Coolers of water-cooled compressors
Keep the cooler block clean to maintain the cooling efficiency.
On air-cooled compressors proceed as follows:
Step Action
1 Take off the side panels of the compressor and remove the stays.
2 Open the two inside doors.
3 Remove any dirt form the coolers with a fibre brush, brush in the direction of the fins. Also
remove any dirt from the fans.
4 Clean the coolers with an air jet in the reverse direction to normal flow. Use low pressure
air; if necessary, the pressure may be increased up to 6 bar (e) (87 psig)
5 If it is necessary to clean the coolers with a cleaning agent, consult Atlas Copco.
6 Close the inside doors.
7 Reinstall the stays and side panels of the compressor.
On water-cooled compressors, consult the Atlas Copco Customer Centre if it is necessary to clean the coolers.
