1.5 Theory of Operation
1.5.1 Drive
The drive motor of the C-D/DV/Navy is a 6 horsepower, Yanmar diesel motor. The drive shaft of the
motor transfers its power through use of a sheave and V-belt to the compressor’s combination flywheel
and cooling fan. The compressor’s flywheel rotates the compressor’s driveshaft, which operates the pis-
tons and oil pump.
1.5.2 Air Flow
(See Figure 1-3). The air is drawn in through intake filter (1), compressed to the final pressure in cylin-
ders (2, 3, 4,) and cooled by intercoolers (5, 6) and aftercooler (7). The safety valves (8,9, 10) protect
from overpressure in the individual stages. The compressed air is filtered by intermediate separator (11)
and oil/water separator (12). The intermediate separator (11) and oil and water separator (12) are drained
by condensate drain valves (13). The compressed air proceeds from the oil water separator to the purifica-
tion chamber (14) and is filtered through a purification cartridge (15). The compressed air exits the puri-
fication assembly (16) where it proceeds to the pressure maintaining valve and air outlet.

CHAPTER 2: OPERATION
2.1 Initial Use
2.1.1 General
The safety, unpacking, handling and installation instructions applicable to this product are contained in
the Appendix. They must be read, understood and complied with prior to operating the product.
Observe and maintain an ambient temperature range of 32° F to 115° F. The area in which the compressor
unit is installed should be well lit and easily accessible to facilitate servicing and routine maintenance.
2.1.2 Preoperational Tasks
Before activating the compressor unit for the first time the following tasks must be completed.
1. Visually check the oil dipstick shown in Figure 2-1 to verify the amount of oil in the crankcase. The
oil dipstick is located just to the left of the intake filter. The oil level should fall between the mini-
mum and maximum marks.

Figure 2-1 Compressor Oil Dipstick

^ CAUTION
Do not overfill the compressor with oil.

2. Using a Bauer purification wrench (Bauer part number WRH-0005) remove the purification cham-
ber cap and install the purification cartridges as shown in Figure 2-2. Make sure all dust caps are
removed, the O-rings are lubricated, the cartridge seats properly and the chamber vent valve is
closed. Reseal the purification chamber cap using the purification wrench.

3. Ensure the fill hose (Figure 2-3) is connected to the adapter that attaches to the pressure maintaining
valve as seen in Figure 2-4. Tighten the fitting hand tight plus one half of a turn being careful not to
cross thread or strip the threads on the hose connection.

Figure 2-3 Fill Hose

June 1, 2010 Page 8


C-D/DV/Navy

Figure 2-4 Hose Connection Figure 2-5 Air Intake Hose

4. Once the hose connections are secured install the compressor air intake hose (See Figure 2-5) to the
intake filter, located on the 1st stage of the compressor. Secure the hose with a proper sized hose
clamp. Ensure that the compressor air intake is supplied with fresh air. The intake air must not con-
tain any exhaust fumes or flammable vapors such as paint solvents, which may cause an internal
fire. Make sure that the intake air is unobstructed and moisture in the intake air is kept to a mini-
mum. It is important that units draw in clean air. The quality of the incoming air determines the
quality of the compressed air.
5. Bleed off any internal pressure by opening the bleed valve and manual drain valves. Then Close
them prior to starting the unit. The bleed valve is located at the outlet side of the purification cham-
ber (See Figure 2-6). The manual drain valves are on the bottom of the intermediate separator and
the bottom of the oil/water separator (See Figure 2-7).

6. The last step before the initial start of the compressor is to visually inspect the moisture indicator,
(See Figure 2-6) for evidence of cartridge saturation. Under normal conditions the element in the
moisture indicator is blue and changes to pink with elevated levels of moisture.

2.2 Routine Use


2.2.1 Prestart Checks
1. Ensure that all scheduled maintenance is completed. Refer to Chapter 4, Maintenance Schedule.
2. Check compressor oil level. Refer to Paragraph 2.1.2
3. Read and understand the Yanmar Engine Manual supplied with this manual.
4. Check compressor drive engine oil level. Refer to the Yanmar Engine Manual.
5. Visually inspect the moisture indicator, for evidence of cartridge saturation, See Figure 2-6. Under
normal conditions the element in the moisture indicator is blue and changes to pink with elevated
levels of moisture.

2.2.2 Diesel Engine Start-up Procedure


1. Complete all pre-start checks.
2. Verify that all connections downstream of the compressor are secure.
3. Open the bleed valve and manual drain valves to relieve any internal pressure then close them.
4. Check the fuel level and refill the fuel tank if required.
5. Open the fuel valve. (See Figure 2-8).
6. Move the START/STOP control to the START position (See Figure 2-9)
7. Pull recoil starter handle until resistance is felt then return it slowly (See Figure 2-10).

^ CAUTION
Do Not Attempt To Start The Engine Until Step 7 Is Completed!
Failure to complete this step could result in damage to the recoil starter.

8. Push down the Decompression Lever and release it. (See Figure 2-11). This relieves the pressure in
the engine allowing the engine to start unloaded.
9. Quickly pull recoil starter handle out to its full length. Repeat this process as many times as neces-
sary to start engine. Do not use excessive force as this might damage the recoil starter internal com-
ponents.

2.2.3 Post Start Procedures


1. Listen to the unit as it operates. A loud knocking sound may be heard until the final stage pressure is
equalized. If excessive knocking or vibrations are observed or they continue past ten seconds, shut
down the compressor.
2. The compressor flywheel should be rotating counterclockwise. If it is not, shut down the compres-
sor and contact the Bauer Customer Service Department.
3. Allow the compressor to build pressure until the Final Relief Valve lifts. This confirms that the sys-
tem has no leaks. The Final Relief Valve is located on top of the Oil and Water Separator. (See Fig-
ure 2-12).
4. Once Step 3 is completed the compressor is ready to fill bottles.
5. The manual condensate drain valves must be opened and the condensate allowed to drain for 6 sec-
onds every 15 minutes while the compressor is operating.

6. Due care must be taken to ensure that any oil which is drained with the condensation is disposed of
properly.
7. For compressor troubleshooting See Paragraph 3.1.8.1.1.

Figure 2-12 Final Relief Valve

2.2.4 Bottle Fill Procedures


1. Attach approved storage bottles to the fill hose assembly. Use only bottles approved for the
intended service.

^ CAUTION
Minimum bend radius for the fill hose is 1½ inches. Less than this will cause damage to or failure of
the fill hose. Place the bottle so that the bend radius of the hose is greater than 1½ inches.

2. Adjust the fill pressure regulator to the proper fill pressure. Never exceed the storage bottle rating.
3. With the proper storage bottle connected, open the fill valve then the bottle valve.
4. After the bottle is filled close the bottle valve first then the fill valve.
5. Open the Vent valve to vent the fill hose assembly.
6. Carefully disconnect the fill hose assembly and remove the filled bottle.

CHAPTER 3: COMPRESSOR BLOCK - KC-FH CAPITANO
3.1 Maintenance and Parts
3.1.1 Description
The KC-FH Capitano compressor is used to compress air up to 5,000 psi.
This compressor is a three stage, three cylinder air cooled, oil lubricated reciprocating compressor. The
cylinders are arranged in a “W” configuration, the 1st stage cylinder is in the center, 2nd stage on the
right and 3rd stage on the left looking from the filter side. These compressor blocks are particularly suit-
able for continuous operation because of their rugged design and corrosion resistant intermediate filter
and cooler assemblies.

3.1.3 Lubrication System (See Figure 3-2)


The compressor is provided with force-feed lubrication for the third stage. The oil pump (1) is driven by
a cam on the crankshaft. It pumps oil into the oil pressure regulator (2) at the 3rd stage. The oil pressure
regulator maintains the proper working pressure.
Any oil not needed by the 3rd stage cylinder returns to the crankcase through the feedback tube (3). The
oil, splashed by the drive gear, lubricates the other moving parts, such as the crankshaft, connecting rods,

June 1, 2010 Page 14


C-D/DV/Navy
cylinders and pistons, and returns into the oil sump. The cylinder and piston of the 1st stage are addition-
ally lubricated by oil vapors from the crankcase vent feedback line (4).

Figure 3-2 Lube Oil Circuit

2 1

3.1.3.1 Type of Oil


For proper care and maintenance of the compressor, using the correct oil is of vital importance. Due to the
thermal load on the compressor only high quality oil should be used. You are recommended to restrict
oils to those which have been approved by us and are listed in Section 1.4.
3.1.3.2 Oil Level Check
Check the oil level daily before starting the compressor.
1. Vent any residual air pressure from the system by opening and then closing the manual condensate
drain valves.
2. Open the filler cap slowly, allowing any residual pressure to vent from the crankcase.
3. Remove the cap/dipstick from the oil filler neck. (See Figure 3-3)
4. Wipe the dipstick with a lint-free cloth.
5. Return the oil cap/dipstick to the filler neck completely, then remove and note the oil level on the
dipstick. The oil level must be between the marks on the dipstick (See Figure 3-4).
6. Add or drain oil as necessary.

^ CAUTION
The oil level must not exceed the maximum level mark on the dipstick, as this will cause
excessive lubrication of the compressor and may result in coking of the valves.

3.1.3.4 Venting the Oil Pump


If little or no oil pressure builds up after starting the unit, especially after maintenance or repair work,
venting the oil pump will be necessary. Refer to Figure 3-5 and proceed as follows:
1. With the compressor and the inlet supply shut off, the power disconnected (if applicable) and the
crankcase vented, remove the tube nut and tube (1) from the oil pump.
2. Turn the compressor by hand until bubble-free oil emerges from the fitting. This should only take a
few seconds.
3. Position the tube and tube nut (1) and retighten.

Figure 3-6 Oil Pressure Regulator

3.1.3.5 Oil Pressure Regulator


(See Figure 3-6)
The oil pressure regulator is mounted on the 3rd stage cylinder. The regulator valve can be adjusted by
removing the cap nut (1) and turning the set screw (2) in the oil pressure regulator block (3). Adjustment
should only be performed by a trained technician. The oil pressure regulator should be adjusted while the
unit is in operation.

NOTICE
Turning the screw clockwise increases pressure; counterclockwise reduces pressure.

Use an oil pressure gauge connected to the oil pressure regulator test connector (4) to read the oil pres-
sure. For units with an installed oil pressure gauge, observe the oil pressure indicated on the instrument
panel.

3.1.4 Intake Filter


3.1.4.1 Description
A dry, micronic filter is used to filter the intake air. See Figure 3-7.

Figure 3-7 Intake Filter

3.1.4.2 Intake Filter Maintenance


The filter cartridge must be cleaned and changed at regular intervals. See the Maintenance Schedule for
the recommended interval.
1. Clean the filter cartridge with a brush or by blowing air from the inside of the cartridge to the out-
side.
2. Turn the cartridge 90° when replacing it. Change the cartridge filter after it has been turned three
times and thus is dirty on all sides.
3. Clean the inside of the filter body with a damp cloth. take care to prevent dust from entering the
intake pipe.
4. Replace the O-rings if necessary.

3.1.5 Intermediate Separator


An intermediate separator is mounted on the compressor after the 2nd stage. This separator is designed to
remove oil and water which accumulates due to the cooling of the air after the compression process. Sep-
aration is achieved by means of centrifugal action. In the separator the centrifugal action is provided by a
vortex plate additionally a sintered metal filter is provided to remove dirt contamination.

^ WARNING
Dynamic Loading
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the intermediate separator during condensate draining
subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury
or death the intermediate separator must be replaced after 85,000 load cycles. A load cycle equals one
depressurization- repressurization. The Bauer recommended frequency of condensate draining is every
fifteen minutes and is a balance between maximizing the life of the oil and water separator chamber and
maintaining the quality of the delivered air.

3.1.5.1 Maintenance
Proper operation of the compressor requires that the intermediate separator be properly serviced. See the
Maintenance Schedule, Section 4 for the correct interval. See Figure 3-8 and proceed as follows:
1. Remove piping connected to the filter head.
2. Screw off the knurled nut.
3. Remove filter head along with the sintered metal filter.
4. Remove the center screw and separate the sintered metal filter, baffle cone, and vortex plate from
the filter head.

June 1, 2010 Page 20


C-D/DV/Navy
5. Use hot soapy water to clean the filter insert, rinse and blow it dry with compressed air.
3.1.6 Cooling
The cylinders of the compressor, the intermediate coolers and the after cooler are air cooled. For this pur-
pose the compressor is equipped with a fanwheel which draws the cooling air through the unit. The fan-
wheel is driven by the drive motor V-belt and is also used as the compressor flywheel.
3.1.6.1 Maintenance
When dirty, clean the finned tubes, valve heads and cylinders by blowing off the dirt and dust with low
pressure compressed air (80 -125 psi)
3.1.7 Compressor Valves and Heads
3.1.7.1 Functional Description.

Figure 3-9 Valve Operation

Intake Discharge

The intake and pressure valves are fitted inside the valve heads. Note that the valves are operated by the
flow of the medium. On the intake stroke, the intake valves open and the medium flows into the cylin-
ders. At the start of the pressure stroke the intake valve closes and the medium opens the pressure valve.
3.1.7.2 General Instructions for Changing the Valves
• Always replace valves as a complete set.
• Carefully clean dirty valves. Never use a sharp tool for this purpose. Soak the valves in Varsol and
clean with a soft brush.
• Check the individual components for excessive wear. If the valve seat or valve discs are dented,
replace the valves.
• Check the valve space in the valve heads for dirt, and clean if necessary.
• Use only satisfactory gaskets and O-rings during reassembly.
• Observe the correct sequence when reassembling.

Page 21 2nd Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 4


MNL-0237
• After finishing all maintenance work on the valves, turn the compressor manually using the flywheel
and check whether all items have been correctly installed.
• 30 minutes after restarting the compressor, stop the unit, let it cool down to ambient temperature, and
retighten valve studs and cap nuts. Otherwise the gasket set may cause a leak.
• Remove and check the valves every 1000 operating hours, unless otherwise specified in the Mainte-
nance Schedule.
• Replace the valves every 2000 operating hours to avoid fatigue failure, unless otherwise specified in
the Maintenance Schedule.

2. Unscrew and remove the socket head cap screws.
3. Lift the valve head off the piston cylinder.
4. Unscrew the valve cover (3) from the bottom of the valve head (1) using the valve tool provided
with the compressor unit.
5. Extract the inlet valve assembly (2) and discard the valve gasket (7). Replace the old gasket with a
new gasket.
6. Inspect the valve seat (6). The sealing surface must be in good condition: devoid of pitting or crack-
ing. The maximum valve seat width is 3/64” (1.0 mm). (See Figure 3-10).
7. Clean and inspect the valve plate (5). The maximum acceptable groove depth must not exceed 1/
128” (0.2 mm). (See Figure 3-10).
8. Check the tolerance of the inside diameter of the valve cover (3). It must not show any grooves at
ID 17 + 0.1 mm. (See Figure 3-10).
9. The valve spring is reusable if it shows no outside scuffing and the spring ends have not picked up
on the next coil.
10. The limits shown in Table 3-2 should also be checked. If any of these tolerances have been
exceeded, the valve assembly (2) should be replaced

3.1.7.5.3 Reassembly of the 2nd Stage Valve Head and Valves


To reassemble the valve head and valves, refer to Figure 3-13 and proceed as follows.
1. Before fitting the inlet valve to the valve head, grease the inlet valve plate slightly and place it cor-
rectly on the valve seat to make reassembly easier.

Page 27 2nd Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 4


MNL-0237
2. After having assembled the inlet valve, peen the valve head twice, once on each side of the valve, to
lock the threads in place.

Figure 3-14 Peening the Inlet Valve

3. Apply a temperature-resistant, non-age hardening RTV sealing compound to the sealing surface of
the valve head.
4. Torque the valve head cap screws to 18 ft lb. (25 Nm) in accordance with the sequence shown in
Appendix A before tightening the socket set screw (3) in order to avoid damage to the valve body
(8).
5. Tighten the socket set screw (3) with the appropriate size hex key.
6. Position the gasket (2) and dome nut (1) and tighten it with an open end wrench.
7. Reinstall the tube connections (13) to the valve head (22).

3. Place two screwdrivers into the groove of the pressure valve body (See Figure 3-16) and lift out the
pressure valve (5) together with the o-ring (4). If necessary, loosen the valve first, using a 13 mm
open-end wrench on the flat surfaces.
4. Check the o-ring. It should be in perfect condition (undamaged and non-porous). Replace it if nec-
essary.

3.1.8.1.2 Repair
Preventive maintenance usually involves replacing the valves, gaskets, and sealing rings as well as carry-
ing out the maintenance work. Repair work can be carried out on the compressor block to a certain extent
but a certain level of experience and skill is necessary. It should be noted however that no repair should
be carried out on the crankshaft nor on the bearings. Also safety valves are not repaired but always
replaced.

3.2 Manual Condensate Drain System
3.2.1 Description
The purpose of the manual condensate drain system is to provide a means to drain the filters of accumu-
lated condensation.
The manual condensate drain system consists of the following items:
1. Manual condensate drain valves on the intermediate filter and the oil and water separator.
2. Interconnecting tubing.
The manual drains on the intermediate and final separators should be tubed to a condensate collection
tank.

NOTICE
Condensate drained from the separators may be mixed with oil. Ensure that any oil which is drained with
the condensate is disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.

Figure 3-25 Manual Condensate Drains

1 2

1. Intermediate Separator Drain


2. Final Separator Drain
3.2.2 Operation
The manual condensate drain valves must be opened and the condensate allowed to drain every 15 min-
utes while the compressor is operating.
3.2.3 Unloaded start
On shut-down, open the intermediate and final separator manual condensate drain valves to drain con-
densation and remove pressure from the block. Close the drain valves after start up.
This operation performs two functions:
1. As pressure builds, the separators are cleared of accumulated condensation.
2. There is no load on the compressor during start-up.

^ CAUTION
All maintenance intervals refer to normal operating conditions. Operating the compressor under
extreme conditions like high temperatures, humidity or continuous operation may shorten the
intervals significantly. If in doubt, please contact the Bauer service department.

4.1.1 Maintenance Records


We recommend that all maintenance work be recorded, showing the date and details of the work carried
out. This will help to avoid expensive repairs caused by missed maintenance work. If it is necessary to
make a claim against the warranty, it will help to have proof that regular maintenance has been carried out
and that the damage has not been caused by insufficient maintenance. For this purpose Maintenance
Record Sheets are included in the Appendix and may be copied as required. Additionally a form for
recording operating hours is included and may be copied also.

of delivery, thus achieving constant optimum purification. It also assures proper working conditions for
the final stage of compression.
5.2.1.7 Safety Valve
The safety valve is located on the coalescing oil and water separator and acts as the safety valve for the
final stage of the compressor.

5.2.2 Maintenance
5.2.2.1 Cartridge Operating Life
Every P1 purification system is designed to process a certain volume of air before the purification car-
tridges require replacement. By using special test equipment that measures the quality of air at the outlet
any quality reduction may be detected. However as most compressor owners do not have this test equip-
ment the recommended method of determining purification cartridge operating life is to maintain a record
of the volume of air processed by the purification system.
Each compressor block is rated to produce a standard volume of air per minute and by using this figure
and the air processing capability of the purification system it is possible to calculate the maximum operat-
ing hours before the purification cartridges need to be replaced. See Paragraph 5.2.2.2 for the method of
determining this figure.
Ambient temperature of the intake air supply also causes changes to the operating life of purification car-
tridges. The standard ambient temperature is 68° F (20° C). Operating at other temperatures changes the
time before purification cartridge replacement is required. See Paragraph 5.2.2.3 for the method of calcu-
lating this adjustment factor. A form, titled Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours for recording the
ambient temperature, operating time and adjustment factor is found in Section I. It is suggested that it be
copied, placed in a protective folder and kept with the unit to record the adjusted operating hours. An
example of how this form is used is shown in Figure 5-5.
5.2.2.2 Calculating the Maximum Purification Cartridge Operating Hours
1. From the purification dataplate on the unit determine the Air Processed (cu. ft.)
2. From the compressor unit dataplate determine the Capacity (CFM).
3. Divide the Air Processed by the Capacity to obtain the Maximum Operating Time in minutes
4. Divide the Maximum Operating Time in minutes by 60 to obtain the Maximum Operating Hours.
5. Record the answer on the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form.

5.2.2.3 Calculating the Adjusted Purification Cartridge Operating Hours


1. Using the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form record the Date, Operating Hours and
Ambient Air Temperature.
2. Using either the graph or the chart in Figure 5-4 determine the Correction Factor.
3. Divide the Operating Hours by the Correction Factor and record it under the column labeled Today.
4. Add the hours recorded in Today to the previous Total and record it as the current Total.
5. When the Total approaches the Maximum Operating Hours replace the Purification Cartridges.
5.2.2.4 Adjusted Cartridge Operating Hours
When operating at temperatures other than 68oF, divide the number of hours operated at that temperature
by the correction factor as indicated in figure Figure 5-4.

CHAPTER 6: COMPRESSOR DRIVE SYSTEM
6.1 Dive Units
The compressor is driven by the drive motor or engine through a V-belt. The direction of rotation, as seen
facing the flywheel, is counterclockwise. Observe the arrow on the compressor block.

1. Compressor Flywheel 4. Drive Mount (engine/motor)
2. V-belt 5. V-belt Sheave & Bushing
3. Compressor Mount 6. Tensioning Nut & Spring
Tightening of the V-belt is accomplished by screwing down the tensioning nut. By lowering the motor or
engine’s position the distance between the flywheel and sheave is increased, thus tightening the V-belt.

Figure 6-2 Tensioning

6.1.1 Maintenance of the V-belt and Sheave


6.1.1.1 Checking the Sheave.
Before a new drive belt is installed, the condition of the sheave should be checked. A dirty or rusty
sheave impairs the drive’s efficiency and abrades the cover of the belt, which results in premature failure.

Page 63 2nd Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 4


MNL-0237
A worn sheave shortens belt life as much as 50%. If the groove is worn to the point where the belt bot-
toms, slippage may result and the belt may burn. If the side wall is “dished out,” the bottom shoulder
ruins the belt prematurely by wearing off the bottom corners.
6.1.1.2 Checking the V-belt
Inspect the V-belt regularly for damage and wear. Replace if necessary.

CHAPTER 7: MISCELLANEOUS
7.1 Valves
7.1.1 Nonadjustable Valves
The condensate drain valve, vent valve and check valves are not adjustable. The condensate drain valve
and vent valve have seats and seals which should be replaced if the valve leaks. Check valves are not
adjustable or repairable and must be replaced if they malfunction.

Figure 7-1 Pressure Maintaining Valve

7.1.2 Pressure Maintaining Valve


The pressure maintaining valve is adjusted at the factory to the required pressure and does not normally
require maintenance or readjustment. The factory settings are:
Final Pressure Setting Minimum PMV Setting
2,000-5,000 psi (138-345 bar) 2,175 psi (150 bar)
If readjustment does become necessary proceed as follows.
1. Loosen the locking nut (1).
2. Set the adjusting screw (2) to the required pressure using an appropriate hex type wrench.
3. Turn clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
4. Determine if the PMV is properly adjusted:
a. Depressurize the final separator and purifier chamber by slowly opening the vent valve.
b. Close the vent valve and start the compressor.
c. Observe the final pressure gauge and note the pressure at which the valve opens (delivers).
d. If the pressure is not at the specified pressure ± 200 psi, readjust the PMV.

7.1.3 Safety Valves
Figure 7-2 Safety Valves

The safety valve must be checked periodically for proper functioning.


1. Operate the compressor with the shut-off valve closed until the safety valve vents.
2. Note the pressure registered on the pressure gauge.
7.1.3.1 Safety Valve Adjustment
The safety valve is adjusted at the factory to the required pressure and does not normally require mainte-
nance or readjustment. In case readjustment does become necessary, have the safety valve adjusted by a
Bauer qualified technician or contact the Bauer Product Support Department for instructions on returning
the valve to the factory for adjustment.
7.2 Calibration of Safety Valves and Pressure Gauges
Figure 7-3 Calibration Label, LBL-0300

Bauer sets all safety valves using a calibrated gauge traceable back to a U.S. National Institute Of Stan-
dards and Technology (NIST) Registry. Safety Valves set by Bauer have a LBL-0300 affixed to show set
date and pressure set. This is recorded on a Calibration report and kept by the QA Department.
GAG-0010W/CAL is also calibrated using a NIST standard, the gauge is checked to assure it is operating
within it accuracy range of 3% of full scale deflection. By doing this a one year time frame is established
before recertification of the gauge is required. Records are also kept on the calibration of each gauge and
shipped with the gauge in all applications

• Read the operating manual before installing or operating this compressor unit. Follow appropriate
handling, operation and maintenance procedures from the very beginning. The maintenance plan
contains measures required to keep this compressor unit in good condition. Maintenance is simple,
but must be executed regularly to achieve safe operation, maximum efficiency and long service life.
• We recommend that all maintenance work be recorded in a service book, showing the date and details
of the work carried out. This will help to avoid expensive repairs caused by missed maintenance
work. If it is necessary to make a claim against the warranty, it will help to have proof that regular
maintenance has been carried out and that the damage has not been caused by insufficient mainte-
nance.
• This compressor unit must be installed, operated, maintained and repaired only by authorized, trained
and qualified personnel.
• Consult and follow all OSHA, NEMA, ASME and local regulations, laws and codes covering the
installation and operation of this compressor and accessories before operating the unit.
• Do not operate this unit in excess of its rated capacity, speed, pressure, temperature, or otherwise than
in accordance with the instructions contained in this manual. Operation of this unit in excess of the
conditions set forth in this manual will subject the unit to limits which it may not be designed to with-
stand.
• Keep safety guards in place.
• Do not modify the compressor or its systems.
• Do not wear loose clothing around machinery. Loose clothing, neckties, rings, wrists watches, brace-
lets, hand rags, etc. are potential hazards.
• Provide adequate fire protection. Make sure fire extinguishers are accessible. Select alternate routes
of escape and post such routes.
• Make sure you are equipped with all required safety equipment; hearing protection, safety glasses,
hard hats, safety shoes and fire extinguisher.
• Visually inspect the unit before starting. Remove and/or replace any loose or broken components,
tools, valves, missing equipment, etc.

• Do not tighten or adjust fitting or connections under pressure.
• The use of plastic pipe or rubber hose in place of steel tube or iron pipe, soldered joints or failure to
ensure system compatibility of flex joints and flexible hose can result in mechanical failure, property
damage, and serious injury or death.
• The use of plastic or nonmetallic bowls on line filters without metal guards can be dangerous.
• Replace damaged fan blades promptly. Fan assemblies must remain in proper balance. An unbalanced
fan can fly apart and create an extremely dangerous condition.

Page 71 2nd Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 4


MNL-0237
• Allow the compressor to cool before servicing. Whenever the compressor is shut down and over-
heating is suspected, a minimum period of 15 minutes must elapse before opening the crankcase.
Premature opening of the crankcase of an overheated unit can result in an explosion.
• Incorrect placement of the inlet and discharge valves in a compressor cylinder head can cause an
extremely dangerous condition. Refer to the appropriate section of this instruction manual before
installing or replacing valves.
• Before doing any work involving maintenance or adjustment, be sure the electrical supply has been
disconnected, and the complete compressor system has been vented of all internal pressure. Failure to
follow these warnings may result in an accident causing personal injury and/or property damage.
• Before working on the electrical system, be sure to disconnect the electrical supply from the system at
the circuit breaker or other manual disconnect. Do not rely on the ON/OFF switch to disconnect the
electrical supply.
• Installer must provide an earth ground and maintain proper clearance for all electrical components.
• All electrical installation must be in accordance with recognized national, state, and local electrical
codes.
• A compressor which has been used for gas service is unsuitable for air applications. Should the
purchaser and/or user proceed to use the compressor for air service after it has been used for gas, the
purchaser and/or user assumes all liability resulting therefrom without any responsibility being
assumed by Bauer Compressors, Inc. The purchaser is urged to include the above provision in any
agreement for resale of this compressor.
• The use of repair parts other than those included in the Replacement Parts List may create unsafe
conditions over which Bauer has no control. Such unsafe conditions can lead to accidents that may be
life-threatening, cause substantial bodily injury, and/or result in damage to the equipment. Therefore,
Bauer Compressors, Inc. can bear no responsibility for equipment in which non-approved repair parts
are installed

dance with the following instructions:
5. Make sure that the compressor is kept indoors in a dry, dust-free room.
6. Cover the compressor with plastic sheets only if no condensation will form under the sheet.
7. Remove the sheet from time to time and clean the outside of the unit.
8. If this procedure cannot be followed, or if the compressor will be out of service for more than 24
months, please contact the Bauer Service Department for special instructions.
8.3.2 Preparations
Prior to preserving the compressor unit, it must be run until warm, i.e., up to the specified service pres-
sure. Operate the unit for approximately 10 minutes, then carry out the following checks.
1. Check all pipes, filters and valves (including safety valves) for leakage.
2. Tighten all couplings, as required.

Page 73 2nd Edition, Rev. 2 Chg. 4


MNL-0237
3. After 10 minutes, open the outlet valve and operate the compressor at adjusted minimum pressure
using the pressure maintaining valve for approximately 5 minutes.
4. After the 5 minutes, shut the compressor unit down and completely drain all separators and filters.
Close all valves.
5. Remove filter heads and lubricate the threads with white petroleum jelly.

8.3.2.1 Units Equipped with a Filter System


1. Ensure that filter elements remain in the filters! This will prevent oil from entering the outlet lines
as a result of preservation procedures.
2. Remove the intake filter/intake pipe completely.

8.3.3 Preserving the Compressor


1. Operate the compressor again and slowly spray approximately 0.35 oz. (10 cc) of oil into the inlet
port while the compressor is running. Keep the shut-off valve open and the condensate drain valves
closed.
2. After spraying the oil into the inlet port, run the compressor unit for an additional 5 minutes before
shutting the compressor unit down.
3. Close the shut-off valve.
4. Close the inlet port with a dust cap and/or tape.

8.3.4 Preventive Maintenance During Storage


Operate the compressor once every six months as follows:
1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and install the inlet filter.
2. Open the outlet valve and allow the system to run approximately 5 minutes until there is outflow
from the valve and oil is visible in the sight glass of the oil regulating valve.
3. Shut down the compressor.
4. Open the condensate drain valves, depressurize the unit, then close the drain valves again.
5. Remove the intake filter and replace the dust cap on the inlet port.

8.3.5 Lubrication Oils for Preservation


1. After prolonged storage periods, the oil will age in the compressor crankcase. The oil must be
drained at least every 24 months and replaced with fresh oil.
2. The stated period can only be attained when the crankcase is sealed during the preservation period
in accordance with the preservation requirements.
3. After changing the oil, the compressor must be operated according to the instructions above.
4. Check the lubrication of the compressor during the every-six-month brief operation or when turning
the compressor.

June 1, 2010 Page 74


C-D/DV/Navy
5. The oil pump is functioning properly when oil can be seen flowing through the sight glass of the oil
pressure regulator or if the oil pressure gauge indicates the prescribed pressure.

8.3.6 Reactivating the Compressor Unit


1. Remove the dust cap from the inlet port and install the intake filter.
2. Check the oil level of the compressor. If necessary, change the oil.
3. The motor must be thoroughly dry before applying power.
4. For units with a filter system, change all filter cartridges.
5. Run the compressor with open outlet valve for approximately 10 minutes. Check for proper opera-
tion of the lubricating system.
6. After 10 minutes, close the shut-off valve and run the system up to final pressure until the final
pressure safety valve vents. On compressor units with a compressor control system, raise the pres-
sure switch setting the switch above normal limits to override the pressure switch. Be sure to reset
the switch after checking.
7. Check the interstage safety valves for leakage.
8. Establish the cause of any faults and remedy.
9. Stop the unit when it is running properly. The compressor is then ready for operation.

8.4 Installation
8.4.1 Unpacking and Handling
This compressor unit is packaged according to the requirements for shipping via the requested type of
carrier service. It is possible that the compressor unit could have been damaged during shipping. For this
reason, we urge you to thoroughly examine the unit for possible damage and report any such damage to
the shipping company immediately.
Care must be taken in unpacking the compressor unit. Serious damage could result by not checking for
clearance between the item to be unpacked and the packaging to be removed.
This compressor unit may be furnished with one or more shipping braces for shipping and handling only.
After installation and before operation, these braces must be removed entirely. Under no circumstances
should the braces remain installed during operation or the manufacturer’s warranty for the compressor
unit will be voided. The braces are all tagged and labelled.
The floor at the site must be capable of supporting the weight of the unit. Position the unit so that it is
level. Permissible inclination of the compressor unit is 10° forward or backward, 10° right or left.

^ CAUTION
These values are valid only if the oil level of the compressor in normal position is level with
but does not exceed the upper mark of the oil dipstick or oil level sight glass.

8.4.2 Ventilation
During normal compression, heat is generated by the compressor and by the drive motor or engine. For
air-cooled compressor units, this heat needs to be vented away by sufficient ventilation.
8.4.2.1 Outdoor Installation
It is recommended that all gasoline and diesel engine driven compressor units be installed outdoors.
Additionally, electrically driven compressor units may be installed outdoors only if enclosed with weath-
erproof enclosure panels.
8.4.2.2 Indoor Installation
The best location to install the compressor unit indoors is against an outside wall with a suitably large air
vent in front of the cooling fan. Additionally, it is necessary to position an exhaust opening in the oppo-
site wall, close to the ceiling or in the ceiling.
As a basic rule of thumb, the room should be ventilated sufficiently so as to prevent the ambient room
temperature from exceeding 105° F. Additional heat generating equipment or piping should be avoided or
must be well insulated.
8.4.2.3 Natural Ventilation
Natural ventilation should only be used up to a maximum drive power of 20 hp. To determine the size of
the required intake and exhaust openings, consider the following table:

Intake and Exhaust Openings Dependent on Room Volume (V) and Height (h)
Drive hp V = 1750 ft³ h = 6.5 ft V = 3500 ft³ h = 10 ft V = 7000 ft³ h = 13 ft
Intake (ft²) Exhaust (ft²) Intake (ft²) Exhaust (ft²) Intake (ft²) Exhaust (ft²)
