All components are enclosed in a
soundproofing canopy in sheet stell ,
epoxy powder painted and lined with
deadening fire-resistant material.
The canopy has a pre-filter to prevent
intake of gross particles that might
prematurely clog the radiators and air
filter.
Wide detachable panels and hinged
doors allow easy access for all.
The base has openings to allow easy
lifting and handling of the compressor
(See Section 4).
Standard packing includes:fixing on
wooden pallets,protective polythene
cover,and a cardboard box.
Compressor
The vane compressor is a volumetric rotary compressor.
It consists of a cylinder (stator) in which a rotor, mounted eccentrically and tangential with it rotates,
and two end covers.
The rotor has longitudinal slots in which the vanes slide.
The vanes are pushed against the stator by centrifugal force.
Sealing of the moving parts, cooling and lubrication are provided by an efficient injection of oil through
proper ports, due to the pressure difference between the compression chamber and the oil receiver.
No pump for fluid circulation is needed.
An oil film on the inner surface of the stator prevents direct contact of the moving parts and avoids
any wear.
In the vane compressor there are no axial thrusts pushing the rotor against the end covers.
Therefore there is no need for thrust bearings.
The rotor is supported by white metal bearings having a practically unlimited lifetime.
The air, drawn in through a filter, enters the intake valve and is compressed continuously, pul-
se-free, due to the decrease in volume of the pockets formed by the stator, rotor and vanes.
Intake valve
The intake valve, driven by a hydraulic circuit using the same oil used for lubrication, delivers to the
compressor the air quantity required by the distribution system.
