2.6 AIR INLET SYSTEM,
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Refer to Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8. The compressor
inlet system consists of a dry-type air filter and an
air inlet valve.
The poppet-type air inlet valve controls the
compressor’s air intake volume. Refer to Full Load
Mode - 50 to 127 psig (3.4 to 8.8 bar) on page 15.
The air inlet valve also acts as a check valve to
prevent reverse rotation when the compressor is shut
down.

WARNING
"The Plastic Pipe Institute recommends
against the use of thermoplastic pipe to
transport compressed air or other com-
pressed gases in exposed above ground
locations, e.g. in exposed plant piping." (I)
Sullube should not be used with PVC piping
systems. It may affect the bond at cemented
joints. Certain other plastic materials may
also be affected.
