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.

Description
Air drawn through the filter (AF) is compressed in the low-pressure compressor element (El).
On ZR compressors, the compressed air is discharged to the intercooler (Ci).
The cooled air is further compressed in the high-pressure compressor element (Eh) and
discharged through the silencer (AS) and aftercooler (Ca).
On ZR/ZT 110 up to ZR/ZT 275, a check valve (CV) is fitted downstream of the silencer.
The compressed air leaves the compressor via the air outlet (AO).

Condensate drain
Two moisture traps are installed: one downstream of the intercooler (MTi) to prevent condensate
from entering compressor element (Eh) and one downstream of the aftercooler (MTa) to prevent
condensate from entering the air outlet pipe.
On ZR/ZT 110 up to ZR/ZT 275, the moisture traps are connected to an ERD, see section
Elektronikon Regulated Drain.
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.

Instruction book
Reference Description
1 Solenoid valve
2 Connector
3 Sensor
4 Bushing
5 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.

OF Oil filter
OP Oil pump
Description
Oil is circulated by pump (OP) from the sump of the gear casing through cooler (Co).
The oil passes through oil filter (OF) towards the bearings and timing gears.
By-pass valve (BV) opens if the oil pressure should rise above a given value.
General
The regulator keeps the net pressure within programmable pressure limits by automatically
loading and unloading the compressor depending on the air consumption.
AIF999999 19
Instruction book
During unloading
If the air consumption is less than the air delivery of the compressor, the net pressure increases.
When the net pressure reaches the upper limit of the working pressure (unloading pressure),
solenoid valve (Y1) is de-energised. The plunger of solenoid valve (Y1) moves by spring force
shutting off the control air supply to unloader (UA).
Phase Description
1 Control pressure is vented from chamber (1) of unloader (UA) through solenoid valve
(Y1) and chamber (3) towards the inlet of compressor element (El).
2 As there is no longer any pressure difference between chambers (1 and 3), plunger (2)
returns by spring force keeping full-load/no-load valve (TV) closed and unloading valve
(UV) open.
3 Compressed air between check valve (CV) and valve (UV) is blown off through silencer
(US). Check valve (CV) closes.
4 As vacuum prevails in intercooler (Ci), diaphragm (4) switches to the left.
20 AIF999999
Instruction book
During loading
When the net pressure decreases to the lower limit of the working pressure (loading pressure),
solenoid valve (Y1) is energised. The plunger of solenoid valve (Y1) moves against the spring
force opening the control air supply port to unloader (UA).
Phase Description
1 Atmospheric pressure is allowed through solenoid valve (Y1) to chamber (1) of unloader
(UA). As this pressure is higher than the pressure in chamber (3), full-load/no-load valve
(TV) starts opening.
2 Intercooler pressure is building up causing diaphragm (4) to switch to the right. As the
pressure difference between chambers (1 and 3) increases, plunger (2) moves further
against the spring force until full-load/no-load valve (TV) is fully open and unloading
valve (UV) closed.
General
The machine comes with an Elektronikon Touch controller which has an internal connectivity
device. The Touch controller allows read-out of a number of parameters of the machine on a user
login-protected web site called SMARTLINK. The Touch controller has an integrated antenna.

Introduction
The controller has the following functions:
• Controlling the unit
• Protecting the unit
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)
A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into
account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the unit.
24 AIF999999
Instruction book
Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning level is a programmable level below the shutdown level.
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shutdown warning level, a message will
appear on the display and the general alarm LED will light up to warn the operator before the
shutdown level is reached.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.
When the shutdown warning is shown, press stop button to stop the unit and wait until the unit
has stopped. Switch off the voltage, inspect the unit and remedy if necessary. The warning
message will disappear as soon as the warning condition disappears.
Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped as a Service Plan. Each Service Plan has a
programmed time interval. If the service timer exceeds a programmed value, this will be indicated
on the display to warn the operator to carry out the service actions belonging to that Service Plan.
When the service warning is shown, stop the unit, switch off the voltage and carry out the
required service actions. See section Preventive Maintenance.
If the function is activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation
mode, the unit will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored.
The ARAVF label shall be glued near to the controller.

Description
The compressor must only be moved or lifted as described in the section Initial start-up.
1. Install the compressor on a level floor suitable for taking its weight. The recommended
minimum distance between the top of the body and the ceiling is 1200 mm (47 in).
2. Remove the plastic plug (if provided) from the compressor air outlet pipe and install an air
outlet valve. Close the valve and connect it to the air net.
3. The maximum total length of the air delivery pipe can be calculated as follows:
For British/American Units:
Lmax= (1470 x d5 x p x dp) / Qc1.85
Symbol Explanation
d Inner diameter of the outlet pipe in inch
dp Pressure drop (recommended maximum = 1.45 psi)
L Length of outlet pipe in ft
p Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in psi(g)
Qc Free air delivery of the compressor in cfm
It is strongly recommended to make the connection of the compressor air outlet pipe on top
of the main air net pipe in order to minimize carry-over of possible condensate residue.
As a rule of thumb, the following formula can be used to calculate the recommended volume
of the air net:
V = (30 x C x p x Q) / dp
Symbol Explanation
C Correction factor
dp Pressure difference between unloading and loading pressures in bar (recommended
minimum = 0.6)
p Compressor inlet pressure in bar absolute
Q Free air delivery of compressor in l/s
V Recommended air net volume in l
52 AIF999999
Instruction book
4. 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 maximum air velocity through the grids is 5
m/s (16.5 ft/s).
The required ventilation capacity (per compressor installed) to limit the compressor room
temperature can be calculated as follows:
For ZR compressors:
• For British/American Units: Qv = 284.5 N/dT
Symbol Explanation
dT Temperature increase in compressor room
• For British/American Units: in °F
N Shaft input of compressor
• For British/American Units: in hp
Qv Required ventilation capacity
• For British/American Units: in cfm
If cooling air ducts are installed, the maximum allowable pressure drop over the ducts is 30
Pa (0.12 in wc). Common ducting for several compressors is not allowed.
5. Lay out the drain piping from the condensate outlets towards the condensate collector. The
drain pipes must not dip into the water in the collector. It is recommended to provide a funnel
to allow visual inspection of the condensate flow.
6. Elektronikon control system with control panel.
7. See Electric cable size, fuses and cable length for the recommended size of the supply
cables.
Check that the electrical connections meet 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.
8. Install a condensate drain valve in the lower part of the air net piping.
9. On ZR compressors, remove the plastic plugs (if fitted) from the compressor water pipes (WI
and WO) and connect the pipes to the cooling water circuit. Fit a valve in the compressor
water inlet pipe and outlet pipe.
Types of misalignments
The supplied compensators can cope with 2 types of minor misalignments when the customer
pipe end is mounted:
AIF999999 53
Instruction book
• Axial ΔL
• Lateral ΔR
54 AIF999999
Instruction book
Misalignment tolerances
• Single direction misalignments
Axial 1: ΔL in 0.8
Lateral: ΔR in 0.8
Δα2 ° 0
1 = stretch or compression
2 = NO angular misalignment is tolerated!
Do NOT exceed the misalignment tolerances to avoid compensator damage! The piping
system of the customer should be designed to fit the misalignment tolerances both during
standstill and operation.
AIF999999 55
Instruction book
Torque values
Compensator bolts should be torqued in 3 successive steps
• Step 1: Hand-tighten each bolt.
• Step 2: Torque the bolts crosswise up to the value mentioned in the table below and allow a
stabilization period of 30 minutes before moving to step 3.
• Step 3: Torque the bolts crosswise up to the value mentioned in the table below.
56 AIF999999
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.
AIF999999 57
Instruction book
Situation Description
A Flat DIN flanges prevent damage of the rubber sealings.
B Collared flanges prevent premature wear.
C Add a flat sealing or if necessary a metal disc with flat seal in case of damage risk.
D 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
E diameter.
F Rough pipe ends will damage the rubber sealing.
G Avoid contact between the pipe end and the rubber sealing.
Refer to the pictures below for a visual overview of 5 do's and don'ts when installing rubber compensators:
• WRONG installation!
58 AIF999999
Instruction book
• CORRECT installation!
AIF999999 59
Instruction book
Do NOT:
• Paint the rubber bellows of the expansion joint since:
• Solvents can damage the rubber cover.
• The colored coating avoids decent visual inspection of the rubber condition.
• Weld, cut or grind without protecting the rubber bellows
• Expose the compensator to permanent radiation heat above 90 °C (194 °F)
General

General
Cooling water needs to fulfill requirements in order to avoid problems of scaling, fouling,
corrosion or bacterial growth. 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. Therefore the recommendations formulated in our cooling
water specifications are a general guide line for acceptable coolant quality. However, where strict
limits apply, a statement is made in the specification.
The water requirements refer to untreated water. When water is treated, some parameters will
change. Water treatments should be carried out by a specialized water treatment company,
taking the responsibility for the performance of the treated cooling water and the compatibility
with the materials in the cooling circuit. This includes not only the selection of the appropriate
additives, but also the correct application, monitoring of concentrations and properties, prevention
of sludge formation and maintenance of the system. This applies also to treatment with anti-
freeze products. They should be provided with suitable stabilizers and inhibitors.
Specifications also depend on the criteria mentioned below:
• the type of cooling circuit:
• open
• Single Pass
AIF999999 65

Safety precautions
Moving/lifting
In order not to damage the frame, the compressor must be moved either by a lift truck or by using
lifting equipment as described below.
When moving the compressor with a lift truck, use the slots in the frame. Make sure that the forks
protrude from the other side of the frame. When moving the compressor with a lifting device,
insert beams in the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the
frame equally. The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not
to damage the compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the
compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.
General preparation
Make sure that the compressor is installed correctly.
See Dimension drawing, Installation proposal and Electric cable size, fuses and cable length.

2 Stop the compressor.
Press the emergency stop button.
3 Switch off the voltage and follow the LOTO procedure. (Refer to the Safety Precautions
before acting.)
4 The filler plug and drain points are painted yellow.
Remove filler plug (FC). Drain the compressor sump by opening drain valve (Dmo).
On ZR compressors, drain the oil cooler by opening drain valve (Dmc).
Close the drain valves and tighten the drain plugs after draining.
5 Remove the oil filters (OF). Clean the filter seats, oil the gaskets of the new filters and
screw the filters into place until the gaskets contact the seats. Then tighten by hand.
6 On ZR 110 up to ZR 275, fill the compressor sump to the middle of the oil level sight-
glass (SG).
See Oil specifications for the correct type of oil.
7 Reinstall the filler plug.
