Change of air intake filter 

 DANGER  

Only perform checks and carry out work on 
the screw compressor when the unit is out 
of operation, depressurized, and secured 
from being switched on again!  

NOTICE 

Never operate the screw compressor system 
without an air filter (even briefly removing it can 
cause considerable damage to the machine)!  

 

 

 

Fig. 16

 

 

1  Air intake filter  

As a standard, the air filter is provided with a visual in-
take filter monitor, which indicates clogging of the air 
filter cartridge.  

When the red service field of the intake filter monitor is 
visible and remains clicked into position while the screw 
compressor is out of operation, replace the air filter 
cartridge.  

However, the air filter cartridge should be replaced at the 
latest as specified in chapter 10.3. Check air filter at least 
once a week or, if required, daily for the accumulator of 
dust. When carrying out maintenance work, make sure 
that no dirt gets to the clean air side of the air filter.  

Changing intervals for air filter cartridge  

The operating conditions (e.g., coolant temperatures), 
the operating modes and the quality of the intake air 
(e.g., content of dust, content of gaseous foreign 
substances such as SO

2

 and solvent vapors, etc.) have 

a strong influence on the service life of the filters (air 
filters, water filters, fine separators).  

Where such conditions exist the filter element may 
require changing more frequently.  

10.5

 

Change water filter 

 WARNING  

Air/water under pressure may cause severe 
personal injury.  

 

Shut down compressor, relieve system 
of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and 
tagout power supply to the compressor 
package before removing valves, caps, 
plugs, fittings, bolts and filters.  

 

Make sure that system is leak tight!

1  Water filter 
2  Extraction site for water sample 

You will find the changing intervals listed in the 
maintenance schedule.  
 

Perform the water filter change as follows:  

 

Turn off compressor, secure it from being switched 
on again, and make sure that it is depressurized 
and volt-free.
