GNATUS BioQualyAir 40L, Installation And Maintenance Manual

6

Characteristic and operation

01 Electric Motor (head)

Responsible for the capitation of the external air directing the same to the interior 

of the reservoir.

02

Air input filter 

It serves to filter the air that is sucked of the external ambient and led until the 

reservoir.

In no hypothesis the compressor should work without this device, because this 

guarantees the air input exempt of impurity to the reservoir.

03 Air input plastic tube 

Should be always coupled to the filter of air input (item 02) whose function is to

attenuate the noise caused by air suction.

04 Metallic hose 

Built in highly resistant material and flexible, it leads the motor air (head) until the 

reservoir.

05 Pressostat 

It is a pressure measuring instrument used as system component of equipment 
protection. Its basic function is to protect the integrity of the compressor against 
overpressure or underpressure applied to the same during your operation.

5a On / Off Key 

Located at the top of pressostat, it serves to connect or disconnect the compressor.

06 Air reservoir 

Local where the compressed air is deposited.

07 Air reservoir manometer 

It indicates the pressure value inside the air reservoir.

08 Safety valve (pressure relief)

They are recommended for use with liquids, compressed air or even some inert gases.

Its function is to go in operation only when there is fault in the pressostat.

In case the pressure inside the reservoir reaches levels above of the maximum 

allowed in project, the safety valve opens releasing the air and causing the relief 

of the internal pressure.

09 Pressure regulator manometer

It indicates the pressure in the air output 

10 Air output slide valve 

Responsible for releasing the reservoir compressed air for your use.
