Lifting acceleration and deceleration must be keptwithin safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.

2. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must be taken;consult your supplier.

3. In case the device is a compressor, place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and clean aspossible. If necessary, install a suction duct. Never obstruct the air inlet. Care must be taken tominimize the entry of moisture at the inlet air.

4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the pipes.5. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or

worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for theworking pressure.

6. In case the device is a compressor, the aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapors andparticles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.

7. In case the device is a compressor, arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannotbe drawn in.

8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand underheat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.

9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.10. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This machine is

remotely controlled and may start without warning.The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and depressurized and that the electricalisolating switch is open, locked and labelled with a temporary warning before any maintenance orrepair. As a further safeguard, persons switching on or off remotely controlled machines shall takeadequate precautions to ensure that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end,a suitable notice shall be affixed to the start equipment.

11. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is availableand that the exhausted air does not recirculate to the compressor air inlet or cooling air inlet.

12. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines must be earthedand protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power isolating switch must beinstalled near the compressor.

13. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function after voltage failureis activated, a sign stating "This machine may start without warning" must be affixed near theinstrument panel.

14. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each compressor. Non-return valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure systems.

15. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the machine. Everypressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressuremust be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.

• Air cooling filters of the electrical cabinet are not clogged9. If warm cooling air from compressors is used in air heating systems, e.g. to warm up a workroom,

take precautions against air pollution and possible contamination of the breathing air.10. On water-cooled compressors using open circuit cooling towers, protective measures must be taken to

avoid the growth of harmful bacteria such as Legionella pneumophila bacteria.11. Do not remove any of, or tamper with, the sound-damping material.12. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulations fitted on the machine. Every

pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressureshall be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.

13. Yearly inspect the air receiver. Minimum wall thickness as specified in the instruction book must berespected. Local regulations remain applicable if they are more strict.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation andSafety precautions during maintenance.These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to theapplication which are not included herein.Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hencesome statements may not apply to your machine.

1.5 Safety precautions during maintenance or repairAll responsibility for any damage or injury resulting from neglecting these precautions, ornon observance of the normal caution and care required for installation, operation,maintenance and repair, even if not expressly stated, will be disclaimed by themanufacturer.

Precautions during maintenance or repair1. Always use the correct safety equipment (such as safety glasses, gloves, safety shoes, etc.).2. Use only the correct tools for maintenance and repair work.3. Use only genuine spare parts for maintenance or repair. The manufacturer will disclaim all damage or

injuries caused by the use of non-genuine spare parts.4. All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress; do not start" shall be attached to the

starting equipment.6. Persons switching on remotely controlled machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that

there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed tothe remote start equipment.

7. Close the compressor air outlet valve and depressurize the compressor before connecting ordisconnecting a pipe.

8. Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all sources ofpressure and relieve the entire system of pressure.

9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety precautionsagainst toxic vapors of cleaning liquids.

10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by covering theparts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.

11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be completelypurged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any waymodify, pressure vessels.

Page 11: 20184900.pdf

12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, themachine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time haselapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapor when air is admitted.

13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function

properly. They may not be put out of action.16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,

temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted andthat they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shafthas been reinstalled.

17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oilseparator vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.

18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture fromentering them, e.g. when steam cleaning.

19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on thebodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged,replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level fromincreasing.

20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.21. Only if applicable, the following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:

• Never inhale refrigerant vapors. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; ifrequired, use breathing protection.

• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin withwater. If liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter;flush abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; thenseek medical first aid.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation andSafety precautions during operation.These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to theapplication which are not included herein.Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hencesome statements may not apply to your machine.

Energy recoveryThe compressor is provided with an Atlas Copco energy recovery system to recover the major part of thecompression heat in the form of hot water.

Instruction book

2920 1849 00 21

Page 24: 20184900.pdf

SPM monitoringA number of vibration sensors are provided on the drive motor and compressor elements. The readings canbe called up on the display of the Elektronikon regulator.

High ambient temperature (HAT)The compressor is specially designed for continuous operation under humid and high ambient temperatureconditions. The maximum ambient temperature is 50˚C (122˚F).

Anchor padsSteel plates, fitting in the forklift slots, and bolts are shipped loose with the compressor. With these platesand bolts, the compressor frame can be fixed to the floor.

Anti-condensation heatersElectric heaters are installed in the motor windings and connected to the compressor cubicle. When thecompressor is stopped, the heaters are automatically switched on. The heaters in the motor will preventcondensation during stand-still.

PDP sensorThe pressure dewpoint of the compressed air leaving the IMD dryer is continuously shown on the displayof the Elektronikon regulator. This allows to monitor the performance of the dryer and to make sure thatthe compressed air is dry enough for the application.

Low load compensatorThe low load installation allows the dryer to be operated in low load conditions of the compressor. At theseconditions (compressor in unload) the pressure dewpoint is maintained by purging a small amount ofheated, dryed air through the rotor of the dryer.

The low load compensator is needed when the load cycle of the compressor is below 40 %.

Full-Feature NDThe Z Full-Feature ND compressor has an integrated heat of compression rotary drum dryer. Theregeneration air passes over a heater. The heater maintains a preset regeneration temperature to have aguaranteed dew point at stated conditions. A thermostatic control puts on the heater and shuts it offautomatically based on the regeneration temperature requirements.

SmartboxWhen ordering the compressor, it is possible (except for Japan and Korea) to choose the free SMARTBOXoption which is mounted in the electrical cabinet. The SMARTBOX allows read-out of the compressorparameters on a login-protected web site called SMARTLINK. The connected antenna is mounted on theoutside of the electrical cabinet. Refer to the Smartbox and Smartlink section.

Kit for purge air during stand-stillWhen frequent and long standstills occur, it is recommended to install a kit for purge of dry air to guaranteethe life time of the oil-free screw elements. During standstill, condensation (which triggers corrosion)might occur. This results in an expected element lifetime reduction or even a compressor stage blocking

Instruction book

22 2920 1849 00

Page 25: 20184900.pdf

during standstill. Condensation is prevented by blowing a small amount of dry air through the small gapbetween rotor-rotor and rotor-housing once the compressor is stopped. To avoid long standstills, regularstarting can be programmed in the Elektronikon controller or by a central Atlas Copco ES controller.

Air flowAir drawn through filter (100) is compressed in low-pressure compressor element (104) and discharged tointercooler (108). The cooled air is further compressed in high-pressure compressor element (111) anddischarged through silencer (112) and aftercoolers (116). A check valve (115) is provided downstream ofthe silencer (112).

The wet air from the aftercooler (116) enters water separator (117) via the nozzle of ejector (211). Indemister (212), the water droplets are removed from the air. The air is then led through rotor, whichadsorbs the water vapor.

The compressed air leaves the compressor via the air outlet (2).

Regenerating circuit of the dryerHot regeneration air is branched off from the aftercooler (116). The regeneration air passes through shut-off valve (115), throttle valve (223) and strainer, and is blown through the wet rotor channels.

The hot saturated air is then cooled down in the regeneration air cooler. The regeneration air is then mixedwith the wet compressed air from the compressor aftercooler (116).

2.3 Elektronikon regulated drain (ERD)

DescriptionThe drain consists of a capacitive sensor which is incorporated in the drain collector and of a pilot valvewhich is placed outside the drain collector. A drain opening delay timer is started when the collector isfilled up to the level of the capacitive sensor. As long as the delay timer is running, extra condensate willbe collected and the level will rise even higher than the position of the sensor. As soon as the delay timerhas expired, the pilot valve (normally open) is deactivated and the diaphragm opens the outlet, dischargingthe condensate. From the moment that the sensor is not detecting any condensate anymore, a drain closingdelay timer is started. The pilot valve will still drain the condensate during the run of this timer to makesure that the remaining amount of condensate is drained. The pilot valve is activated when the timer hasexpired, the outlet closes quickly without wasting compressed air.

for ZT compressors

Reference Description1 Solenoid valve2 Connector3 Sensor4 Bushing5 Drain receiver

If the controller detects water in the intercooler or aftercooler drain receiver for too long a period, ashutdown is generated. If water is detected on the integrated dryer drain receiver for too long a period, awarning is generated.

The level switch is a capacitive sensor which generates a high signal when no water is present. Thesolenoid valves of the intercooler and aftercooler/integrated dryer drains are different. The solenoid valveof the intercooler drain has a high flow but cannot handle high pressures. The solenoid valve on theaftercooler/integrated dryer drains has less flow but can handle higher pressures. It is not allowed to openthe valves as they can loose their set point. Special attention must be paid to the correct wiring of thedifferent level switches and solenoid valves.

The output of the level switch can be called up on the screen of the Elektronikon regulator. The readingdoes not indicate whether the solenoid valve is open or closed, but indicates whether the level switch isdetecting water in the collector. Since there is a drain opening delay timer, the display on the Elektronikoncan show "Condensate Drain IC Open", while the solenoid valve is still closed. Changes to theElektronikon settings are not allowed. The "Always pressurized" bit must be activated on aftercooler andintegrated dryer drains. On the intercooler it is not allowed to activate this bit.

A functionality test is possible through the Elektronikon regulator. By performing this test, all solenoidvalves will be opened for a short time (e.g. 15 seconds). Refer to the Elektronikon chapter for more details.

On ZR compressors, oil is circulated by pump (131) from the sump (130) of the gear casing to cooler(132). From there, the oil flows through filter (133) towards the bearings and timing gears.

On ZT compressors, oil is circulated by pump (131) from the sump (130) of the gear casing to cooler (132).Then, the oil flows through the cooling jackets of compressor elements (104 and 111). From there, the oilflows through filter (133) towards the bearings and timing gears.

2.5 Cooling system

Cooling system, ZR compressorsRefer to the topic Air flow for flow diagrams.

The cooling system has two circuits:

• One for the oil cooler (132) and the cooling jackets of both compressor elements (104).• One for intercooler (108) and aftercooler (116).

Full-Feature compressors have an extra cooling circuit for the regeneration cooler of the integrated dryer.

Cooling system, ZT compressorsThe compressors are provided with an air-cooled oil cooler (132), intercooler (108), pre-aftercooler (116b)and aftercooler (116). An electric motor-driven fan (150) generates the cooling air.

Full-Feature compressors have an additional regeneration air cooler; the cooling air for this cooler isgenerated by an extra fan (153a).

2.6 Energy recovery

General

Instruction book

2920 1849 00 31

Page 34: 20184900.pdf

The system recovers the major part of the compression heat. The percentage of shaft input power availablefor recovery is between 80 and 95, depending on the operating conditions.

If an MD dryer is installed downstream of the compressor, this percentage is reduced to approx. 70 of theshaft input instead of approx. 90, as part of the heat in the compressed air is used for regeneration in thedrying process.

A complete energy recovery system includes:

• Compressor with modified cooling system (ZR)• A pump unit (PU) to transfer the recovered energy from the compressor cooling system to the heat

consumer (HC)• The heat consumer (HC), i.e. the equipment to transfer the energy to the industrial process

Modified cooling water systemThe compressor cooling system has been modified to achieve both high cooling water temperatures andsufficient cooling for the compressor.

The cooling water enters the oil cooler and then flows through the high-pressure compressor element, thelow-pressure compressor element and finally the intercooler and the aftercooler. This sequence ensuresoptimal temperature differences with relation to the heat transfer in the individual components.

On Full-Feature compressors, additional connections are provided for the water circuit of the additionalaftercooler and the cooler of the IMD dryer. To ensure that the IMD dryer works properly, low-temperaturecooling water should be used for this cooling water circuit. The heat of this cooling water circuit is notrecovered by the energy recovery system.

Pump unit

Instruction book

32 2920 1849 00

Page 35: 20184900.pdf

Atlas Copco supplies pump units to transfer the energy recovered from the compressor to the heatconsumer (HC). The pump unit constitutes a closed water circuit with the compressor cooling system.

Two water pumps (WP1/2) are fitted. One pump circulates the hot cooling water from the compressorthrough the heat consumer and back to the compressor. The other is a stand-by pump. Check valves(CV1/2) at the delivery side of the pumps prevent backflow of water in the stand-by pump. The pump unitis fitted with a make-up water connection, an air trap with automatic de-aeration device (AT), a pressureand temperature gauge (PI and TI), a safety valve (SV) and an expansion tank (ET).

Cooling water requirementsClosed recirculating water systems minimize make-up water requirements. Therefore, it is economicallyfeasible to use softened water to eliminate the problem of scaling deposits.

Corrosion control is important. The best results are obtained by adding corrosion inhibitors as used inengine cooling systems.

Using anti-freeze products is an alternative solution to avoid problems, e.g. adding 20 % to 30 % ethylene-glycol based anti-freeze to the tap water.

For open cooling water systems (e.g. boiler feed water preparation), consult the Atlas Copco CustomerCentre to avoid problems related to deposit control, corrosion control and microbiological growth control.

Water flow regulation through heat exchangersDepending on the amount of energy transferred in the heat consumer (HC), the heat exchanger (HE) of thepump unit is completely or partly by-passed by means of a thermostatic valve (RV2). The valve is normallyadjusted to achieve a cooling water temperature of 40 ˚C (corresponding to the maximum allowabletemperature at the compressor inlet). It is advisable to adjust the setting of the valve as close as possible tothe temperature of the cooling water returning from the heat consumer (HC).

Depending on the amount of energy transferred in the heat consumer (HC), the heat exchanger (HE) of thepump unit is completely or partly by-passed by means of a thermostatic valve (RV2). The valve is normallyadjusted to achieve a cooling water temperature of 104 ˚F (corresponding to the maximum allowabletemperature at the compressor inlet). It is advisable to adjust the setting of the valve as close as possible tothe temperature of the cooling water returning from the heat consumer (HC).

Sufficient low-temperature cooling water must be available for the heat exchanger to achieve a watertemperature that does not exceed 40 ˚C/104 ˚F.

Electrical systemThe pumps (WP1 and WP2) are driven by an electric motor. Each motor is equipped with manual startingequipment including a circuit breaker.

The first time it is started, check that the rotation direction matches the direction indicated by the arrows onthe motor flanges. If necessary, stop the unit, switch off the voltage and reverse two incoming electriclines.

Important remarksCompressed air quality and reliability of any compressor, dryer or other equipment should never be madesubordinate to the energy recovery system. In some cases, especially installations where air dryers areinstalled, an additional aftercooler is required to reduce the compressor air outlet temperature to a level atwhich the dryers operate at maximum efficiency. This aftercooler and the dryer (if water-cooled) need tobe cooled separately by low-temperature water. Consult the Atlas Copco Customer Centre.

Instruction book

2920 1849 00 33

Page 36: 20184900.pdf

The general temperature level of compressors with a modified cooling system for energy recovery isapprox. 20 to 25 ˚C (68 to 77 ˚F) higher than the level of compressors with a standard cooling system,resulting in a slight decrease in free air delivery and a slight increase in shaft power.

In case the compressors operate in high ambient temperatures and with high water inlet temperatures, themaximum working pressure is 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) lower than for standard compressors. Consult the AtlasCopco Customer Centre.

Description

Ref Description1 Install the compressor on a level floor suitable for taking the weight of the compressor.

Recommended minimum distance between the top of the bodywork and the ceiling:1200 mm (46.80 in).

2 Remove the plastic plug or cap (if provided) from the compressor air outlet pipe andinstall an air outlet valve. Close the valve and connect it to the air net.

3 The pressure drop over the delivery pipe can be calculated as follows:dp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x P)

• dp = pressure drop (recommended maximum = 0.1 bar)• L = length of outlet pipe in m• d = inner diameter of the delivery pipe in mm• P = absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)• Qc = free air delivery of the compressor in l/s

The connection of the compressor air delivery pipe should be made on top of the mainair net pipe to minimize carry-over of possible remainder of condensate.

4 The inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that anyrecirculation of cooling air to the compressor is avoided.The air velocity to the grids should be limited to 5 m/s (195 in/s).The required ventilation capacity (per compressor installed) to limit the compressorroom temperature can be calculated as follows:On ZR compressors: Qv = 0.1 N / dTOn ZT compressors: Qv = 0.92 N/ dT

• Qv = required ventilation capacity in m3/s• N = shaft input of the compressor in kW• dT = temperature rise over ambient in ˚C

If cooling air ducts are installed, the maximum allowable pressure drop over the ducts is30 Pa. Common ducting for several compressors is not allowed.

5 Lay out the drain piping from automatic condensate outlets (EWD) towards thecondensate collector. The drain pipes must not dip into the water of the collector. It isrecommended to provide a funnel to allow visual inspection of the condensate flow.

6 Elektronikon control system with control panel.7 See Electric cables for the recommended cable size of the supply cables. Check that

the electrical connections correspond to the local codes. The installation must beearthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. An isolating switchmust be installed near the compressor.

8 Provide a condensate drain valve in the lowest part of the pipe between the compressoroutlet valve and the air net.

9 Remove the plastic plugs (if provided) from the compressor water pipes and connect thepipes to the cooling water circuit. Provide a valve in the compressor water inlet pipe andoutlet pipe.

Do's and don'tsThe supplied compensators are NOT designed:

• to carry the weight of the mounted customer pipe end.• to work as a damper for unanchored pipe ends.• to carry the thrust forces of the compressed air.

Therefore, adequate supporting and anchoring of the customer pipe end should be foreseen to avoidcompensator damage.

Instruction book

2920 1849 00 87

Page 90: 20184900.pdf

The compensator loads (Fg and Ft) that are mentioned on the drawing are strictly forbidden:• Weight loads Fg• Thrust forces Ft

For the design of piping and supporting structures, use an approved standard code (e.g. EN 13480 orASME 16.5/B31.3).

Mind that the connected pipe at customer side does not create any flow restrictioncaused by e.g. section reduction.

While installing the compensator, please mind the following check points to avoid sealing damage.

4.7 Cooling water requirements

RecommendationsThe cooling water quality must meet certain minimum requirements.

No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds,solids and gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials.

Only non-treated water must be used.

This recommendation is a general guide line for acceptable coolant quality.

Type of systemIt is important to define the used cooling water system:

• an open system• a closed system

In a closed system, the same cooling water circulates through a system without contact with air.

An open system is a pass-through system, or a circulating system with a cooling tower. In the latter case,the composition of the water that enters the compressor must be considered, and not the composition of themake-up water. Due to the evaporative effect in the cooling tower, much higher concentrations of ions canbe obtained in the circulating water than in the make-up water.

Ryznar Stability Index (RSI)The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI) is a parameter for predicting whether water will tend to dissolve orprecipitate calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling deposits and their effect are different on differentmaterials, but the equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is only determined by its actual pH valueand by the saturation pH value (pHs).

The saturation pH value is determined by the relationship between the calcium hardness, the totalalkalinity, the total solids concentration and the temperature.

The Ryznar Stability Index is calculated as follows :

RSI = 2*pHs - pH

Symbol ExplanationpH Measured pH (at room temperature) of water samplepHs pH at saturation

The pHs is calculated by using :

pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D)

Symbol ExplanationA Depends on the total solids concentration (mg/l)B Depends on the highest cooling water temperature (˚C/˚F), (T=65 ˚C/149 ˚F)C Depends on the calcium hardness (ppm CaCO3)

D Depends on the HCO3- concentration or M-alkalinity (mval/l)

Instruction book

2920 1849 00 97

Page 100: 20184900.pdf

The values of A, B, C and D can be found in the following table.

The table indicates that distilled or demineralized water should never be used, as their RSI is > 11.

Instruction book

98 2920 1849 00

Page 101: 20184900.pdf

The RSI only indicates the equilibrium of scaling - descaling. A cooling water showing good RSIconditions can still be unsuitable due to other factors.

From the table above, the RSI index should be between 5.6 and 7.5; if not, consult your local Atlas CopcoCustomer Centre.

pHThe effect of pH is already calculated in the Ryznar index, but the pH itself has some additionallimitations : 6.8 < pH < 8.5

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)This is the sum of all the ions in the water. It can be derived from the dry residue after evaporation (but notincluding suspended solids), or it can be estimated from the electrical conductivity.

In a closed system, the following limits apply : TDS < 3000 mg/l (< 3800 microS/cm)

For an open system, the following limits apply : TDS < 750 mg/l ( < 960 microS/cm)

Chlorides (Cl-)Chloride ions will create pitting corrosion on stainless steel. Their concentration should be limited:

• Run the compressor for a few minutes and check that it operates normally.• Stop the compressor. If necessary, top up the gear casing with oil to the middle of sight-glass (SG).

Adjustment of the pressure difference of the dryer compartments1. Start and load the compressor2. Check the rotation direction of the dryer motor, the correct rotation direction is indicated by an arrow

on the motor housing.3. Close valves 1 and 2. Fill a transparent tube halfway with water. Install the tube to the valves. Open

the valve marked (-), slightly open the valve marked (+), while watching the water levels in the U-tube.Two conditions are possible:

• The water level in the leg marked (+) rises. Close the valve at once, decrease the regeneration airinlet pressure as described in step 4. Do this as often as necessary, until the water level drops.

• The water in the leg marked (-) rises, which should normally be the case. If the level in this legrises 30 mm (1.17 in) above the level in the leg marked (+), close the valve at once as there is arisk that the water will be ejected from the U-tube and dissappear into the pressure vessel.Increase the regeneration air inlet pressure as described in step 4 and open the valve again.

4. Once the water column has stabilized, adjust the pressure difference as follows:• Remove the protecting cap from the adjusting screw.

Instruction book

7. Start and load the compressor.8. Open the valve (if installed) to the air net or air receiver and blow off some air from the air net to

keep the compressor running loaded.9. Open valves (9 and 10). Open valve (6) slightly, while monitoring the water levels in the U-tube.

There are two possible conditions:• The water level in the leg marked (+) rises. Close valve (6) at once, decrease the regeneration air

inlet pressure (see next step). Do this as often as necessary until the water level drops.• The water level in the leg marked (-) rises, which should normally be the case. If the level in this

leg rises 30 mm above the level in the leg marked (+), close valve (6) at once, as there is a riskthat the water will escape the U-tube and disappear into the pressure vessel. Increase theregeneration air inlet pressure (see next step) and open valve (6) again.

10. Once the water column has stabilised, adjust the pressure differential as follows:• Remove the protective cap from the adjusting screw of throttle valve (12).• Loosen its check nut (13) and turn the screw to alter the pressure differential.• Monitor the water level for about 10 minutes.• Tighten the check nut and reinstall the protective cap.

11. Check the dryer connections for air leaks.12. On compressors equipped with a PDP sensor, open valve (11) to the PDP sensor 15 minutes after the

dryer is in operation.13. Check that the pressure dewpoint is OK after 1 hour.14. Close the blow-off valve of the air net, unload and stop the compressor. Close the air outlet valve of

the dryer.15. Switch off the voltage.16. Depressurize the dryer, see section Maintenance instructions.
