for a moment (1-2 cycle).
Therefore, select a circuit breaker so that a circuit breaker (earth leakage breaker)
for the power source line may not work by this inrush current.
3. Select a capacity of power transformer and a size of power cable in order to prevent
the power source voltage at the on-board starter inlet from dropping more than 10%.

◆ Selection of earth cables ◆

● Connect the earth cable to the fixed bolt (marked E) of the starter panel.
Apply the grounding of 10Ω or less to the compressor. Never fail to connect
the grounding, or it causes the electrical shock accidents and the compressor
troubles. When the length of the earth cable is less than 5m, its diameter is
generally required the size in the following list.

◆ Selection of the power transformer ◆

● The capacity of the transformer is insufficient and/or the electric wire diameter
is too small and/or the wiring route is too long, the voltage drop at the time of
startup will be intense and the motor may not be accelerated properly and, in
some cases, the motor will not be started at all. Therefore, it is important to
select a proper transformer suitable to the motor capacity.

4. Lubricating Oil
１）Recommended lubricating oil

● Use the genuine lubricating oil we are recommending.
AAA-OIL
KOBELCO GENUINE SCREW OIL
PC-HD11-509
CAUTION
Never mix different oils.
２）How to supply
● Press the “Stop” key to stop the compressor, then turn off the power switch.
Remove the plug of the supply mouth, and supply how to supply it after you make
a compressor stop and confirm that a gear stopped completely.
4-8
● Remove the front cover of the compressor, and unplug the oil supply vent with
　 a wrench.
● Pour lubricating oil up to the upper limit of the level gauge.

The oil level is different when the equipment is in operation and when it is still
because oil circulates through the piping system in the former case.
Add an appropriate quantity of oil for the oil level in operation to be within the
upper limit of the level gauge.
● Tighten the plug into the oil supply vent. Add wipe up the spilt lubricating oil.
● To replace the lubricating oil the following amount is required.
Model Level [L]
FE15A 11

３）Criteria for changing lubricating oil
◆ Control of lubricating oil ◆

● It is important to control the lubricating oil properly for long and good use of
the compressor.
● Lubricating oil shall not be mixed with that of a different brand. Mixing oil
may cause deterioration of oil or adherents which may shorten the life of
compressor extremely.
● When changing oil brand for lack of an alternative, clean the oil line by
flushing oil or replace the oil within 500 hours running.

● In principle, oil should be changed on lapse of 4,000 hours after an initial filling
with oil, and periodically every 8,000 hours of operation or one year whichever
comes first. The used oil shall be thoroughly discharged. If the used oil is
remaining in the new oil, the life will be markedly reduced.
◆ Criteria for changing lubricating oil ◆
