Air filter– Dry paper filter– Same as used on ZR/T range– Efficiency SAE fine particle size
0,001 mm 98 % 0,002 mm 99.5 % 0,003 mm 99.9 %
Air filter differential gauge– Provides visual view of air filter pressure
differential. – Change air filter when differential reaches
50 mbar
Air discharge pressure gauge– 50 mm diameter – Bar and psi display– Dry type

ZS Low Pressure Screw blower Scope of supply
Flexible hose – To provide a vibration decoupling between
the element and the filter housing.– On tri-lobe blowers serious cracking on the
filter housing can occur due to having no de-coupling
– On ZS it is not a concern but we can use this feature as a positive design feature over tri-lobes
11
ZS Low Pressure Screw blower Scope of supply – compression element
ZS element– 100% oil free element (Class 0)– Coated with the same coating as the Z stages
Coating consists of a teflon & a teflon grahite layer
– Timing gears like the Z’s but on drive end– Non-drive end is greased for life bearings
12

Timing gears on the non-drive end
Lubricated bearings on both drive end and non-drive end
13
ZS Low Pressure Screw blowerScope of supply
Flexible hose – To provide a vibration decoupling between the
element and silencer– On tri-lobe units serious failures of the silencers can
occur.– It is not an issue on the ZS due to the screw element
delivering higher frequency, low pulsation air but let’s use it to attack lobes.
14
ZS Low Pressure Screw blower Scope of supply
Gearbox– Transfers motor power to element more efficiently
than belt / pulley – Belt / pulley = approx. 93% efficient– Gearbox = approx. 98% efficient– No risk of misalignment – Belts needs to be replaced every year
15
ZS Low Pressure Screw blower Scope of supply
Start up valve– Closes when the pressure builds between 0.1 bar and 0.2 bar (1.5 psi and
3psi)– The valve is in the open position when the blower is off.– When the blower is started against a counter pressure, the air is blown off
through the main opening of the valve (1).– By increasing the air flow, a slight overpressure is generated in the pipe (2)
and the bellows (3) are filled with air.– When the pressure on the surface of the base plate (5) in the bellows has
become bigger than the pressure on the main opening of the valve (1), the base plate closes the valve.
– The unit is in load status.

Start up valve– When the unit will be stopped, the air in the bellows will escape through the
pipe. The pressure on the base plate diminishes and the springs (4) will open the valve.

Bursting disc– The bursting disc is the safety device to
ensure that any over pressure is released quickly.
– It is designed to protect the blower from over pressure.
– The bursting disc is used for PED accuracy and cost.
– Once the disc breaks it has to be replaced with a new one.

Check valve– Swing type – Prevents air from network entering the
element.– Low pressure drop design
Silencer– Reduce noise and pulsations generated
by element– Damping material is stainless steel wool
19
ZS Low Pressure Screw blower Scope of supply – oil circuit
Oil pump– Pumps oil from the tank (15 litre) to the bearings and gears– 50 Hz: 370 watt; 400V; 3phase – 60 Hz: 430 watt; 440-460V; 3 phase
Oil filter– Filters any particles from the oil – Genuine Atlas Copco oil filter
Oil cooler and cooling fan– To cool the oil prior to lubrication of gears– This is a big selling feature. Cooled oil has a much longer lifetime– 50Hz: 95 watt; 230V; 1 phase 1690 m3/hr cooling air flow– 60Hz: 94 watt; 115V; 1 phase 1420 m3/hr cooling air flow
Oil type– Roto Z

Working principle
Outlet port: much larger than OIS or OFS
When rotors rotate the volume between the rotors decreases : compression of the air
29
Working principle
When rotors rotate the volume between the rotors decreases down to the built-in volume ratio : compression of the air
30
Working principle
The outlet ports opens when the volume is reduced: compressed air is released from between the rotors to the outlet port
