WATER FLOW CONTROL VALVE FOR HEAT EXCHANGER (Optional Equipment)

 (Figure 5-10, page 

58) - The water flow control valve is adjustable to compensate for varying water inlet temperatures and 
pressures and is to be mounted in the water outlet line after the oil cooler (Figure 5-3, page 48).  Use the 
compressor discharge air temperature gauge on the instrument panel in setting the flow control valve.  
The compressor discharge temperature must be maintained a minimum of 10

°

 F (5

°

 C) above the dew 

point temperature at the maximum anticipated ambient; refer to 

Figure 5-1

, and 

Figure 5-2

, page 47, for 

the dew point temperature at the operating pressure and ambient temperature of the application. 
 

To decrease water flow

 (increase compressor discharge air temperature) turn the adjusting screw from 

left to right, increasing spring tension.  

To increase water flow

 (decrease compressor discharge air 

temperature) turn the adjusting screw in the opposite direction.  The groove at the lower edge of the 
adjusting screw is an index line for use with the index scale 0 to 8 in obtaining a desired setting. 
 
These valves must be handled with care and proper tools and techniques must be used when working on 
the valve. 
 
Care must be used when handling the capillary tube; a kink or break in the tubing or connections will 
make the valve inoperative.  Never attempt to change capillary length.  Excess capillary tube should be 
carefully coiled and placed so that damage will not occur in normal maintenance or traffic past the unit. 
 
If a leak develops through the packing, tighten the packing gland nut firmly with a wrench to reseat the 
packing around the valve stem, then back off the nut until loose, and finally retighten the nut finger tight.  
Tightening the packing nut too tight may cause erratic operation.  An occasional drop of oil on the valve 
stem at the packing nut will prolong packing life. 
 
If valve malfunctions, check for bent or  binding, paint or corrosion on valve stem, foreign material in 
valve, erosion, or thermal system (capillary) failure.  If foreign material or scale is likely, the use of a 
strainer in the inlet water line is recommended. 
 
 

WATER SHUTOFF VALVE - WATER-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER

 (Optional Equipment) (

Figure 5-3

page 48) - A magnetic solenoid-operated water shutoff valve rated at 150 psig (10.3 bar) water pressure 
should be mounted in the water outlet line after the oil cooler.  The valve should be wired into the 
compressor control circuit so that the valve opens to allow water to flow any time the compressor is 
running.  When compressor stops under automatic control, or is shut off manually, the valve should close, 
stopping water flow through the system.  See Wiring Diagrams in Section 4. 
 

OIL RESERVOIR

 - The oil reservoir-separator combines multiple functions into one vessel.  The lower 

half is the oil reservoir, providing oil storage capacity for the system and the top portion, a primary oil 
separation means.  The reservoir also provides limited air storage for control and gauge actuation.
