9 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
W A R N I N G :
-
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH MAINTENANCE ON THE COMPRESSOR IT MUST BE STOPPED AND
ISOLATED ELECTRICALLY AND MECHANICALLY AND VISIBLE WARNING NOTICES DISPLAYED.
IN ADDITION ALL INTERNAL PRESSURE MUST BE RELEASED WITH THE UNIT ISOLATED FROM
THE SUPPLY AND STORAGE RESERVOIR AND THE WATER SUPPLY SHUT OFF.
NOTE:-
An O&M manual must cater for a wide variety of operating duties, ambient conditions and methods of
control, as well as the use of mineral or synthetic lubricants. The following maintenance schedules are
only a recommended guide to maintenance periods. It may be found advantageous or desirable to
vary the maintenance periods depending on operating conditions and experience.
9.1 GENERAL
It is useful to record pressure, temperatures, oil used etc. in a log against hours run, as this builds up a
detailed record of the machine's condition. It can also give an indication of impending problems.
9.2 DAILY
Check oil level in crankcase and top up if necessary.
Check stage pressures, oil pressure and temperatures.
9.3 WEEKLY
Check for oil, air or water leaks, rectify if necessary.
Check sump oil for emulsification of any water. Determine cause and rectify.
Check correct operation of all controls.
Check all nuts, screws and fittings for tightness.
9.4 AFTER THE FIRST 100 HOURS RUNNING TIME ON MINERAL OIL
Change oil filter. If changing to synthetic lubricant, follow directions below.
9.5 CHANGING OVER FROM MINERAL TO SYNTHETIC LUBRICANT
Compressor components in contact with the lubricant should be as clean as is practical before changing
over. This is necessitated by the excellent solvency of synthetic oils which tend to loosen and remove
existing deposits.
Drain the old mineral lubricant completely whilst the oil is warm.
Thoroughly clean interior of the crankcase. Clean suction strainer.
Renew oil filter.
Remove, thoroughly clean and refit all valves.
When inspecting valves, also remove as far as is possible carbon deposits in valve pockets,
passageways, pipes and separators.
