Safety precautions for portable compressors

INTRODUCTION

The policy of Atlas Copco is to provide the users oftheir equipment with safe, reliable and efficientproducts. Factors taken into account are amongothers:- the intended and predictable future use of the

products, and the environments in which they areexpected to operate,

- applicable rules, codes and regulations,- the expected useful product life, assuming proper

service and maintenance,- providing the manual with up-to-date

information.Before handling any product, take time to read therelevant instruction manual. Besides giving detailedoperating instructions, it also gives specificinformation about safety, preventive maintenance,etc.Keep the manual always at the unit location, easyaccessible to the operating personnel.See also the safety precautions of the engine andpossible other equipment, which are separately sentalong or are mentioned on the equipment or parts ofthe unit.These safety precautions are general and somestatements will therefore not always apply to aparticular unit.Only people that have the right skills should beallowed to operate, adjust, perform maintenance orrepair on Atlas Copco equipment.

It is the responsibility of management to appointoperators with the appropriate training and skill foreach category of job.Skill level 1: OperatorAn operator is trained in all aspects of operating theunit with the push-buttons, and is trained to know thesafety aspects.Skill level 2: Mechanical technicianA mechanical technician is trained to operate the unitthe same as the operator. In addition, the mechanicaltechnician is also trained to perform maintenance andrepair, as described in the instruction manual, and isallowed to change settings of the control and safetysystem. A mechanical technician does not work onlive electrical components.Skill level 3: Electrical technicianAn electrical technician is trained and has the samequalifications as both the operator and the mechanicaltechnician. In addition, the electrical technician maycarry out electrical repairs within the variousenclosures of the unit. This includes work on liveelectrical components.Skill level 4: Specialist from the manufacturerThis is a skilled specialist sent by the manufacturer orits agent to perform complex repairs or modificationsto the equipment.In general it is recommended that not more than twopeople operate the unit, more operators could lead tounsafe operating conditions.

Take necessary steps to keep unauthorized personsaway from the unit and eliminate all possible sourcesof danger at the unit.When handling, operating, overhauling and/orperforming maintenance or repair on Atlas Copcoequipment, the mechanics are expected to use safeengineering practices and to observe all relevant localsafety requirements and ordinances. The followinglist is a reminder of special safety directives andprecautions mainly applicable to Atlas Copcoequipment.These safety precautions apply to machineryprocessing or consuming air. Processing of any othergas requires additional safety precautions typical tothe application and are not included herein.Neglecting the safety precautions may endangerpeople as well as environment and machinery:- endanger people due to electrical, mechanical or

chemical influences,- endanger the environment due to leakage of oil,

solvents or other substances,- endanger the machinery due to function failures.All responsibility for any damage or injury resultingfrom neglecting these precautions or by non-observance of ordinary caution and due care requiredin handling, operating, maintenance or repair, also ifnot expressly mentioned in this instruction manual, isdisclaimed by Atlas Copco.

To be read attentively and acted accordingly before towing, lifting, operating, performingmaintenance or repairing the compressor.

The manufacturer does not accept any liability for anydamage arising from the use of non-original parts andfor modifications, additions or conversions madewithout the manufacturer’s approval in writing.If any statement in this manual does not comply withlocal legislation, the stricter of the two shall beapplied.Statements in these safety precautions should not beinterpreted as suggestions, recommendations orinducements that it should be used in violation of anyapplicable laws or regulations.

GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1 The owner is responsible for maintaining the unitin a safe operating condition. Unit parts andaccessories must be replaced if missing orunsuitable for safe operation.

2 The supervisor, or the responsible person, shall atall times make sure that all instructions regardingmachinery and equipment operation andmaintenance are strictly followed and that themachines with all accessories and safety devices,as well as the consuming devices, are in goodrepair, free of abnormal wear or abuse, and arenot tampered with.

3 Whenever there is an indication or any suspicionthat an internal part of a machine is overheated,the machine shall be stopped but no inspectioncovers shall be opened before sufficient coolingtime has elapsed; this to avoid the risk ofspontaneous ignition of oil vapour when air isadmitted.

4 Normal ratings (pressures, temperatures, speeds,etc.) shall be durably marked.

5 Operate the unit only for the intended purpose andwithin its rated limits (pressure, temperature,speeds, etc.).

6 The machinery and equipment shall be kept clean,i.e. as free as possible from oil, dust or otherdeposits.

7 To prevent an increase in working temperature,inspect and clean heat transfer surfaces (coolerfins, intercoolers, water jackets, etc.) regularly.See the Preventive maintenance schedule forthe compressor.

8 All regulating and safety devices shall bemaintained with due care to ensure that theyfunction properly. They may not be put out ofaction.

9 Care shall be taken to avoid damage to safetyvalves and other pressure-relief devices,especially to avoid plugging by paint, oil coke ordirt accumulation, which could interfere with thefunctioning of the device.

10 Pressure and temperature gauges shall be checkedregularly with regard to their accuracy. They shallbe replaced whenever outside acceptabletolerances.

11 Safety devices shall be tested as described in themaintenance schedule of the instruction manualto determine that they are in good operatingcondition. See the Preventive maintenanceschedule for the compressor.

12 Mind the markings and information labels on theunit.

13 In the event the safety labels are damaged ordestroyed, they must be replaced to ensureoperator safety.

14 Keep the work area neet. Lack of order willincrease the risk of accidents.

15 When working on the unit, wear safety clothing.Depending on the kind of activities these are:safety glasses, ear protection, safety helmet(including visor), safety gloves, protectiveclothing, safety shoes. Do not wear the hair longand loose (protect long hair with a hairnet), orwear loose clothing or jewelry.

16 Take precautions against fire. Handle fuel, oil andanti-freeze with care because they areinflammable substances. Do not smoke orapproach with naked flame when handling suchsubstances. Keep a fire-extinguisher in thevicinity.

SAFETY DURING TRANSPORT AND INSTALLATION

To lift a unit, all loose or pivoting parts, e.g. doors andtowbar, shall first be securely fastened.Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to thelifting eye; apply a crane hook or lifting shacklemeeting local safety regulations. Never allow sharpbends in lifting cables, chains or ropes.Helicopter lifting is not allowed. It is strictly forbidden to dwell or stay in the risk zoneunder a lifted load. Never lift the unit over people orresidential areas. Lifting acceleration and retardationshall be kept within safe limits.1 Before towing the unit:

- ascertain that the pressure vessel(s) is (are)depressurized,

- check the towbar, the brake system and thetowing eye. Also check the coupling of thetowing vehicle,

- check the towing and brake capability of thetowing vehicle,

- check that the towbar, jockey wheel or standleg is safely locked in the raised position,

- ascertain that the towing eye can swivel freelyon the hook,

- check that the wheels are secure and that thetyres are in good condition and inflatedcorrectly,

- connect the signalisation cable, check all lightsand connect the pneumatic brake couplers,

- attach the safety break-away cable or safetychain to the towing vehicle,

- remove wheel chocks, if applied, anddisengage the parking brake.

2 To tow a unit use a towing vehicle of amplecapacity. Refer to the documentation of thetowing vehicle.

3 If the unit is to be backed up by the towingvehicle, disengage the overrun brake mechanism(if it is not an automatic mechanism).

4 Never exceed the maximum towing speed of theunit (mind the local regulations).

5 Place the unit on level ground and apply theparking brake before disconnecting the unit fromthe towing vehicle. Unclip the safety break-awaycable or safety chain. If the unit has no parkingbrake or jockey wheel, immobilize the unit byplacing chocks in front of and/or behind thewheels. When the towbar can be positionedvertically, the locking device must be applied andkept in good order.

6 To lift heavy parts, a hoist of ample capacity,tested and approved according to local safetyregulations, shall be used.

7 Lifting hooks, eyes, shackles, etc., shall never bebent and shall only have stress in line with theirdesign load axis. The capacity of a lifting devicediminishes when the lifting force is applied at anangle to its load axis.

8 For maximum safety and efficiency of the liftingapparatus all lifting members shall be applied asnear to perpendicular as possible. If required, alifting beam shall be applied between hoist andload.

9 Never leave a load hanging on a hoist.10 A hoist has to be installed in such a way that the

object will be lifted perpendicular. If that is notpossible, the necessary precautions must be takento prevent load-swinging, e.g. by using twohoists, each at approximately the same angle notexceeding 30° from the vertical.

11 Locate the unit away from walls. Take allprecautions to ensure that hot air exhausted fromthe engine and driven machine cooling systemscannot be recirculated. If such hot air is taken inby the engine or driven machine cooling fan, thismay cause overheating of the unit; if taken in forcombustion, the engine power will be reduced.

SAFETY DURING USE AND OPERATION

1 When the unit has to operate in a fire-hazardousenvironment, each engine exhaust has to beprovided with a spark arrestor to trap incendiarysparks.

2 The exhaust contains carbon monoxide which is alethal gas. When the unit is used in a confinedspace, conduct the engine exhaust to the outsideatmosphere by a pipe of sufficient diameter; dothis in such a way that no extra back pressure iscreated for the engine. If necessary, install anextractor. Observe any existing local regulations.Make sure that the unit has sufficient air intakefor operation. If necessary, install extra air intakeducts.

3 When operating in a dust-laden atmosphere, placethe unit so that dust is not carried towards it by thewind. Operation in clean surroundingsconsiderably extends the intervals for cleaningthe air intake filters and the cores of the coolers.

4 Close the compressor air outlet valve beforeconnecting or disconnecting a hose. Ascertainthat a hose is fully depressurized beforedisconnecting it. Before blowing compressed airthrough a hose or air line, ensure that the open endis held securely, so that it cannot whip and causeinjury.

- 9 -

Page 10: Atlas Copco XAHS186 Instruction Manual

5 The air line end connected to the outlet valvemust be safeguarded with a safety cable, attachednext to the valve.

6 No external force may be exerted on the air outletvalves, e.g. by pulling on hoses or by installingauxiliary equipment directly to a valve, e.g. awater separator, a lubricator, etc. Do not step onthe air outlet valves.

7 Never move a unit when external lines or hosesare connected to the outlet valves, to avoiddamage to valves, manifold and hoses.

8 Do not use compressed air from any type ofcompressor, without taking extra measures, forbreathing purposes as this may result in injury ordeath. For breathing air quality, the compressedair must be adequately purified according to locallegislation and standards. Breathing air mustalways be supplied at stable, suitable pressure.

9 Distribution pipework and air hoses must be ofcorrect diameter and suitable for the workingpressure. Never use frayed, damaged ordeteriorated hoses. Replace hoses and flexiblesbefore the lifetime expires. Use only the correcttype and size of hose end fittings and connections.

10 If the compressor is to be used for sand-blastingor will be connected to a common compressed-airsystem, fit an appropriate non-return valve (checkvalve) between compressor outlet and theconnected sand-blasting or compressed-airsystem. Observe the right mounting position/direction.

11 Before removing the oil filler plug, ensure that thepressure is released by opening an air outletvalve.

12 Never remove a filler cap of the cooling watersystem of a hot engine. Wait until the engine hassufficiently cooled down.

13 Never refill fuel while the unit is running, unlessotherwise stated in the Atlas Copco InstructionBook. Keep fuel away from hot parts such as airoutlet pipes or the engine exhaust. Do not smokewhen fuelling. When fuelling from an automaticpump, an earthing cable should be connected tothe unit to discharge static electricity. Never spillnor leave oil, fuel, coolant or cleansing agent in oraround the unit.

14 All doors shall be shut during operation so as notto disturb the cooling air flow inside thebodywork and/or render the silencing lesseffective. A door should be kept open for a shortperiod only e.g. for inspection or adjustment.

15 Periodically carry out maintenance worksaccording to the maintenance schedule.

16 Stationary housing guards are provided on allrotating or reciprocating parts not otherwiseprotected and which may be hazardous topersonnel. Machinery shall never be put intooperation, when such guards have been removed,before the guards are securely reinstalled.

17 Noise, even at reasonable levels, can causeirritation and disturbance which, over a longperiod of time, may cause severe injuries to thenervous system of human beings. When the soundpressure level, at any point where personnelnormally has to attend, is:- below 70 dB(A): no action needs to be taken,- above 70 dB(A): noise-protective devices

should be provided for people continuouslybeing present in the room,

- below 85 dB(A): no action needs to be takenfor occasional visitors staying a limited timeonly,

- above 85 dB(A): room to be classified as anoise-hazardous area and an obvious warningshall be placed permanently at each entranceto alert people entering the room, for evenrelatively short times, about the need to wearear protectors,

- above 95 dB(A): the warning(s) at theentrance(s) shall be completed with therecommendation that also occasional visitorsshall wear ear protectors,

- above 105 dB(A): special ear protectors thatare adequate for this noise level and thespectral composition of the noise shall beprovided and a special warning to that effectshall be placed at each entrance.

18 Insulation or safety guards of parts thetemperature of which can be in excess of 80 °C(175 °F) and which may be accidentally touchedby personnel shall not be removed before theparts have cooled to room temperature.

19 Never operate the unit in surroundings wherethere is a possibility of taking in flammable ortoxic fumes.

20 If the working process produces fumes, dust orvibration hazards, etc., take the necessary steps toeliminate the risk of personnel injury.

21 When using compressed air or inert gas to cleandown equipment, do so with caution and use theappropriate protection, at least safety glasses, forthe operator as well as for any bystander. Do notapply compressed air or inert gas to your skin ordirect an air or gas stream at people. Never use itto clean dirt from your clothes.

22 When washing parts in or with a cleaning solvent,provide the required ventilation and useappropriate protection such as a breathing filter,safety glasses, rubber apron and gloves, etc.

- 10 -

Page 11: Atlas Copco XAHS186 Instruction Manual

23 Safety shoes should be compulsory in anyworkshop and if there is a risk, however small, offalling objects, wearing of a safety helmet shouldbe included.

24 If there is a risk of inhaling hazardous gases,fumes or dust, the respiratory organs must beprotected and depending on the nature of thehazard, so must the eyes and skin.

25 Remember that where there is visible dust, thefiner, invisible particles will almost certainly bepresent too; but the fact that no dust can be seenis not a reliable indication that dangerous,invisible dust is not present in the air.

26 Never operate the unit at pressures or speedsbelow or in excess of its limits as indicated in thetechnical specifications.

SAFETY DURING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

Maintenance, overhaul and repair work shall only becarried out by adequately trained personnel; ifrequired, under supervision of someone qualified forthe job.1 Use only the correct tools for maintenance and

repair work, and only tools which are in goodcondition.

2 Parts shall only be replaced by genuine AtlasCopco replacement parts.

3 All maintenance work, other than routineattention, shall only be undertaken when the unitis stopped. Steps shall be taken to preventinadvertent starting. In addition, a warning signbearing a legend such as ”work in progress; donot start” shall be attached to the startingequipment. On engine-driven units the battery shall bedisconnected and removed or the terminalscovered by insulating caps. On electrically driven units the main switch shallbe locked in open position and the fuses shall betaken out. A warning sign bearing a legend suchas ”work in progress; do not supply voltage” shallbe attached to the fuse box or main switch.

4 Before dismantling any pressurized component,the compressor or equipment shall be effectivelyisolated from all sources of pressure and the entiresystem shall be relieved of pressure. Do not relyon non-return valves (check valves) to isolatepressure systems. In addition, a warning signbearing a legend such as ”work in progress; donot open” shall be attached to each of the outletvalves.

5 Prior to stripping an engine or other machine orundertaking major overhaul on it, prevent allmovable parts from rolling over or moving.

6 Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are leftin or on the machine. Never leave rags or looseclothing near the engine air intake.

7 Never use flammable solvents for cleaning (fire-risk).

8 Take safety precautions against toxic vapours ofcleaning liquids.

9 Never use machine parts as a climbing aid.10 Observe scrupulous cleanliness during

maintenance and repair. Keep away dirt, coverthe parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth,paper or tape.

11 Never weld on or perform any operationinvolving heat near the fuel or oil systems. Fueland oil tanks must be completely purged, e.g. bysteam-cleaning, before carrying out suchoperations. Never weld on, or in any way modify,pressure vessels. Disconnect the alternator cablesduring arc welding on the unit.

12 Support the towbar and the axle(s) securely ifworking underneath the unit or when removing awheel. Do not rely on jacks.

13 Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material. Keep the material free of dirtand liquids such as fuel, oil and cleansing agents.If any sound-damping material is damaged,replace it to prevent the sound pressure level fromincreasing.

14 Use only lubricating oils and greasesrecommended or approved by Atlas Copco or themachine manufacturer. Ascertain that theselected lubricants comply with all applicablesafety regulations, especially with regard toexplosion or fire-risk and the possibility ofdecomposition or generation of hazardous gases.Never mix synthetic with mineral oil.

- 11 -

Page 12: Atlas Copco XAHS186 Instruction Manual

15 Protect the engine, alternator, air intake filter,electrical and regulating components, etc., toprevent moisture ingress, e.g. when steam-cleaning.

16 When performing any operation involving heat,flames or sparks on a machine, the surroundingcomponents shall first be screened with non-flammable material.

17 Never use a light source with open flame forinspecting the interior of a machine.

18 When repair has been completed, the machineshall be barred over at least one revolution forreciprocating machines, several revolutions forrotary ones to ensure that there is no mechanicalinterference within the machine or driver. Checkthe direction of rotation of electric motors whenstarting up the machine initially and after anyalteration to the electrical connection(s) or switchgear, to check that the oil pump and the fanfunction properly.

19 Maintenance and repair work should be recordedin an operator’s logbook for all machinery.Frequency and nature of repairs can reveal unsafeconditions.

20 When hot parts have to be handled, e.g. shrinkfitting, special heat-resistant gloves shall be usedand, if required, other body protection shall beapplied.

21 When using cartridge type breathing filterequipment, ascertain that the correct type ofcartridge is used and that its useful service life isnot surpassed.

22 Make sure that oil, solvents and other substanceslikely to pollute the environment are properlydisposed of.

23 Before clearing the unit for use after maintenanceor overhaul, check that operating pressures,temperatures and speeds are correct and that thecontrol and shutdown devices function correctly.

TOOL APPLICATIONS SAFETY

Apply the proper tool for each job. With theknowledge of correct tool use and knowing thelimitations of tools, along with some common sense,many accidents can be prevented.Special service tools are available for specific jobsand should be used when recommended. The use ofthese tools will save time and prevent damage toparts.

SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

BatteriesWhen servicing batteries, always wear protectingclothing and glasses.1 The electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid

solution which is fatal if it hits your eyes, andwhich can cause burns if it contacts your skin.Therefore, be careful when handling batteries,e.g. when checking the charge condition.

2 Install a sign prohibiting fire, open flame andsmoking at the post where batteries are beingcharged.

3 When batteries are being charged, an explosivegas mixture forms in the cells and might escapethrough the vent holes in the plugs. Thus anexplosive atmosphere may form around thebattery if ventilation is poor, and can remain inand around the battery for several hours after ithas been charged. Therefore:- never smoke near batteries being, or having

recently been, charged,- never break live circuits at battery terminals,

because a spark usually occurs.4 When connecting an auxiliary battery (AB) in

parallel to the unit battery (CB) with boostercables: connect the + pole of AB to the + pole ofCB, then connect the - pole of CB to the mass ofthe unit. Disconnect in the reverse order.

Pressure vessels(according to directive 87/404/EEC annex II § 2)Maintenance/installation requirements:1 The vessel can be used as pressure vessel or as

separator and is designed to hold compressed airfor the following application:- pressure vessel for compressor,- medium AIR/OIL,and operates as detailed on the data plate of thevessel:- the maximum working pressure ps in bar (psi),- the maximum working temperature Tmax in

°C (°F),- the minimum working temperature Tmin in °C

(°F),- the capacity of the vessel V in l (US gal, Imp

gal, cu.ft).2 The pressure vessel is only to be used for the

applications as specified above and in accordancewith the technical specifications. Safety reasonsprohibit any other applications.

3 National legislation requirements with respect tore-inspection must be complied with.

4 No welding or heat treatment of any kind ispermitted to those vessel walls which are exposedto pressure.

5 The vessel is provided and may only be used withthe required safety equipment such asmanometer, overpressure control devices, safetyvalve, etc.

6 Draining of condensate shall be performedregularly when vessel is in use.

7 Installation, design and connections should not bechanged.

8 Bolts of cover and flanges may not be used forextra fixation.

Safety valvesAll adjustments or repairs are to be done by anauthorized representative of the valve supplier (seealso Preventive maintenance schedule for thecompressor).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The compressors type XAHS 146 Dd, XATS 156 Dd,XA(S) 186 Dd, XAVS 166 Dd and XAHS 186 Dd aresilenced, single-stage, oil-injected screwcompressors, built for a nominal effective workingpressure, ranging from 7 bar (102 psi) up to 12 bar(175 psi) (see chapter Technical specifications).

EngineThe compressors are driven by a liquid-cooled dieselengine.The engine’s power is transmitted to the compressorthrough a heavy-duty coupling.

CompressorThe compressor casing houses two screw-type rotors,mounted on ball and roller bearings. The male rotor,driven by the engine, drives the female rotor. Theelement delivers pulsation-free air.Injected oil is used for sealing, cooling andlubricating purposes.

Compressor oil systemThe oil is boosted by air pressure. The system has nooil pump.The oil is removed from the air, in the air/oil vessel atfirst by centrifugal force, secondly by the oil separatorelement.The vessel is provided with an oil level indicator.

RegulationThe compressor is provided with a continuousregulating system and a blow-down valve which isintegrated in the unloader assembly. The valve isclosed during operation by air receiver pressure andopens by air receiver pressure via the compressorelement when the compressor is stopped.When the air consumption increases, the air receiverpressure will decrease and vice versa.This receiver pressure variation is sensed by theregulating valve which, by means of control air to theunloader and engine speed regulator, matches the airoutput to the air consumption. The air receiverpressure is maintained between the pre-selectedworking pressure and the corresponding unloadingpressure.

This symbol draws your attention todangerous situations. The operationconcerned may endanger persons andcause injuries.

AIR FLOW

The system comprises:AF Air filterAR/OS Air receiver/oil separatorCE Compressor elementUA/UV Unloader assembly with unloader valveBDV Blow-down valveLV Loading valve

Air drawn through the airfilter (AFce) into thecompressor element (CE) is compressed. At theelement outlet, compressed air and oil pass into the airreceiver/oil separator (AR/OS).The check valve (CV) prevents blow-back ofcompressed air when the compressor is stopped. Inthe air receiver/oil separator (AR/OS), most of the oilis removed from the air/oil mixture; the remaining oilis removed by the separator element.The oil collects in the receiver and on the bottom ofthe separator element.The air leaves the receiver via a minimum pressurevalve (MPV) which prevents the receiver pressurefrom dropping below the minimum working pressure(specified in section Limitations), even when the airoutlet valves are open. This ensures adequate oilinjection and prevents oil consumption.A temperature switch (TS) and a working pressuregauge (WPG) are comprised in the system.A blow-down valve (BDV) is fitted in the unloaderassembly to automatically depressurise the airreceiver (AR) when the compressor is stopped.

OIL SYSTEM

The system comprises:AR/OS Air receiver/oil separatorOC Oil coolerOF Oil filter

The lower part of the air receiver (AR) serves as oiltank.Air pressure forces the oil from the air receiver/oilseparator (AR/OS) through the oil cooler (OCce) andoil filter (OF) to the compressor element (CE).The compressor element has an oil gallery in thebottom of its casing. The oil for rotor lubrication,cooling and sealing is injected through holes in thegallery.Lubrication of the bearings is ensured by oil injectedinto the bearing housings.The injected oil, mixed with the compressed air,leaves the compressor element and re-enters the airreceiver, where it is separated from the air asdescribed in section Air flow. The oil that collects inthe bottom of the oil separator element is returned tothe system through scavenging line (SL), which isprovided with a flow restrictor (FR).The oil filter by-pass valve opens when the pressuredrop over the filter is above normal because of aclogged filter. The oil then by-passes the filterwithout being filtered. For this reason, the oil filtermust be replaced at regular intervals (see sectionPreventive maintenance schedule for thecompressor).

Page 23: Atlas Copco XAHS186 Instruction Manual

The system comprises:RV Regulating valveUA Unloader assemblySR Speed regulator

The compressor is provided with a continuousregulating system. This system is provided with ablow-down valve which is integrated in the unloaderassembly (UA). The valve is closed during operationby air receiver pressure and opens by air receiverpressure via the compressor element when thecompressor is stopped.When the air consumption increases, the air receiverpressure will decrease and vice versa. This receiverpressure variation is sensed by the regulating valvewhich, by means of control air to the unloader,matches the air output to the air consumption. The airreceiver pressure is maintained between the pre-selected working pressure and the correspondingunloading pressure.When starting the compressor, the unloader valve(UV) is kept open by spring force, the engine runs atmaximum speed. The compressor element (CE) takesin air and pressure builds up in the receiver (AR).

The air output is controlled from maximum output(100%) to no output (0%) by:1. Speed control of the engine between maximum

load speed and unloading speed (the output of a screw compressor is proportional to the rotating speed).

2. Air inlet throttling.3. Blow off valve (BOV).If the air consumption is equal to or exceeds themaximum air output, the engine speed is held atmaximum load speed and the unloading valve is fullyopen.If the air consumption is less than the maximum airoutput, the regulating valve supplies control air tounloader valve (UV) to reduce the air output andholds air receiver pressure between the normalworking pressure and the corresponding unloadingpressure of approx. 1.5 bar (22 psi) above the normalworking pressure.When the air consumption is resumed, the blow offvalve (BOV) closes and the unloader valve (UV)gradually opens the air intake and the speed regulator(SR) increases the engine speed.

The construction of the regulating valve (RV) is suchthat any increase (decrease) of the air receiverpressure above the pre-set valve opening pressureresults in a proportional increase (decrease) of thecontrol pressure to the unloading valve and the speedregulator.Part of the control air is vented to atmosphere, andany condensate discharged, through the vent holes(VH).

OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE

ENGINE OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE

See section Preventive maintenance schedule forthe compressor.

COMPRESSOR OIL AND OIL FILTER CHANGE

The quality and the temperature of the oil determinethe oil change interval.The prescribed interval is based on normal operatingconditions and an oil temperature of up to 100 °C(212 °F) (see section Preventive maintenanceschedule for the compressor).When operating in high ambient temperatures, in verydusty or high humidity conditions, it is recommendedto change the oil more frequently.

1. Run the compressor until warm. Close the outlet valve(s) (1) and stop the compressor. Wait until the pressure is released through the automatic blow-down valve. Unscrew the oil filler plug (2) one turn. This uncovers a vent hole, which permits any pressure in the system to escape.

2. Drain the compressor oil by removing all relevant drain plugs. Drain plugs are located at the air receiver (DPar), compressor element (DPcv, DPosv) and compressor oil cooler (DPoc). Catch the oil in a drain pan. Screw out the filler plug (2) to speed up draining. After draining, place and tighten the drain plugs.

3. Remove the oil filters (3), e.g. by means of a special tool. Catch the oil in a drain pan.

4. Clean the filter seat on the manifold, taking care that no dirt drops into the system. Oil the gasket of the new filter element. Screw it into place until the gasket contacts its seat, then tighten one half turn only.

5. Fill the air receiver until the pointer of the oil level gauge is in the upper part of the green area. Be sure that no dirt gets into the system. Reinstall and tighten the filler plug (2).

6. Start the compressor and let it run unloaded for a few minutes.

7. Stop the compressor, wait a few minutes and top up with oil until the pointer of the oil level gauge is in the upper part of the green area.In this case, contact Atlas Copco.

COOLANT SPECIFICATIONS

The use of the correct coolant is important for goodheat transfer and protection of liquid-cooled engines.Coolants used in these engines must be mixtures ofgood quality water (distilled or de-ionised), specialcoolant additives and if necessary freeze protection.Coolant that is not to manufacturer's specification willresult in mechanical damage of the engine.The freezing point of the coolant must be lower thanthe freezing point that can occur in the area. Thedifference must be at least 5°C (9°F). If the coolantfreezes, it may crack the cylinder block, radiator orcoolant pump.Consult the engine's operation manual and follow themanufacturer's directions.

Never remove the cooling system fillercap while coolant is hot.The system may be under pressure.Remove the cap slowly and only whencoolant is at ambient temperature. Asudden release of pressure from a heatedcooling system can result in personalinjury from the splash of hot coolant.

It is strongly recommended to use AtlasCopco branded coolant.

Never mix different coolants and mix thecoolant components outside the coolingsystem.

PARCOOL EG

PARCOOL EG is the only coolant that has beentested and approved by all engine manufacturerscurrently in use in Atlas Copco compressors andgenerators.Atlas Copco's PARCOOL EG extended life coolant isthe new range of organic coolants purpose designedto meet the needs of modern engines. PARCOOL EGcan help prevent leaks caused by corrosion.PARCOOL EG is also fully compatible with allsealants and gasket types developed to join differentmaterials used within an engine.PARCOOL EG is a ready to use Ethylene Glycolbased coolant, premixed in an optimum 50/50dilution ratio, for antifreeze protection guaranteed to-40°C (-40°F).

Because PARCOOL EG inhibits corrosion, depositformation is minimized. This effectively eliminatesthe problem of restricted flow through the enginecoolant ducts and the radiator, minimizing the risk forengine overheating and possible failure.It reduces water pump seal wear and has excellentstability when subjected to sustained high operatingtemperatures.PARCOOL EG is free of nitride and amines to protectyour health and the environment. Longer service lifereduces the amount of coolant produced and needingdisposal to minimise environmental impact.

PARCOOL EG

To ensure protection against corrosion, cavitation and formation of deposits, the concentration of the additivesin the coolant must be kept between certain limits, as stated by the manufacturer's guidelines. Topping up thecoolant with water only, changes the concentration and is therefore not allowed.Liquid-cooled engines are factory-filled with this type of coolant mixture.

HANDLING PARCOOL EG

PARCOOL EG should be stored at ambienttemperatures, while periods of exposure totemperatures above 35°C (95°F) should beminimized. PARCOOL EG can be stored for aminimum of 5 years in unopened containers withoutany effect on the product quality of performance.PARCOOL EG is compatible with most othercoolants based on ethylene glycol, but you only getthe benefits of 5 years protection when its used on itsown. Exclusive use of PARCOOL EG isrecommended for optimum corrosion protection andsludge control.For simple density-measuring of Ethylene Glycol andPropylene Glycol in general the standard available‘density’ measuring devices are used to measure theconcentration of EG. In case a device is used tomeasure EG, no PG can be measured afterwards as aresult of the difference in the density. More specificmeasurements can be done by the use of arefractometer. This device can measure both EG andPG. A mix of both products will be show unreliableresults!Mixed EG coolants with identical glycol type can bemeasured by use of a refractometer as well as the‘density’ system. The mixed coolants will beconsidered as one product.The use of distilled water is recommended. If youhave exceptionally soft water it would be acceptable,as well. Basically, the engine metals are going tocorrode to some extent no matter what water you use,and hard water will encourage the resulting metalsalts to precipitate.PARCOOL EG comes as a pre-mixed coolant tosafeguard the quality of the complete product.It is recommended that topping up of the coolingsystem is always done with PARCOOL EG.

COOLANT CHECK

In order to guarantee the lifetime and quality of theproduct, thus to optimise engine protection, regularcoolant-condition-analysis is advisable.The quality of the product can be determined by threeparameters:

Visual check• Verify the outlook of the coolant regarding colour

and make sure that no loose particles are floating around.

pH measurement• Check the pH value of the coolant using a pH-

measuring device.• The pH-meter can be ordered from Atlas Copco

with part number 2913 0029 00.• Typical value for EG = 8.6.• If the pH-level is below 7 or above 9.5, the coolant

should be replaced.

Glycol concentration measurement• To optimise the unique engine protection features

of the PARCOOL EG the concentration of the Glycol in the water should be always above 33 vol.%.

• Mixtures with more than 68 vol.% mix ratio in water are not recommended, as this will lead to high engine operating temperatures.

• A refractometer can be ordered from Atlas Copco with part number 2913 0028 00.

TOPPING UP/REPLACING COOLANT

• Verify if the engine cooling system is in a good condition (no leaks, clean,...).

• Check the condition of the coolant.• If the condition of the coolant is outside the limits,

the complete coolant should be replaced (see section Replacing the coolant).

• Always top-up with PARCOOL EG Concentrate / PARCOOL EG.

• Topping up the coolant with water only, changes the concentration of additives and is therefore not allowed.

Never remove the cooling system fillercap while coolant is hot.The system may be under pressure.Remove the cap slowly and only whencoolant is at ambient temperature. Asudden release of pressure from a heatedcooling system can result in personalinjury from the splash of hot coolant.

In case of a mix of different coolantproducts this type of measurementmight provide incorrect values.

REPLACING THE COOLANT

Drain• Completely drain the entire cooling system.• Used coolant must be disposed or recycled in

accordance with laws and local regulations.

Flush• Flush twice with clean water. Used coolant must

be disposed or recycled in accordance with laws and local regulations.

• From the Atlas Copco Instruction book, determine the amount of PARCOOL EG required and pour into the radiator top tank.

• It should be clearly understood that the risk for contamination is reduced in case of proper cleaning.

• In case a certain content of ‘other’ coolant remains in the system, the coolant with the lowest properties influences the quality of the ‘mixed’ coolant.

Fill• To assure proper operation and the release of

trapped air, run the engine until normal engine operation temperature is reached. Turn off the engine and allow to cool.

• Recheck coolant level and add coolant mixture if necessary.

CLEANING COOLERS

Keep the coolers clean to maintain the coolingefficiency.

Then clean by air jet in reverse direction of normalflow. Steam cleaning in combination with a cleansing agentmay be applied.

Close the service door(s).

BATTERY CARE

If the battery is still dry, it must be activated asdescribed in section Activating a dry-chargedbattery.The battery must be in operation within 2 monthsfrom being activated; if not, it needs to be rechargedfirst.

In case of a mix of different coolantproducts this type of measurementmight provide incorrect values.

Remove any dirt from the coolers with afibre brush. Never use a wire brush ormetal objects.

To avoid damaging the coolers, anglebetween jet and coolers should beapprox. 90 °.(do not use jet at max. power)

ELECTROLYTE

Electrolyte in batteries is a sulphuric acid solution indistilled water.The solution must be made up before beingintroduced into the battery.

ACTIVATING A DRY-CHARGED BATTERY

• Take out the battery.• Battery and electrolyte must be at equal

temperature above 10°C (50°F).• Remove cover and/or plug from each cell.• Fill each cell with electrolyte until the level

reaches 10 mm (0.4 in) to 15 mm (0.6 in) above the plates, or to the level marked on the battery.

• Rock the battery a few times so that possible air bubbles can escape; wait 10 minutes and check the level in each cell once more; if required, add electrolyte.

• Refit plugs and/or cover.• Place the battery in the compressor.

RECHARGING A BATTERY

Before and after charging a battery, always check theelectrolyte level in each cell; if required, top up withdistilled water only. When charging batteries, eachcell must be open, i.e. plugs and/or cover removed.

Apply with preference the slow charging method andadjust the charge current according to the followingrule of thumb:battery capacity in Ah divided by 20 gives safecharging current in Amp.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE

• Keep the battery clean and dry.• Keep the electrolyte level at 10 mm (0.4 in) to

15 mm (0.6 in) above the plates or at the indicated level; top up with distilled water only.

• Keep the terminals and clamps tight, clean, and lightely covered with petroleum jelly.

DisposalGENERAL

When developing products and services, Atlas Copcotries to understand, address, and minimize thenegative environmental effects that the products andservices may have, when being manufactured,distributed, and used, as well as at their disposal.Recycling and disposal policy are part of thedevelopment of all Atlas Copco products. AtlasCopco company standards determine strictrequirements.Selecting materials the substantial recyclability, thedisassembly possibilities and the separability ofmaterials and assemblies are considered as well as theenvironmental perils and dangers to health during therecycling and disposal of the unavoidable rates of notrecyclable materials.Your Atlas Copco compressor consists for the mostpart of metallic materials, that can be remelted insteelworks and smelting works and that is thereforealmost infinite recyclable. The plastic used islabelled; sorting and fractioning of the materials forrecycling in the future is forseen.

DISPOSAL OF MATERIALS

Dispose contaminated substances and materialseparately, according to local applicableenvironmental legislations.Before dismantling a machine at the end of itsoperating lifetime drain all fluids and dispose ofaccording the applicable local disposal regulations. Remove the batteries. Do not throw batteries into thefire (explosion risk) or into the residual waste.Separate the machine into metal, electronics, wiring,hoses, insulation and plastic parts. Dispose all components according to the applicabledisposal regulations.Remove spilled fluid mechanically; pick up the restwith absorbing agent (for example sand, sawdust) anddispose it according the applicable local disposalregulations. Do not drain into the sewage system orsurface water.

This concept can only succeed with yourhelp. Support us by disposingprofessionally. By assuring a correctdisposal of the product you help toprevent possible negative consequencesfor environment and health, that canoccur with an inappropriate wastehandling.Recycling and re-usage of material helpsto preserve natural resources.
