GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS 

 

The  compressor units use single-stage screw rotary air compressors with oil injection. 

The system is self-bearing and does not require bolts or other devices to anchor it to the floor. 

The unit is completely assembled in the factory; the necessary connections for setting it up are: 

 connection to the power mains (see installation chapter) 

 

 connection to the compressed air network (see installation chapter) 

 

2.0 INTENDED USE 

 

The compressor has been built to supply compressed air for industrial use. 

The machine cannot be used in premises where there is a risk of fire or explosion or where work is carried out which releases 

substances into the environment which are dangerous with regard to safety (for example: solvents, inflammable vapours, 

alcohol, etc.). 

In particular the appliance cannot be used to produce air to be breathed by humans or used on direct contact with foodstuffs.  These uses 

are allowed if the compressed air produced is filtered by means of a suitable filtering system (Consult the manufacturer for these special 

uses.) This appliance must be used only for the purpose for which it was specifically designed. 

All other uses are to be considered incorrect and therefore unreasonable. 

The Manufacturer cannot be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper, incorrect or unreasonable use. 

 

3.0  OPERATION 

3.1  OPERATION FOR COMPRESSOR 

The electric motor and the compressor unit are coupled by means of a gear transmission.   

The compressor unit takes in the outside air through the suction valve.  The air taken in is filtered the cartridge fitted upstream from the 

suction valve.  Inside the compressor unit, the air and the lubricating oil are compressed and sent to the oil separating tank where the oil is 

separated from the compressed air; the air is then filtered again by the oil separating cartridge to reduce the amount of suspended oil 

particles to a minimum.  At this point the two flows (of oil and air) are sent to two separate coolers where they are cooled, using a flow of air 

taken from the environment by a special fan inside the machine. 

The cooled oil returns to the circuit while the compressed air passes  the using network. 

 

3.2 OPERATION FOR DRYER  

Dryer operation is described below. The gaseous refrigerant coming from the evaporator (4) is sucked by the refrigeration compressor (1) 

and it is pumped into the condenser (2). This one allows its condensation, eventually with the help of the fan (3); the condensed refrigerant 

passes through the dewatering filter (8) and it expands through the capillary tube (7) and goes back to the evaporator where it produces the 

refrigerating effect. Due to the heat exchange with the compressed air which passes through the evaporator against the stream, the 

refrigerant evaporates and goes back to the compressor for a new cycle. The circuit is equipped with a bypass system for the refrigerant; 

this intervenes to adjust the available refrigerating capacity to the actual cooling load. This is achieved by injecting hot gas under the control 

of the valve (9): this valve keeps constant the pressure of the refrigerant in the evaporator and therefore also the dew point never decreases 

below 0 °C in order to prevent the condensate from freezing inside the evaporator. 

The drier runs completely automatically; it is calibrated in the factory for a dew point of  

5 °C and therefore no further calibrations are required.

4.0 GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS 

 

The appliance may be used only by specially trained and authorized personnel. 

Any tampering with the machine or alterations not approved beforehand by the Manufacturer relieve the latter of responsibility for any 

damage resulting from the above actions. 

The removal of or tampering with the safety devices constitutes a violation of the European Standards on safety. 

 

ENSURE THAT THERE ARE DISCONNECTOR SWITCH AND FUSES UPSTREAM THE MACHINE. FOR DETAILS (SIZE AND TYPE) 

SEE WIRING/SERVICE DIAGRAM. 

 

ALL WORK ON THE ELECTRIC PLANT, HOWERER SLIGHT, MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY  

 PROFESSIONALLY SKILLED PERSONEL.
