cost effective and environment friendly compared to replaceable cartridges. Consumables inside the cartridge
removes the oil, odor and water condensate from the compressed air. Purifier Cartridge should be replaced
frequently to prevent a loss in air quality. Compressor can work safely between -10 °C and 50 °C. Lower
temperatures may cause blockage, and higher temperatures may diminish purifier’s efficiency. There will also be
other factors that affect purifier’s life. We recommend to replace purifier cartridge every 50 running hours.
Condensate water in purifier should be drained with the manual drain valve after each cylinder is filled and
compressor is shut off.
Priority Valve:
It does not let the air go unless the inlet pressure of the purifier reaches a certain value (150 Bar). At this pressure
the filtration is much more efficient than any pressure.
CONSULT THE NEAREST ALKIN DEALER OR ALKIN FOR REPLACEMENT OR MAINTENANCE.
Check Valve:
It does not let the compressed air inside the purifier goes back to the stages and protects the compressor to run
under back pressure.
1.7 Description of Controls
1.7.1 Manual Start
Compressor can be started or stopped by pressing the start / stop button on the control panel.
1.7.2 Auto Stop
If the W31 Mariner is installed with a Pressure Switch, the compressor stops when pressure
reaches to the stop pressure set on the pressure switch.
1.7.3 Auto Drain
(For Auto Drain Models)
Springs in automatic drain valves are over the piston in high pressures and under the piston in low pressure
valves. Thus, the surface where low pressure acts on is larger than the surface where the high pressure
effectively acts on the piston. Therefore the force on the top is larger and causes the piston to sit and seal the
high pressure vent port. Automatic drain valves is controlled by a solenoid. It receives compressed air from
the 2nd stg. air inlet and sends it over 4 drain valves forcing them to stay closed. When the solenoid is de-
energized, it removes the control air on the top of the drain valve pistons, allows the high pressure acting
from the bottom of the pistons, to open and perform drain operation.
1.8 Installation
1.8.1 Inspection
The compressor should be inspected and checked for the following when received:
1.
Check if any damage exists during shipping, handling, etc.
2.
Check the compressor nameplate to verify the equipment confirms the working conditions.
3.
Check the electrical motor nameplate to verify the compliance with the available power and electrical
supply.
4.
Check the compressor if it is filled with oil or not.
5.
Check the purifier if the cartridge is installed or not.
6.
Check if the intake filter is installed.
