DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Your new Sullair flood-lubricated rotary screw air
compressor will provide you with a unique
experience in improved reliability and simplified
maintenance.
Compared to other types of compressors, the Sullair
rotary screw is unique in mechanical reliability, with
“no wear” and “no inspection” required of the working
parts within the compressor unit.
Read Section 6: Maintenance on page 61 to see how
surprisingly easy it is to keep your air compressor in
top operating condition.
2.2 DESCRIPTION OF
COMPONENTS
Refer to Figure 2-1. The components and
assemblies of the air compressor are clearly shown.
The complete package includes compressor, electric
motor, starter, compressor inlet system, compressor
discharge system, compressor lubrication and
cooling system, capacity control system, WS
Controller, aftercooler, a combination separator and
trap, all mounted on a heavy gauge steel frame.
On air-cooled models, a fan draws air into the
enclosure over the fan and main motors through the
combined aftercooler and fluid cooler thereby
removing the compression heat from the
compressed air and the cooling fluid, and forces it
out the top of the machine.
This compressor model has easily accessible items
such as the fluid filter air/oil separator and control
valves. The inlet air filter is also easily accessible for
servicing.
