5.2.3 Preservation
If the unit has to be stored for more than 2 years, request special instructions from
BAUER KOMPRESSOREN, see Chapter 1.1.1 Contact data
BAUER KOMPRESSOREN, Page 9.
If the unit is put out of operation for more than 6 months, preserve it as follows:
1.
Start up the unit.
2.
Spray approximately 5 cm³ of compressor oil (approx. 10 cm³ for compressor
series K22 and above) into the intake opening of the 1st stage whilst the com-
pressor is running. Do not allow the compressor to run too long, in order to
prevent heating of the oil, thus reducing the compressor oil’s adhesive proper-
ties.
3.
Switch the unit off.
4.
Close all cocks.
5.
Uncouple the V-belt, if necessary.
6.
Leave the cooling water in the cooling circuit, if appropriate.
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 9.4 Maintenance activities - Lubricating oil system,
Page 90.
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 54.
