1.1 Instruction
The oil-injected screw air compressor has the characteristics of reliable running
performance, few wearing parts, low vibration, low noise, and high efficiency. During the
compression process, the compressor continuously sprays lubricating oil into the compression
chamber and bearings by virtue of its own pressure difference. Lubricating oil has four main
functions:

Lubrication: Lubricating oil can form an oil film between the rotors, avoiding contact
•

between the rotors and reducing friction.

Sealing: The oil film produced by lubricating oil can seal the compressed air and
•

improve the volumetric efficiency of the compressor.

Cooling: Because the lubricating oil absorbs a large amount of compression heat, the
•

compression process is close to isothermal compression, which reduces the specific

power of the compressor.
Environmental protection: Lubricating oil can reduce the noise caused by high-
•

frequency compression.

1.2 Structure
The oil-injected screw compressor used by our company is a double-shaft positive
displacement rotary compressor. The air inlet opens at the upper end of the casing, and the
exhaust outlet opens at the lower part. A pair of high-precision main (male) and auxiliary
(female) rotors are installed horizontally and parallel to the inside of the casing. The main
(male) rotor has five shapes. The secondary (female) rotor has six shaped teeth. The diameter
of the main rotor is larger, and the diameter of the auxiliary rotor is smaller. The teeth form a
spiral shape and surround the outer edge of the rotor, and the two tooth shapes mesh with each
other. The two ends of the main rotor and the auxiliary rotor are respectively supported by
bearings, each of the intake ends has a roller bearing, and the exhaust end has two
symmetrically installed tapered roller bearings. The body is divided into two types, one is a
belt drive type, the other is a direct drive type. The direct drive system uses a coupling to
combine the motor power source with the main body, and then a set of high-precision speed-
increasing gears. Increase the speed of the main rotor. The belt drive type does not have a
speed-increasing gear, and two pulleys made in proportion to the speed drive the power
through the belt.

1.3 Principles of Air Compressing

First Step: Inhalation process

The suction port on the intake side of the screw type must be designed so that the compression
chamber can fully inhale, while the screw compressor does not have an intake and exhaust
valve group. The intake only depends on the opening and closing of a regulating valve. When
the rotor rotates, the tooth groove space of the main and auxiliary rotors has the largest space
when it is turned to the opening of the inlet end wall. Currently, the tooth groove space of the
rotor is the same as the free air at the inlet because the air in the tooth groove during exhaust
When the exhaust is exhausted, the tooth groove is in a vacuum state. When it is turned to the
air inlet, the outside air is sucked in and flows into the tooth groove of the main and auxiliary
rotors along the axial direction. When the air fills the entire tooth groove, the air inlet side end
surface of the rotor turns away from the air inlet of the casing, and the air between the tooth
grooves is closed. The above is [intake process].

Second Step: The process of sealing and conveying

When the main and auxiliary rotors are inhaled, the peaks of the main and auxiliary rotors are
sealed with the casing. At this time, the air is closed in the tooth groove and no longer flows
out, that is, [closed process]. The two rotors continue to rotate, the tooth crest and the tooth
groove coincide at the suction end, and the anastomotic surface gradually moves to the
exhaust end. This is the [transport process].

Third Step: Compression and fuel injection process

During the conveying process, the meshing surface gradually moves to the exhaust end, that
is, the tooth groove space between the meshing surface and the exhaust port gradually
decreases, the gas in the tooth groove is gradually compressed, and the pressure increases,
which is the [compression process]. At the same time of compression, the lubricating oil is
sprayed into the compression chamber and mixed with air due to the pressure difference.

Fourth Step: Exhaust process

When the meshing end surface of the rotor turns to communicate with the exhaust port of the
casing, (the pressure of the compressed gas is the highest at this time) the compressed gas
begins to be discharged until the meshing surface of the tooth peak and the tooth groove moves
to the exhaust end surface. The tooth groove space between the meshing surface of the rotor
and the exhaust port of the casing is zero, and the [exhaust process] is completed. At the same
time, the length of the tooth groove between the meshing surface of the rotor and the intake
port of the casing reaches the longest. The exhalation process is going on again.

2.2 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Do not modify the compressor or controls in any way except with factory approval. While not
specifically applicable to all types of compressors with all types of prime movers, most of the
precautionary statements contained herein are applicable to most compressors and the
concepts behind these statements are generally applicable to all compressors.

- 10 -
 Failure to follow any of these precautions may cause severe personal injury and
property loss.

2.3 PRESSURE
1. When remove the oil filter or unscrew the oil separator, you must turn off the screw
compressor until the pressure reach zero.
2. Before change pipes, valves, joints, as well as the related parts, you should eliminate
internal pressure.
3. Don’t change the pressure settings without authorization.
4. Don’t remove or change the safety valve.
5. Under any circumstances, don’t sit in the front of the compressed air outlet. It might cause

 Chapter 3: Preparation & Installation

3.1 COMPRESSOR MOUNTING, SUPPORT AND LOCATION

Compressor should be located on a flat surface in a clean and well-ventilated area. The location
must have sufficient access for maintenance equipment and lifting vehicle. Four feet (4’) of
clearance around the compressor is recommended for daily inspection and easy access to all
compressor components. The area must have sufficient lighting for technicians to safely operate
the compressor as well as perform maintenance work. The location should be free from standing
water.

The compressor’s base must be securely bolted to the floor with lag bolts. Rubber pad with 5 -
15mm thickness or pliable material should be placed under the bottom of the base if floor surface
is uneven or irregular. A stationary compressor will prevent accidents such as broken piping or
electrical connections. Do not over tighten the lag bolts because this may cause the frame to twist
or bind which could results in possible breakage of fluid coolers, piping, and the reservoir.

Brand new compressor has “Orange Color” shipping bracket installed under
aired assembly. Please remove the bracket after the unit is installed.
NOTICE!

Removal or paint over of safety labels will be a safety hazard. This could result in
personal injury or property damage. Warning signs and labels should be conspicuous
and on a bright legible surface. Do not remove any warning, caution or instructional
material attached with unit.

3.2 VENTILATION AND COOLING

Ambient temperature should not exceed 40°C (104°F). High ambient temperatures may
result in high air temperature shutdown.
 Do not install and operate compressor if the ambient temperature is below
5°C (41°F). Pre-heat option must be installed with the unit for lower ambient
NOTICE! temperatures.

The compressor air inlet must be in the opposite direction to other compressors or heat generating
equipment. The object is to avoid hot air being drawn into the system. Do not block the exhaust
air from cooler or fan. Hot exhaust air must be vented outside through a duct to prevent high
ambient room temperature. The compressor room must be properly ventilated to avoid compressor
high temperature shutdown.

Maintain clean & fresh air, dust free, metal particle free and chemical vapor
free in the compressor’s room. Housing the compressor within a poorly
ventilated enclosure will cause higher operating temperature.

Under no circumstances should a compressor be installed in an area exposed to

toxic, volatile, or corrosive atmosphere, nor should toxic, volatile, or corrosive
agents be stored near the compressor.

All models are intended for indoor installation; however, it is possible, with certain modifications,
to accommodate some outdoor locations. Models with standard enclosure are water-resistant but
not watertight. Shelter is needed to protect the unit from rain, snow, and freezing temperatures. An
optional weather hood or air grille could be installed to protect compressor against blowing rain
and snow as well as cabinet heater additions if ambient temperature will be below 5°C (41 F).

3.3 PIPING CONNECTION

Before installation, review the complete air systems layout, which includes compressor(s), receiver
tank, dryer(s), line filter(s), pipe size, water drain and isolator valves. Never join pipes or fittings
by soldering. Never use PVC pipe or non-genuine rubber hose in the air system. Use flexible
connections to prevent pipe load from being transmitted to the compressor. Never use a different
pipe size other than the manufacturer specification for the compressor unit.

- 15 -
A service line shut off valve must be installed after the compressor air outlet connection with a
pressure relief valve installed to release compressed air to the atmosphere. For a single compressor
and air receiver tank, manual shut off valves are typically being installed. A union connector must
be installed after the ball valve (quarter turn, shut off valve) at the compressed air outlet. This will
allow unit isolation for maintenance.

Release system pressure by opening manual pressure relief valve prior to

servicing. Failure to relieve system pressure could result in death or serious
injury and property damage.

The compressor after-cooler comes with an automatic condensate drain. The drain line should be
installed to remove the condensate during compressor operation.

A receiver tank should be installed if compressed air demands fluctuate. Service line piping is
recommended to be sized to match the compressor’s discharge connector. All piping & fittings
should be rated to withstand greater pressure than the discharge pressure. Isolation valves & drain
valves are installed to isolate the compressor when service is required. These valves should have
water drip legs with the drain direction facing downward to the floor. Piping should all line up
properly with an adequate loop radius or bend radius given for easy installation and to prevent
bending stress, flow restriction and damage due to thermal expansion. Piping support brackets
must be mounted independent of the compressor and motor. This will avoid damage caused by
vibration.

Pressure relief valves are sized to protect the system. Never change the pressure setting or tamper
with the valve. Only the valve manufacturer and their authorized representatives are allowed to
make such changes.

Pressure relief valves are used to protect system integrity in accordance with
safety standards. Failure to provide properly sized valves will result in death or
serious injury.

Pressure relief valves are installed prior to any potential blockage point such as shutoff valves,
heat exchangers and discharge silencers. Ideally, the valve should be threaded directly into the

- 16 -
pressure point it is sensing, not connected with tubing or pipe. Always direct discharge from relief
valves to a safe area away from personnel.

3.4 OIL MIRROR INSPECTION

Inspect the level of oil mirror when the compressor is in shutting down. Oil level is indicated on
the mirror of the oil separator. The maximum oil level is at the top red-mark. Add oil until it
reaches the top red-mark line. The minimum oil level is at the bottom red-mark, which means the
oil must reaches the bottom red-mark line in working mode.

3.5 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENT

Before installation, the electrical supply should be checked for adequate wire size and capacity.
User must comply with national & local electrical codes. The codes specify the surrounding
clearance requirement for the electrical panel. Wiring work should be undertaken only by a
qualified electrician in compliance with OSHA, national or local electrical code. SH compressor
provides wiring diagrams for user reference. Refer to the electrical control schematic in the parts
manual for wiring diagrams. Genuine fused disconnect switch or circuit breaker should be
purchased from the manufacturer. Any unreasonable voltage imbalance (5%) between phases must
be eliminated and low voltage problems must be corrected to prevent excessive current draw. Air
compressors must be grounded in accordance with applicable codes, regulations, and requirement.

Screw compressor would like to emphasize the importance of providing adequate

grounding for air compressors. The common practice of grounding units to a
building’s structural steel may not provide adequate grounding protection, as
paint and corrosion build-up may exist.

All electrical supply cables must be adequately sized to prevent overheating due
to current draw.

Enclosure panels and drive grille must be fastened in place before starting the
compressor and never removed before lock out / tag out of the main power
supply.

- 17 -
A starter hole is provided for an incoming power connection. If a different location for the starter
hole is needed, the certified technician must make sure to keep control box clean after the hole is
created. The original hole must be capped if another hole is used. Inspect incoming voltage to
match the compressor’s specification. Inspect motor starter and overload heater sizes. Check all
electrical connections L1-L2-L3 for tightness and cleanliness.

3.6 MOTOR ROTATION INSPECTION

Motor rotation must be checked after the wiring has been installed. Operating the compressor in
incorrect rotation will result in severe damage to the compressor and warranty coverage will be
voided. Motor rotation can be viewed through the opening in the drive grille. The drive motor end
of the compressor is marked with an arrow noting the proper rotation.

To inspect rotors rotation, pull out the “EMERGENCY STOP” button and press once, quickly
press the “START” and “STOP” button in sequence, allowing the motor to turn 2 or 3 revolutions.
Observe the drive shaft for correct direction. If reverse rotation is observed, disconnect the power
supply, reverse power input leads at the motor starter. Recheck for proper rotation.

3.7 FAN ROTATION INSPECTION

Fan motor rotation should be inspected. SH compressors use an axial fan for cooling. Fan rotation
is inspected through an arrow shaped observation hole above the fan motor. The fan must rotate in
the direction indicated by the arrow.

Always inspect fan rotation through the observation hole. Never assume the fan
rotation is correct based on the induced air flow across the coolers. A centrifugal
fan can pull the airflow across the coolers when rotating in either direction;
NOTICE! however, incorrect rotation will cause high discharge temperature.

- 18 -
 Chapter 4: Operation

4.1 ROUTINE OPERATION

Provisions should be made to have the instruction manual readily available to the
operator and maintenance personnel. If, for any reason, any parts of the manual
become illegible or if the manual is lost, have it replaced immediately. The
instruction manual should be read periodically to refresh one’s memory. This
may prevent a serious accident.

Before compressor start up, inspect fluid level in reservoir. After starting up, observe the control
panel screen for operation status. Ensure the compressor is running at its optimum level.

Close the service valve to plant air distribution system. Allow pressure to build up within the
reservoir until compressor fully unloads. Press the stop button.

Always close the service valve when compressor is not being used. It prevents
back pressure from the service line and avoids leakage due to check valve failure.

4.6 Control Principles (Refer to the Electric schematic circuit)

1) Local Automatic control

(ON/OFF mode: Beside Machine; Loading method: Automatic)
a) Press ‘I’ to start:（Y—△ Starting）
When the controller is powered on, it will perform a 3S self-checking. Press the ‘I’ button
cannot start the machine until the self-checking is completed. The starting process of the
host will be as the following: KM3 is powered on, KM2 is Powered on à Y type Starting
à Time Delay finish（Y—△ converting time）, KM3 loss power (KM1 and KM3
interlocked)，KM1 is powered on à Motor runs in △ type and the Starting is completed.
the load magnetic Valves are without power during the whole starting process to ensure
the load free starting.
b) Automatic Running Control:
When the motor is started to run in △ state and load the magnetic valve with power
applied after a certain period of delay. Then the air compressor will be applied with air
pressure to increase the pressure in the air tank. When the air pressure reaches the value
over the set unload pressure (unload pressure value), the loading magnetic valve will lose
power and the release magnetic valve is applied with power to run the air compressor with
load free. If in the specified time (load free running period) the air pressure turns to be
lower than the set load pressure (LOAD PRESSURE VALUE), the load magnetic valve
obtains power and the release magnetic valve losses power, the air compressor will apply
normal pressure to increase the pressure in the air tank. If the pressure in the air tank is not
drop down to the load pressure limit within the empty free running time, the controller
will automatically stop the running of the motor to perform the automatic stop of machine
- 28 -
 for over time empty free running. Only when the pressure drops to the load pressure limit,
the motor could restart according to the normal starting process, and it runs repeatedly in
this way.
c) Manual Load/unload at the automatic status
At the automatic status, the unit will stay in the unload state, press the button’s to load, if
the pressure is higher than the unload pressure, the load magnetic valve will inch once and
then return to the unload status; if the pressure is lower than the unload pressure, the load
magnetic valve will be applied with power and will not stop running and return to the unload
state until the air supply pressure becomes higher than the unload pressure. When the unit
is at the load state, press the button ‘S’ to unload. If the pressure is higher than the load
pressure, the load magnetic valve will loss the power and return to the load state till the air
supply pressure becomes lower than the load pressure. If the pressure is lower than the load
pressure, the unload function is disable.
d) Normal Stopping:
Press the button ‘ ’, the load magnetic valve will lose power and the unload magnetic
will be applied with power, after a while of delay (stop delay), the motor contactor will lose
power, the host and fan will stop running, after the restarting delay completed, the unload
magnetic will lose power. Only pressing the button ‘I’ could restart the motor.
e) Frequency starting to prevent control
The motor cannot be started immediately unless after a while of time delay after stopped
by pressing ‘ ’ button or stopped due to failure. Whenever the situation is, this controller
will display the remaining count down of the time delaying (such as 90s). The motor can
only be started when the time display is 0.

2) Remote Automatic Control (ON/OFF mode: Remote; Load mode: Automatic)

The remote automatic control is almost the same as the local automatic control; the only
difference is that the start and stop of the unit is controlled by remote control.
3) Local Manual Control (On/Off mode: beside machine; Load mode: Manual)
The Starting and stopping control is the same as the automatic control, the only difference
is that when the starting procedure finished in this mode, the machine is at the load free
state and will be loaded by pressing the button ‘S’. When the air supply pressure is higher
than the unload pressure, the unit will load automatically, if the button ‘S’ is not pressed to
load, the unit will be running at the load free state till load free stop. During the unload
process, press the button ‘S’ to load and during the process of loading, press the button ‘S’
to unload
4) Remote Manual Control (On/Off Mode: Remote; Load mode: Manual)
The remote automatic control is almost the same as the local manual control; the only
difference is that the start and stop of the unit is controlled by remote control.

4.7 Emergency stop

When there is any electronic failure or high air temperature failures occurred during the running
process, the controller would stop the motor immediately. The motor can only be restarted after
the failures are cleared. Any emergency occurred, please press down the emergency stop button to
cut off the power supply of the controller and contactor power.

 Chapter 5: Maintenance

5.1 LUBRICATING OIL GUIDE & CHANGE

Screw compressors are filled & tested with Total lubricant. Refer Figure in 1.2 for filler port, oil
mirror, quarter-turn valve location on the reservoir. The compressor is filled with the
manufacturer’s recommended quantity of Total fluid. Inspection of the reservoir fluid level
during installation or operation is recommended.

Screw compressor utilizes a pressurized fluid drain. Use the following procedure to drain and
replace the compressor fluid.
i) Press the emergency stop button and remove the right-side cabinet panel (if applicable).
ii) Check the pressure gauge reading on reservoir and wait until reservoir pressure drops to
approximately 0.05Mpa (7psi).
iii) Close the 1/4 turn valve on the blow-down valve.
iv) Remove the drain plug and attach the 1/4 NPT barb fitting and drain tube (supplied with
the unit) to the drain on the oil/air separator tank.
v) Slowly open the 1/4 turn valve on the drain of oil/air separator tank. The pressure remaining
in the tank will force the fluid out. When air begins to escape from the tank, close the valve.
vi) After closing the valve, remove the tubing and barb fitting and reinstall the drain plug.
vii) Remove the plug from the fluid fill port and refill the reservoir with the appropriate amount
of Total 4000 fluid.
viii) Before starting the compressor opens the 1/4 turn valve on the blow-down valve to ensure
the blow-down valve functions correctly.

The 1/4 turn valve on the blow-down valve MUST be open for the unit to
blow down during regular unit operation.
NOTICE

Do not use different fluid. Using different fluid will void compressor’s
warranty.

5.2 AIR FILTER

The standard air filter is a single stage, dry type element. Air filter maintenance should be
performed when the maintenance gauge shows red with the compressor running full load, or every
2,000 hours, or once a year, whichever comes first. Daily cleaning of the filter element is common

- 34 -
in dirty conditions. If dirty conditions exist, it is advisable to relocate the intake air to an outside
source. Each time the filter is serviced, inspect the filtered air side of the air cleaner canister and
the suction manifold for dirt. If dirt is found, determine the cause and correct. Always make sure
all gaskets, threaded connections, flange connections, and hose connections between the air filter
and air compressor-are airtight. Dirty filters result in reduced airflow and can distort the element
and allow dirt to bypass the filter element.

Intake filtration equipment supplied from the factory may not be adequate
for extremely dirty applications or some forms of dust or vapors. It is the
customer’s responsibility to provide adequate filtration for those
NOTICE
conditions. Warranty will be voided if inadequate filtration causes a failure.

5.3 OIL FILTER

The fluid filter is a spin on, full flow unit. Replacement of the filter requires spinning off the
cartridge and replacing it with a new one. The initial filter change should occur after the first 500
hours of operation. During normal service, the filter cartridge should be replaced under the
following conditions:

¨ As indicated by the fluid filter maintenance indicator when the fluid is at normal operating
temperature
¨ Every 2,000 hours

The fluid filter maintenance indicator may read high upon start up on cool
mornings due to sluggish fluid creating higher than normal differential
NOTICE pressures. Monitor indicator after the fluid warms up.

5.4 CORE OF AIR/OIL SEPARATOR

The core of air/oil separator is using coalescent filter element. Replacement requires unbolting
and lifting the separator cover and replacing it with a new one. The air/oil separator should be
replaced as indicated in the maintenance schedule or as follows:

¨ Change if oil leakage

¨ Every 2000 hours

- 35 -
5.5 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

This Schedule is intended to be used as a guideline only. Depending on the specific operating
conditions of screw air compressor, maintenance requirements may vary. The instructions in this
section will give more details about determining when specific service should be performed.
