Instruction Manual
W32- Series Medium-Vertical Compressors
Page I - 3.
Keep all parts of the body and any hand held tools or
other conductive objects away from exposed live parts
of the electrical system. Maintain dry footing, stand on
insulating surfaces, and do not contact any other
portion of the compressor when making adjustments
or repairs to exposed parts of the electrical system.
8. Lifting
The vertical configured compressors are provided with
slots in the base to accept the forks of standard pallet
jacks. Use this method to move the compressor
around.
If you must lift the compressor, lift in full compliance
with codes and regulations. Make sure entire lifting,
rigging and supporting structure has been inspected,
is in good condition, and has a rated capacity of at
least the wet weight of the compressor . If you are
unsure of the weight, check before lifting. Make sure
the lifting hook has a functional safety latch, and is
fully engaged on the sling(s).
Use guide ropes to prevent twisting or swinging of the
machine once it has been lifted off the ground. Keep
all persons clear from under and away from the
compressor when it is suspended.
Lift the compressor no higher than necessary. Keeps
lift operator in constant attendance whenever the
compressor suspended. Set the compressor down on
level surfaces, capable of carrying its full weight.
I – 4. General Information on W32 Series 3 Stage Compressors
1. General
The W32 Series compressors are
three stage,
reciprocating
type,
aircooled
,
pump lubricated
compressors.
The pressure range these compressor operate vary
depending on the cooling system and valve heads
installed and it ranges from 100 Bars (1500 psi) to 350
Bars (5080 psi). Do not attempt to modify a
compressor to operate at a higher-pressure
range without written approval of Alkin. Failure
to do so may result in heavy damage to equipment,
injury or death.
The compressor is built with oversize
intercoolers
and
an
aftercooler
to allow superior performance, longer
life and lower operating.
2. Desing
The compressor unit comprises the following major
assemblies:
•
Compressor block
•
Drive motor
•
Frame and housing assembly with instrument panel
•
Automatic condensate drain
•
Filling panel
•
Filter set
•
Elecritric control system
All units are equipped as standart as follows:
•
Filter system
•
Final pressure swich gage
•
Automatic condensate drain unit and condensate
collector tank
•
Instrument panel with all three-stage pressure
gauges, oil pressure gauge, final pressure switch
gauge and hourmeter.
Filling panel with two filling valves and filling hoses
with 200 bar filling adaptors.
3. Compressor block
The Compressor blocks are of a three stage, three
cylinders desing. The cylinders are arranged in a “W”
form, 1
st
stage in the centre, 2
nd
stages on right and 3
rd
stage on the left side lookingfrom the filter side.
The compressor blocks used in the Medium-Vertical
compressor units are particularly suitaple for
continuous operation because of their rugged design
and the corrosion resistant inter mediate filter and
cooler assemblies. Smoth is a particular feature of this
ALKIN design. The balans of masses of the 1
st
rank is
zero. The moving parts of the driving gear are all
equaly balanced. This retults in a vibration free
running.
The driving gear is fitted with three bearings. It is here
that the energy saving cylinder roller bearings are put
to use. The upper and lower connecting rod bearings
are also roller bearings. This allows for an even longer
life, which lasts at least 30,000 operating hours. All
valves have freee access for time saving maintenance.
There is no need for dismantling of pipes or pressure
gauges.
The compressor is built with oversize
intercoolers
and
an
aftercoolers
to allow superior performance, longer
life and lower operating.The W32 series compressors
are equipped with oversize stainless steel
intercoolers
between the 1
st
& 2
nd
and 2
nd
& 3
rd
stage cylinders
and stainless steel
aftercooler
downstream the 3
rd
