Remove distance piece covers to confirm internal tubing connection types and locations.
Limit distance piece compartment pressure to 25 psig (1.7 barg).
Do not plug vents to use drains for venting.
Do not reduce the connection sizes provided by Ariel.
Increase to minimum 3/8 inch tubing from the 1/4 NPT connection (see item 3, FIGURE 1) for
packing vent/drain.
For a remotely mounted crankcase breather, configure piping to prevent back pressure and piping
condensation drainage into the crankcase. Do not connect the crankcase breather to a packing and
distance piece vent system.

cylinder to the distance piece vent line. Leave the second vent connection open to
the atmosphere." Page 6, "Variable Volume Clearance Pocket Vents": see EC for

If the VVCP has one vent connection, do not connect the VVCP gas vent to the flare vent system. The
flare vent system back-pressure will flow gas back through the VVCP vent and across the stem threads.
If the VVCP has two vent connections, connect the vent closest to the cylinder to the distance piece vent
line. Leave the second vent connection open to the atmosphere. See FIGURE 8.

Purged Vent System for Single Distance Piece with Sweep Purge
A long single compartment
distance piece can be
configured to reduce gas
leakage to the atmosphere
with a packing case purge
and a distance piece sweep
purge. Supply the packing
case purge at a pressure of
10-15 psi (0.7 to 1 bar)
above the packing vent back
pressure. Supply the
distance piece sweep purge
at a regulated flow rate of 5
scfh (0.14 m3/hr). The
distance piece compartment
is both purged and vented,
allowing the purge gas to
sweep the compartment.

Installation Notes
CAUTION: Install backflow protection between the supply source and the solenoids to
prevent over-pressure of plant air compressors or other supply sources in the event of
actuator seal failure.
1. Ariel recommends clean air or inert gas to activate the actuator.
2. Do not exceed maximum control pressure as listed on the device. Maximum pressure varies on fixed
volume clearance pockets. Maximum pressure on suction valve unloader actuators is 150 psig
(10.34 barg).
3. Use minimum 3/8 inch (9.53 mm) O.D. tubing throughout.
4. An electrically activated solenoid operating a 3-port, 2-position control valve regulates control
pressure. Place control valve to minimize tubing length between the control valve and actuators:
Below 800 RPM, tube length between the control valve and the actuators must be less than 15
feet (4.57 m).
Above 800 RPM, tube length must be less than 10 feet (3.05 m).
Apply or release control pressure quickly to ensure proper device activation/deactivation:
For suction valve unloaders, less than or equal to three revolutions of the compressor.
For fixed volume clearance pockets, less than or equal to two seconds.
5. The control valve flow coefficient (Cv) must be no less than 1.6. Attach no devices or tubing to the
exhaust port that would reduce vent flow.
6. The unloader assembly drawing or part list specifies control pressure required to operate the
actuators. Ariel recommends monitoring and alarming operating gas pressure to prevent operation
below this value.
7. Always leave actuator vents open to ensure safe and effective unloader operation. Do not allow
paint to block vents.
When process gas is toxic, flammable, or in any other way objectionable in the compressor building,
pipe the lower vent to carry any leakage away. Use vent tubing no less than 3/8 inch (9.53 mm) O.D.,
and if combined with any other vent system, allow no back pressure or vacuum in this piping.
