1 DESCRIPTION
This is a 3 stage, 3 cylinder, air-cooled, oil-free compressor. The unit has been mechanically 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. 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.
