Notes
1. Dryers equipped with a worm gear housing as shown in Fig. 2.16 are filled for life and do not need maintenance. On dryers
equipped with a worm gear housing as shown in Fig. 2.15, stop the compressor and depressurize the dryer, remove plug (6-
Fig. 2.15) and check that the oil is level with the bottom of the plug hole. Top up, if necessary, with oil as specified in note 3.
2. Operate the valve several times for some seconds while there is pressure in the system, by screwing the cap of the valve anti-
clockwise with a gloved hand . Retighten the cap by hand after testing.
3. Dryers equipped with a worm gear housing as shown in Fig. 2.16 are filled for life and do not need maintenance. On dryers
equipped with a worm gear housing as shown in Fig. 2.15, replenish the housing after draining to level with the hypoid gear
lubricant Roto M. Roto M can be ordered at Atlas Copco in 1-l cans, ordering number 2908 8506 00
4. The temperature difference between the incoming water and the outgoing air of the cooler during the loading periods of the
compressor should never exceed 10°C. A contact thermometer should be used to measure the temperature of the pipes. Have
the cooler cleaned if the cooling efficiency is insufficient.
Note: In checking the cooling efficiency of the compressor coolers of combined ZR3/ZR5-MD units, the temperature difference
of 25°C as mentioned in the instruction book of the compressor should be replaced by 10°C.
5. Preferably to be carried out by an Atlas Copco Service representative.
