2.6 CONTROL SYSTEM, FUNCTIONAL DESCRIP-
TION
The purpose of the compressor control system is to
maintain compressor capacity to meet the system
demand.
It consists of an inlet valve, blowdown valve,and
control lines.
2.7 I NSTRUMENTATION, FUNCTIONAL DESCRIP-
TION
Due to the simplicity of the ES---6 Series compres-
sor, the only instrumentation necessary is a line
pressure gauge which is located on the left side of
the electrical control center a n d a discharge tem-
perature gauge which is located on the right s ide of
the electrical control center. The line pressure
gauge reads plant air system pressure only.
NOTE
At compressor shutdown, the sump pressure is
released to atmosphere through the solenoid
valve. The line pressure gauge will continue to
read system pressure.
