SAFETY PRECAUTIONS TO BE FOLLOWED WHEN USING STATIONARY COMPRESSORS

READ CAREFULLY BEFORE STARTING UP THE UNIT.

Besides the normal safety regulations which must be observed when using stationary air compressors, the following
instructions and precautions are particularly important.
When using this unit, the operator must comply with the local standards and regulations on safety at work.
The owner is responsible for ensuring that the compressor is kept in conditions that enable it to operate in absolute
safety. The compressor parts and accessories must be replaced if they do not guarantee safe operation.
Installation, operation, maintenance and repairs must be carried out only by authorised, trained and competent personnel.
Critical operation data (pressure, temperature, time interval, etc.) must be indelibly marked and kept in legible
conditions.

If any provision listed in this manual, especially regarding safety, does not comply with the local legislation, the
applicable one is the more restrictive of the two.
The precautions listed here are of a general nature and refer to many types of compressors and their respective
equipment, so some rules may not apply to the unit for which this manual is specifically intended.

INSTALLATION

Besides the general technical practice which must comply with the regulations enforced by the local authorities,
particular attention is drawn to the following instructions:
1. Install the compressor in premises where the environmental air is as cold and clean as possible. If necessary fit an
intake duct. Never block the air inlet. Take care to allow as little humidity as possible to be taken in with the air.
2. The air taken in must be free from fumes or inflammable vapours, for example paint solvents which could cause fire
or internal explosions.
3. Air-cooled compressors must be installed where there is a sufficient flow of cooling air, preventing the expelled air
from being recycled at inlet.
4. If a system includes several compressors, each one of these must be provided with manual gate valve. It is
absolutely forbidden to rely on the check valves inside the compressors to isolate each system under pressure.
5. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, the protections or insulating materials applied on the compressor.
Each pressurised tank or auxiliary unit, installed outside the main unit and containing air at a higher pressure than
the environmental air, must be protected with one or more pressure discharge device.
6. The electrical connections must comply with the local regulations. The units must be connected to earth and
protected against short circuits with fuses.

OPERATION

1. The flexible pipes for distributing compressed air must have adequate dimensions and must be suitable for the
working pressure. Never use flexible pipes that are worn, damaged or deteriorated. As regards couplings and
connections, use only the correct type and size. When feeding compressed air into a flexible pipe or an air line,
ensure that the free end of the pipe is securely fastened. A free end will give "whip lashes" and could cause injury to
people in the vicinity. Never play with compressed air. Never turn the jet of air against your own body or anyone
else's. Never use compressed air to remove dust from clothing. If using it to clean equipment, take great care and
wear protective goggles. Never inhale compressed air if you are not sure that it has been suitably purified for this
purpose.
2. Never operate the compressor in place where there is a possibility of its taking in inflammable or toxic fume.
3. Never run the unit at pressures lower or higher than the set limits indicated in the table of the Technical Data.
4. All parts of the canopy must be closed when the unit is working.
5. All persons in a compressor room where the noise level exceeds 90 dB(A), must protect their ears with special ear
muffs.

Adekom - Instruction and maintenance manual -

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance and repairs must be carried out only by sufficiently trained personnel, under the supervision of a technician
qualified to do the job.
1) Use only suitable tools for performing maintenance and repairs.
2) Use only genuine spare parts.
3) All maintenance jobs that are not routine visual checking must be started only when the compressor is at a standstill.
Ensure that the unit cannot be started accidentally.
4) Before removing any component under pressure, isolate the unit from any source of pressure and discharge pressure
from the whole system.
5) Never use inflammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride to clean the parts. Take necessary safety precautions against
the toxic vapours or fluids used for cleaning purposes.
6) Observe the strictest standards of cleanliness during maintenance and repair jobs. Protect the parts against dirt,
keeping them covered, and plug the openings with clean rags, paper or covers.
7) Never perform welding or other operations that generate heat near the oil system. In particular the oil tanks must be
completely cleaned before these operations can be carried out on them, for example by washing them with steam.
8) Never perform welding or make alterations of any kind on tanks under pressure. Ensure that no tools, loose parts or
cloths are left lying on the compressor, on the motor or on the moving parts.
9) Before leaving the unit to be started up after maintenance or overhauling, check that the pressures, the temperatures
and the settings are correct and that the control devices and safety stops work correctly.
10) Protect the motor, the electric parts and the regulation system components… etc., against inhalation of humidity, for
example when cleaning the unit with steam.
11) Maintain the noise level as specified, never remove sound-deadening material from the canopy panels.
12) When handling refrigerating substances, R22, R134a… etc., the following safety precautions must be taken:
a. Do not inhale the refrigerant vapours. Ensure that the area where you are working is sufficiently ventilated.
b. Always wear special gloves. If any splashes of refrigerating substance get on your skin, wash immediately with
water. For no reason should you work on the machine without protective garments.
c. Always wear safety goggles.

BEFORE FIRST STARTING

Before starting compressor for the first time it is compulsory to make sure that:
• Incoming voltage is the same as indicated on the machine nameplate.
• All external connection is made with cable of adequate size and type.
• Main automatic switch (on the wall) be of correct type and size.
• Oil level be correct (eventually top up with the same type of screw compressor lubricant).
• Check and tighten all electrical connections.

An adequate size of air receiver must be connected with flexible pipe. Before the first starting up or after a long time of
non usage of the compressor, pour 0.25 litre of oil into the suction of the air end after removing air filter (this quantity of
oil is better to be taken from the oil tank of compressor itself).

Adekom - Instruction and maintenance manual -

FIRST START UP

• The first start up of screw compressor package (commissioning) must be done compulsory by our authorised service
technician.
• Although models “KD” have a safety device to protect them from wrong rotation it is advisable during first
Starting up to make sure it is in the correct direction in order to avoid damages that can be very serious.
• Open the door to be able to see the rotation of airend.
• Press the start button, after one second, push emergency button in order to stop immediately the compressor. During
this time it must be noted if the rotation of compressor is in accordance with the arrow on airend.
• In case rotation not in accordance with arrow, remove voltage (locking the main switch) and exchange two
Incoming phases.
• Put voltage back and re-start compressor, checking through the open door that the rotation of airend is according to
arrow.
• Close the door properly.

After About 50 Hours of Operation It Is Compulsory To Re-Tight All Electrical Connections.

IN CASE OF SUBSTITUTION OF ELECTRIC MOTOR OR COMPRESSOR IS CHANGED OF LOCATION, IT IS

IMPERATIVE TO CHECK THE ROTATION OF AIREND AS ABOVE DESCRIBED BEFORE RE-STARTING
THE COMPRESSOR

Already during this phase, it is compulsory to follow very carefully the SAFETY INFORMATION on the usage of the
compressor.

* If the technician fill up the (R.C.R.) registration and commissioning report copy of which you can find at page 19 of
this manual, the possibility of a safer and more efficient operation of compressor unit is increased and eventual warranty
communication and decision will be more prompt.

MAINTENANCE

Before doing any operation inside the compressor:

• Press “stop” button, compressor will stop after an idling time of 2 minutes (settable, but cannot less than 2 minutes),
do not use the emergency stop button.
• Remove voltage by switching off the main automatic switch, wall mounted (and lock it).
• Shut off isolating valve between compressor and air receiver (if installed).
• Make sure that no compressed air is trapped inside the air compressor by checking on pressure gauge mounted on
separator tank.

Every day (or every 8 hours of work) it is recommended to carry out the following check by the user.

a) Check the oil level (if necessary top up with same type of oil through the oil filler plug, noting the quantity in the
maintenance diary). It is important also to check the state of oil (milky or dark) and to look for the eventual presence
of condense water at bottom of air/oil receiver.
b) Check the internal condition of compressor (inside canopy) for eventual leaks.
c) Check the loading and off loading pressure on the display and during idling condition beside the operating
temperature.

Every 2000 operating hours specialised personnel should carry out what follows:

d) Change air filter element.

e) Change cooling air pre-filtration panel (Advised to be cleaned by water every week.)
f) Change oil filter (Should be changed after first 500 operating hours.)
g) Change compressor oil.
h) Check for tightness all electrical connections (on electric panel and motor terminal).
i) Check differential pressure on air/oil separator element.
j) Check the tension and condition of V-belt.
k) Clean air/oil radiator.

* In case of operation in very dusty places such as (cement works, marble cutting, tiles manufacturing, etc...) and
/ or in high temperature environment such operations to change or clean must be carried out more frequently.

Every 3000 operating hours besides to do all operation of checking and maintenance from "d" to "k" specialised
personnel should carry out what follows:

l) Change air/oil separator element.

m) Check the correct operation of safety valve, tripping point of various protection devices such as temperature switch
and thermal overload (main motor and fan motor).
n) Check the state of wear of motor bearings and re-grease them if adequate nipples are fitted.

Every 6000 operating hours specialised personnel should carry out what follows:
o) Change compressor oil.

OVERHAULING
Every 18000 operating hours specialised personnel should carry out what follows:

p) Check state of air end bearings as well as oil shaft seal and act accordingly.
q) Change electric motor bearings.
r) Overhauling suction control valve, change solenoid valve and pressure switch.
s) Change oil thermostatic valve probe.
t) Change set of belts.

PRINCIPAL DIAGRAM

COMPRESSOR OPERATING DIAGRAM

• The motor starts in "star" connection. During such phase the compressor starts slowly, the solenoid valve is opened,
the suction control valve is closed.
• Compressor starts in this condition for 6 – 8 seconds (settable on star-delta timer).
• When this time has elapsed, motor changes into "delta" connection, the solenoid valve is energised and opening the
suction valve, the compressor can start pumping.
During this phase the compressor pumps air into air/oil receiver.
• Compressed air cannot go out through the minimum pressure valve until the pressure has reached 3 – 4 bar.
• The air pressure inside the air/oil receiver makes the oil to go through various pipes to the oil thermostatic valve, oil
cooler to air end.
• If operating temperature is below 71°C the oil coming from the oil receiver goes through oil thermostatic valve, oil
filter, the air end.
• If operating temperature is above 71°C the oil coming from the oil receiver is deviated by the thermostatic valve into
the oil cooler and then going through oil filter to the air end.
• The oil that reaches the air end is mixed with air during the compression making thus an air/oil mixture that lubricates
seal and cools all moving parts during compression.
• Air/oil mixture is then pushed into the air/oil receiver where it happens a first mechanical pre-separation of air from oil
and subsequently a final fine separation inside the air/oil separator element.
• From minimum pressure valve goes out then only air which goes through the after-cooler and subsequently goes to the
air receiver directly.
• The oil collected after the air/oil separator cartridge return into the air end by the scavenge line.
