6.7 Thermostatic Valve
The thermostatic valve is a non-adjustable temperature control valve. On the compressor we
use this valve to mix hot and cold oil. It will begin to open at 127
o
F and be full open at
131
o
F. This insures that the system temperature is above the pressure condensation point and
there is minimal accumulation of water.
Recommended service interval of 8,000 hrs for SE20-SE30 Part # (1486312)
Recommended service interval of 8,000 hrs for SE40-SE50 Part # (1486313)
To repair this valve:
1.
Switch off the unit, disconnect the power, and lockout and tag to prevent accidental
starting.
2.
Place a spill pan under the valve/filter assembly.
3.
Make sure that all pressure is relieved from the system. Loosening the fill cap is an easy
way to insure that the pressure is totally relieved.
4.
Remove the retaining cap from the valve block.
5.
Remove the cap and the internal parts. Take care to note the orientation of the spring,
piston, and element.
6.
Reassemble with the renewal parts.
7.
Replace any volume of oil lost with fresh oil. Also replace the fill cap, if this was used to
insure relief of the system pressure.
8.
Return unit to service.
6.8 Minimum Pressure Valve
The minimum pressure valve is a non-adjustable spring biased check valve. It has been
designed to maintain a minimum sump pressure of 50 psig. If the pressure is allowed to get
too low, the oil carryover rate will increase and the separator could be damaged.
Air exiting the vent hole in the cap of the valve indicates an o-ring failure and it needs to be
replaced. The air leaking into the spring cavity where the vent is located will change the
operation of the valve.
Recommended service interval of 8,000 hrs for SE20-SE30 Part # (1486316)
Recommended service interval of 8,000 hrs for SE40-SE50 Part # (1486317)
To repair this valve:
1.
Switch off the unit, disconnect the power, and lockout and tag to prevent accidental
starting.
2.
Place a spill pan under the valve.
3.
Make sure that all pressure is relieved from the system. Loosening the fill cap is an easy
way to insure that the pressure is totally relieved.
4.
Remove the cap at the top of the valve. It is spring loaded so be careful that it does not
fly off.
