1.0 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
The Creemers compressorinstallation model RCA uses single-stage screw rotary air compressors with oil injection.
The central unit consists of of: oil separator; oil cooler and output air cooler; fan; safety and regulation devices;
instrument panel.
The system is self-bearing and does not require bolts or other devices to anchor it to the floor.
The unit is completely assembled in the factory; the necessary connections for setting it up are:
• Connection to the power mains (see installation chapter)
• Connection to the compressed air network (see installation chapter)
• Connection to a condensate drain that complies with the local legislation, e.g. an Eminent condensate drain.
The compressor-motor unit is fitted on the machine chassis by means of shock absorbers; this allows the compressor
unit to be stationed directly on the floor without the need of further sound absorbing materials.
2.0 INTENDED USE
The Creemers compressorinstallation model RCA has been built to supply compressed air for industrial use. Place the
compressorinstallation in a well ventilated room. The compressorinstallation may not be used in premises where
there is a risk of fire or explosion or where work is carried out which releases substances into the environment which are
dangerous with regard to safety (for example: solvents, inflammable vapours, alcohol, etc.). In particular the
compressorinstallation may not be used to produce air to be breathed by humans or used on direct contact with
foodstuffs. These uses are only allowed if the compressed air produced is filtered by means of a suitable filtering system
(consult Creemers Compressors B.V. for these special uses.)
This Creemers compressorinstallation RCA must be used only for the purpose for which it was specifically designed. All
other uses are to be considered incorrect and therefore unreasonable. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for
any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use.
3.0 OPERATION
3.1 OPERATION OF THE COMPRESSOR
The electric motor and the compressor unit are coupled by means of a belt transmission. The compressor unit takes in
the outside air through the suction valve. The intake air is filtered by the filter cartridge fitted upstream from the intake
valve. Inside the compressor unit, the air and the lubricating oil are compressed and sent to the oil separating tank
where the oil is separated from the compressed air; the air is then filtered again by the oil separating cartridge to reduce
the amount of suspended oil particles to a minimum. The compressorinstallation is fitted with a suitable air-cooling
system. The machine is protected by a special safety thermostat: if the oil temperature reaches 105 ÷ 110 °C the
machine switches off automatically.

3.2 OPERATION OF THE REFRIGERANT AIRDRYER
When in use, the air flows from the airtank to the airdryer and is then dried and sent to the distribution network. Operation
is described below. The gaseous refrigerant coming from the evaporator (4) is sucked by the refrigerant compressor (1)
and is pumped into the condenser (2). This condensor allows its condensation, if necessary with the help of the fan (3);
the condensed refrigerant passes through the dewatering filter (8), it expands through the capillary tube (7) and goes
back to the evaporator where it produces the refrigerating effect. Due to the heat exchange with the compressed air
which passes through the evaporator against the stream, the refrigerant evaporates and goes back to the compressor for
a new cycle.
The circuit is equipped with a bypass system for the refrigerant; the bypass system intervenes to adjust the available
refrigerating capacity to the actual cooling load. This is achieved by injecting hot gas under the control of the valve (9):
this valve keeps the pressure of the refrigerant inside the evaporator constant, thus ensuring that the dew point never
decreases below 0 °C, in order to prevent the condensate from freezing inside the evaporator.
The airdryer runs completely automatic; it is calibrated in the factory at a dew point of ~ 3 °C and therefore no further
calibrations are required.

20.0 STARTING UP
Before carrying out maintenance jobs it is obligatory to stop the compressor, switch off he power
mains and disconnect the machine from the compressed airline system.
20.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Check the oil level (ref. 1 fig. 23). When delivered the machine is filled with oil; if the oil level is not as it should be, fill up
with the same oil as the type already in the compressor. If more than 3 months have passed between the inspection in
the factory and the date of installation, lubricate the screw group before starting up.
Proceed as follows:
• Remove the cover (ref. 2 fig. 23)
• Remove the roof panel (ref. 3 fig. 23)
• Remove the filter cover (ref. 4 fig. 23)
• Remove the air filter (ref. 5 fig. 23)
• Pour a little oil into the suction unit
• Reinstall the air filter (ref. 5 fig. 23)
• Reinstall the covers (ref. 4, 3 and 2 fig. 23)
If more than 6 months have passed between the inspection in the factory and the date of installation, consult
Creemers Compressors B.V.
20.2 STARTING THE AIRDRYER
Start the airdryer before turning on the compressor. The compressed airline system can only be free of condensate by
making sure this order of actions is maintained. The airdryer must be kept running during the entire time the compressor
is running. WARNING: If the airdryer is switched off wait at least 5 minutes before starting it again, so that the pressure
inside the airdryer can balance. 4

20.3 CHECK THE COMPRESSOR ROTATION DIRECTION AND START UP
• Check that all the covers are in place

• Apply voltage to the compressor by turning on the main power switch (ref. 1 fig. 24)
• Start the compressor by turning the switch on (ref. 2 fig. 24) and after 1 second, stop it by turning the switch to ‘off’
• If the direction of rotation is correct, the paper sheet (ref. 3 fig. 24) is blown upwards
• If the rotation is NOT correct, the paper sheet remains flat see fig. B PHASE INCORRECT
• Disconnect the energy supply and invert two connections (ref 1 fig. B)
It is recommended that you do not change any setting of the machine control panel.
If all the instructions in this manual have been followed the machine may be started.
All work on the electric plant, however slight, must be carried out by qualified personnel.

If the machine must be started at very low temperatures (below -5 / -10 °C) keep button (ref. 1 fig. 24A)
pressed for a few seconds (cut-out oil thermostat) and at the same time start the machine as explained
above. As soon as the oil reaches a temperature around 0 °C, the machine will be able to work correctly.
The button (ref. 1 fig. 24a) must not be blocked, as it cuts out the safety thermostat and would create a safety hazard and
danger of fire.
21.0 GENERAL ORDINARY MAINTENANCE FOR QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
Before carrying out any maintenance jobs it is obligatory to stop the machine, turn off the power
mains and disconnect it from the compressed airline system.
Maintenance schedule. These maintenance intervals are recommended for work environments that are not dusty and are
well ventilated. For particularly dusty environments, double the frequency of controls.
Every Day (after use) Drain condensate from the air tank
Check automatic condensate drain function
Every 50 working hours Drain condensate from the oil tank
Check the oil level
Clean the filtering panel
Every 500 hours Clean the air inlet filter
Clean the condenser on the airdryer
Clean the dirt collection filter
Check V-belt tension
Every 2000 hours Change the air inlet filter
Change the oil
Change the oil filter
Change the oil separator cartridge
Every 4000 hours Clean the finned surface of the air-oil cooler
Change the oil separating filter
Change the V-belts
The operations marked are described in part "A" of this manual Chapter 15.1

22.0 CHANGING THE OIL
Attention: This operation must be done at the same time as changing the oil filter and air inlet filter.
Before carrying out any maintenance jobs it is obligatory to stop the machine, turn off the power
mains and disconnect it from compressed airline network.
Changing oil is an important operation for the compressor. If the lubrication of the bearings is not efficient, the
compressor’s life span will be short. The oil must be changed when the machine is still warm, that is immediately after
stopping it. Proceed as follows. After draining the old oil out of the machine (ref. 1 fig. 25)
• Fill the oil manifold (ref. 2 fig. 25) up to the level mark
• Pour a bit of oil into the air intake unit, as described in Chapter 20.1
• Close all the covers and front
• Start the compressor after about 1 minute, stop the machine by turning the switch (ref. 3 fig. 25) in off position
• Proceed as described in Chapter 15.3
