System Description
The Polar Air compressor is highly efficient
and provides reliable performance with low
wear parts, low vibration and quiet
operation. An electric motor, which is
controlled by a Programmable Logistical
Controller (PLC), runs the compressor and
is actuated with a belt drive system. The belt
drive system utilizes pulleys to
Connect the motor to the main rotor shaft, or
a direct-drive coupling system.
Air Process
Air enters the system through the suction
valve which has an air/suction filter to
remove dust. The air is mixed with the
lubricating oil and flows into the air/oil
separator tank. It passes through an air/oil
separator filter then through a minimum
pressure check valve. Air then passes
through an air cooled after cooler then into
storage tank.
Lubrication Process
Pressure in the oil/air separator presses
lubricating oil into the oil cooler. The oil is
cooled and filtered then divided into two
parts. One part is injected into the
compression chamber from the lower end of
the rotary compressor body to cool the
compressed air. The other part passes
through the two ends of the compressor
body and is used to lubricate internal roller
bearings of rotary compressor pump and
gear drive. The two parts meet at the bottom
of the compression chamber and are drained
out with the compressed air.
System Components
PLC (Programmable Logistical
Controller)
The PLC is the compressor controller
and has a display screen for system
information. The electric circuitry of the
PLC can be divided into two systems.
One is for the starting panel to configure
Y Delta starting. The other is for internal
computer controls and is explained in
more detail in the PLC manual. If there
is
any
failure, contact Polar Air service
department.
Refer to figure 8 for explanation of
buttons.
Maintenance Notifications
Six automatic maintenance notifications
are built into the Polar Air compressor
system designed to signify when
maintenance is due for certain
components. The user is notified by a
message displayed on the control panel.
Refer to the following chart for the
components that have automatic
maintenance notifications and their
factory set lifetimes.
