Check Operation 

– Setup & Performance Testing of Diesel Driven Compressor. 

 

The  compressor  is  dispatched  from  the  factory  with  the  pressure  pre-set  to  the  customer 
specification. Should the customer want to alter this setting, the instruction on how to do this can 
be found in the compressor manual. 

Install the ball valve on the outlet of the hose from the compressor. Set the ball valve to the closed 
position. 

Refer to Pages 7 and 8 of this manuals for the method to be used to start the compressor. 

On  starting  and  running,  the  air  pressure  will  be  found  to  be  at  the  pressure  specified  by  the 
customer and the engine will be at the lower speed (idle speed). The Unit has been adjusted by the 
factory to the customer specification. If the pressure is not at the specified pressure, refer to MEA 
before attempting any adjustments. 

Listen for leaks in the air line. You should hear a hissing sound if there are any leaks. Rectify any 
leaks you may find. 

Keep  the  system  running  at  the  pre-set  pressure  until  the  compressor  is  up  to  operating 
temperature. 

Using the ball valve located on the outlet of the compressor, slowly open the ball valve, and watch 
the  pressure  drop.  The  pressure  will  drop  up  to  the  point  that  the  pressure  is  20  PSI  below  the 
setting detailed in 1 above. The engine will speed up to the maximum pre-set RPM. 

Keep the opening of the ball valve at the setting described in (7) above for about 5 minutes. The 
engine should continue to run at the maximum pre-set RPM. 

Slowly close the ball valve and watch the pressure while closing. The engine will drop to the lower 
speed when the pressure described in (1) above is reached. 

10  Your compressor is working correctly if it is operating as per this description
