5.2.3 Preservation
If the unit has to be stored for more than 2 years, request special instructions from
BAUER KOMPRESSOREN, see Chapter 1.2.7 Contact data BAUER KOMPRESSO-
REN, Page 13.
If the unit is put out of operation for more than 6 months, preserve it as follows:
1.
Start up the unit.
2.
Then spray approximately 10 cm³ of compressor oil into the suction opening
of the 1ststage whilst the compressor is running. Do not allow the compressor
to run too long, in order to prevent heating of the oil, thus reducing the com-
pressor oil’s adhesive properties.
3.
Switch the unit off.
4.
Close the outlet cock.
Preserving the motor
Treat the motor as per the instructions issued by the motor manufacturer.
5.2.4 Inspecting the unit during storage
When a unit is preserved and stored: Put unit into operation every 6 months as fol-
lows:
After an extended period of storage the oil in the compressor and the motor will
age. For this reason, you should drain the old off after 2 years and then replace it
with new oil, see Chapter 9.5.2 Changing the oil, Page 83.
1.
Open the outlet cock.
2.
Operate unit for 10 minutes.
3.
For compressors with compressed oil lubrication: Ensure that the compressed
oil lubrication is working correctly. In doing so, check the oil flow in the sight
glass and/or oil pressure at the pressure gauge.
4.
Stop the unit.
5.
Open the condensate drain cocks and release the pressure.
Ä
The unit is pressure-free.
6.
Close condensate drain cocks.
7.
Preserve unit again, see Chapter 5.2.3 Preservation , Page 53.
