second off sequence with a distinct pause between sequences. In addition the light will illuminate on initial
start up for a period of 5 seconds, to serve as a lamp test function. The lamp is a LED lamp for long trouble
free life.
2.6.1 One Flash - Final Separator Warning
The compressor unit is equipped with a final separator. To prevent fatigue failure of this pressure vessel,
the PLC program monitors the pressurization, de-pressurization cycles of the separator and will first issue a
Warning, and then an Alarm. The program is set up to provide the warning at 90% of the maximum recom-
mended number of cycles. The program is configured to reflect these values when it is built. When the warn-
ing is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt the operator to contact

Page 9 1st ed. Rev. 0 Chg. 0


MNL-0413 BAUER
COMPRESSORS
Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the Final Separator. When the Alarm level has been
achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replacement of the Final Separator.
Once the Final Separator is replaced, the unit can be re-activated by making adjustments to the PLC. Please
contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions on this procedure.

^ WARNING ^
Do not attempt to override the Separator Shutdown Warning.
This feature is provided to protect personnel from injury or death.

2.6.2 Two Flashes - Securus Monitor


The compressor purification system is equipped with a Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor. This con-
sists of a control module and cable connected to the purification chamber. It functions as a capacitive sensor,
sensing the moisture in the purified air. When the chemicals in the purification cartridges have reached the
point where they retain a set level of moisture, the Securus monitor will issue a warning via the amber
Warning Light. On a Securus Warning condition, the compressor will run normally, the PLC I7 lamp will
illuminate, and the warning code will flash. This warning is meant to prompt the operator to schedule
replacement of the purification cartridge.
2.7 Alarms
The red Warning Light located on the control panel flashes warning codes with a 0.5 second on, 0.5 sec-
ond off sequence with a distinct pause between sequences.In addition the light will illuminate on initial start
up for a period of 5 seconds, to serve as a lamp test function. The lamp is a LED lamp for long trouble free
life.
2.7.1 One Flash - Compressor High Temperature
The compressor high temperature switch is located on the compressor block, third, fourth or fifth stage
head, depending on model. Under normal operating conditions, the switch is closed and the I1 lamp on the
PLC is illuminated. On a high temperature condition, the compressor will shutdown, the I1 lamp will extin-
guish, and the alarm code will flash.
2.7.2 Two Flashes - Compressor Low Oil Pressure
The compressor oil pressure switch is located on the back of the compressor block, mounted with the oil
pressure gauge. The switch is N.O., Normally Open, and is connected to the PLC on terminal I2. During star-
tup of the compressor, the oil pressure switch is bypassed for a period of 45 seconds to allow the oil pressure
to stabilize, then the switch will close. Then should the compressor lose oil pressure, the compressor will
shutdown, the I2 lamp will extinguish, and the alarm code will flash.
2.7.3 Three Flashes - Compressor Overtime
The compressor has an overtime function, where if the compressor runs continuously for 5 hours, then
the compressor will shutdown, and the alarm code will flash. This is done to secure the equipment if it were
to be started and left unattended.
2.7.4 Four Flashes - Securus Monitor
The compressor purification system is equipped with a Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor. This con-
sists of a control module and cable connected to the purification chamber. It functions as a capacitive sensor,
sensing the moisture in the purified air. When the chemicals in the purification cartridge has reached the
point where it retains a set level of moisture, the Securus monitor will issue an alarm via the red Alarm

BAUER K20V
COMPRESSORS
Light. On a Securus ALARM condition, the compressor will shutdown, the PLC I5 lamp will be illumi-
nated, and the alarm code will flash.
2.7.5 Five Flashes - Carbon Monoxide Monitor Alarm
The compressor system is equipped with a Carbon Monoxide Monitor. This consists of an electronic
module that samples the compressed air supply. The unit will provide a continuous display of the CO level in
PPM, parts per million. If the CO level becomes excessively high, then the red alarm light on the face of the
monitor will illuminate. At the same time the alarm relay in the CO Monitor which is connected to the PLC
I4 will generate a CO ALARM condition.The compressor will shutdown, the I4 lamp will illuminate, and the
alarm code will flash.The unit should be calibrated with a test gas monthly. Refer to the chapter titled CO
Monitor for this procedure.
2.7.6 Six Flashes - Final Separator Shutdown

^ WARNING ^
Do not attempt to override the Final Separator Shutdown. This feature is provided to protect operating per-
sonnel from injury or death.

The high pressure-breathing compressor is equipped with a final separator. To prevent fatigue failure of
this vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization, de-pressurization cycles of the separator and will
issue a Warning, and then later an Alarm. The program is set up to provide a warning at 90% of the maxi-
mum recommended number of cycles. The program is configured to reflect these values when it is built.
When the warning is illuminated, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt the operator
to contact Bauer Compressors for making arrangements to replace the separator. When the Alarm level has
been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replacement of the separator.
Once this is accomplished, the unit can be re-activated by making adjustments to the PLC. Please contact
Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions
2.7.7 Seven Flashes - Condensate Fault
The compressor condensate level float switch is located in the condensate collection tank. Under normal
operating conditions, the switch is open and the I6 lamp on the PLC is off. On a high condensate level the
float switch will close, the compressor will shutdown, the PLC I6 lamp will illuminate, and the alarm code
will flash. The operator should drain the condensate from the tank and resume operation of the equipment.

^ NOTE ^
The compressor condensate contains some oil, and accordingly, should
be disposed of in accordance with state and local regulations.

2.7.8 On Steady - Motor Starter Overload Trip


The compressor overload relay is located in the electrical enclosure, directly beneath the motor starter.
The relay is Normally Open and is not connected to the PLC, but is connected directly to the red Alarm
Light. Under normal operating conditions, the switch is open. On an Overload Trip of the motor, the com-
pressor will shutdown, and the Alarm Light will be illuminated steady (no flash sequence).

3.1.2 Lubrication System


3.1.2.1 Description.
The compressor is provided with forced-feed lubrication. The oil pressure is produced by a low revving
gear pump. The oil pressure is between 44 psi and 87 psi (3 to 6 bar).

^ CAUTION ^
This oil pump must be operated in the correct direction of rotation, other wise no oil pressure will
be built up and the compressor may be damaged.

(See Figure 3-3) The oil pump (1) is coupled to and driven by the crankshaft. It pumps oil from the crank-
case through an oil filter (2) and the oil pressure regulating valve (3) to the 4th stage cylinder. The oil is then
distributed by the guide piston of the 4th stage and lubricates all the moving parts of the compressor block.
The oil pressure sensor (5) allows mounting for an optional oil pressure gauge or electronic pressure monitor-
ing.

3.1.2.2 Oil Level Check
(See Figure 3-4). Check the oil level at the oil filler sight gauge on the compressor block every day before
putting the compressor into operation. Oil level must never be below the minimum mark molded into the

Min

3.1.2.3 Oil Change Interval


The synthetic oil should be changed every 2,000 operating hours or biennially, whichever is reached first.
3.1.2.4 Oil Capacity
The oil capacity is approximately 6.5 quarts (6.0 liters). The amount of oil between the minimum and
maximum marks is approximately 1.7 quarts (1.6 liters).
3.1.2.5 Oil Change
1. Run the compressor until it is warm.
2. Remove cap from Oil Filler Sight Gauge.
3. Open the Oil Drain Plug.

^ CAUTION ^
Replace the oil filter at every oil change, otherwise when the filter becomes clogged a bypass valve
opens and the oil circulates without being filtered.

4. (See Figure 3-5) Remove two bolts (1) with a 13mm wrench. Remove cover (2).
5. (See Figure 3-6) Remove the Oil Filter (1) from the rubber gasket at the cover.
6. Mount a new filter element and replace and fasten cover.
7. Fill new oil through filler neck to the Maximum mark on the Oil Fill Sight Gauge.
8. Pour oil in slowly, wait a few minutes until the level settles then replace cap in the Oil Fill Sight
Gauge.
9. Return the unit to operation.

3.1.2.6 Venting the Oil Pump

^ CAUTION ^
To avoid damage after maintenance the following measures should be strictly adhered to.

(See Figure 3-6). If after the start of the compressor no oil pressure builds up, venting the oil pump may
be necessary, especially after maintenance and repair work. It may also be necessary if the unit has been
operated in the wrong direction of rotation.
1. With the unit running, open the condensate drain valves.
2. Open Oil Pump Vent Plug (2) and wait until oil comes out bubble free.
3. Replace Oil Vent Plug.

^ WARNING ^
Dynamic Loading
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of an intermediate separator during condensate draining sub-
jects 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 depres-
surization- repressurization. The BAUER recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen
minutes and is a balance between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality
of the delivered air.

3.1.4 Intermediate Separators


3.1.4.1 Description
Two intermediate separators are mounted on the compressor, one after the 2nd stage and another after 3rd
stage. These separators are designed to remove oil and water which accumulates due to the cooling of the air
after the compression process. Separation is achieved by means of centrifugal action. In the 2nd stage separa-

June 01, 2006 Page 18


BAUER K20V
COMPRESSORS
tor the design of the filter head provides this action. In the 3rd stage separator the centrifugal action is pro-
vided by a vortex plate additionally a sintered metal filter is provided to remove dirt contamination.
3.1.4.2 Maintenance
The Intermediate Separators require no maintenance.
3.1.5 Compressor Valves and Valve Heads
3.1.5.1 Functional Description
The valve heads of the individual stages form the upper part of the cylinders. The inlet and pressure
valves are fitted inside the valve heads.
When the piston moves downwards, the resultant vacuum in the piston cylinder opens the inlet valve.
When the piston moves upwards, the inlet valve is closed and the pressure valve opened by the pressure cre-
ated in the compression process. See Figure 3-10.

Figure 3-10 Valve Function

Intake Pressure

3.1.5.2 Initial Operational Check of the Valves


After roughly half an hour of operation, the valves should be checked. The outlet piping should be hot if
the valves are operating properly. Note that the inlet line to the valve heads should be warm to the touch.

^ WARNING ^
Do not touch the outlet piping with bare hands, use a thermometer.

3.1.5.3 General Instructions for Changing the Valves


Please observe the following instructions for valve maintenance:
1. Always replace valves as a complete set.
2. Carefully clean dirty valves. Never use a sharp tool for this purpose. Soak the valves in Varsol and
clean with a soft brush.

Page 19 1st ed. Rev. 0 Chg. 0


MNL-0413 BAUER
COMPRESSORS
3. Check the individual components for excessive wear. If the valve seat or valve discs are dented,
replace the valves.
4. Check the valve space in the valve heads for dirt, and clean if necessary.
5. Use only satisfactory gaskets and O-rings during reassembly.
6. Observe the correct sequence when reassembling.
7. After finishing all maintenance work on the valves, turn the compressor manually using the fly-
wheel and check whether all items have been correctly installed.
8. 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.
9. Remove and check the valves every 1000 operating hours.
10. Replace the valves every 2000 operating hours to avoid fatigue failure.
11. Use an assembly tool (BAUER P/N: 011365) for all work on valve heads (See Figure 3-15).

3.2 Four Stage Automatic Condensate Drain System
3.2.1 Description
The automatic condensate drain system operates electropneumatically and is comprised of the following:
A condensate manifold Two pneumatically operated condensate drain valves
An electrically controlled solenoid valve A condensate separator/silencer
A condensate collector bottle Electronically controlled by the PLC

The automatic condensate drain system drains the intermediate separators and the oil and water separator
every 15 minutes during operation. Additionally the automatic condensate drain system unloads the compres-
sor during the starting phase and drains these separators at shutdown of the compressor unit.

3.2.1.1 Compressor Operating
The normally open solenoid valve (1) controls the condensate draining of the 2nd stage intermediate sep-
arator (2). The normally open 3rd stage condensate drain valve (4) controls the condensate draining of the 3rd
stage intermediate separator (3). The normally open oil and water separator condensate drain valve (5) con-
trols the condensate draining of the oil and water separator (6). The control air for the 3rd stage condensate
drain valve (4) is taken from the 2nd stage intermediate separator (2). The control air for the oil and water
separator condensate drain valve (5) comes from the 3rd stage intermediate separator (3).
As the compressor is started, the solenoid valve (1) is electrically energized and closes. This allows the
pressure to buildup in the intermediate separators (2 and 3). This pressure buildup results in control air clos-
ing both condensate drain valves (4 & 5).
3.2.1.2 Condensate Draining
Every 15 minutes the timer deenergizes the solenoid valve (1) for approximately 6 seconds. The solenoid
valve (1) opens and drains the condensation from the 2nd stage intermediate separator (2). Due to the pres-
sure loss in the 2nd stage intermediate separator the control air for the 3rd stage condensate drain valve (4) is
also removed. As the pressure of the control air is dropping, the piston of the 3rd stage condensate drain
valve (4) becomes unloaded and the remaining control air is vented through a relief port. Then the piston of
the drain valve is fully raised by pressure from the 3rd stage separator, and the condensate is drained. This in
turn causes a pressure loss in the 3rd stage intermediate separator (3) and the control air for the oil condensate
drain valve (5) is removed and the oil and water separator condensate drain valve opens and drains the oil and
water separator (6).

MNL-0413 BAUER
COMPRESSORS
3.2.1.3 Start Unloading
The unloading of the compressor during the starting phase is possible because of the lack of control air
immediately after starting the unit. As the unit is switched on the solenoid valve (1) is energized and closes.
After the compressor has attained nominal speed, pressure builds in the intermediate separators (2 and 3) and
the control air closes the condensate drain valves (4 and 5). Once these valves close, the compressor delivers
to the consuming device.
3.2.1.4 Standstill Drainage
At compressor shutdown, the solenoid valve (1) is deenergized and opens. This drains the condensate and
relieves the pressure in the 2nd stage intermediate separator (2). This action in turn removes the control air
form the condensate drain valves (4 & 5) which open and drain and relieves the pressure in the 3rd stage
intermediate separator (3) and oil and water separator (6).
3.2.1.5 Condensate Drain Piping
The outlet opening of the condensate drain manifold is equipped with a tube connector. From here the
condensation is directed into a collecting bottle by means of a tube to the pre-separator elbow and a conden-
sate drain separator.
3.2.1.6 Condensate Drain Separator
The condensate drainage is a mixture of oil, water and air. The Condensate Drain Separator is utilized to
separate the oil and water from the air. The oil and water is then piped to the Condensate Collector Bottle
where the oil and water mixture is stored until it can be disposed of properly.
3.2.2 ACD Maintenance
The condensate drain valves are provided with manual drain valves to verify correct operation of the
automatic system.
The automatic condensate drain system must be serviced once a week as follows:
1. Open all manual drain valves one after the other.
2. Observe the drainage of condensation.
3. If the system drains more than 2 ounces of liquid per stage, either the system or the corresponding
condensate drain valve is not working properly.
4. Find the fault and remedy accordingly.
5. If little or no condensation emerges, the automatic system is operating properly.
6. The condensate collection bottle should be emptied regularly. Due care must be taken to ensure that
any oil which is drained with the condensate is disposed of properly. Check local, state and federal
regulations.

4.3.1 Maintenance Records


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 maintenance.
To assist in this process the following maintenance control sheet is provided and may be copied as
required. The shaded boxes indicate when each maintenance task is due. Enter the number of operating hours
in these blocks and date and sign it at the bottom.

CHAPTER 5: PURIFICATION SYSTEM
5.1 General
The purpose of all BAUER breathing air purification systems is to remove Carbon Monoxide, oil, water,
taste and odor from the compressed air stream before final delivery. For this reason BAUER purification sys-
tems are installed immediately before the compressed air delivery point
5.1.1 General Purification System Procedures
1. Keep an accurate record of operating hours to ensure exact attention to maintenance intervals
2. Change all cartridges before reactivating a compressor unit that has been out of service more than
three months. Leave cartridges in the unit as long as it is out of service.
3. While out of service keep all condensate drain valves closed. Maintain a pressure of 700 to 1,100
psi (50 to 80 bar) within the system to prevent moisture from entering the compressor and purifica-
tion system.
5.1.2 Chamber Safety Bore
The chambers in all BAUER purification systems are designed to prevent pressurization if the cartridge is
missing, not seated properly or damaged (See Figure 5-1). Without a cartridge properly in place the safety
bore is not sealed, the air escapes into the atmosphere, no pressure can be built up and thus it is ensured that
unfiltered air is not supplied to the consuming device. If air is escaping from the safety bore remove and
check cartridge. If necessary replace the cartridge or O-rings.

Figure 5-1 Cartridge Safety Venting

Safety Safety
Vent Vent

Cartridge Installed No Cartridge Installed

5.1.3 Manual Condensate Drainage


The condensate must be drained from the oil and water separator before changing any cartridge. This is
done by slowly opening the condensate drain valves. They are opened approximately 1/3 of a turn to the left
and held open until the condensate is completely drained. The condensate drain valves close by spring pres-
sure but if necessary may be tightened by hand to ensure they are completely air tight.

5.1.6 Cartridge Operating Life


Every BAUER Purification System is designed to process a certain volume of air before the cartridges
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 equipment the recom-
mended method of determining cartridge operating life is to maintain a written record of the volume of air
processed by the purification system.
Each BAUER compressor block is rated to produce a standard volume of air per minute and by using this
number and the air processing capability of the purification system it is possible to calculate the maximum
operating hours before the cartridges need to be replaced. See Paragraph 5.1.6.1 for the method of determin-
ing this figure.
The ambient air temperature and its ability to cool the compressor will effect the operating life of the car-
tridge. See Paragraph 5.1.6.2 for the method of calculating this adjustment factor.
The optimum place to measure the temperature is at the inlet to the final separator as this best reflects the
temperature of the air as it enters the chambers. Experience has shown that this temperature is approximately
10 F above the ambient temperature. Therefore for the purpose of calculating cartridge operating life use the
Ambient Air Temperature plus 10 F.
A form titled Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours is found in Paragraph 5.1.6.3 and in the Appen-
dices. It is used for recording the ambient temperature, operating time and adjustment factor. 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 1-5.
5.1.6.1 Calculating the Maximum Cartridge Operating Hours
1. From the purification system dataplate (See Figure 5-2) on the purification chamber determine the
Air Processed (cu.ft.)
2. From the paragraph titled Compressor Specifications in the instruction manual for your compressor
unit determine the Charging Rate in SCFM of your compressor.
3. Divide the Air Processed by the Charging Rate 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.

5.1.6.2 Calculating the Adjusted Cartridge Operating Hours


1. Using the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form (FORM-0018) record the Date, Operat-
ing Hours and Ambient Air Temperature plus 10 F.
2. Using either the graph or the chart in Figure 1-4 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 Cartridges.

5.2 P42 Purification System
5.2.1 Major Components
The P42 Purification System major components are an Oil and Water Separator, and a Purification
Chamber. Figure 5-7 shows the functional interconnection of all the components.
5.2.2 Configuration Options
Some Bauer Compressors have the P42 Purification System as an option rather than a standard item,
therefore, this chapter may not apply to your unit.
The P42 Purification System is also available with the Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor System as a
factory installed upgrade. This option replaces the standard purification chamber with a Securus Purification
Chamber. A Securus Indicator and associated wiring are also added. If this option was not purchased, por-
tions of this chapter about the Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor System do not apply.

5.2.3 Component Description
5.2.3.1 Oil and Water Separator

^ WARNING ^
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the oil and water separator during condensate draining sub-
jects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the oil and water separator (P/N 079416) must be replaced after a predetermined number of cycles.
One load cycle equals one pressurization plus one depressurization.
Units operating between 3,000 and 5,000 psi = 44,000 load cycles (11,000 hours of operation)
Units operating between 5,000 and 6,000 psi = 22,000 load cycles (5,500 hours of operation)
The BAUER recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen minutes and is a balance
between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality of the delivered air.

Page 71 1st ed. Rev. 0 Chg. 0


MNL-0413 BAUER
COMPRESSORS
The air leaving the final stage is cooled in the aftercooler to approximately 18 - 27F (10 -15C) above
ambient temperature and then enters the oil and water separator. The oil and water separator works by means
of a sintered metal filter which separates liquid oil and water particles from the compressed air.

Figure 5-8 Oil and Water Separator

Figure 5-9 OIl and Water Separator Labels

5.2.3.2 Chamber
Each chamber is made up of an anodized aluminum housing and a filtering cartridge. There are two gen-
eral types of filtering cartridges, drying or purifying. The cartridge type is determined by the ingredients
packed in the cartridge. The chamber is named after the type of cartridge it contains, i.e. dryer chamber or
purification chamber.
5.2.3.3 Cartridge Construction
The cartridge casing, top and bottom are aluminum and are packed with one or more of the following.
1. A catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.

June 01, 2006 Page 72


BAUER K20V
COMPRESSORS
2. Activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors effecting taste and odor.
3. Molecular sieve to absorb oil and water.
Figure 5-10 Cartridge

Protective Cap

5.2.3.4 Cartridge Handling


1. Never open the protective packaging a cartridge comes in prior to its actual use. The highly sensi-
tive filter materials will absorb moisture from the atmosphere becoming saturated and useless.
2. Used cartridges must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

5.2.3.5 Condensate Drain Valve


A manually operated valve used for maintenance and before start-up to drain the condensed liquids from
the coalescing oil and water separator.
5.2.3.6 Check Valves
Valves allowing compressed air to flow in only one direction. One is used to maintain pressure in the
chamber when the compressor is not operating. The other check valve prevents back-flow from filled storage
cylinders or tanks.
5.2.3.7 Bleed Valve
A manually operated valve used to release the pressure in the chamber before maintenance.
5.2.3.8 Pressure Maintaining Valve
The pressure maintaining valve ensures that pressure is built up in the system from the start of delivery,
thus achieving constant optimum purification. It also assures proper working conditions for the final stage of
compression.
5.2.3.9 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.
5.2.3.10 Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor System
The Securus Electronic Moisture Monitor System is a factory installed option which warns the operator
in advance of expiration of the life of the cartridges. The Securus Indicator receives signals concerning the
condition of the drying agent inside the Securus cartridge from the attached sensors and supplies the appro-
priate control signals whenever the preset threshold values have been reached.

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

2. Compressor Flywheel 5. V-belt sheave
3. Compressor Mount 6. Electric Motor
6.2 Maintenance of the V-belt and Sheave
6.2.1 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 drives efficiency and abrades the cover of the belt, which results in premature failure. A
worn sheave shortens belt life as much as 50%. If the groove is worn to the point where the belt bottoms, slip-
page may result and the belt may burn. If the side wall is dished out, the bottom shoulder ruins the belt pre-
maturely by wearing off the bottom corners.
6.2.2 Checking the V-belt
Inspect the V-belt regularly for damage and wear. Replace if necessary.
6.2.3 V-belt tension
V-belt tension is adjusted by sliding the motor until pressing down on the V-belt between the sheaves
results in an approximate deflection of 3/8 (10 mm). (See Figure 6-2).

6.3 Maintenance of the Drive Motor


For maintenance of the electric motor refer to the OEM manual, if included, or see an instruction plate
attached to the motor. If maintenance instructions are shown for the motor, they supersede these general
instructions.

^ WARNING ^
Always disconnect the electrical power before working on the motor

6.3.1 Lubricating the Drive Motor


1. Stop the motor.
2. Disconnect the power and lock the system out of service.
3. Wipe all grease fittings (fill and drain) clean.
4. Remove the fill and drain plugs from the bearing hub.
5. Free the drain hole of any hard grease. Use a piece of wire if necessary.
6. Add grease using a low pressure grease gun. The amount and type of grease added is very impor-
tant. Only enough grease should be added to replace the grease used by the bearing. Too much
grease can be as harmful as insufficient grease. The grease cavity should be filled 1/3 to 1/2 full.
7. Start the motor and let it run for approximately 30 minutes.
8. Stop the motor, wipe off any drained grease and replace the filler and drain plugs.
9. The motor is ready for operation.

CHAPTER 7: ELECTRICAL PANEL ASSEMBLY
7.1 Overview

Figure 7-1 Electrical Panel Assembly

The Electrical Panel Assembly uses a micro Programmable Logic Controller, Motor Starter, transformer
and switches manufactured by Telemecanique. This controller model is called TWIDO. The control system
will provide logical control and safety shutdowns for the compressor equipment. All necessary time delays,
counters, shutdowns, sequencing and safety features are incorporated into a proprietary program permanently
saved into PLC memory using EEPROM technology. There are normally six PLC programs used in this
Electrical Panel Assembly, based on the pressure and use of the compressor. The program version used can
be identified by the white sticker on the face of the PLC. The panel is pre-wired and fused for the horsepower
and voltage of the compressor. The power source for the panel is selected at the time of order from the fol-
lowing options.
208 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz supply 230 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz supply
460 volt, 3 phase, 60 Hz supply 230 volt, 1 phase, 60 Hz supply

Page 85 1st ed. Rev. 0 Chg. 0


MNL-0413 BAUER
COMPRESSORS

^ NOTE ^
Other configurations and options are also available by special order. Some components and programs
listed may be altered by these special orders.

The basic panel components consist of a 16 I/O PLC Controller, Motor Starter with Overload Relay,
Control Power Transformer with fuses, Alarm and Warning Lights, Compressor Control Switch, Hourmeter,
Emergency Stop Switch, Starter Reset, Audible Alarm, terminal strip for wire connections and wire harness.
To run the compressor, the Emergency Stop Switch must be pulled out and the Compressor Control
Switch must be in the ON position; at this point, the switch illuminates green and the compressor system is
ready and able to operate. If the pressure in the system drops to approximately 4500 psi1, the air pressure
switch will close, and the compressor will start. All other functions of the compressor are automatic. When
the air pressure has increased, and the pressure switch opens, then the compressor will shutdown. All of these
functions are accomplished through the use of a Programmable Logic Controller. When use of the equipment
is complete, the Compressor Control Switch should be placed in the Off position.
7.2 Options
This panel will electrically support all commonly available compressor options offered by Bauer Com-
pressors. These include:
The Securus Electronic Moisture Monitoring System to monitor the air, and provide first a warning,
and later an alarm, to prompt the operator to replace the high pressure purification cartridges.
The Carbon Monoxide Monitor is used to continuously sample the air that is compressed for use in
the system. Again, the unit will alarm and shut down the compressor if unsafe levels are detected. The
Carbon Monoxide Monitor also comes with a Calibration Kit to ensure accurate readings are being
taken.
The Condensate High Level Alarm will alarm and shutdown the compressor when the condensate
level becomes too high. This Alarm is activated by a float switch in the ACD Condensate Collection
Tank. This alarm prompts the operator to drain the condensate and prevents spilled condensate.
7.3 AC Power Requirements
The panel will need to be supplied with the appropriate voltage, phase, and frequency power to ensure
proper operation. Wiring and conduit selection must be in accordance with all national, state and local codes.
The customer is responsible for providing a disconnection means and protection from instantaneous short cir-
cuit.The pre-wired panel voltage and phase is written on a label (See Figure 7-2) on the inside of the electri-
cal panel door. In this example shown, the panel is wired for 230 volt, single phase. If a schematic for your
machine is not found inside the electrical panel, then please call Bauer Compressors Product Support Group
for a replacement. Please have the Serial number of the compressor available; it is written on the same label.

1. The pressure mentioned is only an example; the switch differential is approximately 10% of the set-point, and is not adjustable.

8.1.1.3 Relief Valve
A relief valve which is factory set to 165 psi to prevent over-pressurization of the CO Monitor.
8.1.1.4 Solenoid Valve
Allows air to flow to the CO Monitor when the compressor is running.
8.1.1.5 Inlet Regulator
A regulator the operator uses to set the appropriate rate of flow (0.5 to 0.8 SCFH) to the CO Monitor.
8.1.1.6 CO Monitor
The CO Monitor contains the LCD Display, Flowmeter, Microprocessor, Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell,
Air Inlet Connection and the Calibration Port.
8.1.1.6.1 Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell.
The Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell is an electro-chemical element inside the CO Monitor which senses
the amount of Carbon Monoxide in the airstream and produces an analog electrical signal for the control and
display functions of the CO Monitor.
8.1.1.7 Test Gas Storage
This provides a place to keep Calibration Gas bottles so that the CO Monitor can be calibrated in all situ-
ations. Normally these are only found only in trailer installations.
8.2 CO Monitor Setup
The initial setup of the CO Monitor is done prior to shipping the unit.
8.3 Operation
1. Start the compressor unit.
2. The LCD Display will show introductory messages and a warm up countdown (WARM XX).

June 01, 2006 Page 114


BAUER K20V
COMPRESSORS
3. After the warm up countdown of 120 seconds, the instrument will display CO level readings.
4. The Inlet Regulator may be adjusted at any time to set the flow level from 0.5 to 0.8 SCFH on the
Flow Indicator.
5. If the compressor is not running then a LOW FLOW indication will show on the display.
6. If carbon monoxide readings remain high or below zero calibration may be needed.
8.4 Maintenance
8.4.1 Calibrating Carbon Monoxide Monitor.

^ NOTE ^
Calibration is recommended every thirty days.

1. Before calibration, be sure that the test gas bottles in the calibration kit have an adequate amount of
gas in the them. Attach the fixed flow regulator to the gas bottle and then detach it. You should hear
a slight popping sound.
2. Turn on the compressor unit. The compressor itself does not have to run, because the test gas is
being substituted for the air supply from the compressor.
3. The compressor unit power needs to be applied to the unit for 15 minutes so the unit can stabilize.
If you attempt to calibrate before the end of this 15 minute period, TO SOON will appear on the
LCD Display.
4. Lift the cap of Inlet Regulator and turn counterclockwise until it stops. This will insure that the air
flow from the compressor unit is shut off.
5. If the gas flow from the compressor unit was not shut off, a message SUPPLY OFF will appear.If
this message appears, shut off the supply air and then begin the calibration process again.
6. Connect the Zero Gas bottle to the Fixed Flow Regulator and connect it to the Calibration Port of
the CO Monitor.
7. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the CO Monitor Flow Indicator
shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.
8. Depress the ZERO CAL Set Switch on the front of the CO monitor with a paper clip for one to five
seconds. The Display should read ZERO CAL and will count down from 60 seconds. At the conclu-
sion, the display prompts, REMOVE ZERO GAS.
9. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator clockwise until it is closed and disconnect it from the
Calibration Port.
10. Disconnect the Zero Gas bottle and connect the 20 ppm CO Test Gas 20 ppm CO to the fixed flow
regulator and connect it to the Calibration Port of the CO Monitor.
11. Turn the value on the Fixed Flow Regulator counterclockwise until the CO Monitor Flow Indicator
shows between 0.5 and 0.8 SCFH.

Page 115 1st ed. Rev. 0 Chg. 0


MNL-0413 BAUER
COMPRESSORS
12. The Display will count down from 60 seconds. At the conclusion, the display will prompt to
REMOVE CO GAS.
13. Turn the valve on the Fixed Flow Regulator clockwise until it is closed and disconnect it from the
Calibration Port and disconnect the 20 ppm CO Test Gas bottle from the fixed flow regulator.
14. Allow 10 minutes for the remaining gas in the CO Sensor Cell to dissipate after the calibration pro-
cess.

^ NOTE ^
If the compressor is started before the test gas dissipates, it could lead to incorrect CO level readings.

15. Turn the compressor on, adjust Inlet Regulator to 0.5-0.8 SCFH to restore normal operations.
8.4.2 Troubleshooting a Calibration Failure
If the unit fails to calibrate, it maybe due to low pressure in Test Gas Bottles, mixing up the Test Gas
Bottles during calibration or an aging CO Sensor Cell.
1. Ensure the Test Gas supply is adequate. See Paragraph 8.4.1 Step 1.
2. Reinitialize the CO Monitor by depressing the ZERO CAL Set Switch, for approximately 30 sec-
onds, until INITING displays in the LCD. This will allow for a greater percentage of compensation
for the gas.
3. If the Test Gas is good and the CO Monitor still refuses to calibrate, replace the CO Sensor Cell.
See Paragraph 8.4.3.
4. If it still doesnt calibrate, contact factory.

8.4.3 Carbon Monoxide Sensor Cell Replacement
(See Figure 8-6)
When CO test gas fails to show a gas response during calibration, a new CO Sensor Cell is required.
Most CO Sensor Cells will last from one and a half to three years. After installing a new CO Sensor
Cell, an initialization step permits the CO Sensor Cell to be calibrated to zero regardless of the back-

ground air. Caution must be taken that the inlet air is free of carbon monoxide or an Impurity Free Air
test gas is used for the initial calibration.
1. Disconnect the power from the unit.

^ CAUTION ^
Be sure the power is disconnected from the unit.

2. Remove the four corner screws and open the CO Monitor front cover.
3. Remove the screws that hold the CO Sensor Cell cover.
4. Remove the CO Sensor Cell from its socket by pulling it up from the circuit board. (See Figure 8-6)
5. Install a new CO Sensor Cell.

^ CAUTION ^
Be sure the shorting wire is removed from the new CO Sensor Cell.

6. Replace the CO Sensor Cell Cover, ensuring the longer screw is in its indicated hole.
7. Reassemble the CO Monitor and reconnect to power.
8. Let the new CO Sensor Cell warm-up for an hour before doing the initial calibration.
9. See Paragraph 8.4.1 for CO Monitor calibration procedures.
8.4.4 Calibration Initialization
The CO Monitor Calibration Initialization follows the same instructions as regular 30 day calibration
check (See Paragraph 8.4.1).
Calibration of the CO Monitor will need to be done if the 30 day calibration check is due or any mainte-
nance on the internal components of the CO Monitor and/or Remote Display was performed.

1. Unscrew the four large screws on all corners of the Front Cover (See Figure 8-3).
2. Lift the Front Cover carefully, to not harm any of the attached wires inside the CO monitor.
3. Find the two white mode buttons on the left side of the motherboard (See Figure 8-7). By briefly
depressing the top button six times it is possible to cycle through the set up parameters to access the
TEST MODE.
4. When TEST MODE is displayed simply depress the bottom Value Change Button. Depressing the
Value Change Button sends an input signal to the PLC, shutting down the compressor system and
annunciating a high CO alarm (reference the electrical section of this manual for more information).
TEST MODE also sounds the auxiliary horn (if installed) and activates the solid squares on Front
Cover LED Readout.
5. The top mode button must be depressed again to return to Normal Mode.
6. Replace Front Cover and screw in place.
8.5 Remote Display Setup

^ NOTE ^
The Remote Display must not be installed more than 100 feet from the CO Monitor.

(See Figure 8-8) To calibrate the Remote Display, adjust the internal potentiometer with the compres-
sor system control switched on, so the CO Monitor will be energized. However do not have the com-
pressor running, because the air supply from the compressor is unnecessary for the Remote Display
setup.

handling, operation and maintenance procedures from the very beginning. The maintenance schedule
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
withstand.
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 tamper with, modify, or bypass safety and shutdown equipment.
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
insure 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 unbal-
anced fan can fly apart and create an extremely dangerous condition.

June 01, 2006 Page 128


BAUER K20V
COMPRESSORS
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 pressure valves in a compressor cylinder head can cause an
extremely dangerous condition. Refer to the appropriate section of this 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.
Do not use gasoline, diesel fuel or other flammable products as a cleaning solution.
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/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 listed in this manual or purchased from BAUER Compressors,
Inc. 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

11.2.2 Installation of the Compressor Unit


11.2.2.1 General
The floor/site must be capable of supporting the weight of the unit. Secure the compressor unit to the
floor using lag bolts. Position the unit so that it is level. Permissible inclination of the compressor unit is
listed in Paragraph 1.4.

^ CAUTION ^
The inclination values listed in Paragraph 1.4 are valid only if the oil level of the compressor is level with
but does not exceed the upper mark of the oil dipstick or oil level sight glass

Ensure that the compressor air intake is supplied with fresh air. The intake air must not contain 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 minimum. It is important that units
draw in clean air. The quality of the incoming air determines the quality of the compressed air. This is impor-
tant even for industrial air, as any incoming fumes will also be compressed and will increase the toxicity to
anyone working with the compressed air.
If a remote control is provided, the unit must be equipped with a clearly visible plate warning the possi-
bility of the unit starting. As an additional measure, anyone starting the unit by remote control must make
sure that no one is checking or operating the unit. For this purpose, a second warning plate should be pro-
vided at the remote control unit.

AUTOMATIC COMPRESSOR CONTROL


UNIT MAY START WITHOUT WARNING!
Before carrying out maintenance and repair work, switch off at the main switch
and ensure the unit will not restart.

Observe and maintain an ambient temperature range of 43 to 113 F.


The area in which the compressor unit is installed should be well lit and easily accessible to facilitate ser-
vicing and routine maintenance.
11.2.2.2 Ventilation
During normal compression, heat is generated by the compressor and by the drive motor/engine. For air-
cooled compressor units, this heat needs to be vented away by sufficient ventilation.
11.2.2.2.1Outdoor 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 weather-
proof enclosure panels.
11.2.2.2.2Indoor 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 opposite
wall, close to the ceiling or in the ceiling.

11.3 Long Term Storage
11.3.1 General
If the compressor unit will be out of service for more than six months, it should be preserved in accor-
dance with the following instructions:
1. Make sure that the compressor is kept indoors in a dry, dust-free room.
2. Cover the compressor with plastic sheets only if no condensation will form under the sheet.
3. Remove the sheet from time to time and clean the outside of the unit.
4. If this procedure cannot be followed, or if the compressor will be out of service for more than 24
months, please contact Bauer Product Support for special instructions.
11.3.2 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.
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 petroleum jelly.

11.3.2.1 Units Equipped with a Filter System


1. Ensure that cartridges remain in the purification system chambers. This will prevent oil from enter-
ing the outlet lines as a result of preservation procedures.
2. Remove the intake filter/intake pipe completely.

11.3.3 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 and the condensate drain valves open.
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 and condensate drain valves.
4. Close the inlet port with a dust cap and/or tape.

11.3.4 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.

11.3.5 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.
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.
11.3.6 Reactivating the Compressor Unit

1. Remove any dust cap or tape from the inlet port and install an intake filter cartridge.
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 purification system, change all 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.
