AIR CARE SEMINAR TRAINING

Sullair Air Care Seminars are courses that provide hands-on instruction in the proper operation, maintenance
and service of Sullair equipment. Individual seminars on Industrial compressors and compressor electrical
systems are presented at regular intervals throughout the year at a dedicated training facility at Sullair's corporate
headquarters in Michigan City, Indiana.

Instruction includes discussion of the function and installation of Sullair service parts, troubleshooting of the
most common problems, and actual equipment operation. The seminars are recommended for Maintenance
and Contractor Maintenance and Service Personnel.

DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Your new Sullair flood-lubricated rotary screw air
compressor will provide you with a unique experience in
improved reliability and simplified maintenance.
Compared to other types of compressors, the Sullair rotary
screw is unique in mechanical reliability, with "no wear"
and "no inspection" required of the working parts within the
compressor unit.
Read MAINTENANCE on page 61 to see how
surprisingly easy it is to keep your air compressor in top
operating condition.

When a relatively small amount or no air is being used, the
service line pressure continues to rise. When it exceeds
106 psig (7.3 bar), or alternatively set unload pressure, the
WS control system de-energizes the solenoid valve
allowing receiver tank air pressure to be supplied directly
to close the inlet valve. Simultaneously, the solenoid valve
sends a pneumatic signal to the blow down valve. The
blowdown valve opens to the atmosphere, reducing the
receiver tank pressure. The check valve in the air service
line prevents line pressure from returning to the receiver
tank . The compressor will shut down after the unload time

When the line pressure drops to the low setting pressure
of 100 psig (6.9 bar) The WS Controller starts the motor
and energizes the solenoid valve which closes the blow
down valve. The re-energized solenoid valve prevents line
pressure from reaching the inlet control valve, thereby
allowing it to fully open, and the compressor again delivers
compressed air to the system.
