3.5 About the Cable Sizes and Fuse

Ratings Table
(See section 3.6)
3.5.1 The following assumptions have been made
in compiling the table of cable sizes and fuse
ratings:
a) PVC insulated, 3-core non-armoured copper
cable with a rated conductor operating
temperature of 70°C (where more than 3
conductors are specified, they are assumed to
be in separate 3-core cables).
b) Cables for any given machine are run
separately from the supply cables to other
equipment.
c) Cables are clipped directly to insulated walls.
d) Cables are shaded from direct sunlight and
other sources of external heat.
Notes: (i) Where any of these assumptions is
invalid, or regulations other than BS7671
apply, cable sizes should be calculated for the
actual conditions.
(ii) The voltage at the machine connections
should not be less than nominal voltage less
6%, except 400V 50Hz models which should
be no less than 360V.
(iii) Earth conductors should not be less than
half the cross section of the main conductors,
and may be separate or a fourth conductor in
the main cable.
(iv) ISO 269 fuses or equivalents (EN 60269,
BS 88) must conform to gG characteristics.

4.10.1 The lubrication system is a fully enclosed and (see fig. 4.8)
pressurised oil lubricating system. It consists
4.11.1 The oil is drawn from the sump (1) by the oil
of an oil sump, oil pump, oil cooler, oil filter,
pump (5) and is first passed under pressure to
gearbox, driven gears and bearings, timing
an air blast oil cooler (6). It then enters the air
gears and bearings and oil inlet manifold. The
end cooling jackets (9, 10) after which it

passes to the drive gears (11), air-end
bearings and timing gears.
4.11.2 Pressure in the oil circuit is controlled by a
relief valve (14). If the oil pressure should
exceed 2.5 bar, the relief valve will open and
relieve the pressure by allowing oil to by-pass
the circuit and return direct to the oil sump via
the gearbox.
4.11.3 Oil is prevented from entering the
compression space by vented labyrinth seals
fitted to both ends of the rotor shafts. On
completion of the lubrication cycle the oil is
returned to the sump by gravity drainage.
4.11.4 To ensure that no oil escapes to atmosphere,
a powered breather system (13) extracts any
oil mist from the gearbox under vacuum,
liquefies it and returns it to the oil sump (see
section 4.12).
4.11.5 The system incorporates various control and
safety devices to monitor oil level, pressure
and temperature. Oil temperature and, on
later machines, oil pressure can be displayed
on the control panel. Also, the monitoring
system displays alarm and trip information if
danger levels are approached regarding filter
blockage, low level, low pressure, high
temperature and oil pump motor fault.

5.3 Air and Condensate Pipework

5.3.1 The air discharge flange should be connected
to the distribution header or air receiver using
piping with a minimum nominal bore of
80mm/3in. The discharge piping must connect
into the top of the distribution header to
prevent condensed water from running back
into the compressor during periods of standby
operation. The pipe must not be connected
into either the side or bottom of the header.
An isolating valve should be incorporated in
the discharge piping as shown in fig. 5. 4 to
enable the compressor to be isolated for
maintenance purposes.

of the delivery pressure. Therefore all pressures
(delivery, interstage and oil) must be zero for the
first stage of this routine or the routine will be
aborted with a probe error message. For
subsequent stages, only the delivery pressure
needs to be adjusted.

8.2.1 Description
a) The aftercooler is fitted in the air circuit
between the second stage discharge silencer
and moisture separator, and is the uppermost
of the three cooling elements. Its function is to
cool the second stage delivery air to an
acceptable temperature prior to final delivery
from the compressor plant.
b) The air to be cooled passes through tubes in
the aftercooler which are separated by a
series of cooling fins. Cool ambient air is
drawn through the cooling fins by two fans in
the enclosure.

8.3.3 Description - valves with knurled top cover

a) This valve is comprised of an upper body (7)
which is screwed into a lower body (9). The
upper body contains a knurled top cover (2),
threaded adjuster (3), spring retainer (4),
spring (5), spring plate (8) and valve stem
(12). Atmospheric vents (6) allow the valve
parts to move.
b) The lower body contains the valve head (11)
and main vents (10).
c) To ensure that the valve does not become
stuck shut, the knurled top cover (2) is
threaded so that when it is turned by hand, it
lifts the stem and valve against the pressure
of spring (5). The valve re-seats when the
cover is turned back again.
d) An adjuster (3) is threaded into the valve body
to allow for adjustments to the relief settings at
the factory.
e) Safety valves are factory set and must not be
adjusted. In the event of failure, the valve
should be removed from the compressor and
serviced in accordance with the

8.5 Condensate Drains and Manifold

8.5.1 Description
a) The condensate manifold assembly allows
condensate collected from the two moisture
separators to be drained from the machine at
programmed intervals.
8.5.2 Operation
a) The manifold incorporates 12 ports (six for
each drain). Condensate enters the manifold
(1) at port A and passes through a strainer (2)
and port B to the solenoid valve (4). When the
solenoid is energised, the valve opens and
the condensate is then allowed to pass
through port C to drain at port D.
b) Access to the condensate strainer (2) is
achieved by removing the brass plug (3)
located at the service port E. A manual drain
(5), which is normally closed, allows
condensate to drain from the manifold,
by-passing the solenoid valve and is also
used for servicing purposes.
c) The two condensate strainers prevent any
foreign matter from blocking the solenoid
drain valves.

8.11.1 Description
a) The oil removal filter utilised in the powered
breather system is a coalescing filter
consisting of a filter body, Grade D activated
carbon filter element, automatic oil drain and
sight glass.
b) The carbon in the filter element is of a fine
granular form which offers maximum surface
area. A layer of high efficiency filter material
then traps any carbon dust which may have
been released. Grade D activated carbon
filters operate on the absorption principle.
96 DL051AAA
8.11.2 Operation:-
a) The air and oil vapour mix enters the filter
body and passes, from the inside of the filter
element to the outside, through a deep bed of
activated carbon where the oil vapour is
filtered from the air.
b) The oil vapour liquifies and drops to the
bottom of the filter body and is returned to the
oil sump via the auto drain and reclaiming
pipe. The oil free air exhausts through the
side of the filter body vent into the machine's
enclosure.
c) The sight glass gives an indication of the
current oil level within the filter base and
provides a visual check of correct auto drain
operation.
d) The bleed valve enables rapid
depressurisation of the filter. 1

The valve assembly consists of a body (1) to
which the armature guide and tube containing
the plunger (5), seals (2, 3) and springs (6) is
attached. The coil is pushed over the guide
tube and thus isolated from the medium. The
medium is only in contact with the valve
internals and body.
9.9.2 Operation
a) At pre-determined intervals, the controller
opens the condensate drain valves to drain
any accumulation of moisture which will build
up within the machine, particularly in humid
climates.
b) During normal running, spring (6) holds the
seal and plunger (2, 5) closed on the valve
seat so no condensate moisture can pass
through the valve to drain. Fig. 9.8 - Condensate Drain Solenoid Valve

11.3 Starter STAR DELTA MAIN

CONTACTOR CONTACTOR CONTACTOR
11.3.1 The compressor motor has a Star/Delta
starter system to reduce starting current. On
starting, the Star contactor is energised and
starts the main drive motor under reduced
power. As the motor approaches its rated
speed, a timer within the controller switches
the motor to full power by energising the Delta
contactor and de-energising the Star
contactor.
11.3.2 The starter assembly consists of three
contactors, Main (KM201), Star (KM202) and
