SYMPTOM 

 

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

 

REMEDY 

 

 

 

 

 

Excessive oil at 
intake filter area 

1. 

Intake valve seals leaking. 

1. 

Check location ventilation and 
improve if necessary.  Inspect, repair 
or replace valve. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. 

Slow intake valve poppet 
action 

2. 

Inspect poppet and guide surfaces.  
Replace if necessary. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. 

Feed 3-way solenoid valve 
malfunction 

3. 

Repair, clean or replace valve. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oil carryover 

1. 

Overfilling oil separation 
vessel 

1. 

Drain excess oil from system. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. 

Clogged oil return line orifice 

2. 

 

Inspect and service. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. 

Clogged oil return line strainer 

3. 

Inspect and service. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. 

Clogged, broken, or loose oil 
return line fittings 

4. 

Inspect and tighten or replace. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. 

Ruptured oil separator 
element. 

5. 

Replace element. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. 

Loose assembly 

6. 

Tighten all fittings and gaskets. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. 

Foam caused by use of 
incorrect oil 

7. 

Use Gardner Denver AEON 9000SP 
oil only. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. 

Minimum pressure valve 
malfunction 

– discharge 

pressure below 80 psig 

8. 

Repair or replace.  Inspect, adjust or 
replace regulator. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Low Discharge 
Temperature 

1. 

Oil mixing valve stuck on full 
cooler flow mode 

1. 

Check 24 Vdc power feed to servo. 
Check ModBus connection to servo. 
Check servo-to-valve coupling. 
Check rotation of ball valve.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. 

Short load/unload cycles do 
not allow oil to reach normal 
operating temperature 

2. 

Adjust “Auto Timer” in AirSmart 
controller to at least 5 min value.  
This action forces package to 
operate at min speed for set time 
before stopping.
