IQ SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - 1
KEY
IQ SYSTEM
The IQ System is a complete, self-contained system which provides
cooler, cleaner air than from a standard portable compressor. The
system utilizes an integral aftercooler, high-efficiency filtration, and a
patented condensate disposal system to provide the cool, clean air.
The condensate disposal system injects all liquid condensed from the
moisture separator and filters into the engine exhaust system where it
is vaporized by heat. This eliminates the need for collecting the
condensate, and the added cost of disposing of the condensate, which
is often regulated by local, state, and/or federal regulations.
When equipped with the low ambient feature, the IQ System
automatically adjusts movable louvers to control airflow through the
aftercooler, ensuring that the compressed air temperature always
remains above freezing temperatures (typically 45°F) at any ambient
temperature down to -20°F. This prevents the need for 120V AC heat
tracing systems, or any manual adjustment to prevent freezing of the
compressed air system. All drain points for the condensate handling
system are heated with 24VDC heaters, which are integral to the
compressor heater system.

freezing.
IQ SYSTEM OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - 2
The compressed air exits the separator tank through the top cover
piping, and can then travel along one of two paths, selectable via
manual valving.
One path allows Standard Operation, which bypasses the IQ
System, and delivers air quality equivalent to a standard oil-flooded
portable compressor. If the IQ System is enabled by proper setting of
the selector valve, the compressed air first enters the aftercooler.
The aftercooler is cooled by the incoming compressor package air,
which is controlled by movable louvers mounted on the aftercooler (if
equipped with low ambient option). At most conditions, the louvers are
fully open, and maximum aftercooling is available. The compressed air
and condensate (water with a small amount of compressor lubricant)
exits the aftercooler and enters the moisture separator, where most of
the condensate is removed. The compressed air then flows through
two stages of filtration, where the aerosol water and oil is removed
down to approximately 0.01 ppm, and all particulates are removed
down to 0.01 micron.
At the bottom of the moisture separator and both filters are strainers
and constant-bleed orifices, which are sized to allow the maximum flow
of condensate while minimizing compressed air loss.
