Normal Operation
The Corona Air Compressor is designed specifically to minimize operator involvement.
Given that the system is installed as described in earlier sections and is serviced
in accordance with the specified maintenance recommendations (see Service
Requirements), then it should simply be a matter of turning the air compressor on when
it is required.
The air compressor will automatically produce the factory set flow and pressure
as detailed in the Technical Specifications and as required by the Corona Nitrogen
generator.
The generator compressor stops periodically to eject moisture from its drain bowls; this
is controlled by a timer. When the compressor is running it is controlled by a pressure
switch with two sets of limits:
Output A :
The high point turns the LEDS green indicating required pressure is available. The low
point turns the LEDS yellow indicating the pressure has dropped below the required
level.
Output B:
The high point turns the compressor off indicating there has been no drop in pressure
from the output and the demand has stopped. The low point will restart the compressor
if the pressure is dropping.
On Demand Gas
The air compressor system will produce compressed air on demand. If the application
is operating and requires a gas flow, the system it is connected to will supply this to
suit the requirements of the application. If the application requirement for gas stops,
the system will also stop, once it has reached its upper set limit in the internal storage
tanks. If the demand from the application starts again, the system will detect the
demand for gas and will automatically start again to suit the demand.
Unusual Operation
If at any time the air compressor begins to emit excessive noise or vibration, then it
should be switched off and you should contact Peak Scientific or the Peak Partner from
which the unit has been purchased.
