Requirements on compressed air quality:
Solid matter
Maximum particle size 5 µm
Maximum particle concentration 5 mg/m³
Dew point
Up to +10 °C, water content of 9.4 g/m³
Up to + 2 °C, water content of 5.6 g/m³
Oil content
1.0 to 5 mg/m³
4.2.1
Compressed air lubricator
A compressed air lubricator is not absolutely essential. All moving air amplifier parts
are treated with special grease during assembly.
If the air amplifier is operated with extremely dry air over an extended period, the
grease may resinify. We recommend use of a compressed air lubricator in such
cases.
4.2.2
Pipe cross-sections
The compressed air port must not have a smaller specification than the port thread.
Reduction to smaller port threads may cause performance losses and air amplifier
malfunctions. Excessively long supply pipes may give rise to problems due to
pressure drop in small pipes.
CAUTION
Once a compressed air lubricator has been used, the air amplifier must never be
operated without it. The oil of the compressed air lubricator washes the grease from
the air amplifier, such that permanent lubrication cannot be ensured.
Special grease made by MAXIMATOR GmbH can be used for re-lubrication. If a
compressed air lubricator is used, the oil content of the compressed air
should be between 1 mg/m³ and 5 mg/m³.
