The oil-injected screw air compressor is the current trend of air compressor
development due to its excellent and reliable performance. The advantages include small
vibration, low noise, high efficiency and no easily damageable parts, which the
characteristics piston compressor (same discharge pressure) does not have. The precise
matching between female /male rotors, and between rotors / compressor casing reduces
air circumfluence leakage and enhances efficiency. There is only mesh between rotors
and no reciprocal movement of cylinders, thus reducing vibration and noise sources. The
1. The oil is constantly injected into the compression chamber and bearing due to the
pressure differential generated by the compressor itself, thus simplifying the complex
machinery.
2. The injected oil can form an oil film between rotors. The male rotor can drive the
female rotor directly, without the aid of high precision synchronous gears.
5. Lubrication oil can absorb large amounts of compression heat. Therefore, discharge
temperature will not become too high even if the single-stage compression ratio is up
to 16. Rotors will not rub the casing for having different heat expansion coefficients.
1. Basic Structure
compressor. The suction port is located at the upper part of casing, and discharge
port is located at its lower part. A pair of high precision male and female rotors is
horizontally and installed parallel inside the casing. The male rotor is larger than
that of the female rotor. The gear profile is made in screw type so that two rotors
can mesh with each other. The ends of male and female rotors are positioned by
bearing supports.
2. Mesh
Electrical motor directly drives male rotor through coupling. Since two rotors can
perfectly mesh with each other, the male rotor will drive the female rotor to rotate
together. From the lower portion of compressor casing, cooling lubricant oil is
directly injected into the meshed part between rotors via nozzle and then mixed
with air. It takes away the heat produced during compression process to achieve
cooling. At the same time, it from an oil film to prevent metal rotors from direct
contact and to seal the clearance between rotors and casing. The injected oil also
1. Suction Process
When rotors are rotating, the groove space between male and female rotors reaches
maximum when rotors rotate to the wall opening of the suction end. At this moment,
the groove space of rotors is connected with the free air at suction port. Outside air is
drawn into the enclosed chamber formed between female, male rotors and casing.
The suction and surface of rotors will rotate away from suction port after the groove is
completely filled with air, and the air in the groove is enclosed. This is referred to as
“suction process”.
At the end of suction, the addendum of two rotors will close together with casing to
keep the air inside the groove from escaping. This is referred to as “seal process”. As
the two rotors continue rotating, the addendum and groove will mesh at the suction
end. Then the meshed surface gradually moves toward discharge end. This is
“delivery process”.
During delivery process, meshed surface gradually moves toward discharge end. The
enclosed space between the teeth of the female and male rotors is reduced gradually.
The air in the groove will be compressed and the pressure increases. This is
4. Discharge process
When the enclosed space between female and male rotors rotates and connects with
discharge port of the casing (compressed air reaches the maximum pressure at this
point), compressed air begins to discharge. This will not stop until the groove space is
reduced to zero. Then the “discharge process” is finished. Meanwhile, another pair of
rotor teeth rotates to the suction end to form maximum space, thus starting suction
Users typically ignore the selection of installation site for air compressor. An air
compressor is often erected at a convenient place after procurement and then used
immediately after finishing piping work. Such a careless installation will result in air
compressor failure, service difficulties and bad quality of compressed air. Therefore, a
good installation site is the prerequisite for correct air compressor system application.
2. Low relative humidity, low dust, clean air and good ventilation.
Also, the higher the ambient temperature, the less the air output of compressor
will be. In addition, ambient temperature must be above 5℃, over the solidifying
ventilation pipe to move suction end toward places with cleaner air. Or install
compressor system.
5. Reserve enough space around air compressor for parts entry during servicing
and repairing. The distance from the sides and the top of air compressor to wall
6. Reserve passage space and install a crane (especially for high-power air
equipment based on direction of outside wind. Its air suction quantity must be
larger than the air quantity of compressor circulating fan or cooling fan. There
should be enough area for entrance of cooling air. It is also possible to install a
wind guide at the discharge fan outlet on top of air compressor, to draw hot air
discharged by air compressor away from air pipe, thus maintaining a room
temperature of 5~46℃.
When using air discharge pipe, reserve space for adjustable canvas joint used for
maintenance (e.g., there will be enough space to dismount cover and other parts from
(1) During main line piping construction, the line should have 1-2 degree of slope to
(2) The pressure drop in piping line should not exceed 5% of designed pressure of
(3) Branch line must be connected to the top of main line to prevent condensed water
inside the piping from flowing down to operating machine or back to the
compressor. Check valve should be installed in the air outlet line of compressor.
(4) When installing several air compressors in parallel, install ball valve or automatic
water discharge valve at the end of main line for the automatic discharge of
condensed water.
(5) Do not arbitrarily reduce the size of the main line. Use pipe reducer when it is
necessary to reduce or enlarge line size. Otherwise turbulent flow will occur at
joints and cause significant pressure loss, as well as have a serious influence
(6) If there are purification and butter facilities such as drier or air tank after the
compressor, the ideal piping arrangement is: air compressor + air tank + drier. In
this way, the air tank can filter out part of the condensed water and decrease the
air discharge temperature. Air with lower temperature and less moisture enters

(8) If the system air pressure is under 1.5Mpa, the flow rate in the delivery pipe
(9) Try not to use elbows and various valves in the line to minimize pressure loss.
(10) The ideal piping construction is to let the main line surround the whole plant.
Thus compressed air in two directions can be obtained at any location. This can
decrease the pressure drop when air consumption goes up abruptly in certain
branch lines. Also install suitable valves in circular main line for service and
repairing.
2. Foundation
(1) Foundation should be built on solid ground. The foundation surface must be ground
level before installation to prevent air compressor from vibration and thus large
noise.
(2) Should the air compressor be installed upstairs, oscillation prevention must be
resonance that could lead to safety hazards for the compressor and building.
3. Cooling System
(1) Cooling water for water-cooled type air compressor must meet the requirements for
caused by high temperatures. The chemical reactions could result in water scaling
is used, softener must be added periodically into water to keep its cleanliness.
(3) It is best to use the cooling water system of compressors individually, avoiding
sharing with other systems. This could prevent impacts on the cooling effect due to
insufficient water.
(4) Cooling water tower must meet the specified water quantity for compressor. The
power of water pump must be correctly chosen. The location of cooling water tower
must facilitate the heat dissipation, with good ventilation and solid support to prevent
leaning.
(5) The pressure of cooling water is generally maintained between 0.15-0.25MPa, and
inside enclosed space with poor ventilation, in order to prevent tripping caused by a
air suction and discharge equipments must be installed to facilitate air circulation.
Generally speaking, the individual air quantity ventilated must be larger than the

7. If three-phase current is not balances, the different between the lowest phase
current and the highest phase current should not exceed 5%. If there is a voltage
drop of the power source, it should not be lower than 5% of rated voltage.

System Flow
Ⅰ. Air system flow (refer to system flow charts of each model)
1. After dust particles are filtered by the filter, air enters compression chamber through
air inlet valve and is compressed. It then mixed with lubricant oil. Compressed oil-air
mixture is discharged into oil air tank, and then passes through oil fine separator,
pressure maintaining valve and rear cooler. Then it passes water separator and is
sent into system for utilization.
2. Function description of parts in the air line
(1) Air Filter
Air filter is a dry type paper filter. Its main function is to remove the dust in the air.
Normally it should be taken out to clean every 1,000 hours. The cleaning method is to
use low-pressure air to blow it outwardly. There is a pressure differential switch
installed inside the air filter. When air filter pressure differential increases and reaches
the set value of pressure differential switch, the pressure differential switch operates.
If the air filter pressure differential lamp lights up, it indicates that the filter needs to be
replaced or cleaned, although the compressor can still operate.
Warning
Since the increase of pressure differential will lead to the reduction of air inlet
quantity, it is suggested to clean or replace the air filter.
(2) Air inlet valve
When compressor starts, the valve element of air inlet valve closes to ensure the
load-free starting. When air compressor operates under heavy load, the valve opens,
so that compressor can operate under heavy load.
If the system air consumption reduces, the pressure rise, air inlet valve element is fully
closed. Meanwhile, the pressure within the air compressor system is vented through
purge valve. The air-end is idly operating. When system pressure reduces and
becomes lower than set value, the pressure switch operates again, thus resume
heavy load operation.
When OFF key is pressed to turn off the compressor, the air-end will continue turning
for 15 seconds until load released, and then the machine will be turned off.
(3) Temperature switch with indicator
During loss of water, oil, and insufficient amount of water, the temperature of
discharged air may become too high. When discharge temperature reaches the set
value of temperature switch (100℃), the temperature switch operates and stops the
compressor. Head discharge temperature can be read from the display panel of the
temperature switch.
(4) Expansion Joint
Eliminate the inner stress of pipes caused by heat expansion and the vibration of the
unit.
(5) Oil air tank
Oil sight is installed on the tank of oil air tank. The oil level of static lubricant oil should
be between the high and low oil levels of oil sight. An oil drain valve is installed at the
bottom of the tank. Open the oil drain valve a little bit each time before starting up to
drain the condensed water deposited in the oil air tank. A 1” oil-filling port is on the
bank for oil filling. Due to the wide cross sectional area of the oil tank, the compressed
air can reduce the flow rate of screw oil and cause oil drops to separate. This is the
first stage of oil separation.
(6) Oil fine separator
Refer to the following section for more detail.
(7) Safety valve
The safety valve will automatically open when the pressure switch is improperly
adjusted or not functioning, which leads to the internal pressure of oil air tank higher
than set discharge pressure by over 0.1MPa, to reduce the pressure so it is below the
set discharge pressure. Safety valve has been adjusted before delivery. Please do not
adjust it improperly.
(8) Relief solenoid valve
Relief solenoid valve is a two-way N.O. solenoid valve. It will open when unit is shut
down or under zero load to release internal pressure of the bank. This will ensure that
compressor can start or turn under zero load when it is operated again.
(9) Pressure maintaining valve
It is located at the outlet of oil fine separator above the oil air tank. The opening
pressure is set at ~0.45MPa. The function of pressure maintaining valve includes:
A. Give priority to the establishment of circulating pressure needed by lubricant oil
when starting, thus ensuring the lubrication of machine.
B. Open only when the pressure exceeds 0.45MPa. Reduce the airflow rate through
oil fine separator. Besides ensuring the effect of oil fine separation, this can also
protect the oil fine separator, preventing it from being damaged by large pressure
differential.
(10) Rear cooler
A. For air-cooled type cooler, cooling air is drawn in by cooler fan passes through
cooler to cool the compressed air. Air-cooled type air compressor is sensitive to
ambient temperature condition. Pay attention to the ventilation condition when
selecting the installation location.
B. For water-cooled type, pipe-shell type cooler is used. Cooling water is used for
cooling compressed air. Water-cooled type compressor is relatively insensitive to
ambient temperature, and its discharge temperature can be easily controlled. If
the quality of cooling water is too poor, scaling can be generated and causing
clogging. Therefore it must be handled carefully. If the pH of water is low (high
acidity), special copper material must be used to avoid corrosion.
(11) Water separator
It is cyclone separation type water separator. It can remove the condensed water, oil
drop and foreign matter after the cooling of air. After passing through water separator,
the compressed air can be sent directly to any place where it is needed.
(12) Automatic water drainer
It can automatically drain the condensed water deposited inside the water separator.
Ⅱ. Lubricant oil flow (refer to system flow charts of each model)
1. Description of oil injection flow
The pressure in oil air tank forces lubricant oil into cooler. After the lubricant oil is
cooled in the cooler, it passes through oil filter to remove impurity particles. Then it is
divided into two branches. One is injected into compression chamber from the bottom
of machine body to cool compressed air. The other is sent to the two ends of machine
body to lubricate bearing sets. Then lubricant oil from all parts is gathered at the
bottom of compression chamber to be discharged along with compressed air. The
compressed air mixed with oil enters the oil air tank where a large portion of the oil is
separated. The remaining air containing oil mist passes through oil fine separator to
filter out the remaining oil. Then it passes through the pressure-maintaining valve and
enters the air discharge check valve, and is cooled by rear cooler. Then it can be sent
to the systems where it is used.
2. Volume control of oil injection
The injected oil in oil-injection screw type compressor is used for removing the heat
generated during the air compression process. The injection volume has a direct
influence over the performance of the compressor. The injection volume has been set
before delivery so should not be changed. If it needs adjustment due to discharge
temperature or other reasons, please contact Fu Sheng service department in
advance to avoid damage to the compressor.
3. Description of the functions for oil line parts
(1) Oil cooler
The cooling method of oil cooler is the same as that of the air rear cooler, with
air-cooled and water-cooler types. For poor ambient conditions, the fins of air-cooled
type cooler can be easily covered by dust and this will influence the cooling effect,
causing high discharge temperature and tripping. Therefore, after a certain period,
use low-pressure compressed air to blow the dust off the fin surface. If blowing air
cannot clean it, then solvent must be used. Keep the cleanliness of the
heat-dissipation surface of cooler. If pips-shell type cooler is clogged, it must be
immersed in special reagent solution, and the scaling inside the pipe must be cleaned
with mechanical means. Be sure to completely clean it.
(2) Oil filter
The oil filter is a paper filter. Its function is to remove the impurities in the oil, such as
metal particles, oil degradation, etc. The resolution is between 10-15 microns. It can
provide complete protection to bearings and rotors. Use the pressure differential
indicator to judge whether the oil filter should be replaced. If the indicator lights up, it
means that the oil filter is clogged and must be replaced. For the first-time operation of
new compressor, oil and oil filter must be replaced after 500 hours of operation.
Afterwards, it should be replaced whenever the indicator lights up. If the oil filter is not
replaced at large pressure differential, it can lead to insufficient volume of injected oil,
causing high discharge temperature and tripping. Insufficient oil volume also affects
the life of bearings.
(3) Oil fine separator
The filter element of oil fine separator is made of multi-layer fine glass fiber. The misty
oil air contained in compressed air will be almost completely removed (below 3 ppm)
after passing through oil fine separator. Under normal operation, the quality of
lubricant oil and the pollution condition of surrounding environment have large
influence over its life. If the environment is heavily polluted, it is suggested to add a
pre-air filter. Fu Sheng special screw oil must be chosen as the lubricant oil. Safety
valve, relief valve and pressure maintaining valve are installed at the outlet of oil fine
separator. The compressed air exits here and is sent to rear cooler.
The oil filtered by oil fine separator is gathered in the small circular grove in the center,
then flows back to the bearing end of machine body through oil return pipe.
This can prevent the filtered lubricant oil from being discharged along with air.
Generally, the following methods can be used to judge whether the oil fine separator is
damaged:
a) Increased oil content in the airline.
b) There is an oil fine separator pressure differential switch between the oil air tank
and oil fine separator. Its set pressure differential value is 0.15MPa. When the
pressure differential across oil fine separator exceeds the set value, the indicator
illuminates and indicating clogging in the oil fine separator. The oil fine separator
should be replaced immediately.
c) Check the oil pressure to see if it is too high.
d) Check the current to see if it is increasing.
(4) Heat control valve
There is a heat control at the front end of oil cooler. Its function is to maintain the
discharge temperature so that it is over the pressure dew point temperature. When the
compressor is just started, the temperature of lubricant oil is low. Then the heat control
valve will automatically open the oil return loop so that the oil flows into machinery
body without passing through oil cooler. If the temperature of oil rises above 67℃, the
valve will open gradually and becomes fully open at 72℃. Then all the oil will pass
through oil cooler before entering machine body.
Ⅲ. Cooling system
1. Air-cooled type
Cool air is drawn by a circulating fan, and passes through the heat-dissipation fins of
cooler. It exchanges heat with compressed air and lubricant oil to achieve cooling
effect. The maximum allowable ambient temperature of this cooling system is 46℃. If
the ambient temperature exceeds 46℃ (e.g., located beside boiler, etc.), the system
could trip due to high temperature.
2. Water-cooled type
The designed benchmark of cooling water temperature is 32℃. Pay attention to this
when designing cooling water recycling system. In particular, the quality of cooling
water must meet or exceed general standard for industrial water. If the water quality is
poor, softener must be added periodically into cooling water tower to maintain the
cleanliness of water. This will avoid the influences on cooler’s efficiency and life. For
areas where it is normally below freezing pint during winter, the cooling water in the
cooler must be completely drained after stopping the unit.
4. Alarm devices
There are three types of alarm devices in the system: air filter clogging, oil filter
clogging and oil fine separator clogging. Theirs indicators are all located on the
instrument panel. When indicator illuminate, certain filter is clogged. Otherwise the
compressor performance and operational safety will be jeopardized.
load operation. If the time of zero load operation exceeds the set value, the
compressor will automatically shut down and the motor will stop. When the air
consumption of the system increases, the system pressure will decrease. Then the air
compressor will automatically start to replenish air. Time setting for zero load shut
down should be that the motor starting frequency per hour will not exceed three times.
Use can decide the time setting based on actual usage condition. Do not start motor
too often as this may burn the motor.
2 Electrical circuit
Electrical control of the compressor can be divided into two systems. One is the
internal control system and the other is the starter panel. Starter panel is a
Y-△starting control used for general machinery. The controller portion is electronic
control. Due to the complicated internal wiring and control of the electronic controller, it
will not be explained in detail in this chapter. If any damage or malfunction occurs,
please contact directly with service departments of Fu Sheng and replace the electronic
circuit board.
3. Control panel
(1) Control panel
The function of control panel is to display the operational status of compressor.
Daily servicing of the compressor is important for its normal operation and efficiency
(more important than repairing). Perform inspection and servicing of the compressor
according to the timer on the control panel.
b. Fault clearance
When “high discharge temperature’’ or “electrical malfunction” occurs, use the
emergency stop key on instrument panel for resetting.
If “electrical malfunction” occurs, the overload-reset key on overload contactor must
also be pressed.
Operation
Ⅰ. Pilot running
1. Connect power cord and grounding wire. Test main voltage and check the balance
of three-phase voltages.
2. Loosen the transport fixation on the anti-vibration table of the base.
Attention
When moving the machine, fasten the transport fixation bolts again to prevent
damage of anti-vibration pads by learning or shock, or the displacement of
anti-vibration pad.
3. Confirm that the oil level in the oil tank is between the two red marks of the oil
sight.
4. If pilot running is performed long after delivery, add ~0.5 liters of lubricant oil from
the air inlet valve. Then manually turn the air compressor several times to avoid
damage of compressor caused by oil loss during starting. In particular, prevent any
foreign matter from failing into compressor or it could be damaged.
Attention
Do not power the compressor at this moment.
5. Power the compressor control panel.
Attention
If the phases of power supply are mismatched, the electrical malfunction
indicator will light up.
6. Turning test: Press ON key, the compressor will rotate. Immediately press
Emergency Stop Key to verify the rotation direction of compressor. For correct
direction, refer to the arrow on compressor body. If the direction is wrong,
exchange fan should also be checked.
Attention
Switch off power supply when dealing with electrical equipment. Operation
with power supply on is strictly forbidden.
Although compressor has been tested during manufacturing, the turning
test is still an important step for pilot running.
Attention
Inverse-phase protection is for detecting the phase of power supply, Turning
test must be replaced after motor maintenance.
7. Starting: Phase ON key to start compressor
Attention
The compressor is of the fully automatic type. Air inlet valve will work at 8
seconds after normal starting.
8. Check display instruments and indicators. If there is any abnormal noise,
Attention
When OFF key is pressed, the relief valve of the compressor will discharge
and unload, and the inner relay will start timing. The motor will stop after about 15
seconds.
Attention
Please do not use Emergency Stop Key for stopping the compressor under normal
circumstances.
Ⅱ. Daily inspection before starting
The daily inspection before starting is the necessary work for the normal operation of
compressor and should be performed carefully.
1. Water drainage of oil air tank: slightly open the water drainage valve of oil air tank and
water separator to discharge the condensed water formed during machine stop until
there is lubricant oil in the water, then the valve should be closed immediately.
Attention
Before opening the water drainage valve of oil tank, be sure to confirm that there
is no pressure inside the oil air tank.
2. Check the oil level: Add oil so that the level is in the middle of the upper and lower
limits of oil sight when necessary.
Attention
Please use Fu Sheng Screw Oil. Do not mix with lubricant oil of other brands or
from other manufacturer.
Confirm that there is no pressure inside the system when adding lubricant oil.
Observe the oil level 10 minutes after stopping the compressor. The oil level during
operation may be slightly lower than the level when the compressor is stopped.
3. Preparation of peripheral equipment: Turn on power supply, cooling water tower, water
pump, open outlet valve of compressor, run the compressed air drier.
4. Start the compressor.
Ⅲ. Cautions during operation
1. Stop the compressor immediately if there is any abnormal noise or vibration.
2. There is pressure in both the piping and the container during operation. Do not loosen
the blot plug of pipeline. Do not unnecessarily open any valve.
3. If oil level does not show up on oil sight during long-term operation, and the oil
temperature rises gradually, immediately stop the compressor. Observe the oil level
after 10 minutes. If the oil is insufficient, wait until there is no pressure inside the
system and then add more lubricant oil.
4. The condensed water in the rear cooler and cyclone separator will be automatically
drained, but the outlet valve needs to be open, otherwise the water will enter the
system.
5. Check instrument and record voltage, current, air pressure, discharge temperature, oil
level, etc. every 2 hours during operation for future reference.
Ⅳ. Handling method for long-term shut down
During long-term shut down, carry out the following procedures carefully, especially
for high humidity season or area.
1. Shut down for over 3 weeks
(1) Wrap the motor control panel and other electrical equipments with plastic or oil
paper to avoid moisture.
(2) Completely drain the water in the oil cooler and rear cooler.
(3) Repair any malfunction to facilitate future use.
(4) Drain the condensed water in oil tank, oil cooler and rear cooler after several
days.
2. Shut down for over 2 months
In addition to the above procedures, carry out the following treatment:
(1) Seal all openings to avoid moisture and dust.
(2) Wrap safety valve, control panel, etc. with oilpaper or similar material to prevent
rusting.
(3) Replace lubricant oil before stopping usage and run for 30 minutes. Drain the
condensed water in oil tank and oil cooler after 2~3 days.
(4) Completely drain cooling water.
(5) Whenever possible, move compressor to dry and less dusty place.
3. Procedure of re-starting
a) Unwrap the plastic or oilpaper.
b) Measure the insulation of motor. It should be over 1M ohms.
c) Other procedures are the same as the pilot running.
Please Use
Advanced cooling fluid for Fu Sheng Screw
Air Compressor
Don't use
The use of or mixing with lubricant oils of
other brands is strictly forbidden.
(2) Do not extend the usage of lubricant oil beyond its life. Oil should be
replaced in time; otherwise, the quality of oil will degrade and cause bad
lubricity. This can easily lead to high-temperature tripping and carbon
deposition. The flammable point of oil will also decrease, causing
self-ignition and burning of air compressor.
(3) After 2 years of compressor usage,it is better to perform a “systematic
cleaning” with lubricant oil. The method is: when replacing with new lubricant
oil, run the air compressor for 6-8 hours, then change lubricant oil immediately,
so that various organic material remained in the system can be completely
cleaned. Then the newly replaced lubricant oil can last longer.
5. The correct lubrication and cleaning procedure can
(1) Completely and timely remove the dirt deposited in the lubrication system
(2) Ensure reasonable and sufficient lubrication for the air compressor
(3) Ensure the long-term stable operation of the unit
(4) Avoid or reduce accidental shut down
(5) Reduce the consumption of spare parts
(6) Enhance production efficiency, bringing benefits to our customer
6. For the cleaning procedure of the upgraded special oil for Fu Sheng screw type
air compressor, we have the following suggestions:
(1) Start compressor, run for l hour under normal temperature
(2) Shut down the compressor
(3) Immediately drain oil from oil tank, pipeline, oil filter, oil cooler and water
separator
(4) Replace the filter element of compressor oil filter
(5) Add special oil for Fu Sheng screw air compressor till 50-60%of the oil tank.
(6) Start compressor, run for l hour under normal operating temperature. During
this period, open and close air discharge valve every 15 minutes, so that the
compressor works alternately under full=load and zero-load conditions. Rising
bubble will be seen inside the air tank and it will rise until above the oil sight.
The color of oil sight will change from milky white to relatively clear.
(7) Pay attention to the pressure differential across the lubricant oil filter. If it
exceeds 0.15MPa, the filter element should be replaced.
(8) Shut down the compressor
(9) As the oil is still warm, drain oil from oil tank, pipeline, oil filter, compressor, oil
cooler and water separator. Replace oil filter element. Clean oil return filter net.
Check if there is any oil transition when the air is drawn into filter element. If
yes, replace filter element. If necessary, dismantle part of the pipeline to
completely drain the lubricant oil remaining at the lower positions (if the
cleanliness of the system is not ideal, then repeat step 4-6).
(10) Add special oil for Fu Sheng screw air compressor until specified oil level.
(11) Restart compressor. Check oil level and working temperature. When
compressor is functioning normally, the oil level should be above the
centerline of the oil sight.
(12) After the compressor has been stopped, it may take 2 minutes for the bubbles
Attention
Prevent unclean items from falling into oil tank when replacing oil fine separator,
thus maintaining the normal operation of air compressor.
5. Lubricant oil
First time oil change should be performed after about 500 hours of compressor
operation. Then every 3000-4000 hours afterwards (discharge temperature between 80
to 90℃). If environment is poor and discharge temperature is higher, the interval should
be shortened.
