On automatic drain controlled mariner and canopy compressors water condensate in water separators and prefilter is drained automatically
by automatic drain valves. Time Period and duration for openning these drain valves are set by a timer. This timer allows to make dual
time adjustments for both functions. Factory setting is to open every 7 minutes for 6 seconds.
Draining the condensate inside the purifier manually after each filling process is extremely important for getting
good quality of breathing air and the life of the consumables inside the purifier cartrdige.
W32 Mariner Compressors are manually operated by its start/stop switches on the electric motor.
W32 Mariner with Automatic Start/Stop and W32 Canopy models have a pressure switch which promises the compressor stops and
restarts between the lower and upper pressure limits.
Compressor oil level could be seen from the oil level sight glasses placed on both sides of the crankcase. As W32
Series are forced lubircated compressors oil pressure could be checked also from the Oil Pressure Gauge. Oil
pressure should be from 4 to 10 Bar.
1.8 Descriptions of Controls
1.8.1 Start/Stop Controls
W32 Series compressors can be operated by 2 different controls.
I. Manual Start/Stop
W32 Series compressors can be manually controlled by pressing the start/stop switches on the electric motor.
II. Automatic Start/Stop
W32 Series compressors can be controlled by a pressure switch to automatically stop and restart at the upper and
lower pressure limits. Pressure switches cuts off the electric motor control when the compressor reaches the
adjusted upper pressure. When the presssure drops to the adjusted lower pressure the pressure switch cuts in to
restart the compressor.
Note
Automatic Start/Stop is standard on all W32 Canopy models
.
It could be adapted to
W32
Mariner Electric
models as an optional feature while it is not applicable to W32 Mariner
compressors driven by petrol engine
