BOTTLE FILLING
Filling hoses must be in satisfactory condition and threads undamaged. Pay particular attention to damage
on the interface from hose fitting to hose. If the rubber is scored, hose must be discarded otherwise water
can enter and attack wire gauze casing it to rust and thus endangering pressure tightness
Only use accredited air bottle with pressure indication.
1.
Test run
•
Open the oil vapor drain valve and condensate drain valve for free loading, connect air bottle and
compressor outlet with flex hose. Turn off the charging valve.
•
Start up the compressor and wait for the equipment to be stabilized.
•
When it is stabilized, turn off the oil vapor drain valve and condensate drain valve for the pump to begin
pressurize. When the pressure reaches the rating pressure, the safety valve will be triggered.
•
Safety valve is mounted on the purification filter while pressure gauge is mounted on the oil vapor separator.
There are 2 drain valves which manually drain after every refill operation.
•
The compressor fills air bottle under 12L. Longtime continually running is not suggested, because it may
results in temperature rising, parts damaged and the machine life shortened.
•
Check the pressure gauge and if any abnormalities are observed, stop the equipment for inspection.
2.
Connect the charging hose to the air bottle
•
Use only certified high pressure cylinder. Maximum pressure must not be higher than cylinder safety working
pressure.
•
Check and ensure that the charging hose are in perfect condition without any signs of damage.
•
Note that the adaptor needs to be closed.
•
Open the condensate drain valve for free loading for a few minutes. After it runs well for a few minutes, turn
off the drain valve and open the charging valve.
3.
When the cylinder is charged to the expected pressure value, stop the equipment and cut the power supply.
Close the charging valve.
4.
After stopping the equipment, open the oil vapor separator drain valve immediately to depressurize.
5.
After the release of high pressure air in the changing hose, remove the charged gas cylinder.
Open the drain valves to purge high pressure gas and condensate after every refill operation
