General
The Powerex Enclosed Scroll Air Compressor unit is designed to
provide clean, dry air for industrial applicaons where the quality
of the compressed air is crical. The standard unit is rated for a
maximum of 115 PSIG. A higher pressure version (max. 145 PSIG) is
also available. The unit is UL/CSA cered

.
Air Compressor System
The package shall include one oil-less scroll air compressor, a 13 gal.
tank, and associated equipment. The only eld connecons required
will be system exhaust, power connecon at the control panel, and
condensate tank drain connecon. All interconnecng piping and
wiring shall be included and operaonally tested prior to shipment.
Single phase 3HP units require installaon of an addional external
30 gal. tank and single phase 5HP units require installaon of an
addional external 60 gal. tank. An-corrosion tank lining is available.
Package includes sound reducing enclosure.
Sound Reducing Enclosure
The system is constructed with an internal frame and steel base
system with an individual vibraon isolaon mounted compressor
module. The sound reducing enclosure has side access panels to
allow service of the electrical controls. The enclosure has side cooling
air intakes and all exhaust air leaves the enclosure from the right side.
Oilless Scroll Compressor Pump
Each compressor shall be belt driven oil-less rotary scroll single
stage, air-cooled oil-less construcon with absolutely no oil needed
for operaon. The rotary design shall not require any inlet or exhaust
valves and shall be rated for 100% connuous duty. Direct drive
compressors shall not be used. Tip seals shall be of a composite
PTFE material and be rated for 10,000 hours operaon. Compressor
bearings shall be external to the air compression chamber and shall
all be serviceable for extended compressor life. Bearing maintenance
shall not be required unl 10,000 run hours. Compressors with
bearings that are not accessible for service have a limited life span and
shall not be accepted. Compressors shall have an integral radial ow
fan for cooling and shall not require any addional electric cooling
fans. Each compressor shall have exible connectors on discharge.
Each compressor pump shall be provided with an electric drive
motor, discharge check valve, an air-cooled aer-cooler, and a high
discharge temperature shut down switch.
Motor
Each compressor shall be belt driven by a 1750 RPM, ODP, NEMA
construcon motor. Motors running at speeds higher than 1750 RPM
shall not be acceptable. Three phase motors are EISA compliant and
premium ecient.
Air Receiver
The system shall include an internal 13 gallon ASME air receiver
rated for 175 PSI MAWP. The tank shall be equipped with a safety
relief valve and a manual or oponal automac electronic tank drain
with manual override. The tank will also have corrosion resistant FDA
approved material tank lining if that opon is selected.
System Controls
The system shall include a control panel with lighted on/o
switch magnec starter overload protecon, hour meter, and high
temperature shuto switch.
Inlet Filters
The system shall include a single inlet lter system. The inlet lter
system shall be located on the compressor pump.
Oponal Desiccant Air Dryer
Each twin-tower desiccant dryer shall be sized for the peak
calculated system demand to provide a pressure dew point of 0oF.
Dryer controls shall include a re-pressurizaon cycle to prevent
shocking of the desiccant bed prior to switching towers. An integral
purge saving control system shall be provided and shall suspend the
purge air loss during periods of low demand. When the dryer is in
purge control mode, the tower switching valves shall not operate,
and only one desiccant tower shall be on-line. Dryers that connue to
operate the switching valves on a xed cycle, while in purge control
mode shall not be acceptable. Desiccant dryer controls are to be
powered from a separate supply, not through compressor controls.
Oponal Refrigerant Air Dryer
The refrigerated air dryer is non-cycling, direct expansion type, using
R-134 A refrigerant (CFC free). A hot gas by-pass system maintains a
consistent temperature at all load condions. Heat exchangers are
made of copper tube construcon and fully insulated. Dryers shall
have power on and high temperature lights, internal 3-micron lter/
separator with stainless steel bowl, and med electric condensate
drain. Refrigerated dryers are to be powered from a separate supply,
not through the compressor controls.
Oponal Dewpoint Monitor
The system-integrated hygrometer shall be equipped with an
LCD dew point display and high dew point alarm with dry contacts
for remote monitoring. The sensor shall include an auto calibraon
feature to ensure the accuracy of the dew point measurement. Dew
point monitor powered separately.
Oponal Carbon Monoxide Monitor
The carbon monoxide (CO) monitor is provided in an enclosure with
LCD display of CO concentraons. The monitor shall connuously
display the CO content of the discharge air and shall provide audible
and visual high CO alarms. High alarm is set at 10 ppm. Dry contacts
are provided for remote monitoring of the high CO alarm. Carbon
monoxide monitor powered separately.

With the excepon of 5 HP single phase units, which only have a UL508A
listed control panel.
