-- 5) TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION --
This unit, like the entire MDVN range is an oil injection screw mobile motorized
compressor, single-stage and silenced.
The motor is of internal combustion type, and runs on gas oil, and transmits
power to the compressor by means of an elastic joint positioned co-axially between the
two.
-- 5.1) CHASSIS AND AXLE
--
The chassis is made from contoured and electrowelded metal sheet and is of
load-bearing type. This chassis undergoes two painting treatments which guarantee
corrosion resistance and rust-proofing.
In the chassis there is the control panel which is protected by a transparent
polycarbonate lid and which allows the compressed air pressure and the compressor oil
temperature values to be read and allows a visual control of the warning lights each of
which will indicate any anomalies of the machine element to which it is connected.
A sprung axle of large dimensions supports the machine weight. It also has a
drawbar which can be fitted with hook and eyelet or sphere type. It consists of articulated,
elements which permit correct attachment to the various pulling means.
To tow the motor-driven compressor on the road it must be of homologated
version fitted for towing complete with lighting system, headlights and licence plate,
braking system and relative authorization from the "Motorization" department.
The braking system includes the parking brake and the inertia braking system.
Both act on the wheel-carrier drums of the axle.
-- 5.2) BODY
--
The body is built entirely out of galvanized sheet iron. It can easily be turned
over thanks to a gas hoist and thus allows convenient access to the main machine
elements. The whole machine is entirely lined with sound absorbent and fire-retardant
material.
Special holes have been created in the elements forming the body, complete
with baffles, which allow the cool air necessary for engine and compressor cooling to be
sucked in from one side and the heated air to be expelled from the other side. These
baffles have been carefully designed in terms of size and shape so as to allow the most
efficient internal ventilation of the machine: it is advisable, therefore, to make sure that
these openings are kept free and undamaged.
All the parts of the body have been treated with a special painting process which
guarantees excellent finishing quality together with maximum impact and rust resistance.
