COMPRESSOR
OVERVIEW
This manual is intended to provide all necessary information and documentation pertinent to the
installation, operation, and maintenance of the RIX compressor family 2V3B-4.1V—models 2V3B-
4.1V-P1A, 2V3B-4.1V-P1B, 2V3B-4.1V-P1C, & 2V3B-4.1V-P1E. Ensure all operators of this
compressor package read and understand the entire manual prior to installation, operation, and/or
servicing. All servicing shall be performed only by trained and qualified personnel.
1.1
DESCRIPTION
This is a 3 stage, 3 cylinder, air-cooled, oil-free compressor. The unit has been designed for the
compression of dry oxygen
to the pressures indicated on the registration page of this manual.
1.2
GAS
COMPRESSION
This compressor is designed to safely compress without cylinder oil lubrication. Teflon based
piston rings are used in all stages. The compression cylinders are isolated from the crankcase
lubricating oil by crosshead distance pieces and metal slingers on the piston rods.
1.3
GAS
FLOW
Gas entering at the suction of the first stage is successively compressed through three stages to
provide the final discharge pressure. After each stage of compression the gas is cooled in a heat
exchanger by ambient air. A flow schematic shows the gas flow in more detail.
1.4
COOLING
Due to the heat created by compression, it is necessary to cool the compressed gas after each stage
of compression. A cooling fan pulls air through the inter/aftercooler assembly and then routes the
air towards the compression cylinders.
1.5
CRANKCASE
LUBRICATION
The entire crankcase assembly including guide cylinders is splash lubricated with automotive type
oil.
