2.1.2 General comments

Reciprocating compressors are the most widely used of all compression systems and have the largest
range of sizes and types.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 27 -

SECTION 2
2.1.3 Working principle

The basic element of the reciprocating compressor is a piston that compresses the gas inside a
cylinder on only one side of the piston (single acting).
Operation of the reciprocating compressor requires automatic valves kept closed by springs and which
open only when there is a pressure differential across the valve itself, greater than the force exerted by
the springs.
The inlet valves open when the pressure in the cylinder is slightly lower than the pressure upstream of
the valves, whereas the outlet valves open when the pressure in the cylinder is slightly higher than the
pressure downstream of the valves.

SECTION 2
This image shows the piston at Bottom Dead Center (BDC), which
corresponds to point 1 of figure 1. In these conditions, the cylinder is
completely filled with gas at the inlet pressure and the inlet valve is
open, whereas the outlet valve is closed.
This image shows the piston which is moving towards top dead center
and corresponds to the curve 1-2 of figure 1. The pressure inside the
cylinder is increasing towards the outlet pressure value. Both valves are
closed.
This image shows the piston which is moving towards top dead center
and corresponds to the curve 2-3 of figure 1. The pressure inside the
cylinder has reached the delivery pressure. The inlet valve is closed,
whereas the outlet valve is open.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 29 -

SECTION 2
This image shows the piston which is moving towards bottom dead
center and corresponds to the curve 3-4 of figure 1. The pressure is
decreasing toward the value of the inlet pressure value. Both valves are
closed.
This image shows the piston which is moving towards the bottom dead
center and corresponds to the 4-1 of figure 1. The pressure has reached
the inlet pressure value. The inlet valve is open, whereas the outlet
valve is closed.
This cycle is obviously theoretical. In fact it is necessary to take into account pressure losses through
the valves and the physical properties of the different gases treated, that slightly modify the diagram
of figure 1.
The reciprocating movement of the piston generates a pulsating pressure; appropriate damping
devices can be installed to limit the value of these pulsations.
The compression also produces a rise in temperature of the compressed gas. The temperature of the
expelled gas depends on the nature of the gas, the inlet temperature, the compression ratio and
cylinder cooling.
The compressors can therefore be with one or more compression stages and can be equipped with
interphase and/or final heat exchangers.
- 30 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 2
2.2 Compressor characteristics

Like all positive displacement compressors, reciprocating compressors are classified as machines at
constant volume and variable pressure.
They are currently the most efficient machines built for the majority of applications.
They may be equipped with delivery control systems to maintain their high efficiency at partial loads.
They are built to treat all gases, and even those with corrosion problems.
Compressing may be done with cylinders lubricated or not lubricated.
Because of the reciprocating pistons and other non-balanced rotating parts, these compressors can
generate vibration; it is therefore necessary to take every possible measure to ensure an installation as
stable as possible. The extent of these measures depends on the type and size of the installed
compressor. These machines are normally designed to be installed in a building.
The compressors must be supplied with clean gases, therefore inlet filters are recommended.
They cannot treat liquids that may result from a partial condensation of the gas at the inlet to the
compressor, but this is not a problem if the condensation does not occur inside the cylinder and there
is a water separator. Liquids tend to deteriorate the lubrication and cause excessive wear.
Reciprocating compressors produce a pulsating flow of gas that could generate vibrations; therefore
pulsation dampers, that normally eliminate the problem, are installed.
The COMPRESSOR consists of two basic parts:
MECHANICAL PART (crank mechanism)
PNEUMATIC PART (distance pieces and cylinders)
(cylinder)
Pneumatic part
(distance piece)
Mechanical part
(crank mechanism)
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 31 -

SECTION 2
In particular, the vertical reciprocating COMPRESSOR has one or more cylinders arranged:
in a V, (two inclined compression lines)
on independent lines, connected to the frame by means of distance pieces with single extra long
chamber.
2.2.1 Mechanical part

The frame is a cast iron structure with side openings for inspection and maintenance. Housed inside is
the crankshaft with counterweights supported by:
self-aligning roller bearings
The shaft has internal oil passages suitable for lubrication of big end and main bearings. The oil seal to
the outside is ensured by:
an oil slinger system, without mechanical

contact which does not require periodic
maintenance.
The shaft is mechanically connected to the gear pump for circulating the oil in the crank mechanism.
- 32 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 2
The crankshaft, resting on the main bearings, inside the frame, is suitably extended outwards, beyond
the flywheel, to allow the use of a third outer bearing that prevents any bending of the shaft due to the
pull of the belts.
This external bearing is mounted on a special support bolted to the metal crankcase; its positioning is
ensured by two diagonally opposed dowels.
The bearing is self-aligning and allows small rotations on its support surface, however, its height with
respect to the crankshaft be defined with precision; therefore in the assembly phase brass shims are
placed between the bearing and its support.
When fitting the external support bearing (see photo) it

must be well greased internally.
The steel connecting rods connect the crankshaft to the cross heads which are in nodular cast iron and
that move inside removable liners The rods that transmit the reciprocating motion of the pistons are
connected to the cross heads.
The machine is driven by transmitting the motion to a flywheel directly keyed on the crankshaft to
which it is made integral by a friction clamping unit; the flywheel:
has grooves for the transmission of motion by means of V-belts.
2.2.2 Pneumatic part

Fixed on the frame are one or more distance pieces with the scraper rings; the latter are arranged
along the shaft to prevent the entrainment of oil from the crank mechanism to the distance pieces.
The distance piece mounted directly on the frame has two chambers: the lower one allows easy access
to the scraper ring assembly and is an integral part of the crank mechanism, whereas the upper
chamber constitutes the real distance piece.
Mounted on each distance piece is the cylinder, which contains: rod seal, piston, inlet and delivery
valves.
The rod seal is a set of rings with self-centering and self-regulating segments in reinforced PTFE,
ensuring the seal with respect to the pressure inside the cylinder.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 33 -

SECTION 2
The piston has sliding blocks which ensure perfect centering inside the cylinder, and piston rings that
ensure seal with respect to the pressure inside the cylinder; both are in reinforced PTFE.
The valves are flat disc type, easily accessible from the mouths located on the cylinder.
If installed on the air inlet side, they are suction type; if installed on the air outlet side, they are
delivery type.
For the overlapped piston, there is a single double-acting (inlet and delivery) concentric valve
positioned at the head of the cylinder.
2.3 Description of other circuits

2.3.1 Air circuit
The air circuit is the set of components used to treat the air by compressing.
In addition to the cylinders in which compression takes place, it includes the connection pipes
between the inlet and outlet of each cylinder, the heat exchangers and condensate separators.
For details on the solution adopted, see the enclosed “P&ID” and “Assembly drawing”.
INLET FILTERS
The compressor is always supplied with a permanent filter, which is installed on the inlet line and
never to be removed, because the risk of sucking solid particles cannot be eliminated.
ATTENTION: The air to be compressed must not contain foreign bodies. Make sure a filter
is always installed on the COMPRESSOR inlet line. This is all-important
because, although microscopic and harder than the piston seals, the foreign
body can make the seals so abrasive as to damage the internal surfaces of
the cylinders.
- 34 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 2
HEAT EXCHANGERS
The gas circuit is equipped with heat exchangers installed on the outlet of each compression stage.
The purpose of these devices is to cool the air that heats up by the effect of compression.
CONDENSATE SEPARATORS
The condensate separators are installed downstream of the heat exchangers to separate the
condensate formed after the cooling air exchangers operated by the same.
2.3.2 Oil circuit

2.3.2.1 Crank mechanism lubrication oil circuit
The lubrication circuit is the set of components for ensuring that the COMPRESSOR crank mechanism is
properly lubricated with oil, suitable for the operating ambient conditions and at the proper
conditions of pressure, temperature and cleanness.
It includes the crank mechanism, the connecting pipes between the oil sump and the individual
lubricating points, the pump, heat exchanger and filter assembly.
ATTENTION: This circuit has been designed to ensure proper lubrication. No dirt or
foreign matter must be able to reach the components to be lubricated and
the efficiency of the oil filter must be maintained.
CRANKCASE
For crankcase includes the housing where it accumulates the oil having lubricated all the components
of the crank mechanism; it generally consists of the COMPRESSOR frame with a capacity of 60 liters.
The crankcase must be filled through the special passage referred to as “oil load”; this passage is
normally closed by a plug provided with non-return valve which releases the overpressure
accumulated in the frame.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 35 -

SECTION 2
OIL HEATER
Housed in the crankcase is a heater necessary for increasing the oil temperature, and therefore the
correct fluidity/viscosity, before starting and/or maintaining it during operation, to ensure the
optimum lubrication of the crank mechanism. The heater is controlled by its own protection against
abnormal overheating.
INLET FILTERS
The inlet filters, installed inside the COMPRESSOR crankcase are:
Three main pump suction filters
These filters are installed upstream of the pump to prevent coarse impurities from damaging it; are
mesh type and have two internal magnetic columns that catch any small metal parts that pass through
the external mesh.
PUMP
The pump is installed to supply the crank mechanism with the pressure and flow of the oil suitable for
a perfect lubrication.
The solution adopted for this COMPRESSOR is:
main pump driven by electric motor.
The pump can deliver an oil a flow greater than the minimum necessary for a perfect lubrication;
therefore a pressure relief valve is installed with the dual purpose of limiting the pump delivery
pressure and skim the overﬂow of excess oil inside the COMPRESSOR crankcase.
HEAT EXCHANGER
The lubrication circuit includes
heat exchanger installed before the filter assembly
The purpose of this component is to remove the heat generated by the friction of the moving parts and
absorbed by the lubrication oil.
The oil sent to the moving parts must work, as constantly as possible, at a constant temperature (see
“P&ID” for more details) to ensure good lubrication.
- 36 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 2
FILTERS
The lubrication circuit includes a fine filtering system to prevent solid particles larger than 25 µm
from damaging the lubricated parts.
The filtering assembly consists of:
a cartridge filter mounted directly on the pump body.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
To maintain the correct oil pressure value at the crank

mechanism entry, an adjustment screw is installed inside the
main pump body (see the enclosed drawing) with which it is
possible to adjust the pressure value.
2.3.3 Cooling circuit

The COMPRESSOR is equipped with a closed cooling circuit with water + glycol for:
cylinders
final and interphase gas exchangers
oil cooler
For details on the solution adopted and the components making up the cooling circuit, see the
enclosed “P&ID” and “Assembly drawing”.
2.3.4 Drive parts

The COMPRESSOR is driven by an electric motor which, through a motion transmission system, is able
to operate the machine in design conditions.
Other electric motors are installed to drive:
oil pump
water pump
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 37 -

SECTION 2
ELECTRIC MOTORS
The main electric motor installed to drive the COMPRESSOR is designed to meet all the design
conditions and is suitable for installation in a safe area.
Likewise, also all the other electric motors installed have been selected.
COUPLING WITH BELTS

The coupling provided for is with V-belts; the electric motor has a suitable pulley with grooves to hold
the belts that transmit the motion to the COMPRESSOR flywheel.

Although solutions have been adopted to eliminate or minimize the risks to ensure the safety and
protection of health, there are still some residual risks. Refer for Par. 3.3 - Information regarding
residual risks.
3.1.2. Materials and substances handled

The COMPRESSOR is designed and built to compress:
ATMOSPHERIC AIR.
The manufacturer declines any liability arising from dangers due the use of gases different from those
for which the COMPRESSOR was designed.
ATTENTION: Using the COMPRESSOR for compressing a type of gas different from that
indicated may be done only after consulting the manufacturer SIAD
MACCHINE IMPIANTI S.P.A. and only with its written authorization.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 41 -

SECTION 3
The materials with which the COMPRESSOR was built are not hazardous to the health of operators.
However, there are hazards due to:
fluids used for maintenance or cleaning, harmful to people's health: normally these are
detergents, solvents or oils with the level of risk is indicated in their technical data sheets. Before
using any substances for the above operations, the operator must be trained regarding the
hazards associated with their use.
antifreeze fluid for the cooling water circuit.
The user of the COMPRESSOR must therefore provide appropriate PPE(e.g. goggles, masks, gloves, or
protective clothing) for operators who may come into contact with the above-mentioned substances.
Waste and discharge products from production are lubricating oils that are replaced during periodic
maintenance; they must be disposed of by the purchaser COMPRESSOR in accordance with the current
regulations in the country where the COMPRESSOR is installed. Disposal must be carried out in such a
way that it does not harm the environment or cause injury to persons or animals, in conformity with
the applicable regulations.
3.2. Protection devices and solutions

3.2.1. Passive safety devices
Passive safety devices are those devices that do not prevent accidents, but serve to reduce the damage.
The COMPRESSOR is equipped with the following devices:
guards for the drive parts.
ATTENTION: The removal or improper use of the above-mentioned devices is prohibited

during COMPRESSOR operation because it creates a hazardous situation for
operators. If necessary, their removal is allowed only during maintenance
operations.
3.2.2. Active safety devices

Active safety devices are those devices that prevent accidents.
The COMPRESSOR has devices which are activated following a manual action by the operator, and
others that intervene automatically when a limit condition is reached; they are:
buttons for manual actions by the operator.
A display to alert the operator in case of an abnormal situation (startup, alarm, shutdown).
visual alarms to notify the operator of a deteriorating situation.
logic blocks to stop the COMPRESSOR before creating a dangerous situation.

because it creates a hazardous situation for operators. The set point of the
logic blocks with stop function can be modified only with the COMPRESSOR
stopped.
3.2.3. Process devices

Process devices are all those devices that control all the process variables concerning the COMPRESSOR
(pressure, temperature, vibration) and alert the operator (alarms) and/or make the machine safe
(shutdowns) whenever these variables are not within the permissible limits for normal operation.
Process devices are all the control system instruments, hardware and software. When the control logic
generates an alarm or shutdown, the combination of instrument-components hardware-software logic
function becomes an active safety device.
For details on the solutions adopted, see the enclosed “P&ID”.
ATTENTION: The removal, tampering with or improper use of these devices is prohibited
because it creates a hazardous situation for operators. The set point of the
instruments with stop function can be modified only with the COMPRESSOR
stopped
3.3. Information regarding residual risks

This paragraph lists all the general residual risks and provides all the information necessary to
eliminate or minimize such risks.
Additional information on specific residual risks is given in the relevant sections.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 43 -

SECTION 3
3.3.1. General residual risks

The residual risks that remain in the machine, as supplied by Siad Macchine Impianti, are described
below
The technical solution that allows their elimination by the end user is proposed for some of the risks
indicated.
very hot cylinder surfaces at the delivery chambers; risk of burns.

very hot pipes and shock damper surfaces at the gas outlet from a compression stage ahead of
the heat exchanger: risk of burns.
exhaust gas from the safety valves and/or valve vents oriented towards a safe direction, but not
collected: risk of being struck by stream of possibly dangerous high-speed gas jet.
discharges of drainage of individual condensate separators oriented in a safe direction, but not
collected: risk of dispersion of liquid into the air.
live electrical components inside the command and control panel and on the skid: risk of
electrocution.
a noise level that requiring the use of ear protectors by anyone approaching the machine: risk of
hearing damage.
flexible connections with pressurized gas subject to vibration: risk of gas leakage and accidental
contact with the pipe in case of breakage due to possible swaying.
Electrical connections between:
o Control panel and compressor skid
o Control panel and accessory skids
not mechanically protected: risk of electrocution.
The risk can be reduced by preventing access to the area crossed by the power cables.
The risk can be eliminated by installing ducts or corrugated pipes having adequate resistance
to impact, pressure and falling objects.
possibility of starting of the COMPRESSOR in automatic mode according to process requirements:
risk of unexpected startup.
- 44 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 3
3.4. Work area and operator station

The COMPRESSOR has a purely automatic function and does not require the constant presence of an
operator in the hazardous area.
Hazardous area is understood as that inside the edges of the skid or the area occupied by the metal
base and any protruding parts.
An operator is required only in case of special conditions; in particular, the operator must be present
during manual startup and stopping of the machine and its ancillary components.
The operator is not is not required during startup and stopping in automatic operation.
During these transient conditions, the operator must remain near:
the local control panel
The possible adjustment of manual valves and/or instruments mounted locally is permissible, during
the commissioning phase, while remaining outside of the metal base (skid); this is required, for
example, for adjusting the lubricating oil pressure, and the distribution of water to the various users.
For more details on the necessary COMPRESSOR, preparation operations, refer to Section 5 -
Preparation and first startup.
During normal operation, only some adjustments or occasional operation can be performed with the
machine in motion, such as:
adjustment of crank mechanism lubricating oil pressure.
adjustment of performance parameters. (outlet pressure, unload / load run)
For more details on possible operations, refer to Section 6 – Compressor use.
During COMPRESSOR running, an operator is allowed near it, but only outside the metal base (skid).
ATTENTION: Adjustment of the machine must be carried out using control panel outside
the hazardous area.
The operator can access the COMPRESSOR only during maintenance, after stopping the machine and
putting it in safety status.
For more information, refer to Section 7 - Compressor maintenance.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 45 -

SECTION 3
3.5. Information on noise and vibration

3.5.1. Noise
The COMPRESSOR is designed and built in such a way as to minimize noise levels during normal
operation.
However, the operator's continuous presence is not required during normal machine operation. If, for
any reason, the operator has to approach the COMPRESSOR during operation, he must be equipped
with personal ear protectors.
The weighted sound pressure level (A) generated by the COMPRESSOR during operation is:
85 ±3 DB (A) in load running conditions.
The sound pressure level refers to a condition of free field, i.e. without background noise and without
other sound sources or surfaces able to cause reflection or reverberation, and is the average of the
measurements on four sides at a distance of 1m from the COMPRESSOR and 1m above the ground.
To obtain the above-mentioned sound pressure level, the following precautions must be taken:
Check that the maximum reverberation time in the room is equal to one second.
Install the COMPRESSOR so that the inlet filter is not placed near a corner of the room, to avoid
reflections due to the intersection of the three walls.
ATTENTION: The noise level (including tolerance of ± 3 DB (A)) cannot be guaranteed if

the above indications are not respected. The noise value could thus easily
increase up to 91DB (A) and, in some cases, even up to 97 DB (A).
The weighted sound power level (A) generated by the COMPRESSOR during operation is:
104.5 DB (A) in the load running conditions.
These values were determined based on:

valuation by means of calculation.
- 46 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 3
DANGER: Move close to the machine in operation ONLY if ear protectors

are worn.
3.5.2. Vibration
Due to the reciprocating motion, this type of COMPRESSOR generates vibrations; it is designed to
minimize them, but they cannot be eliminated entirely.
In any case, these vibrations are not harmful and/or dangerous for the operators since their
continuous presence is not required during running; during the startup and stopping phases,
operators must remain outside the metal base and therefore in an area free of vibration.
Excessive vibrations are dangerous for the integrity of the machine.
During the first startup, after installation, the vibration velocity values must be measured in different
parts of the compression unit according to the layout given in the document AST016 – Vibration
measurement enclosed with this manual.
The measured values must undergo acceptance by SIAD Macchine Impianti.
The following are the approximate maximum values, beyond which it is necessary to consult SIAD
Macchine Impianti.
14 mm/sec RMS for heads, base and frame
35 mm/sec RMS for the highest positions of pressure vessels and pipes.
DANGER: High vibration values can cause cracks and/or breakages in all
the installed components, especially in those containing
pressurized gas, creating dangerous situations for any
personnel near the COMPRESSOR.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 47 -

3.7.2 Warnings and general rules of conduct

To avoid conditions of risk for people, make sure to carefully follow the warnings and general rules of
conduct given here.
Compliance with these rules of conduct is also essential to prevent possible damage to the
COMPRESSOR.
- 50 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 3
DANGER: The manufacturer declines any liability for damage/injury

resulting from improper operations carried out by unqualified,
untrained or unauthorized personnel.
COMPRESSOR operators must be appropriately trained to use it properly and without risks in a
comfortable environment that ensures the best possible safety and hygiene conditions.
DANGER: Do not allow the COMPRESSOR to be used by unauthorized and

untrained personnel without supervision. Before starting work,
each operator must know the positions and functions of all the
controls and the characteristics of the COMPRESSOR; the operator
must also have read this manual FULLY.
Before approaching a stopped COMPRESSOR to carry out any operation, always check that it has
been stopped by a stop command and is not in automatic mode.
Before using the COMPRESSOR, make sure any condition hazardous for safety in the place where
the COMPRESSOR is installed has been properly eliminated and that no operators are in the
hazardous areas near the COMPRESSOR. A hazardous area is all the skid, i.e. all the space above
the metal base.
Before using the COMPRESSOR, make sure the walking surfaces, all guards and other protection
devices are in place and that all the safety devices are present and efficient.
Notify the supervisors of any faulty COMPRESSOR operation and any problems regarding the
COMPRESSOR protection devices.
Consult this manual regarding the current safety regulations and the specific PPE to be used for
the safety of personnel; in any case, COMPRESSOR operators must wear suitable clothing,
avoiding:
o loose clothing,
o wide sleeves,
o flapping ties and scarves,
o necklaces, bracelets and rings.
To avoid damaging the COMPRESSOR and causing other hazardous situations, do not climb on the
skid or on the COMPRESSOR components.
COMPRESSOR maintenance personnel must be familiar with all the procedures given in Section 7
- Compressor maintenance and have adequate technical training to correctly understand the
instructions and diagrams enclosed with this manual and to work on the COMPRESSOR.
The area where maintenance operations (routine and extraordinary) are carried out must always
be clean, dry and with all the equipment available and efficient.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 51 -

SECTION 3
The work area must never be occupied in such a way as to interfere with the operator's freedom
of movement. In case of emergency, immediate access to the COMPRESSOR emergency stop
button as well as the space around the COMPRESSOR must be guaranteed.
Personnel not directly involved in the control of COMPRESSOR operation are not allowed in the
space around the COMPRESSOR, so as to avoid hazards due to lack of knowledge and caused by
carelessness or negligence during the work on the COMPRESSOR.
If operations have to be carried out near live electrical components, make sure hands are dry
and use dielectric gloves (work on live electrical components with wet hands facilitates the risk
of electrocution).
DANGER: Before starting any type of work on the COMPRESSOR or its

components (equipment, instruments, valves, etc.), make sure
the power, air and cooling water are disconnected; if this is not
possible, take steps to ensure safe operation.
DANGER: Tampering or unauthorized replacement of parts of the

COMPRESSOR and the use of accessories, tools and consumables
different from those indicated by the manufacturer can cause
accidents.
ATTENTION: All environmentally hazardous materials to be eliminated following work

on the COMPRESSOR must be disposed of in compliance with the current
regulations.
If necessary, contact specialized centers for their disposal.

SECTION 3
3.7.3 Risks due to wrong maneuvers, improper use or

anomalous operating conditions.
During startup or operation, wrong maneuvers or sequences or improper use can create dangerous
situations.
Attention is drawn to the following:
generation of an overpressure due to shutting off of the delivery line.
The related risk is eliminated by the relief valve.
in automatic mode, the machine can stop or restart on its own.
The related risk is eliminated by the following procedure: before approaching a stopped
machine to carry out any operation, always check that it has been stopped with stop command
and is not in automatic mode which can generate an unexpected startup.
motor overload for COMPRESSOR startup. This condition can be considered a critical operation
condition for the motor but not dangerous regarding the safety of people.
generation of an overpressure due to malfunctioning of the pumpdown pressure relief devices.
The related risk is removed by the relief valves on all the compression stages.
untimely machine startup.
The elimination of this dangerous situation is obtained only by applying a mechanical lock on
the open switch. This action is necessary when the command and control panel is located away
from the compression unit and not visible to those operating on the unit.
although the machine is designed to withstand the loads in relief valve tripping conditions, this
condition is absolutely anomalous. The machine can operate in this condition for very short
periods (up to a few hours).
the COMPRESSOR operating condition with stop logic blocks is absolutely anomalous. If necessary
for some reason, irrespective of the COMPRESSOR, it must be done under the operator's constant
supervision.
3.8. Nameplates
Adequate identification plates have been affixed for identification of the COMPRESSOR:
a data plate giving the main operation details.
a compression unit plate giving the information required by the applicable European directives.

4.1. General
4.1.1. Feeds, services and materials
Given below are all the supplies, services and materials necessary for commissioning the COMPRESSOR;
make sure they are available and ready for use in the required amounts and conditions.
Power supplies
o All the electrical equipment must be adequately powered at the correct voltage; for
details refer to the enclosed wiring diagram.
Ethylene glycol
o The cooling circuit water must be mixed with an appropriate amount of ethylene glycol;
make sure it is available in the amount and under the conditions required by the
design.
Lubricants
o Oil for the crank mechanism. It must be available in the amounts required by the
design; for details refer Par. 4.4.8

SECTION 4
4.1.3. Minimum spaces for installing the compressor

The COMPRESSOR skid has been designed to ensure access to all components requiring routine
maintenance; however, a space must be provided around the skid for the easy access of personnel and
where tools and components subject to maintenance can be handled.
Therefore make sure to leave at least one space free of any obstruction all around the base, as shown
in the figure.
Larger free spaces may also be necessary for handling the pistons and for the extraction of heat
exchangers.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 59 -

SECTION 4
4.1.4. Minimum requirements for the compressor room

The room must be closed on all sides, clean, dry, dust-free and cool. The ambient temperature must
not exceed the maximum temperature given in Table 8
Therefore do not install piping and heat radiating equipment in the vicinity of the COMPRESSOR; if
these heat sources can not be avoided, they must at least be adequately insulated.
ATTENTION: Intake air temperatures that are too high will worsen the quality of the
compressed air. It is also possible that the final compression temperature
rises too much; in which case the COMPRESSOR automatically stops.
The ambient temperature must not fall below 0°C.

The air supply openings must be equipped with adjustable louvers to prevent the temperature in the
room from falling below the minimum allowable value even during the winter period.
ATTENTION: Temperatures that are too low can cause damage to all components filled
with a fluid that could freeze.
DANGER: Working with temperatures outside the allowable range of

values can reduce the lubricating power of the oil, resulting in
damage to COMPRESSOR.
4.1.5. Minimum requirements for compressor room ventilation

To eliminate the heat generated in the COMPRESSOR room, it is advisable to remove the hot air directly
at the source with an extractor; it is preferable to place the relevant inlets over the COMPRESSOR and
over the electric motor ventilation outlet.
A slight overpressure in the room is always to be preferred in order to feed the COMPRESSOR in an
optimum way; if, in suction, the pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure in standard conditions (1
atm), the COMPRESSOR capacity would be lower than that of design.
- 60 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 4
To obtain this overpressure, optimum ventilation must provide for a fan, to send air inside the room,
with a capacity about 20% higher than that of the extractor. There must also be suitably sized
openings to discharge the excess flow of the fan with respect to that of the extractor.
The fan must be sized to:
dissipate the heat released into the room by the COMPRESSOR;

supply the air required by the suction of the COMPRESSOR;
ensure the necessary overpressure.
The openings must be sized (see Table 9) to obtain an air flow of about 2 m/s, to ensure a minimum
pressure loss when going through the openings and so as not to create violent air currents and noise.
If optimum ventilation cannot be achieved, it is highly advisable to install at least the fan; in this case
the openings must discharge the entire flow of the fan net of the amount sucked by the COMPRESSOR.
The following Table 9 gives, for each COMPRESSOR model, the design capacity of the fan and the
extractor, and the minimum area of the openings in case of forced and non-forced extraction.

SECTION 4
4.4. Installation
4.4.1. Information regarding residual risks during installation
and connection
Residual risks remain during installation if the personal protective equipment indicated below is not
used and if the actions described below are not carried out.
SIGNS
The COMPRESSOR is equipped with special warning and prohibition signs; see Par. 3 6 – Information
on Safety regarding the meaning of the symbols.
PRECAUTIONS DURING INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel.
During the positioning procedure, the lifting tools may accidentally damage the COMPRESSOR. To
prevent this make sure these tools, when subjected to stress, do not rest on any component
installed on the skid.
Installation must be carried out in suitable ambient conditions. For example, it must never be
carried out in dusty conditions or during sand storms.
During installation, special attention should be paid to the closing of nozzles, cylinder, doors
and flanges of pressure vessels, to prevent the entry of water, dust and dirt in general.
4.4.2. Positioning
The COMPRESSOR comes complete with vibration damping supports to insulate vibrations produced by
the COMPRESSOR.
Therefore a concrete foundation is not necessary; just place the COMPRESSOR on its supports.
Moreover, it’s not necessary to fix to the ground or to the baseplate the anti-vibration supports by
means of screws or dowels
- 66 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 4
Make sure that the floor for installing the COMPRESSOR is industrial type and level.
The minimum strength of the floor must be > 2.0 kg/cm².
The maximum slope of the floor must be <0.25% (1 cm every 4 m.)
Make sure the supports are arranged as indicated on the special enclosed assembly drawing.
ATTENTION: Positioning the COMPRESSOR is an extremely important operation; the

absence of high vibration that could be dangerous for the integrity of the
COMPRESSOR will depend on its success.
4.4.3. Compressor - motor alignment

After positioning the COMPRESSOR and the motor proceed with their alignment; for the correct
alignment sequence it is necessary to know that:
coupling is “belt” type.
For the alignment of the motor and COMPRESSOR it is important to consider the following data:

ALIGNMENT
Align the pulley and flywheel with suitable equipment: comparison bar or laser.
If a laser tool is used, refer to its instructions.
If a comparison bar is used, refer to the method described below:
- 68 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 4
1. Use a gage to measure both the shoulder width of the flywheel and that of the pulley.
2. Place a straight bar on the side of the flywheel, making sure it is in contact with both ends of a
diameter of the flywheel. Fix the bar in this position.
3. Using a gage, measure the distance between the bar and the side of the motor pulley in both
points indicated in the figure. This measurement must be equal to:
distance bar/pulley = (flywheel shoulder width) - (pulley shoulder width)
4. Adjust the motor adjustment tie rods so that the distance bar/pulley matches that indicated. If
the flywheel shoulder width is equal to that of the pulley, the alignment will be satisfied when
the bar remains in contact with the four points: the two ends of a diameter of the flywheel and
the two ends of a diameter of the pulley.
BELT TENSIONING
Proper belt tensioning is a guarantee of good COMPRESSOR operation.
Inadequate tensioning gives rise to slipping of the belts, generating excessive heat. This results in a
drastic reduction of the service life of the belts and in their possible early breakage.
Excessive tensioning also results in a reduction of the service life of the belts; it also increases loads on
the shafts of the COMPRESSOR and the electric motor.
To tighten the transmission properly and keep the tension of the V-belts under control, it is always
advisable to use an ultrasonic instrument which can supply the tension in the belt according to its
vibration frequency; alternatively, for machines of lower power, the “deflection” method can be
applied.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 69 -

SECTION 4
NOTE: At the end of the operation, always make sure the belts do not flap
excessively during normal operating conditions; in fact, this is a sign of
inadequate tension.
1. Carry out a first tensioning with the motor adjustment tie rods placed towards the
COMPRESSOR.
2. After this initial tensioning, read the vibration frequency of the belt or the bending force to
obtain the “deflection” according to the values shown in Table 10 or Table 11 according to the
COMPRESSOR MODEL AND THE ELECTRIC MAINS FREQUENCY.
The “deflection” must be measured at the center of the section of belt between the points of
contact with the pulley and flywheel called span length (see figure above).
The force to be measured is that required to bend the belt on the transmission by 1 mm every
100 mm in length from its normal position (deflection).
The bending force must always be applied perpendicular to the span length.
ATTENTION: The deflection value or the frequency read must be uniform on all the belts.
A difference between the values measured on different belts > 5% indicates
bad alignment, which can involve serious operation problems.
3. Turn the flywheel three or four times to adapt the belt to the grooves of the flywheel and
pulley.
4. Repeat operation #2 and if necessary adapt the tensioning by means of the motor adjustment
tie rods placed towards the COMPRESSOR.
- 70 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 4
5. Repeat operations #3 and #4 again before reading (according to point #2) the final tensioning
value.
6. At this point it is possible to fully tighten the motor fixing bolts placed between the slides and
the feet of the motor.
Before final tightening, please check that the correct alignment is maintained in accordance
with the procedure described in the par. “ALIGNMENT”.
7. Start the COMPRESSOR and stop it after about 30 minutes of operation.
8. Read the tensioning value and compare it with the values in the Table.
If the readings are lower than those shown, after releasing the motor fixing bolts repeat
operations #3 and #4 until obtaining the values shown in the Table. After these operations,
make sure to fully tighten the motor fixing bolts holding before restarting the COMPRESSOR.
9. Start the COMPRESSOR and stop it after about 2 hours of operation.
10. Read the tensioning value and compare it with the values in the Table, if necessary repeat
point #8.
NOTES:
After first startup, it is normal for the tensioning reading to give a value lower than the initial
one, due to settling of the belts in the flywheel and the pulley grooves; which is why it is
important to repeat tensioning after the COMPRESSOR has been started.
In case of replacement of the belts, all the drive belts must be replaced at the same time, to avoid
belts with different degrees of wear. In case of replacement, make sure the tensioning is uniform
for all drive belts.
After stopping the COMPRESSOR for the tensioning readings, make sure the temperature of the
flywheel and pulley belts is not more than 30°C above the ambient temperature, even after
several hours of operation.
New belts can be tensioned to a value closer to the maximum frequency or bending strength
limits. For used belts used, a frequency or bending strength above the minimum values is
acceptable.
The ultrasonic meter or the special dynamometer are available on request by contacting the
After-Sales Service or the nearest Service Center.

General rules
This equipment must be connected to the mains power supply by the customer, who must comply
with the provisions of the above applicable standards.
POWER SUPPLY
The power supply is the distribution of electrical power, in the appropriate values of voltage, current,
frequency, number of phases.
This power supply must be correctly sized and provide for the protection needed to safely operate all
users to be connected.
NOTE: For the COMPRESSOR main motor power supply, it is advisable to provide for
the minimum voltage protection with two different intervention levels:
a first level set at 2% below the contractual minimum voltage with
a delay of 1 second
a second level set to 70% of the rated voltage with immediate
intervention
The settings can be bypassed during the startup time.
INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL CONNECTIONS

Instrumentation and control connections are all the electrical connections required for management
of the equipment installed on the machine and the transmission of control signals between the
components installed in the field and management and supervision systems installed in the local
and/or remote panel.
In this case the SIAD Macchine Impianti supply includes:
connection between the instruments in the field and the local control panel

following requirements:
the panel should preferably be installed in such a position that the COMPRESSOR skid is clearly
visible during control actions and the operator is able to ensure that no one is on the skid.
CONNECTION TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM

All components supplied separately must be connected to the grounding system of the site after
positioning.
NOTE: Proper connection to the grounding system is an essential requirement

always to be met during the installation of the machine. Connection to the
grounding system is essential for the protection of personnel against
accidental contact.
All components installed on the skid are provided with equipotential connections; the base is provided
with two connection points are available for connection to the grounding system.
To identify the position and check the dimensions, refer to the enclosed document “Assembly

4.4.8. Filling oil in the crank mechanism lubrication system

Before proceeding with the filling, remove the doors of the frame and check that all internal parts are
clean, that there are no obstructions and that the paintwork is in good condition. Remove the
protection oil sprayed before shipping on all machined mechanical parts and that has accumulated on
the bottom of the frame. Clean the inside with diesel oil and remove any traces of dirt or sand; make
sure to use rags that do not release fibrous residuals, and absolutely do not use pieces of paper.
NOTE: Before adding the lubricating oil, make sure the inside of the frame is dry.
Filling of the lubrication circuit must be done through the special

filler located on the crank mechanism as shown in the photo
opposite.
Fill the frame up to the correct level indicated by the red line on the
sight glass;
A deviation from that line by about ± 1 cm is allowed.
NOTE: Too low a level may result in poor lubrication because the inlet filter could
remain partially uncovered and allow air to enter. Even too high a level can
cause poor lubrication; in fact, in this case the oil would be in contact with
the moving parts of the crank mechanism and this could generate a
significant amount of froth that may be sucked through the inlet filter. The
emulsified oil has a reduced lubricating capacity.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 75 -

SECTION 4
The frame can contain up to:
60 liters
After filling the frame, the external oil circuit must be filled.
Start the electric pump and make sure there is no residual air in the circuit, in particular in the
filter and in the coolant. Air in the circuit can be indicated by:
o unusual noises coming from the pump (due to cavitation).
o unstable oil pressure.
In this case, vent the air through the appropriate valves.
For more details, see the “P&ID” and the “Assembly drawing” enclosed with this manual.
Let the oil circulate for two minutes and then stop the pump.
NOTE: Before operating the pump, make sure the oil temperature is higher than or
equal to 10°C. Otherwise, heat the oil by means of the heater in the frame
Re-check the oil level in the frame and, if necessary, top up.
NOTE: The amount of oil required for filling the oil circuit varies according to the
complexity of the circuit. It is advisable to have more oil than that what the
frame can contain.
LUBRICANT
The lubricant must be top quality mineral oil, non-corrosive to common metals, antifriction and
suitable for forced circulation systems.
It must contain antioxidant inhibitors and additives that limit the formation of froth.
Do not use any oil containing grease, stable polymerization products, sulfur products, water, soaps,
resins or tar.

5.1 Information regarding residual risks during

preparation and first startup
RESIDUAL RISKS DURING PREPARATION AND FIRST STARTUP
The residual risks listed in Par. 3.3 must be taken into account also during preparation and first
startup.
Ignoring or neglecting these risks can cause accidents with injury and damage.
If the area in which the COMPRESSOR is installed is classified for the potential presence of an explosive
atmosphere or if the presence of flammable gas is deemed possible, do not use flames, devices or tools
that can generate sparks during use and no welding is allowed in the area.
SIGNS
The COMPRESSOR is provided with the safety signs (danger and prohibition) as described in Par. 3. 6 -
Information on Safety.
PRECAUTIONS FOR PREPARATION AND FIRST STARTUP

Before starting the COMPRESSOR it is necessary to consider the following precautions:
make sure that any moving part is provided with adequate guards and that they properly fixed.
make sure all personnel not involved in the operations are not in the vicinity of the COMPRESSOR
to be started.
make sure the ambient conditions are inside the design / contractual limits; the COMPRESSOR
cannot be started in ambient conditions different from the design / contractual conditions.
make sure the inlet and outlet pressures and temperatures are within the design limits. If this
requirement is not met, the COMPRESSOR may be subjected to stresses for which it is not
designed, resulting in the risk of injury and damage. Any changes with respect to the design
operating conditions must be appraised by SIAD MACCHINE IMPIANTI.
- 82 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 5
For the design conditions, refer to Par. 3. 7 – Proper and improper use of the compressor
relevant to this manual.
make sure the treated gas is a design gas and does not contain corrosive, encrusting, condensing
components or dusts that have not been clearly identified and considered during the machine.
design phase. The presence of these elements could affect the correct operation of the
COMPRESSOR, and create hazardous situations. For the characteristics of the gas, refer to Par. 3.
7 – Proper and improper use of the compressor relevant to this manual.
NOTE: The above also applies to all the components installed in the package.
5.2 Compressor preparation

Given below are all the operations necessary for preparing the COMPRESSOR before first startup.
NOTE: Make sure to carefully carry out the following operations; in case of
difficulty in carrying out any of them, the operator in charge of preparation
must consult SIAD Macchine Impianti technicians for appropriate solutions.
ELECTRIC POWER CIRCUIT

Make sure all electrical users are properly connected to the power supply system, and visually check
the connection cables.
Visually check all users for faults.
Turn on the power and arrange all users for starting.
ATTENTION: Make sure there is an efficient emergency stop button in an

easily-accessible place near the COMPRESSOR.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 83 -

SECTION 5
ELECTRO-INSTRUMENTATION CIRCUITS
Make sure all the electrical instruments are properly connected to the COMPRESSOR control system and
visually check the connection cables for faults.
Visually check all the instruments for faults (e.g. broken glass on gages, enclosures of electronic
transmitter circuits damaged or not properly closed, etc.)
Make sure the COMPRESSOR protection instruments are properly calibrated and that the intervention
thresholds are set to the required values as described in the “P&ID enclosed with this manual.
INSTRUMENT AIR CIRCUIT

Make sure all pneumatic users are properly connected to the instrument air supply system and
visually check the connection tubing for faults.
Visually check all users for faults.
If an external supply is available (min. 4 barg - max. 7 barg), pressurize the circuit by opening the
manual valve and make sure there are no air leaks.
Operate valve lifter devices by opening / closing solenoid valves repeatedly.
For more details on the structure of the circuit, see the “P&ID” enclosed with this manual.
NOTE: The availability of instrument air drawn from an external supply allows the
compressor to be started with no load. Once the compressor is started, when
the outlet operating pressure is reached and the final tank filled, it is possible
to cut off the external air supply and control compressor unload / load run
independently.
ATTENTION: At first startup, usually no instrument air is available to control

the valve lifting devices; in this case the compressor will start in
load run and immediately begin to compress air. This operation
is heavy for the compressor but not damaging; the operation
must be regarded as normal.
- 84 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 5
GREASING OF EXTERNAL SUPPORT THIRD BEARING

To lubricate bearing in the support on the outside of the frame, use mineral oil based grease; use good
quality lithium soap grease with consistency 2 or 3 of the NLGI scale, and if the ambient temperature
stays below 0°C for long periods of the year, it is advisable to only use grease of consistency 2.
The grease must be applied evenly on the support, providing for a recess for holding the excess grease
expelled by centrifugal force from the bearing during operation.
NOTE: The leakage of small amounts of grease from the support is normal after
first startup.
Yearly consumption: 700/900 g. approx.

Recommended grease:
Table 16 – Grease recommended for external support bearing
ESSO SHELL BP MOBIL
UNIREX N2, N3, S2 ALBIDA EMS 2 Energrease LCX 103 Mobilith SHC100
The COMPRESSOR comes complete with an automatic lubricator which must be activated at the time of
first startup.
For activation of the automatic lubricator, proceed as follows.
On the lubricator head there is a hex socket screw with 12 notches numbered “1” to “12”; the number
coincides with the time expressed in calendar months in which the lubricator is expected to become
empty. Turning the screw activates a battery located in the case and that begins the release of grease.
The lubricator will become empty in the set time, regardless of the fact that the COMPRESSOR is
running or idle, as the release is regulated by activation of the battery.
The recommended setting is “6”: this means that the grease should be replaced in any case after 6
months of its activation.
Once activated, the dispensing time can still be modified or stopped by means of the adjusting screw;
to stop dispensing it must be set to “0”.
IMI 2546 REV. 00 - 85 -

SECTION 5
ATTENTION: The dispensing speed depends on the ambient temperature as well as the
setting of the screw. The notches indicated have been calibrated for an
ambient temperature of +25°C. With an ambient temperature higher than
25°C the speed increases, which means that by setting “6” the grease
contained will be entirely dispensed in less than 6 months; for an ambient
temperature below 25°C, the duration exceeds 6 months.
GREASING OF DRIVE PARTS

Check which motors require greasing of the bearings; to do this, refer to the motor instructions
enclosed with this manual.
Greasing must be done in accordance with the relevant instructions enclosed with this manual.
COOLING FLUID CLOSED CIRCUIT

Make sure the circuit is completely filled with the selected cooling fluid; check the operation of the
cooling system and the intervention set point.
Check the direction of rotation of the pump.
Open all the shutoff valves and start the pump.
Make sure there are no leaks and vent the air from the highest points of the circuit.
For more details on the composition of the circuit, see the “P&ID” enclosed with this manual.
Before starting the COMPRESSOR make sure the cylinder inlet water temperature is higher than or
equal to the temperature of the cylinder inlet gas avoid condensation inside the cylinder.
ATTENTION: Condensate in the cylinders causes serious damage to the COMPRESSOR. If

excessive, the condensate can cause damaging bursts of liquid; also, the rod
seals wear out quickly and, once deposited in the sump, it mixes with the
crank mechanism oil, reducing its lubricating efficiency. Also the wear of
rings and seals can be affected by the condensate.
- 86 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 5
CRANK MECHANISM LUBRICATION

Make sure all the crank mechanism lubrication oil circuit components are properly connected, the
connection piping and/or tubing is in good condition and free of faults after a visual inspection.
Open all the shutoff valves, close the vents and drains.
Turn on the oil heater (if provided) and wait until the temperature reaches the minimum value
indicated in the Table below, depending on the nominal viscosity of the oil.
Table 17 – Crank mechanism lubrication oil minimum temperature at startup
Oil viscosity at 40°C Minimum temperature

cSt °C
150 10
NOTE: Before starting the COMPRESSOR, the oil must reach a minimum value
temperature sufficient to ensure good lubrication; a too viscous oil can
compromise lubrication of the crank mechanism.
Before starting the COMPRESSOR it is necessary to start the lubrication pump.

In oil circuits that are not insulated and/or routed, before starting the pump make sure the ambient
temperature is not lower than the flow temperature of the oil used, indicated in the oil technical data
sheet enclosed with this manual.
Check the direction of rotation of the pump.
After starting the pump, proceed with calibration of the pressure relief valve fitted on the pump outlet.
For this purpose, see the following procedure:
1. Completely close the oil pressure regulating
valve on the oil dispenser body. Pressure relief valve
2. Completely open the pressure relief valve on

the auxiliary pump delivery.
3. Start the pump.
4. Close the pressure relief valve until the
pressure gage on the oil dispenser body
reads 9 barg.

dispenser body until the pressure gage connected
to the pump body reads 6 barg.
During pump operation, make sure that there are no
oil leaks.
Leave the pump running for about ten minutes and
then stop it.
TRANSMISSION CHECK
Before starting the COMPRESSOR, make sure the transmission of motion between the motor and
COMPRESSOR occurs freely and without obstruction on all 360° of rotation of the flywheel.
The following operations must be carried out.

Remove (even partially) the transmission guard and rotate the flywheel manually by pulling the belts
in the direction of COMPRESSOR rotation. Do at least one complete revolution of the flywheel. After
checking proper operation without hindrance, refit the previously removed guard.
DANGER: The above operation must be performed with extreme caution;

before starting any work you must make sure that the electric
motor COMPRESSORcan not be started even accidentally. Also
make sure to operate with caution when starting the
COMPRESSOR.
SCRAPER RING ASSEMBLY MANUAL LUBRICATION

It is advisable not to operate the scraper rings dry during startup, and to prevent initial wear and to
avoid damaging the rod.
Therefore, before startup it is important to manually lubricate the
scraper ring assembly located at the bottom of the distance piece as
shown in the image opposite.
Remove the door of the distance piece and lubricate using a manual
lubricator filled with the same type of oil used in the COMPRESSOR
crankcase.
- 88 - IMI 2546 REV. 00

SECTION 5
Leave the distance piece door open during first startup in order to lubricate the scraper ring assembly
also during the first few minutes of COMPRESSOR operation; close the door at the end of first startup.
ATTENTION: The above operation must be carried out with extreme caution; use a
lubricator with a sufficiently long spout so that the operator does not have to
go near the moving parts.
DANGER: Never put hands inside the distance piece with the COMPRESSOR
running.
COMPRESSOR AND MOTOR DIRECTION OF ROTATION CHECK

It is advisable to always check the direction of rotation of the motor and COMPRESSOR.
The check is especially important for the motor in case of an air-cooled motor, since the cooling fan
may not be two-way.
The check is important for the COMPRESSOR because the direction of rotation affects the operation of
the crank mechanism mechanical lubrication pump. The pump can generate pressure only in the
correct direction of rotation.
Check the direction of rotation of the motor and
COMPRESSOR by starting the already coupled
electric motor.
Turn the motor off within 10 seconds after startup.
The direction of rotation of the COMPRESSOR must
be:
CLOCKWISE
seen from oil filter side.
The direction of rotation of the motor must be that
indicated by the arrow on the casing.

5. That indicated is the minimum frequency. The possibility of extending the frequency,
depending on the application, can be verified with SIAD Macchine Impianti. For this
operation, the intervention of SIAD Macchine Impianti specialized personnel is advisable. This
involves a careful visual and dimensional check of all the mechanical components of the crank
mechanism and the main oil pump of the COMPRESSOR.
6. The cleanness of the water circuit is extremely important for the efficiency of the machine.
Periodic cleaning must be scheduled, depending on the quality of the cooling circuit water, to
preserve the efficiency of the refrigerants and water circulation chambers in the cylinders.
Users can implement their own cleaning procedures provided they are compatible with the
material involved; SIAD Macchine Impianti proposes a simple washing procedure sufficient to
ensure the efficiency of the cooling circuit.
In case of using hard water, it is necessary to periodically descale the cooling circuit as
follows:
• Circulate a 5% solution of HCl (hydrochloric or muriatic acid) at 40-50°C for 2
hours by means of the pump.
• Then circulate a 5% solution of NaOH (caustic soda) at ambient temperature
for about 2 hours.
• Flush with clean water, eliminating all traces of acid.
N.B. It is necessary to keep the fluids moving, to avoid the “BATTERY” effect with the

1. AIM
This specification is to give some general rules to make cieaning,

conservation and protection of compression groups with reciprocating
compressors.
2. APPLICATION FIELD
This specification is applicable to compression groups with reciprocating

compressors manufactured by SIAD MACCHINE IMPIANTI supplied in
package unit and pertinent to the storage period before start-up and operatinq
or for long inactivity in the plant for different causes.
3. CONSERVATION BEFORE STARTING UP AND OPERATING
3.1. General
Operations for compression groups conservation before starting up and

operating have to be programmed in relation to the packing ways and to the
storage period.
3.2. Packing with thermowelded cover
The group must not be removed from the packing and must be conserved in a
dry place not subject to dust, sand, rain and sun.
In this case the compressor is putted into a thermowelded bag. The bag is
water, moisture, heat and saltness proof and contains inside some little bags
filled with drying salts.
With this kind of packing the groups can be left packed inside the storage
place for one year.
N.
foglio 4 di 5
sheet of
rev. 0
After this period it needs to open the bag and to make the conservation in
accordance with point 3.3.2.
3.3. Packing without thermowelded cover
Compression groups conservation judgments with traditional packing, cage or

case, without thermowelded cover, are related to the storage time.
3.3.1 Storage till six months
It is sufficient that the group is not removed from the packing and it is
conserved in a dry place not subject to dust, sand, rain and sun.
3.3.2 Storage over six months
In this case, after the first six months, it is necessary to open the case and to
wash periodically with dry nitrogen the gas and water circuits.
This work must be done only for carbon steel pipes, taking away the screwed
cap on the inlet and outlet valve holders, and biowing nitrogen at low pressure
for about 15-20 minutes.
During the washing all intermediate and vent valves must be opened. At the
same time it must be done a sign on the upper part of the flywheel and, after
having revolved it two or three turns, put the sign at about 90° from the original
position.
These operations must be done every 25-30 days.
If, during these operations, the painting was damaged in some points it is
advisable to reproduce it to avoid corrosion.
4. CONSERVATION DURING INACTIVITY PERIODS
When the compression group is stopped for more or less long time it is
necessary to follow the operations described at point 3.3.2.
N.
foglio 5 di 5
sheet of
rev. 0
Besides, when the periodic washinq with nitrogen is done, it is necessary to

control with a seeing analysis, that there are no corrosion points or foreign
materiai presence inside the valves chamber, the distance piece and the
crank mechanism.
This analysis is done taking away the vaIve holders, the distance piece and
crank mechanism doors.
If the machine is placed at open air, it is advisable to protect the instruments

with water proof bags.

2 - Safety requirements
Before proceeding with the assembly operations ensure that:
The staff assigned to preparing and carrying out the operations described in this procedure
are equipped with the appropriate PPE required for the relevant area.
The machine is properly secured to the base
The machine has been carefully depressurized and isolated from the mains power supply.
If the machine remains connected to the sources of electricity, make sure that the emergency
stop button has been previously operated and locked in the open position and that in any case
all the power switches are off and locked in that position.
3 - Requirements for environmental protection

To perform the operations described in this procedure it is required to use:
lubricating fluids: oils, greases.
rags or paper soaked in thinners or other substances used for cleaning the various parts of the
compressor.
material for gaskets made of asbestos-free fibres.
The personnel assigned to testing must ensure that this material is reused and/or disposed of
according to the operating instructions TS-HSE 01.
4- Application
The external bearing supports are mounted at the end of the crankshaft to prevent deflection
due to the tension of the transmission belts, especially when high power electric motors are
used.
This procedure applies only to the installation of the external bearing support. It is assumed that the two
main crankshaft bearings and the support are already perfectly aligned.
The following equipment is required:

- Dial gauge and support (to be placed on the shaft support saddle)
- Deflection gauge
- Feeler gauge
- Set of shims 0.05 – 0.10 mm

5 – Procedure
Foreword: Before proceeding with alignment, drain the oil from the crankcase since the
procedure requires the side doors to be open.
Fit the transmission without tensioning the belts.
If they are not already present, weld the plates to the saddle for the support displacements,
as shown below.

1. Fit the bearing at 70mm from the end of the shaft along with its tension bushing. Fit the
bushing by tapping its external surface with a punch while supporting the bearing's inner
ring from the other side with a pipe.
2. Tighten down the locknut and adjust the position of the bushing if it moves, as explained in
point 1. The tightening torque must be such as to permit a clearance of 0.05-0.06 mm
between the bearing rollers and the outer ring. Check that the 0.05-0.06mm feeler gauge
fits between the bearing's external ring and the rollers. If not, repeat the procedure by
reducing (if the clearance is less) or increasing the tightening torque. Finish by securing the
locknut with its feather key.
3. Grease the bearing and completely fill the lower part of the support with grease (see
photo).

Technical Guideline

4. Assemble the upper part of the support to its lower part and tighten down its bolts. Slide
the supporting saddle between the baseframe and the support and secure it to the
baseframe with the bolts and pins.
5. Fit a dial gauge to the shaft outside the external bearing so that it is resting on the upper or
lower part of the shaft (see figure 1). The dial gauge must be exactly vertical, as far as the
dimension of the instrument itself permits.
6. Tighten down the bolts securing the bearing support to the saddle so as to check the
consequent drop of the shaft with the dial gauge. Slacken off the bolts securing the support
to the saddle and fit shims to offset the measured drop. (To fit these shims, raise the shaft
with two wedges made of teflon, wood or any other available material that is not as hard as
the shaft itself). Now tighten down the bolts again and check the drop with the dial gauge; if
necessary, fit more shims to offset it. The residual drop may not be more than 0.05mm.
Proceed now with vertical and horizontal alignment as shown below. These operations may
require changing the shims applied previously.

VERTICAL ALIGNMENT
7. Open the crankcase doors and fit the deflection gauge between the counterweights. If the
deflection gauge reference centres are not already present, machine a boss on the
counterweights (see figures 2 and 3 in the annex)
8. Rotate the shaft by hand using the flywheel until the counterweights are at their bottommost
position and the crank is vertical at top position.
9. Zero the deflection gauge
10. Turn the crankshaft both clockwise and counterclockwise through 120° (so as to prevent
interference with the connecting rods) and read off the variation in distance between the
counterweights in both directions of rotation.
Conventions and definitions:

Clockwise rotation from flywheel side = LH rotation
Counterclockwise rotation from flywheel side = RH rotation
rh = change read on the dial gauge with the shaft turned right
lh = change read on the dial gauge with the shaft turned left
LEGENDA
Vista compressore lato volano View of compressor from flywheel side
Rotazione sx-dx lh-rh rotation
Spostamento in accordo al tiro cinghie Displacement in direction of belt tension
Spostamento direzione opposte al tiro cinghie Displacement away from belt tension
11. Depending on the readings, fit or remove shims as indicated below.
ǻrh and ǻlh both indicate (positive) that the counterweights move toward each other
during rotation => remove shim under the support
ǻrh and ǻlh both indicate (negative) that the counterweights move away from each
other during rotation => add shim under the support
12. When adding or removing shims, you must first slacken off and then tighten down the bolts
13. repeat steps 8 to 12 until the read variation is < 0.02 mm(+- 0)

rev. 0 1 2
HORIZONTAL ALIGNMENT
The shaft is now aligned vertically. The tension of the drive belts results in a further deformation of
the shaft which must be compensated for as described below.
14. Place the dial gauge on the saddle to read the horizontal displacement of the bearing, and zero it
15. Tighten the belts to the correct value through the motor slide and lock down the motor.
16. Rotate the flywheel so that the counterweights are at bottom position and the crank is vertical at
top position.
17. Zero the deflection gauge located between the counterweights
18. Turn the crankshaft both clockwise and counterclockwise through 120° (so as to prevent
interference with the connecting rods) and read off the variation in distance between the
counterweights in both directions of rotation.
19. Depending on the reading, the bearing support shall be moved in the direction of the belt tension
(towards the motor) or away from it, as shown below. (For the definitions, see point 10)
ǻrh indicates that the counterweights move toward

each other and
ǻlh indicates that the counterweights move away from
each other
move the support towards the motor
(direction of belt tension) with bolt B

ǻrh indicates that the counterweights move away from each other and
ǻlh indicates that the counterweights move toward each other
move the support in the OPPOSITE direction
to the direction of belt tension with bolt A (further away from the motor)

20. To move the bearing support, proceed as follows

a. completely slacken off the belt through the motor slides
b. slacken off the support fixing bolts
c. use the adjusting screws to move the support
d. tighten down the support fixing bolts
e. tighten the belts to the correct value through the motor slides
21. Repeat steps 16 to 20 until the maximum absolute value (with no sign) is <= 0.04mm (cfr. note 1)
The shaft is now aligned, note down the reading values on the production check list (griglia di
fabbricazione)
22. Remove the dial gauges
23. Mount the crankcase doors and fill the crankcase with lubricating oil.
Note 1: The value of the variations ǻrh and ǻlh after horizontal alignment is the sum of the changes
resulting from the vertical and horizontal alignment.
For example:
- after vertical alignment ǻrh = ǻlh = + 0.02mm
- after horizontal alignment ǻrh = - 0.01mm ǻlh = + 0.05mm
This means that the horizontal misalignment alone is ± 0.03mm.
Indeed:
ǻrh for horizontal misalignment alone = -0.01 – 0.02 = - 0.03
ǻrh for horizontal misalignment alone = +0.05 – 0.02 = + 0.03

ARTICO
Artico is a fluid with an ethylene glycol-based formulation, containing an additive package free from amino
compounds, nitrite and phosphates, to be added to water for use in motor car cooling circuits, including
those using aluminium components.
CHARACTERISTICS (THYPICAL FIGURES)
ANTIFREEZE
Color - - Blue light
Absolute Gravity at 15/4°C AS TM D 1122 kg/l 1.130
Boiling point ASTM D 1120 °C 170
MAIN PROPERTIES
- Artico lowers the freezing point of the coolant to required limits which may be varied by changing the
concentration of the product in water.
- As its composition and characteristics remain unchanged both during storage and use, it can be kept
permanently in operation both in winter and in summer.
- Artico contains an additive package for the protection of metals in engine cooling systems, as it does not
use amino compounds and nitrites, well known toxic substances.
- Artico does not have acidity characteristics and performs a protective action on metals used in cooling
systems, such as copper, brass, soldering alloys and particularly aluminium..
- Its particular anti-rust properties help preserve the ferrous metals with which it comes into contact.
- Its remarkable antifoam properties contribute to keep the cooling system thermal exchange efficient.
- Artico does not cause swelling of the rubber parts included in the cooling system and in contact with the
fluid.
- Artico raises the coolant boiling point with consequent improvement of performance even at high
temperatures.
FIELD OF APPLICATION
Artico is specially formulated to be used in mixture with water in cooling circuits on motor vehicles of any
type and model.
Depending on the coolant mixture freezing point required, add to water the Artico percentage shown in the
following table:
FREEZING POINT ARTICO

ARTICO
The same mixture is also recommended for the hot season, as evaporation losses and the need for
frequent topping up are thus reduced. Also mineral salt deposits, left by evaporated water in the radiator,
are thus reduced.
PERFORMANCE
ARTICO passes the tests required by the following specifications:
- CUNA NC 956-16 (1997 Edition)

- ASTM D 1384

E-mail: info@alaxitalia.it – www.alaxitalia.it
Inhalation: This product has a low vapour pressure, and in normal conditions at
ambient temperature the concentration in the air is negligible. A
significant concentration may build up only if the product is used at
high temperature, or in case of sprays and mists.
In these cases overexposure to vapours (e.g. through prolonged use in
confined insufficiently ventilated spaces) may cause irritation to
airways, nausea and dizziness.
Aspiration of liquid into the lungs: The aspiration of small amounts of foreign substances into the lungs
may cause irritation and inflamation (chemical pneumonia). Taking into
account the composition of the product, however, this possibility
should be regarded as unlikely.
Other information: Any substance, in case of accidents involving pressurized circuits and
the like, may be accidentally injected under the skin, even without
external damage. In such a case, the victim should be brought to an
hospital as soon as possible, to get specialized medical treatment.
3 - Environmental hazards:
Important hazards: This product is not classified as dangerous to the environment,
according to the criteria set by the EU.

1. SCOPE
This Technical Guide is aimed at representing a guideline to the various

designers or users in the dedicated section ‘Hoses installation and maintenance’,
since their life is influenced by several factors that shorten it.
2. APPLICABILITY
This Technical Guide applies to all compressors “Vito” type.
3. NOTES ON SAFETY
Below a list of some potential situations/conditions that may cause damages to

people or property. Of course, this list cannot include all possible conditions but
intends to be a basic guide to prevent and eliminate possible risks and accidents:
 Whiplash
In the event of hoses with connections burst or break, fittings may be

removed and thrown away at high speed, while the hose may wave and
generate whiplash. Should this actually happen, consider suitable retention
tools for the hose with connections .
 Fluid burn risks

Fluids used in the different circuits may reach temperatures that could burn
human skin easily.
In such situations (and in particular in the operator’s area), always protect

the hose with devices that prevent the operator from damages.
 Fire or explosions
In certain situations, the fluids used in the different plants (including fire-
resistant fluids), may ignite.
In the event of pressure drops, easily flammable sprays may emerge when
in contact with heat sources.
Do not forget to always select, install and protect the hose to keep the risks
of fire low (refer to ISO 3457 section 5).
 Fire or explosions due to electrical discharge

Pressurised fluids, flowing inside hoses, generate an accumulation of
electrostatic charges which, turn into sparks and may ignite (in the event of
leaks) the transported fluid or gas.
If and where possible, always select hoses with conducting substrate.

Foglio di

 Electrical shock
Should the hose conduct electricity through the human body, it may cause
electrical shock.
Most hoses contain metallic reinforcements and their end fittings are
metallic, as well. Even non-conducting hoses can generate electrical
discharges when they convey conductive fluids.
BE CAREFUL: when installing hoses near electricity sources. When this is

not possible, remember that regulation SAE J517 requires the SAE 100R7
and SAE 100R8 range with orange/red cover marked "non-conducting".
4. HOSES SELECTION AND INSTALLATION
There are many factors that influence hoses life, the hydraulic system operational
functionality and their combined effects are often hard to predict.
For this reason, carefully consider the following factors:
 Pressure
Higher system pressures significantly shorten hoses life.
Carefully analyse the plant’s features and assess pressure peaks and pulsating
frequencies adequately.
After establishing plant’s pressure, the hose must be selected so that the
maximum working pressure is the same or higher than the operating system’s.
SAE J1927 regulation provides a method that helps predicting hose’s working life
shortening based on a specific hydraulic application, especially according to
pressure peaks and pulsating frequencies.
 Temperature
Static and transitory plant’s pressure never has to be higher than the hose’s.
Be particularly careful when hoses are placed near heat sources such as
collectors or manifolds, (in order to slow hose’s aging),
Always use protection systems such as protective or insulating sheaths, installing

the hose in the plant as far as possible from heat sources.
 Material compatibility
Among the many factors that may influence the compatibility between hoses and
its fluid, the following must be taken into consideration:
Foglio di
5 13
Sheet of
Rev. 0
I. fluid pressure
II. temperature
III. concentration
IV. exposure period duration
In particular, check fluid compatibility not only with the hose conducting substrate,
but also with reinforcing elements, cover and fittings.
Always apply to the hose manufacturer for further information.
NOTE: many compatibility features between hoses and their fluids refer to 21°C
approx. ambient temperature.
However, fluid properties may change at temperatures other than ambient’.
In case of doubts, always apply to the hose manufacturer for further information.
 External environment
The external environment may deteriorate tubes and their fittings. Carefully
assess some of the most significant conditions:
I. ultraviolet light
II. salt water
III. air pollution
IV. temperature
V. ozone
VI. chemical products
VII. electricity
VIII. abrasion
In case of doubts, always apply to the hose manufacturer for further

information.

 Unintended use
Hoses are designed to support internal pressure gradients. As a

consequence, they do not have to be subject to tensile loads or external
forces that could also damage end fittings.
 Internal cleaning
Plant’s components non contamination requirements determine cleaning levels
for the specific concerned application.
Hoses with connections have different cleaning levels.
If necessary, always specify the values required for the concerned plant or apply
to the hose manufacturer for further information.
 End fittings
Hoses always have to be compatible with the fittings used for the system
circuit connection.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully, in particular if they comply with

SAE J517 regulations.
Manufacturer's end fittings are not usually compatible with those supplied by
another manufacturer (for example, a manufacturer's insert in another
manufacturer's bushing).
It’s up to the assembly technician to contact the hose manufacturer for the
most appropriate hose/joint coupling solution choice.
An improper tube-joint coupling choice is indeed the main cause of leaks or

slips that can cause damages to people or things, as here already stated.
 Vibrations
Vibrations can also reduce hose’s life.
Where necessary, carry out vibration tests on the hose, to check vibration
amplitude and frequency. If necessary, use clamps or other similar devices to
reduce its effect.
 Hose cover protection
Protect the hose cover from damages due to abrasions, erosion, frictions and
cuts.
Install the hose carefully avoiding its coming into contact with other hoses or
surfaces that can spoil the cover (figure 1).

 External physical stress
Install the hose to avoid:
I. tensile stress
II. side loads
III. crushing
IV. threads damages
V. bends under the minimum curve radius
VI. damages to contact surfaces
VII. abrasion
VIII. torsion
IX.
 Adapter with swivel nut
Adapters with swivel nut always have to be used since they do not transfer
torsion effects during hose monitoring
 Swivel fittings
When two components are in reciprocal rotation, it’ll be necessary to use

swivel fittings to eliminate all torsional effects
Foglio di

 Guides and clamps
Always use guides or clamps to support hoses of a certain length or to

prevent their coming into contact with moving parts or subjected to abrasion
risks
 Minimum bending radius
The minimum bending radius is specified in regulation SAE J343 or in

manufacturer’s technical documents.
Installations under the minimum bending radius reduce its life significantly.
Similarly, excessive bending near fittings can lead to a quick hose

deterioration and, then to burst (Figures 2A and 2B).

5. HOSES INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT
A proper hoses installation has the following advantages:
 can reduce extraordinary maintenance interventions considerably;

 maintain the system at its maximum efficiency, reducing the risk of
damage to people or property
It’s therefore recommended to follow the below advices for both hoses with
connections in new plants and when replacing hoses with connections in
already working plants
 Pre-installation checks
Check the hose with connections before assembly accurately, paying

particular attention to:
I. hose’s length and its compliance with design data
II. external and dimensional features, diameter and marking
III. fittings seal surfaces and their finish level (lack of burrs or other
damages)
NOTE: before replacing a hose with connections, always check its

correspondence with the original
 Tube handling before installation
Handle the hose with care before installation.
Stressing or bending the hose to a minimum radius may shorten its working
life significantly. Avoid tight bendings near fittings.
 Torsion radius and orientation
The assembled hose life with fittings in torsion shortens significantly.
Under these conditions, end fittings may also detach.
To avoid torsion, make sure the marking is always linear.
If necessary, draw a reference line on the tube cover. (figure 3)

FIGURE 3 – TORSION ANGLE AND ORIENTATION
CORRECT WRONG
 Safety and protection
In many applications, it may be required to contain, cover or channel the hose.

These additional protections will not have, in any case, rise additional stress
or wear problems on the hose.
 Installation
Follow the general installation recommendations in section C and make sure

that the hose’s housing in the plant is the best possible.
 Fittings tightness
The end fittings seal surface has the purpose of offering the best seal during
the hose utilization.
Each type of connection requires different type of torsional loads, especially

considering the surface material and surface treatment. In these cases always
use dynamometric keys to avoid “over-torsional effect” on the fitting.
 System control
At installation completion, vent all air from the circuit before pressurising it
definitely.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to prevent leaks or anomalous

malfunctions.
To avoid damages during final plant’s check
I. do not touch any part of the plant during seal test
II. keep away from areas at risk during plant’s tests
III. set pressure to zero again before tightening connections

6. PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE CHECK
An efficient preventive maintenance program on holes and fittings can reduce

extraordinary maintenance frequency significantly, keep the plant at its
maximum efficiency levels and reduce the risk of damages to people and
things.
It is therefore recommended to implement the following preventive measures:
 Control frequency
The plant type, the past experience gained and manufacturer’s suggestions
should be always previously taken into consideration to establish the visual,
functional and preventive control frequency.
 Visual check (hoses and fittings)
Visually check hoses and fittings and evaluate:
I. hose or fittings leaks
II. damaged, cut or scraped cover
III. unprotected reinforcement
IV. flattened hoses, bent under the minimum cover radius or in torsion
V. hardened hoses, with burnt or overheated cover
VI. cover with abrasions, deteriorated or with poor adhesion
VII. damaged or corroded fittings
VIII. improperly secured fittings or not clamped to the hose
IX. other non-conformities or significant wear
Should one of the above conditions be found, re-check the joined tube or
replace it.
 Visual check (other components)
When checking tubes and joints, also check connected parts to assess
I. connections and their seal
II. any damages due to missing guides, clamps or protective sheaths
III. excessive dirt or foreign fragments around the tube
IV. fluid in the system: level, type, cleanliness and any trapped air
