17.2 Routine Maintenance
1) LP Compressor Lubricant: Change Compressor Lubricant every 500 hours. Only use
lubricants rated for use with Nitrox, such as Nuvair 546. Never mix Compressor Lubricants.
See Section 17.3 and LP Compressor manual for details.
2) HP Compressor Lubricant: Change Compressor Lubricant every 100 hours or annually,
whichever comes first. Only use lubricants rated for use with Nitrox, such as Nuvair 455
TM
.
Never mix Compressor Lubricants. See Section 17.4 and HP Compressor manual for details.
3) LP Air Filtration Inspection: On a weekly basis, inspect each Filter Bowl for the presence of
moisture and each Element for any unusual degradation or wetness. See Section 17.5 for
details.
4) LP Air Filtration Elements: Change LP Filter Elements every 250 hours to maintain CGA Grade
D air standards. Visual liquid level and service life indicators assist with monitoring
replacement intervals. See Section 17.5 for details. If the Nitrox System is operated in high
humidity and/or high temperature, Filter Elements must be changed more often. See Appendix
for details on Filter Element Life Factors.
5) HP Compressor Filtration Element: Change HP Filter
Element every 60,000 cubic feet of air or Nitrox processing
to maintain CGA Grade E air standards. See Section 17.6
for details. If the Nitrox System is operated in high humidity
and/or high temperature the Filter Element must be changed
more often. See Appendix for details on Filter Element Life
Factors.
6) Condensate Drain Container: Check level and drain weekly
or as needed.
7) Semi-Permeable Membrane: No maintenance required.
Service life exceeds 20 years if LP Air Filtration is properly
serviced to maintain Grade D standards.
8) Membrane System Air Intake Filter: Inspect filter element
every 3 months for visible particles. Change every 12
months or sooner if particles are visible.
9) Oxygen Analyzers: Replace Oxygen Sensor and Battery as
required. See manual included with Nitrox System.
10) Air/Nitrox Quality Analysis: Take breathing air/Nitrox
samples quarterly for analysis to assure compliance with
CGA Grade E breathing air standards.
Do not swallow (ingest) either the electrolyte from the Oxygen Sensor or the Sensor itself.
The Potassium Hydroxide chemical contained in the Sensor can cause severe injury or death.
If electrolyte or the Sensor is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.
If after handling the oxygen analyzer or sensor, you find that your fingers or
other parts of your body feel “slippery” or the skin or eyes sting, immediately
flush affected area with clean, fresh water for at least 15 minutes. The stinging
or slippery sensation is an indication of a leaking Sensor. The Potassium
Hydroxide chemical contained in the sensor can cause severe injury or death. Seek
immediate medical attention if eye contact is made or skin stinging persists.
