1.0 General Information
System Configurations
The Reciprocating Air systems are tank mounted units. All consist of at least one compressor, one
motor, integral pre-wired control panel and air receiver. The complete package is pre-wired, pre-
piped, and assembled.
Compressor Module
The compressor is a continuous duty rated lubricated reciprocating type. The design is two stage
and air cooled with finger type stainless steel valves. An oil splasher is fitted to the connecting rod to
lubricate all moving parts. The connecting rod and crankcase assembly is precision machined and
dynamically balanced. The crankshaft is forged out of carbon steel, hardened, and precision ground.
The crankshaft is provided with steel roller bearings and phosphor bronze bushings. The crankcase
is made of high grade cast iron. It acts as sump for the lubricating oil and is provided with a breather
drain plug and dipstick. The breather maintains a partial vacuum in the crankcase to facilitate better
breathing. The cylinders and cylinder heads are made of high grade cast iron and they have close
deep fins for effective cooling. The hardness of the cylinders is closely controlled to insure high wear
resistance. The pistons are automotive type made out of low expansion aluminum alloy. They are
provide with plain compression rings, stepped compression rings and slotted oil control rings. The
rings are made of special quality close grained cast iron and designed for controlling wear and keep-
ing oil consumption at a minimum. The wrist pins are made of chrome steel case hardened and pre-
cision ground. The intercooler is made of aluminum with fins for effective cooling.
Compressor Drive and Motor
The compressor is v-belt driven and protected by an OSHA approved totally enclosed belt guard. A
slotted mounting base allows full adjustment for belt tensioning. The motor is a NEMA rated, open
drip proof, with 1.15 service factor suitable for 208 or 230/460V electrical service.
Intake Filter
Each compressor is fitted with inlet air filters. The inlet filter removes dust from the incoming air
through an element.
Control System The mounted and wired control system is NEMA 1 and U.L. labeled. The . The
control panel also includes full voltage motor starters with overload protection, Off-On selector
switch and a pressure switch.
Air Receiver
The air receiver is ASME Coded, National Board Certified, and rated for a minimum 200 PSIG de-
sign pressure. The tank will include a safety relief valve, pressure gauge and manual drain valve.
