Page 20 BOGE Operating instructions for C 16 N...C 30 N, C 16 F N...C 30 F N series screw compressors
Cooling water quality
The cooling units are fitted with nonferrous heat exchangers, as standard. To
avoid damage to these components and to guarantee a long term function, en-
sure that the substances contained in the cooling water used do not exceed
the following values.
Tab. 2.1: Maximum admissible concentration of the substances
2.5 Compressor control
Network pressure
For the compressor, the pressure downstream of the check valve is termed
network pressure. The control system switches the compressor on and off
during operation depending on the network pressure.
Operating states
All screw compressor controls are based on three basic operating states:
1. Load operation
– The compressor delivers its maximum amount of compressed air.
– It consumes its maximum energy.
