volume of the enclosure between the teeth, air from the air filter is pressurized due to
compression until it is discharged when the enclosure is open to the discharge outlet. The
compressed air then goes through the separator, and then the minimum pressure valve, after
cooler and moisture separator in turn, before discharged to the service line for use. The fluid
separated subsides at the bottom of the separator and is brought back to the compressor under
pressure differential for recycling use.

Compressor systems
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 1 Compressor systems

1.2 AIR INLET SYSTEM


1.2.1 OPERATION OF AIR INLET SYSTEM
The air inlet system mainly consists of air filter, air modulating device, butterfly valve and
compressor unit.
During operation of the machine, the air intake from the air filter to the compressor enters
the compressor unit through opened butterfly valve after being filtrated. Male and female
rotors that rotate at high speed then compress the air, and the air pressure will rise. When the
enclosure between teeth is opened to outlet, the compressed air is discharged from the
compressor for use.
1.2.2 AIR FILTER
Air filter keeps air inlet clean by filtration. Any foreign material contained in the air inlet
will cause accelerating wear and tear of the rotor contours and contaminate the fluid.
1.2.3 BUTTERFLY VALVE
Butterfly valve functions to regulate the amount of air intake to the compressor. The
butterfly valve is fully opened as the compressor unit operates in full-load condition. When air
demand decreases, the air -modulating device will reduce openness of the butterfly valve to
reduce the amount of air intake. When there is no need of air, the butterfly valve is fully closed,
and the compressor runs in unload mode.

1.3 DISCHARGE SYSTEM


1.3.1 OPERATION OF DISCHARGE SYSTEM
The discharge system consists of compressor unit, fluid/air separator, minimum pressure
valve, blow -down valve, pressure relief valve , after cooler, moisture separator and
interconnections.
The compressed air/fluid mixture enters the separator through the check valve. Clean
compressed air is obtained after separated from the fluid.
The compressed air then enters, through minimum pressure valve, after cooler and
moisture separator. The after cooler lowers the temperature of the hot air down to normal
temperature. The moisture separator separates condensed water from the compressed air and
discharges the water outside the machine.
There is a spare flange of Rc4 external threads fixed at one end of the moisture separator.
Prior to operation of this machine, a piece of f 114×6 seamless steel pipe with one end R4 taper
threaded should be prepared beforehand and used to direct the compressed air outside the
machine. The user according to specific requirements may determine the length of the steel
pipe.
The user on the external line should equip a check valve.

1.3.2 MINIMUM PRESSURE VALVE


The minimum pressure valve, located on top cover of the separator, is to keep the

9
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 1 Compressor systems

pressure within the separator no lower than 0.34 Mpa so that the fluid runs normally in the
fluid pipe s and the fluid consumption is reduced. The minimum pressure valve does not open
until the pressure within the separator is higher than 0.34 Mpa. This valve also acts as a check
valve when the compressor unit operates in connection with other units. The compressed air in
the pipelines is prevented from flowing back into the separator or compressor unit during
offload operation of the compressor unit.

1.3.3 AUTOMATIC BLOWDOWN VALVE


The blow-down valve, located near the minimum pressure valve, opens automatically
when the compressor is unloaded or shut down, to discharge the air and relieve the sump
pressure. There are two silencers attached on the blow-down valve to lower the noise.

1.3.4 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE


There is a pressure relief valve on the separator tank, which opens to relieve the
pressure once the separator pressure exceeds the preset pressure for the sake of the machine.
The compressor is also equipped with a high-pressure shutdown switch to shut down the
compressor when the preset pressure is reached. The pressure relief valve does not open under
normal condition.

1.3.5 DISCHARGE SYSTEM (AIR-COOLED)


There are two separate units for the air-cooled version. External flanges are installed at
both discharge end of the compressor and the inlet/outlet of the after cooler, respectively . The
compressor unit and cooler should be positioned properly before proceed with connecting the
compressor unit and the cooler with a f 108×4 seamless steel pipe. The pipe should be
supported and positioned securely , to ensure no stress is transferred from connection pipe to
the compressor unit or cooler. Keep the distance between the compressor unit and the cooler
not less than 1 meter when mounted, to ensure good ventilation and ease of maintenance.
There is an external flange beneath the horizontal moisture separator. The flange should
be welded with a f 108×4 seamless steel pipe to direct the compressed air to working place.
Please note that user should install a check valve on service air pipe.

1.4 FLUID PIPING SYSTEM

1.4.1 OPERATION OF FLUID PIPING SYSTEM


This system consists of compressor unit, fluid/air separator, thermal valve, fluid filter,
fluid cooler, fluid stop valve and interconnections.
The fluid in the separator enters the cooler through the thermal valve first, and then to the
compressor unit through the Tee valve, stops valve and the fluid filter after being cooled. The
fluid together with the compressed air intake is compressed in the compressor unit and the
compressed fluid/air mixture is discharged and returned to the separator again for another
10
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 1 Compressor systems

cycle.
The fluid flow has three basic functions:-

a. Cooling. It removes large amount of heat due to compression from the compressed air.
b. Lubricating. A film between the pair of rotor avoids one rotor directly contacting the
other, thus, reduce wear and tear. In addition, the fluid lubricates bearings and gears.
c. Sealing. The fluid of some viscous ness fills the gaps between the rotors and that
between the rotors and the stator, thus, reduces internal leak loss and improves
compressor output.

1.4.2 THERMAL VALVE


The thermal valve keeps the flu id temperature not lower than 91 ? to prevent
compressed air from condensation that may cause deterioration due to oxidation in the fluid.
There is a constant-open bypass valve in the thermal valve. When the fluid temperature is
lower than 91? , the fluid enters the compressor unit directly through bypass valve, fluid pipe,
Tee valve, fluid stop valve and filter. At this time, the fluid is not cooled, and when the fluid
temperature rises above 91? , the bypass valve closes and the fluid enters to the fluid cooler for
cooling before enters to the compressor unit through Tee valve, stop valve and fluid filter.

1.4.3 FLUID STOP VALVE


The function of STOP VALVE is to stop fluid from entering the compressor unit and
from injecting from air inlet while the machine is shut down.

1.4.4 FLUID FILTER


Fluid filter removes foreign substance from the fluid and maintain clean fluid flowing
inside the machine and through each lubrication points. Any foreign substance within the fluid
will cause the damage to the contour surface of the rotors, gears teeth and bearings, thus,
reduce the lifetime of the compressor unit.
Replace the filter elements periodically to keep the fluid pipe work properly.
A pressure differential gauge is installed on the top of the fluid filter. W hen the pressure
differential between the two ends of filter element is higher than the setting (0.14Mpa), the
message of FLUID FILTER MAINT REQD shown on the display will remind operators to
replace elements in time.

1.4.5 RETURN LINE


Two return lines located on the top of the separator collect small amount of fluid on the
bottoms of the primary and final elements back to the compressor unit, respectively.
Operator can check the flow through the sight glass on the return lines. The flow reaches
to a high level while full loaded, whereas, the flow decreases dramatically while unloaded,
even no flow at all. Therefore, if there is no flow or much less when full loaded, operator
should switch off the machine, and relieve the pressure inside to clean the filter.

11
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 1 Compressor systems

1.4.6 FLUID PIPING SYSTEM (AIR - COOLED )


For air-cooled compressor, the cooler and compressor unit are installed separately and
an additional check valve is installed on the main fluid pipe to prevent the fluid from returning
to the sump tank when the machine is shut down or unloaded. In addition, a relief valve is
installed between the fluid cooler and sump tank to release pressure in the fluid cooler. Only
one direction flow is permitted by installing a check valve on the pipe to prevent air entering
into the fluid pipe.
There is an external spare flange at each fluid pipe. A piece off 50×3 seamless steel pipe
should be welded with the flange to connect to the radiator type fluid cooler. There is an
external flange at each end of fluid pipe connecting to the cooler. A steelf 56×3 pipe or DN50
metal hose can be used as the fluid pipe, however, in any case, no rubber or plastic pipe for
general purposes may be used. A steelf 56×3 pipe or DN50 metal hose can be used as the
unload pipe. It is recommended to connect the pipe with the hose to prevent damage to the
cooling system due to stress of connection and thermal deformation.

1.5 FLUID/AIR SEPARATOR

1.5.1 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION


The separator consists of tank and filter elements, which comprise the primary element
for rough separation and the final element for refined separation.
The separator has four functions as explained below:
(1) A primary separator. The air/fluid mixture enters the separator and is directed against
the baffle. The direction of moveme nt is changed and its velocity significantly reduced,
thus causing large droplets of fluid to form and fall to the bottom of the separator
owing to their gravities.
(2) A fluid sump tank of the compressor: it stores fluid.
(3) Mounting of filter elements.
The fluid is separated from the mixture of fluid/air through the two filter elements,
gathering at the bottom of the filter. There are two filter elements: the primary element and the
final element. The fractional percentage of fluid remaining in the compressed air collects at the
bottoms of the filter elements as the compressed air flows through the separator. Two return
lines lead from the bottom of the separator elements to the inlet region of the compressor unit.
(4) To keep stable pressure.
There is some amount of air in the sump tank, which can effectively keep the pressure in the
service pipe from fluctuation, thus, stabilize the pressure.

1.5.2 REPLACEMENT OF FILTER ELEMENTS


After a period of operation, foreign substance in the fluid piping system will block the
pipes and cause resistance to compressed air passing through the filter elements, thus, affect
the normal operation. Operators should replace the filter elements timely according to the

12
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 1 Compressor systems

message displayed on Supervisor II. Please Note: the filter elements should be replaced, no
service should be made.

1.5.3 FLUID FILLING PIPE AND SIGHT GLASS


The fluid filling pipe and sight glass are located on the outside end of the separator.
Some fluid contained in compressed air is discharged, more or less, therefore, after the
compressor runs over a period of time, the fluid level in the separator will drop and it is
necessary to add fluid. The fluid level is at the middle of the sign glass when the machine runs
in full-load mode.

1.6 WATER PIPING SYSTEM

1.6.1 OPERATION OF WATER PIPING SYSTEM


The water piping system consists of fluid cooler, after cooler, moisture separator and
interconnections. The cooling water enters the after cooler first, then the fluid cooler and,
ultimately is discharged outside the machine.

1.6.2 AFTER COOLER


The after cooler is a heat exchanger desig ned to cool the compressed air. The hot air
under high pressure coming from the minimum pressure valve enters the after cooler and
transfers large amount of heat to the cooling water, whereby, the compressed air obtains
normal temperature.

1.6.3 FLUID COOLER


The fluid cooler is also a heat exchanger designed to cool fluid. The fluid from the
fluid/air separator enters the fluid cooler through the thermal valve and removes some amount
of heat to the cooling water before enters the compressor unit.

1.6.4 AUTOMATIC MOISTURE SEPARATOR


Designed with a floating ball structure, the moisture separator separates condensed water
from compressed air and discharges it outside through a plastic hose periodically.
To periodically check the water discharge condition is necessary. Generally, more water
is discharged in summers, as it is hot and wet, whereas, less water is discharged outside in
winters. The moisture separator must be disassembled and cleaned if there is no water being
discharged, indicating that the separator is clogged.

1.6.5 COOLING-WATER QUALITY


Use clean cooling water to ensure exchange performance and long lifetime of the cooler. The
requirements are as explained below:
(1) The pH value of water should be in the range 6.5-9.5 to keep it neutral.
(2) The content of organic substance and suspension impurities should be lower than
13
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 1 Compressor systems

25mg/L; and the fluid content lower than 5mg/L.


(3) The temporary hardness should be less than or equal to 10o (1o equivalent to 10 mg
CaO or 7.19 mg MgO).
1.6.6 TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE & CONSUMPTION OF WATER INLET
(1) The water temperature should be =30? . It is necessary to install separate water pipes
for both air cooler and fluid cooler respectively when water temperature is higher than
32? . No serial connection is allowed.
(2) The incoming water pressure should be equal to or higher than 0.2 MPa, and lower than
0.5MPa.
(3) When the water temperature is in the range between 27-29? , the water consumption of
the compressor is around 15T/h.

1.6.7 SHUTDOWN AND DRAINAGE


It is necessary to drain the water out of the cooler during wintertime or when the
machine is not in use for a long time, to prevent the cooler from damage due to freezing.

1.7 INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROL

The purpose of the Instrumentation and Control is to regulate the amount of air being
compressed in response to the amount of compressed air being used.
When the amount of air being used is equal to the preset amount of air being exhausted,
the compressor will work in the full load mode. At this time, the butterfly valve that controls
amount of air intake keeps at the widest openness, and the pointer of the spiral valve points to
the MAX; while the amount of air being used is lower than the preset amount, this system will
regulate the openness automatically to decrease the inlet air amount; while there is no demand
of air being used, the butterfly valve will shut down automatically. (In fact, there is still a little
amount of air entering continuously to keep the low est pressure in the separator). The pointer
of the spiral valve points to the MIN when the machine runs under lower negative pressure in
unloaded mode.
The functional description is as below in four distinct phases of operation. For
explanation purpose, the following description will apply to a LS25S-300L compressor (See
Fig.7).

(1) START-UP MODE (light load start -up process )


When the START buttons is pressed, the solenoid valve controlling the air supply of the
cylinder is energized. The butterfly valve is at the initial position (horizontal angle between
5-10 o) to allow a little amount of air to enter the compressor. The motor starts to work in a
lightly loaded mode (Y connection).
After the preset time (normally 6 seconds) is reached, the motor is switched to triangle
? connection. Meanwhile, the solenoid valve is de -energized. The compressed air enters the
cylinder and pushes the butterfly valve to open when the machine enters into subsequent
start-up mode.
(2) NORMAL OPERATING MODE
When the compressed air pressure rises above 3.4 bars, the minimum pressure valve
opens and delivers compressed air to the service line, and the openness of butterfly valve keeps
at the maximum position. The pointer of the spiral valve points to the MAX. The machine
remains running in a full load mode as long as the internal pressure is not higher than 7.0 bars.

15
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 1 Compressor systems

(3) MODULATING MODE


If the amount of service air being used is less than the preset amount of air being used,
the pressure inside the system will rise. When it is above 7 Bar, the re gulator will be activated,
controlling air into the spiral valve to reduce the amount of air entering the compressor unit by
pushing spool with rack so that some amount of air being bypassed. The less the amount of air
being used, the wider the spiral valve opens. When the amount of service air being used is
50% of the rated amount, the pressure inside the system will rise to 7.4 bars. At this time, the
openness of the spiral valve will arrive to the maximum, and its level will point to the MIN.
therefore, the regulation range of air amount of spiral valve is between 100% and 50% of the
preset amount, the pressure of the system ranges accordingly is in the range from 7.0 to 7.4 bar,
the position of spiral valve varies from MAX to MIN.
If the amount of service air being used is less than 50% of the preset amount, the
pressure in the system will rise above 7.4 bars. The amount of inlet air will be reduced by the
pressure regulator (Sullicion), which regulates the openness of the butterfly valve. When the
amount of air being used is up to 40% of the preset amount, the pressure in the system will
reach to 7.6bar. Therefore, the regulation range of Sullion varies from 50% to 40% of the
preset inlet amount; accordingly, the pressure in the system varies from 7.4 to 7.6bar.
In this period, the spiral valve has remained at the MIN position.
(4) UNLOAD MODE
When the amount of service air being used is less than 40% of the preset amount, the
service line pressure will rise above 7.6 bar, then the supervisor II will switch off the solenoid
valve to prevent air from entering the Sullicion and blow down valve. The Sullicon closes the
butterfly valve to prevent air from entering and opens the blow -down valve to the atmosphere,
reducing the sump pressure to 2.1-3.4 Bar. At this time, the minimum pressure value closes,
disconnecting the sump and the service line. The machine runs at lower negative pressure in
energy saving mode.
If the consumption amount rises, the line pressure will decrease. When it is below 7.0 bar,
the Supervisor II will switch on the solenoid valve, and the Sullicion and spiral valve resume to
the initial positions with pointer indicating MAX position when the machine resume to the full
load mode again.

LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section2 Installation

SECTION 2 INSTALLATION

2.1 MOUNTING
A foundation or mounting capable of supporting the weight of the compressor, and rigid
enough to maintain the compressor frame level and the compressor in alignment is required.
The compressor frame must be leveled and secured with foundation bolts to ensure normal
operation of the transmission parts and internal piping, and full uniform contact must be
maintained between the frame and foundation to prevent noise emission out of the machine
unit.

2.2 VIBRATION ABSORPTION AND NOISE REDUCTION

It is recommended to cushion the frame with rubber plate underneath with dimensions of
5~ 6mm thickness and 80mm width to prevent vibration/vibration and noise generated during
the machine running.

2.3 VENTILATION AND COOLING


It is necessary to select a location to permit sufficient unobstructed air flowing in and out
to the compressor to keep the operating temperature no higher than 40? . The minimum
distance that the compressor should be from the surroundings is not less than 1 meter for the
sake of ventilation and maintenance .

Users may design and construct the piping system, including fluid piping and air piping
between the machine and cooler, with assistance of Sullair authorized dealer and service

24
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section2 Installation

department. In no case, the connection pipe may be longer than 5 m, to reduce flowing
resistance.
For details of piping, see section 1.3.5 Discharge System and section 1.4.6 Fluid Piping
System for air-cooled version. It is worth emphasis that when fluid piping is made, it is
recommended to use hose so as to avoid influence of pipe connection stress on the cooler.
The cooling fan airflow of air-cooled compressor is 764 M3/min. The arrangement of air inlet
and outlet positions should be done during construction of machine room.

2.6 MOTOR ROTATION DIRECTION CHECK


After the electrical wiring has been done, it is necessary to check the direction of the
motor rotation. This can be done by pulling out the EMERGENCY STOP button on the
supervisor panel, then jogging the ‘I’ (START) button, then ‘O’ (STOP) button, to run the
motor for a while. The shaft should be turning as the same direction as the arrow marked on the
adapter. If not, disconnect the power to the starter and exchange any two of the three power
input leads.
No reversed rotation is allowed!

4.16 MAINTENANCE OF SPECIAL MOTOR ON SULLAIR COMPRESSOR


4.16.1 LOW VOLTAGE MOTOR
4.16.1.1 Working conditions (export machines depend on country of destination):
Ambient Temperature =40?
Humidity <90%(free of condensed water)
Altitude =1000 m
Frequency see nameplate on the motor
Voltage see nameplate on the motor
System S1
Insulation class F

4.16.1.2 OPERATION
(1) The motor should be grounded properly. The grounded wire of the motor is generally
routed into the switch cabinet and the only thing you need to do is to connect the grounded
wire to the connection on the cabinet body securely.
(2) There are evident labels on the lead wire of Sullair motor:
Phase sequence A B C
Head T1 T2 T3
End T4 T5 T6
(3) The connection method of the motor is indicated clearly on the nameplate.
(4) When the voltage and frequency of the special motor for Sullair compressor remain
within the rated value shown on the nameplate, the motor runs continuously under the power
which equals to the rated power times the service factor. When the frequency deviation of
power supply exceeds 1% of the value on the nameplate, or the voltage deviation exceeds 5%,
the motor is not guaranteed to output such power continuously.
(5) When three phases supply is out of balance by less than 1%, the motor runs properly.
(6) Thermo relays are built in the cabinet for overload protection.
(7) There should be no intermittent or abnormal noise or vibration when the motor is

40
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 4 Maintenance

idling or loading.

4.16.1.3 LOW VOLTAGE MOTOR MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE


(1) Keep the working conditions dry, and the motor surface clean. The air inlet should
not be blocked with dust or fiber.
(2) When the thermo relay is actuated, check the cause of any fault. Put back into
operation only after the fault has been corrected.
(3) Maintain properly the bearings lubrication during the motor operation. Refill or
change the grease every 2000 hours operation (enclosed bearings need no replacement during
its lifetime). Immediately change the grease when the bearings are overheated or the grease has
deteriorated. The brand of grease is different from motor to motor. For details, please consult
Sullair service department.
(4) When a bearing is reaching the end of its lifetime the m otor’s noise and vibration are
increased considerably, which manifest that the bearing should be replaced.
(5) You are recommended to contact Sullair or local dealer in case of motor malfunction.

4.16.2 HIGH VOLTAGE MOTOR


4.16.2.1 Working conditions
Ambient Temperature =40?
Humidity <90%(free of condensed water)
Altitude =1000 m
Frequency see nameplate on the motor
Voltage see nameplate on the motor
System S1 (continuous)
Insulation class F

4.16.2.2 START-UP AND OPERATION


(1) INITIAL START -UP PROCEDURE
The initial start-up refers to operating the motor for the first time after it is newly installed,
overhauled, or out of service for over 1 month. It is recommended to proceed with initial
start-up with the compressor head unengaged, or unload start-up.
(2) The following procedure should be used to check the initial start-up of the
compressor.
a All temporary supports and gover plates have been cleared;
b Fluid level is normal;
c Resistance to ground is not less than 3(Un+1) mega ohm, Un in kV;
d Check for consistency of power supply phases, voltage, frequency with that on nameplate;
e Check for obstruction of ventilation opening and ducts;

41
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 4 Maintenance

f Check for noise in the motor ;


g Check correctness of wiring;
h Check other factors that may affect the normal operation of the motor.
(3) Jog the motor to check for correct rotation direction of the motor and make rewiring, if
necessary. Start the motor again after cooled down to ambient temperature; check for any
abnormal operation, if any, in the subsequent 2 hours. In case of abnormity, switch off the
power supply immediately, stop the motor, and find the cause.
(4) LOAD START -UP
Connect the coupling between the compressor head and the motor, according to section 4.15,
rotate the motor manually or with tools for several turns to check for sticking or any other
abnormal phenomenon and noise. When every thing is OK, start the machine , and check the
current of the motor and temperatures at each point frequently in the subseque nt 4 hours. Make
operation records of the motor and the machine. Stop the machine as soon as any problem is
spotted.
(5) NUMBER OF START-UP
The motor is permitted to start consecutively twice in cold state, and only once in hot state,
with interval time not less than 4 hours , to prevent damage to the insulation due to overheat.
4.16.2.3 MAINTENANCE DURING MOTOR OUT OF SERVICE
For the motor to be put out of service for over one month, regularly heat the motor or
warm up the motor with hot air (80? dry air), in order to keep the motor in dry state. Heating
is implemented by means of space heater attached on the motor. Otherwise when there is no
such a heater, place several lit lamps with rated power 100 w or 150 w inside the motor.
4.16.2.4 MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
(1) Keep the environment and the motor clean and dry and ensure the ventilation opening
and duct free of obstruction due to accumulation of dust or the alike.
(2) Prepare a practical maintenance plan and check bearings of the motor regularly for
lubrication. Detailed instructions on greasing see the nameplate attached to the motor.
(3) In case of malfunction, please contact Sullair or its authorized dealer, never attempt to
tamper the motor.

SECTION 6 TROUBLESHOOTING AND REMEDY

6.1 GENERAL
The machine may experience troubles due to various reasons. It is important to collect
operation data systematically. Never tamper this machine without authorization. All available
data concerning the trouble should be systematically analyzed before undertaking any repairs
or component replacement procedure. Always remember to:
a. Check for loose wiring;
b. Check for damaged piping;
c. Check for parts damaged by overheat or an electrical short circuit, usually apparent by
discoloration or a burnt odor.

6.2 PROBABLE PROBLEMS AND TROUBLESHOOTING


SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY
Low level of fluid in fluid/air Check fluid level and add, if
separator necessary
Malfunction of thermal control valve Check/c hange thermal controls
High discharge Deficient cooling water flowing Increase cooling water flow
temperature Water too hot Lower water temperature
(T1 HI) Clogged cooler element Clean pipes and bowl, if clogged
still exist, install water treatment
device
Malfunction RTD Check RTD connector , if it is good,
replace the RTD
Malfunction of unload parts (e.g. Check unload parts operation proper
High discharge blowdown valve , air inlet regulating or not
air pressure (in valve)
tank) Malfunction of unload solenoid valve Check solenoid valve
(P1 HI) Control air leak Check leakage in control line
Clogged control line strainer Service filter assembly
Air consumption exceeds air supply a. Reduce consumption;
b. Check leakage on service line
Air service Plugged air filter Change the filter elements
pressure lower Inlet butterfly valve can’t fully open Check the valve operation or reset
than rated the regulator
discharge Malfunction of pressure transducer P 2 Check the connector, or replace the
pressure transducer when necessary
Malfunction of pressure regulator Check pressure regulator , or change
when necessary

SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY


Malfunction of pressure transducer P 2 Check the connector, or change the
Line pressure transducer when necessary
P2 higher than Malfunction of unload parts (e.g. Check unload parts operation proper
unload pressure blowdown valve , air inlet regulating or not
valve)
Malfunction of unload solenoid valve Check solenoid valve
Control air leak Check leakage in control line
Clogged control line strainer Service filter assembly
Plugged return line filter or orifice Clean the filter, strainer and orifice
Damaged separator element or Check or replace when necessary
High fluid incorrect position of gasket
consumption
Leakage in the system Check the piping leakage
Fluid level too high Drain out excess fluid
Excess fluid foaming Change fluid

6.3 TRANSDUCERS OPERATION AND SUPERVISOR CALIBRATION


Whenever a transducer is suspected of fault, the recommended cause of action si to
measure the signal (pressure, temperature, etc.) with an alternative calibrated instrument and
compare readings. If readings conflict, the electrical and/or tubing connections should be
inspected, and if no faults are evident, then replace the TRANSDU CER and re-evaluate
against the calibrated instrument.

CALIBRATION
The Supervisor II has software calibration of the pressure and temperature probes. This
calibration affects the offset but not the slope of the pressure and temperature calculations.
Because of this, the most accurate method is to heat or pressurize the transducer to its operating
value. If this is too difficult, room temperature/open atmosphere calibration is adequate.
Calibration may only be done while machine is stopped and unarmed.
To enter calibration mode, you must press the following keys in sequence while in the default

status display mode: “ “, “ “ “ “, PROG. Once in calibration mode,

you will see a screen like the following:

CAL P1
0 6.7
In the above example, “0” refers to the amount of adjustment(in psi or ? ), 6.7 bar refers to

47
LS25S-250/300/350 Series Screw Compressor O & M Manual Section 6 Troubleshooting & Remedy

current value of P1). To make adjustment, press the” “ (UP ARROW) key to increase the

value, press the ” “ (DOWN ARROW/LAMP TEST) key to decrease the value. The

number on the left will increase or decrease always showing the total amount of adjustment.
Maximum adjustment is ±7.

The ”DISPLY” key exits, wiping out changes to the current item, while saving changes to
any previous items. The”PROG” key saves the current item and advances to the next. All
pressures and temperatures may be calibrated individually.
