6. In case the device is a compressor, the aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapors and
particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
7. In case the device is a compressor, arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannot
be drawn in.
8. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand under
heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.
10. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This machine is
remotely controlled and may start without warning.
The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and depressurized and that the electrical
isolating switch is open, locked and labelled with a temporary warning before any maintenance or
repair. As a further safeguard, persons switching on or off remotely controlled machines shall take
adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one checking or working on the machine. To this end,
a suitable notice shall be affixed to the start equipment.
11. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is available
and that the exhausted air does not recirculate to the compressor air inlet or cooling air inlet.
12. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines must be earthed
and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power isolating switch must be
installed near the compressor.
13. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function after voltage failure
is activated, a sign stating "This machine may start without warning" must be affixed near the
instrument panel.
14. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each compressor. Nonreturn valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure systems.
15. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the machine. Every
pressure vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure
must be protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.

Instruction book

12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function
properly. They may not be put out of action.
16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and
that they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shaft
has been reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oil
separator vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from
entering them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the
bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged,
replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from
increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
21. Only if applicable, the following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
Never inhale refrigerant vapors. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if
required, use breathing protection.
Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin with
water. If liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter;
flush abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; then
seek medical first aid.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and
Safety precautions during operation.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the
application which are not included herein.

bodywork and removes moisture from the compressed air.
Connections
This compressor can be provided on the compressed air outlet and water pipes with:
ANSI flanges
DIN flanges
Motor temperature protection
PT1000s are embedded in the windings and/or bearings of the drive motor to warn the operator if the
temperature becomes too high and to shut down the compressor, thereby protecting the motor from

Instruction book

SPM monitoring
A number of vibration sensors are provided on the drive motor and compressor elements. The readings can
be called up on the display of the Elektronikon regulator.
High ambient temperature (HAT)
The compressor is specially designed for continuous operation under humid and high ambient temperature
conditions. The maximum ambient temperature is 50C (122F).
Anchor pads
Steel plates, fitting in the forklift slots, and bolts are shipped loose with the compressor. With these plates
and bolts, the compressor frame can be fixed to the floor.
Anti-condensation heaters
Electric heaters are installed in the motor windings and connected to the compressor cubicle. When the
compressor is stopped, the heaters are automatically switched on. The heaters in the motor will prevent
condensation during stand-still.
PDP sensor
The pressure dewpoint of the compressed air leaving the IMD dryer is continuously shown on the display
of the Elektronikon regulator. This allows to monitor the performance of the dryer and to make sure that
the compressed air is dry enough for the application.
Low load compensator
The low load installation allows the dryer to be operated in low load conditions of the compressor. At these
conditions (compressor in unload) the pressure dewpoint is maintained by purging a small amount of
heated, dryed air through the rotor of the dryer.
The low load compensator is needed when the load cycle of the compressor is below 40 %.
Full-Feature ND
The Z Full-Feature ND compressor has an integrated heat of compression rotary drum dryer. The
regeneration air passes over a heater. The heater maintains a preset regeneration temperature to have a
guaranteed dew point at stated conditions. A thermostatic control puts on the heater and shuts it off
automatically based on the regeneration temperature requirements.
Smartbox
When ordering the compressor, it is possible (except for Japan and Korea) to choose the free SMARTBOX
option which is mounted in the electrical cabinet. The SMARTBOX allows read-out of the compressor
parameters on a login-protected web site called SMARTLINK. The connected antenna is mounted on the
outside of the electrical cabinet. Refer to the Smartbox and Smartlink section.
Kit for purge air during stand-still
When frequent and long standstills occur, it is recommended to install a kit for purge of dry air to guarantee
the life time of the oil-free screw elements. During standstill, condensation (which triggers corrosion)
might occur. This results in an expected element lifetime reduction or even a compressor stage blocking

22

2920 1849 00

Instruction book

during standstill. Condensation is prevented by blowing a small amount of dry air through the small gap
between rotor-rotor and rotor-housing once the compressor is stopped. To avoid long standstills, regular
starting can be programmed in the Elektronikon controller or by a central Atlas Copco ES controller.

Air flow
Air drawn through filter (100) is compressed in low-pressure compressor element (104) and discharged to
intercooler (108). The cooled air is further compressed in high-pressure compressor element (111) and
discharged through silencer (112) and aftercoolers (116). A check valve (115) is provided downstream of
the silencer (112).
The wet air from the aftercooler (116) enters water separator (117) via the nozzle of ejector (211). In
demister (212), the water droplets are removed from the air. The air is then led through rotor, which
adsorbs the water vapor.
The compressed air leaves the compressor via the air outlet (2).
Regenerating circuit of the dryer
Hot regeneration air is branched off from the aftercooler (116). The regeneration air passes through shutoff valve (115), throttle valve (223) and strainer, and is blown through the wet rotor channels.
The hot saturated air is then cooled down in the regeneration air cooler. The regeneration air is then mixed
with the wet compressed air from the compressor aftercooler (116).

2.3

Elektronikon regulated drain (ERD)

Description
The drain consists of a capacitive sensor which is incorporated in the drain collector and of a pilot valve
which is placed outside the drain collector. A drain opening delay timer is started when the collector is
filled up to the level of the capacitive sensor. As long as the delay timer is running, extra condensate will
be collected and the level will rise even higher than the position of the sensor. As soon as the delay timer
has expired, the pilot valve (normally open) is deactivated and the diaphragm opens the outlet, discharging
the condensate. From the moment that the sensor is not detecting any condensate anymore, a drain closing
delay timer is started. The pilot valve will still drain the condensate during the run of this timer to make
sure that the remaining amount of condensate is drained. The pilot valve is activated when the timer has
expired, the outlet closes quickly without wasting compressed air.

Drain receiver

If the controller detects water in the intercooler or aftercooler drain receiver for too long a period, a
shutdown is generated. If water is detected on the integrated dryer drain receiver for too long a period, a
warning is generated.
The level switch is a capacitive sensor which generates a high signal when no water is present. The
solenoid valves of the intercooler and aftercooler/integrated dryer drains are different. The solenoid valve
of the intercooler drain has a high flow but cannot handle high pressures. The solenoid valve on the
aftercooler/integrated dryer drains has less flow but can handle higher pressures. It is not allowed to open
the valves as they can loose their set point. Special attention must be paid to the correct wiring of the
different level switches and solenoid valves.
The output of the level switch can be called up on the screen of the Elektronikon regulator. The reading
does not indicate whether the solenoid valve is open or closed, but indicates whether the level switch is
detecting water in the collector. Since there is a drain opening delay timer, the display on the Elektronikon
can show "Condensate Drain IC Open", while the solenoid valve is still closed. Changes to the
Elektronikon settings are not allowed. The "Always pressurized" bit must be activated on aftercooler and
integrated dryer drains. On the intercooler it is not allowed to activate this bit.
A functionality test is possible through the Elektronikon regulator. By performing this test, all solenoid
valves will be opened for a short time (e.g. 15 seconds). Refer to the Elektronikon chapter for more details.

2.4

Oil system
Refer to the topic Air flow for flow diagrams.
On ZR compressors, oil is circulated by pump (131) from the sump (130) of the gear casing to cooler
(132). From there, the oil flows through filter (133) towards the bearings and timing gears.
On ZT compressors, oil is circulated by pump (131) from the sump (130) of the gear casing to cooler (132).
Then, the oil flows through the cooling jackets of compressor elements (104 and 111). From there, the oil
flows through filter (133) towards the bearings and timing gears.

2.5

Cooling system

Cooling system, ZR compressors


Refer to the topic Air flow for flow diagrams.
The cooling system has two circuits:
One for the oil cooler (132) and the cooling jackets of both compressor elements (104).
One for intercooler (108) and aftercooler (116).
Full-Feature compressors have an extra cooling circuit for the regeneration cooler of the integrated dryer.
Cooling system, ZT compressors
The compressors are provided with an air-cooled oil cooler (132), intercooler (108), pre-aftercooler (116b)
and aftercooler (116). An electric motor-driven fan (150) generates the cooling air.
Full-Feature compressors have an additional regeneration air cooler; the cooling air for this cooler is
generated by an extra fan (153a).

2.6

Energy recovery

General

2920 1849 00

31

Instruction book

The system recovers the major part of the compression heat. The percentage of shaft input power available
for recovery is between 80 and 95, depending on the operating conditions.
If an MD dryer is installed downstream of the compressor, this percentage is reduced to approx. 70 of the
shaft input instead of approx. 90, as part of the heat in the compressed air is used for regeneration in the
drying process.
A complete energy recovery system includes:
Compressor with modified cooling system (ZR)
A pump unit (PU) to transfer the recovered energy from the compressor cooling system to the heat
consumer (HC)
The heat consumer (HC), i.e. the equipment to transfer the energy to the industrial process
Modified cooling water system
The compressor cooling system has been modified to achieve both high cooling water temperatures and
sufficient cooling for the compressor.
The cooling water enters the oil cooler and then flows through the high-pressure compressor element, the
low-pressure compressor element and finally the intercooler and the aftercooler. This sequence ensures
optimal temperature differences with relation to the heat transfer in the individual components.
On Full-Feature compressors, additional connections are provided for the water circuit of the additional
aftercooler and the cooler of the IMD dryer. To ensure that the IMD dryer works properly, low-temperature
cooling water should be used for this cooling water circuit. The heat of this cooling water circuit is not
recovered by the energy recovery system.
Pump unit

32

2920 1849 00

Instruction book

Atlas Copco supplies pump units to transfer the energy recovered from the compressor to the heat
consumer (HC). The pump unit constitutes a closed water circuit with the compressor cooling system.
Two water pumps (WP1/2) are fitted. One pump circulates the hot cooling water from the compressor
through the heat consumer and back to the compressor. The other is a stand-by pump. Check valves
(CV1/2) at the delivery side of the pumps prevent backflow of water in the stand-by pump. The pump unit
is fitted with a make-up water connection, an air trap with automatic de-aeration device (AT), a pressure
and temperature gauge (PI and TI), a safety valve (SV) and an expansion tank (ET).
Cooling water requirements
Closed recirculating water systems minimize make-up water requirements. Therefore, it is economically
feasible to use softened water to eliminate the problem of scaling deposits.
Corrosion control is important. The best results are obtained by adding corrosion inhibitors as used in
engine cooling systems.
Using anti-freeze products is an alternative solution to avoid problems, e.g. adding 20 % to 30 % ethyleneglycol based anti-freeze to the tap water.
For open cooling water systems (e.g. boiler feed water preparation), consult the Atlas Copco Customer
Centre to avoid problems related to deposit control, corrosion control and microbiological growth control.
Water flow regulation through heat exchangers
Depending on the amount of energy transferred in the heat consumer (HC), the heat exchanger (HE) of the
pump unit is completely or partly by-passed by means of a thermostatic valve (RV2). The valve is normally
adjusted to achieve a cooling water temperature of 40 C (corresponding to the maximum allowable
temperature at the compressor inlet). It is advisable to adjust the setting of the valve as close as possible to
the temperature of the cooling water returning from the heat consumer (HC).
Depending on the amount of energy transferred in the heat consumer (HC), the heat exchanger (HE) of the
pump unit is completely or partly by-passed by means of a thermostatic valve (RV2). The valve is normally
adjusted to achieve a cooling water temperature of 104 F (corresponding to the maximum allowable
temperature at the compressor inlet). It is advisable to adjust the setting of the valve as close as possible to
the temperature of the cooling water returning from the heat consumer (HC).
Sufficient low-temperature cooling water must be available for the heat exchanger to achieve a water
temperature that does not exceed 40 C/104 F.
Electrical system
The pumps (WP1 and WP2) are driven by an electric motor. Each motor is equipped with manual starting
equipment including a circuit breaker.
The first time it is started, check that the rotation direction matches the direction indicated by the arrows on
the motor flanges. If necessary, stop the unit, switch off the voltage and reverse two incoming electric
lines.
Important remarks
Compressed air quality and reliability of any compressor, dryer or other equipment should never be made
subordinate to the energy recovery system. In some cases, especially installations where air dryers are
installed, an additional aftercooler is required to reduce the compressor air outlet temperature to a level at
which the dryers operate at maximum efficiency. This aftercooler and the dryer (if water-cooled) need to
be cooled separately by low-temperature water. Consult the Atlas Copco Customer Centre.

2920 1849 00

33

Instruction book

The general temperature level of compressors with a modified cooling system for energy recovery is
approx. 20 to 25 C (68 to 77 F) higher than the level of compressors with a standard cooling system,
resulting in a slight decrease in free air delivery and a slight increase in shaft power.
In case the compressors operate in high ambient temperatures and with high water inlet temperatures, the
maximum working pressure is 0.5 bar (7.25 psi) lower than for standard compressors. Consult the Atlas
Copco Customer Centre.

Using the low load installation will allow the dryer to operate in low load conditions of the compressor. At
these conditions (compressor in unload) the PDP is maintained by purging a small amount of heated, dryed
air through the rotor (4).
This is needed when the load cycle is below 40 % (consult your Atlas Copco Customer Centre).

Description

Install the compressor on a level floor suitable for taking the weight of the compressor.
Recommended minimum distance between the top of the bodywork and the ceiling:
1200 mm (46.80 in).

Remove the plastic plug or cap (if provided) from the compressor air outlet pipe and
install an air outlet valve. Close the valve and connect it to the air net.

The pressure drop over the delivery pipe can be calculated as follows:
dp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x P)
dp = pressure drop (recommended maximum = 0.1 bar)
L = length of outlet pipe in m
d = inner diameter of the delivery pipe in mm
P = absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
Qc = free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
The connection of the compressor air delivery pipe should be made on top of the main
air net pipe to minimize carry-over of possible remainder of condensate.

The inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that any
recirculation of cooling air to the compressor is avoided.
The air velocity to the grids should be limited to 5 m/s (195 in/s).
The required ventilation capacity (per compressor installed) to limit the compressor
room temperature can be calculated as follows:
On ZR compressors: Qv = 0.1 N / dT
On ZT compressors: Qv = 0.92 N/ dT
Qv = required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = shaft input of the compressor in kW
dT = temperature rise over ambient in C
If cooling air ducts are installed, the maximum allowable pressure drop over the ducts is
30 Pa. Common ducting for several compressors is not allowed.

Lay out the drain piping from automatic condensate outlets (EWD) towards the
condensate collector. The drain pipes must not dip into the water of the collector. It is
recommended to provide a funnel to allow visual inspection of the condensate flow.

Elektronikon control system with control panel.

See Electric cables for the recommended cable size of the supply cables. Check that
the electrical connections correspond to the local codes. The installation must be
earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. An isolating switch
must be installed near the compressor.

Provide a condensate drain valve in the lowest part of the pipe between the compressor
outlet valve and the air net.

Remove the plastic plugs (if provided) from the compressor water pipes and connect the
pipes to the cooling water circuit. Provide a valve in the compressor water inlet pipe and
outlet pipe.

Do's and don'ts


The supplied compensators are NOT designed:
to carry the weight of the mounted customer pipe end.
to work as a damper for unanchored pipe ends.
to carry the thrust forces of the compressed air.
Therefore, adequate supporting and anchoring of the customer pipe end should be foreseen to avoid
compensator damage.

2920 1849 00

87

Instruction book

The compensator loads (Fg and Ft) that are mentioned on the drawing are strictly forbidden:
Weight loads Fg
Thrust forces Ft

For the design of piping and supporting structures, use an approved standard code (e.g. EN 13480 or
ASME 16.5/B31.3).
Mind that the connected pipe at customer side does not create any flow restriction
caused by e.g. section reduction.

While installing the compensator, please mind the following check points to avoid sealing damage.

88

2920 1849 00

Instruction book

Situation

Description

Flat DIN flanges prevent damage of the rubber sealings.

Collared flanges prevent premature wear.

Add a flat sealing or if necessary a metal disc with flat seal in case of damage risk.

Avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to the bended pipes or the sealings.

Rubber sealings will get damaged when the inner pipe diameter exceeds the inner sealing
diameter.

Rough pipe ends will damage the rubber sealing.

Avoid contact between the pipe end and the rubber sealing.

Cooling water requirements

Recommendations
The cooling water quality must meet certain minimum requirements.
No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds,
solids and gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials.
Only non-treated water must be used.
This recommendation is a general guide line for acceptable coolant quality.
Type of system
It is important to define the used cooling water system:
an open system
a closed system
In a closed system, the same cooling water circulates through a system without contact with air.
An open system is a pass-through system, or a circulating system with a cooling tower. In the latter case,
the composition of the water that enters the compressor must be considered, and not the composition of the
make-up water. Due to the evaporative effect in the cooling tower, much higher concentrations of ions can
be obtained in the circulating water than in the make-up water.
Ryznar Stability Index (RSI)
The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI) is a parameter for predicting whether water will tend to dissolve or
precipitate calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling deposits and their effect are different on different
materials, but the equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is only determined by its actual pH value
and by the saturation pH value (pHs).
The saturation pH value is determined by the relationship between the calcium hardness, the total
alkalinity, the total solids concentration and the temperature.
The Ryznar Stability Index is calculated as follows :
RSI = 2*pHs - pH
Symbol

Explanation

pH

Measured pH (at room temperature) of water sample

pHs

pH at saturation

The pHs is calculated by using :


pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D)
Symbol

Explanation

Depends on the total solids concentration (mg/l)

Depends on the highest cooling water temperature (C/F), (T=65 C/149 F)

Depends on the calcium hardness (ppm CaCO3)

Depends on the HCO3- concentration or M-alkalinity (mval/l)

The RSI only indicates the equilibrium of scaling - descaling. A cooling water showing good RSI
conditions can still be unsuitable due to other factors.
From the table above, the RSI index should be between 5.6 and 7.5; if not, consult your local Atlas Copco
Customer Centre.
pH
The effect of pH is already calculated in the Ryznar index, but the pH itself has some additional
limitations : 6.8 < pH < 8.5
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
This is the sum of all the ions in the water. It can be derived from the dry residue after evaporation (but not
including suspended solids), or it can be estimated from the electrical conductivity.
In a closed system, the following limits apply : TDS < 3000 mg/l (< 3800 microS/cm)
For an open system, the following limits apply : TDS < 750 mg/l ( < 960 microS/cm)
Chlorides (Cl-)
Chloride ions will create pitting corrosion on stainless steel. Their concentration should be limited:
Closed cooling system : chlorides < 500 ppm
Open cooling system : chlorides < 150 ppm
However, if the water is scaling, lower limits should be used. (See The Ryznar stability index (RSI)).
Free chlorine (Cl2)
A level of 0.5 ppm should not be exceeded for long periods.
For shock treatments, a maximum limit of 2 ppm for maximum 30 minutes/day applies.
Sulphates (SO4--)
Closed cooling system : sulphates < 400 ppm
Open cooling system : sulphates < 150 ppm

Adjustment of the pressure difference of the dryer compartments
1. Start and load the compressor
2. Check the rotation direction of the dryer motor, the correct rotation direction is indicated by an arrow
on the motor housing.
3. Close valves 1 and 2. Fill a transparent tube halfway with water. Install the tube to the valves. Open
the valve marked (-), slightly open the valve marked (+), while watching the water levels in the Utube.
Two conditions are possible:
The water level in the leg marked (+) rises. Close the valve at once, decrease the regeneration air
inlet pressure as described in step 4. Do this as often as necessary, until the water level drops.
The water in the leg marked (-) rises, which should normally be the case. If the level in this leg
rises 30 mm (1.17 in) above the level in the leg marked (+), close the valve at once as there is a
risk that the water will be ejected from the U-tube and dissappear into the pressure vessel.
Increase the regeneration air inlet pressure as described in step 4 and open the valve again.
4. Once the water column has stabilized, adjust the pressure difference as follows:
Remove the protecting cap from the adjusting screw.
