(2)Completely open the aftercooler condensate drain
valve daily to verify that it is draining properly.
(3) Verify that the Intercooler condensate drain is slightly

4. Cautions for a Long Term Operation Suspension


(1) If the DSP air compressor operation is suspended for
7 days or longer, open the [FUNCTION MENU] display
on the LCD ( page 17) and execute
‘1. UNLOAD-STOP/IPI’ process. The DSP will operate
unloaded for 5 minutes and automatically stop.
When in a long-term operation suspension the DSP
may be internally rusted due to (1) the removal of an oil
film from the bearings and (2) the moisture in the
atmosphere. Eventually, rust may damage the bearings
Keeping the second-stage air end as dry as possible is when you restart the DSP. It is therefore important to

term operation suspension. When stopping the DSP,
therefore, execute an unloading operation and thereby
remove the moisture from the second-stage air end.

(2) During long-term operation suspension the DSP needs to


be operated unloaded once a week for 5 to 10 minutes to
ensure removal of internal moisture.
(3) Incoming power to the DSP should be disconnected when
in long term operation suspension.

5. Daily Operation

●When using the DSP air compressor, do not raise the discharge pressure excessively. Operating the DSP air
compressor over the rated pressure can result in main motor overload, shutdown of the airend and/or damage of
parts.
●If the safety relief valve has blown or a protective device has shutdown the DSP air compressor, investigate the
cause of and take corrective action. If there any questions or comments in taking these actions, please contact the
local Hitachi distributor.

3. OPERATING THE DSP [Regulating the Oil Pressure]

7. Regulating the Oil Pressure


①Use the relief valve to regulate the oil pressure.
To regulate the oil pressure, open the relief
valve cap, loosen the lock nut, and turn the regu-
lating bolt to keep the oil pressure at about the
specified 0.16 MPa (23 psig) (on a full load operation).

② Turn the regulating bolt clockwise to increase


the oil pressure and vice versa.

③ Tighten the locknut and replace the cap.

(1) If the oil pressure is reduced to the specified pressure


(0.08 and 0.04 MPa (12 and 6 psig) for the operating
frequency of respectively 45 Hz or higher and less than 45
Hz) or lower, the oil pressure sensor detects it and shut
down the DSP air compressor.

(2) As the motor speed goes down, the oil pressure shall be
lowered. Adjust the oil pressure at about 0.16 MPa (23
psig) at a full load (full speed) operating condition.

2 OMR Control Air Piping

The Oil Mist Remover needs 0.39 MPa (57psi) of


compressed air as control air to operate. To properly
install the control air line, connect the control air pipe to
the connection marked “A” on the filter/regulator of the
Oil Mist Remover (see the illustration to the left).

The control air must be as dry as possible. If possible, run


the control air pipe from the downstream side of the air dryer.
If an air dryer is not used, run the control air pipe from the
upper section of an air receiver. Installing downstream of the
air dryer or air receiver allows for less moisture accumulation
in the filter bowl of the oil mist remover.

3 Parallel Piping / Operation with Reciprocating Compressor

Check Valve Stop Valve

Discharge Air
(1) This is to prevent the reciprocating compressor's air
pulsation from affecting the DSP.
(2) In this case, typical operation is to run the DSP as long as
possible as the primary and start and stop the

may cause the DSP compressor to frequently
load/unload. This may shorten the mechanical life
of the compressor.
(3) It is recommended that an air receiver tank is
installed right after the DSP compressor by same
reason as (2).

5 Condensate Drain Piping

(1) Leave the end of any condensate drain line open.

(2) Do not merge the DSP air compressor’s condensate


drain lines (for the aftercooler, for the coolant line
filter) into one common pipe.
Do not merge any condensate drain line into an
external condensate drain line (for example, do not
merge a DSP air compressor condensate drain line
with a condensate drain line on an air receiver tank).
This could generate a pressure differential, which
could result in no draining or inconsistent draining
out of the DSP. Capability to observe the draining
of the DSP will also be impaired.

Un-drained condensate can backflow to the DSP air


compressor and cause a failure.

6. STARTUP OPERATION
The instructions in this chapter should be followed when starting up the DSP air compressor for the first time or after a long
term suspension.

●Before connecting the power, verify that the DSP is correctly installed, piped and wired.
●Check the power supply; verify that it is firmly grounded and that the voltage is within an allowable range
(-5% to +10%).

0.25(36) about 50(1.8)

NOTE:
The pressure gauge readings may increase/decrease
by 0.03 MPa(4psi) as the control air pressure
decreases/increases by 0.10 MPa(14.5psi),
respectively. Due to the regulator’s characteristics,
the pressure gauge
reading rises as the control air pressure drops.

1. The oil mist remover can operate when the control air pressure is 0.39 MPa(57psi) or more. If a control air
pressure of this level cannot be obtained (i.e. during starting of the DSP or unloading of the blowoff valve), the
ejector cannot operate and as a result, the gear case internal pressure rises. When the gear case internal
pressure reaches approximately 20 mmH2O (0.8inch), the safety relief valve opens to atmosphere to prevent
excessive pressure rise and results in the venting of oil mists to atmosphere. To prevent this from occurring,
avoid long intervals where the DSP is unloaded, if at all possible. If it is unavoidable, take precautions to keep
the DSP from inhaling the oil mists back into the air intake.

2. If two or more DSP air compressors are in parallel, the system may force a specific unit to unload for a long
period of time. The unloaded DSP air compressors oil mist remover ejector will seldom operate, thus opening
its safety relief valve frequently and venting oil mists to atmosphere. To solve this problem, connect the
unloaded DSP air compressors control air pipe to an area in the plant air piping system where pressure is
consistently available, minimizing the amount of time the safety relief valve will open.

3. The safety relief valve shortly opens when the DSP starts and stops, even when control air pressure is high.
After repeated starts and stops, the safety relief valve may ooze a slight amount of oil. This is not unusual.

4. The oil mist remover consumes compressed air of approximately 50 liters(13USgal) per minute. The exact air
consumption depends on the setting of the regulator.

5. Take precautions if the DSP is used in AUTO operation mode with the oil mist remover, as the DSP may not
stop automatically, due to the uninterrupted consumption of the compressed air by the oil mist remover.

7. WIRING

1. Use a licensed electrician. Do not allow an unlicensed person to wire the air compressor. Using an unlicensed
person could result in incorrect wiring and could lead to electric shock.
2. Do not remove any protective relays or make any modifications to the control circuit that could impair the protective
relay’s function on the air compressor. Loss of the protective relay’s function may cause serious damage to the air
compressor such as burning of the airend. In the event that the control circuit needs to be modified, contact the local
Hitachi distributor.
3 Before opening the starter/control box cover to service or wire the air compressor, disconnect the power to prevent an
electric shock. In addition, attach a notice on the power supply stating “Under maintenance work. Keep switch off.” to
prevent a careless mistake, such as turning the switch back on without notice.

8. STANDARD COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS [Capacity Control System]

① CPCS Motor Speed Control


Based on the pressure signals detected by the pressure
sensor, the built in circuit board’s CPU performs PID
operations or calculates the motor speed that will meet the
compressed air consumption rate, and then inputs the
calculated results to the inverter. The inverter will output the PID stands for Proportional, Integral, and Differential.
instructions of the corresponding frequency to the motor. CPCS stands for Constant Pressure Control System.
The discharge pressure is controlled within a targeted range
due to the increasing and decreasing speeds of the motor.

Discharge Air
- Constant Pressure

② Purge Control
Purge Control is activated if the following conditions below
occur at the same time:
- The operating frequency drops to 35 Hz (equivalent to
50% of the air consumption).
- The pressure detected by the pressure sensor rises to The differential range between the upper pressure point and
the lower pressure point must be 0.05 MPa (7.3 psi) or more.
an upper (purge-start) pressure point.
The blowoff solenoid valve (1) will operate to start purging
the compressed air (contained between the airend and the
check valve) to atmosphere. The system will decrease the
operating frequency to its lowest operating frequency, 30 Hz,
thus saving power.
When the pressure detected by the pressure sensor drops to
a lower (purge-stop) pressure point, the system increases
the frequency to 30 Hz and the blowoff solenoid valve (1)
reoperates to stop the purging, returning the system control
(7.3 psi)
back to CPCS Motor Speed Control.

③ Motor Stop/Restart Control


Motor Stop/Restart Control will activated under one of the
following conditions:
・ Air consumption decreases to 4% 35 35
・ Purge operating continues for 3 minutes.
The system will then automatically stop the motor. For
protection, the motor can only be stopped once every 10 4 4
operating minutes.
When the pressure detected by the pressure sensor drops to
a lower (purge-stop) pressure point, the system will
automatically restart the motor, returning the system control
to CPCS Motor Speed Control.

(1) Once the motor has stopped, it cannot restart for


15 seconds.
(2) The plant’s system pressure may drop drastically
before the motor will restart, 15 seconds later. To
avoid such problems, install an air receiver tank of
1.24 m3 (330US gallon)or larger.

9. MAINTAINING THE DSP

●Before servicing the DSP, carefully read page 2, Chapter 1 “SAFETY”.


●Before servicing the DSP, disconnect the power and wait for 10 minutes to prevent an electric shock.
●Before removing or disassembling any parts on the DSP, stop it, disconnect the power and make sure that the
internal pressure of the DSP has dropped to atmospheric pressure to prevent high pressure air from blowing off
and causing injury.
Special attention must be paid to the piping between the compressor check valve and motorized isolation
valve. The pressure in this section of piping should be drained through the after cooler drain valve.

9. MAINTAINING THE DSP [How to Service the DSP Air Compressor]

4. How to Service the DSP Before servicing the DSP air compressor, stop it, disconnect the
Air Compressor power (turn off the earth leakage (ground) circuit breaker) and verify
that the compressor’s internal pressure has dropped to atmospheric
pressure.
The maintenance intervals shown refer to the standard Maintenance Schedule (A).

Air Intake Filter – (Replace Bi-Annually)

A differential pressure sensor is provided on the suction


throttle valve to detect the pressure differential across
the air intake filter. When the sensor detects a pressure
differential as large as 4.98 kPa (0.7psi)during
operation, AIR FILTER CLOGged appears on the M4
display. If this occurs, clean or replace the air intake
filter in accordance with Maintenance Schedule (A) or
(B). The procedure for cleaning the air intake filter is as
follows:

① Remove the air intake filter cover (1) from the


left-upper panel.

② Remove the air intake filter cover (2).

③ Loosen the wing nut and remove the air intake


① filter.

④ Reinstall and tighten the wing nut.


③ ●If the air intake filter is clogged with dust/dirt
particles; Differential pressure (resistance of flow)
across the air intake filter increases, which results
in decreased air intake to the airend and a rise in
discharge air temperature.
To avoid a problem, service the air intake filter
regularly. If the compressor room environment is
dusty or dirty, service the air intake filter more
frequently than instructed on the Maintenance
Schedule.

●Do not forget to remove the magnet sheet after


servicing the air intake filter. Operating the DSP
without removing the magnet sheet could seize the
airend.

9. MAINTAINING THE DSP [How to Service the DSP Air Compressor]

2 Intercooler Condensate Drain Valve – (Drain Daily) (Clean Filter & Orifice Bi-Annually)

Moisture in the intake air, especially in hot and humid


environments, is condensed inside the DSP during
compression. Daily inspect intercooler condensate drain
valve elbow to verify that there is a slight discharge of
compressed air (with condensate) when the DSP is
loaded. Bi-annually, check and clean the intercooler
condensate drain valve (filter & orifice).

● Inspect intercooler condensate drain valve


elbow to verify that there is a slight discharge
of compressed air (with condensate) when the
DSP is loaded.

● If compressed air is not discharged, clean and


unclog the drain valve (filter & orifice).

● Operating the DSP without draining the


condensate from the intercooler, may rust the
airend internally and cause a major failure.

3 Safety Relief Valve – (Check Operation Monthly)

① Maintain the rated maximum discharge pressure of


the DSP (0.69 MPa (100psi) or 0.86 MPa (125psi)
whichever is applicable).

② Pull the ring of the safety relief valve.

③ Verify that the safety relief valve operates properly


and let go of the ring of the safety relief valve.

During inspection of the operation of the safety relief


② valve, use the appropriate facial protection. High
pressure air containing dust particles can cause
severe injury.

Clean the oil strainer.

② Remove the oil filling port plug, and fill the oil until
the oil reaches the upper red line of the oil level
gauge.

Change the oil regularly, as instructed in the


standard maintenance schedule ( page

5 Oil Strainer (primary) – (Clean 1 Month after Startup Operation and Replace Bi-Annually)


① Remove the cleaning cover. Remove and clean
the oil strainer.
② Replace the oil strainer when overhauling the

9. MAINTAINING THE DSP [How to Service the DSP Air Compressor]

14 V-Belts – (Adjust Tension Annually)(Replace 2-years)

Operating the DSP with loose V-belts may generate


slipping or excessive vibration. To avoid this problem,
service the V-belts regularly.

Before checking the V-belts, stop the DSP and


disconnect the power.
Keep hands and rods, etc. away from the rotating
parts (pulleys, belts, coupling, cooling fans, etc.) to
avoid serious injury.

① View the V-belts contacting surfaces to verify that


the ribs are not chipped or cracked. Check the
pulley and motor sheave to verify that they are not
excessively scraped or chipped.

Pressing ② Verify that the V-belts are not generating any

① Use a 700-mm flat bar.

② Press the flat bar onto the belt span surface between the
pulley and motor sheave (see the figure to the left). Use a
spring balance to apply the appropriate pressing load P
onto the belts at the span center and measure the flexure
δ (see the table to the left).
Review the table for the proper flexure range. If the
flexure is within range, there is no need for belt tension
readjustment. If the flexure is not within range, contact
the local Hitachi distributor for proper tension
readjustment.

③ Belt tension can also be measured using a special tension


meter. For more information about the tension meter,
contact the local Hitachi distributor.

●Low-tensed V-belts may slip and have a


drastically lower service life.
●During a belt tension adjustment, improper
centering may cause a larger misalignment and
reduced service life.
