1.3.2 Function description without drying installation
The product consists of a piston compressor, a pressure tank and control gear with operating and safety elements.
Via the suction filter (8) Figure 1a atmospheric air is aspirated. This air is compressed by the piston in the cylinder.
The inlet or outlet valve shuts off flow in one direction, so the compressed air is made to lead via the pressure hose
(7) through the check valve integrated in the manifold into the pressure tank (2).
The compressor aggregate (1) supplies compressed air until the set shut-off pressure of 7 bar is indicated in the
pressure switch (3) before switching off. The tank pressure is indicated by the pressure gauge (9). Pressure is re-
leased in the pressure hose by the integrated relief valve.
If compressed air is taken out by user, the tank pressure reduces. On reaching the switch-on pressure, the product
is automatically switched on again via the pressure switch. A safety valve (10) prevents the maximum permitted
tank pressure being exceeded
