10000 B 8 bar and 116 psi compressors:
•
Replace the element outlet pipe and the plastic insert.
See section Outlet pipe replacement (3.7 kW elements
only).
Note: from S/N API 772 000 onwards, a new type of 3.7
kW compressor element is used. This new element does
no longer have a plastic insert in the outlet pipe and
replacement is no longer required.
• Clean fan (ref 124 on Flow diagram), fan duct and
element cooling fins (see note 2). See section Cleaning
cooling fins.
• Have orbiting scroll bearing and pin crank bearings
greased (see note 3).
• Replace tip seals and dust seal.
• Replace inlet seal.
Notes:
1.
Maintenance must be done according the number of running hours or according the running
period, whichever comes first.
2. More frequently in a dusty environment.
3. Important note: Regreasing of the bearings of the compressor element must be done with
special grease, a special grease gun and according a specific procedure.
In high ambient conditions, the bearings must be greased more frequently: for every 5 °C (9
°F) increase above 30 °C (86 °F), the maintenance interval should be reduced with 30 %.
Contact your supplier for details.
Check more frequently if operating in a dusty atmosphere. Check for cleanness and
damage. Replace a dirty or damaged filter by a new one.
4. In extremely dry conditions (relative humidity below 15 %), the tip seals and dust seals need
to be replaced more frequently.
