2.1 INTRODUCTION
Your new Sullair lubricated rotary screw air com-
pressor will provide you with a unique experience in
improved reliability and greatly reduced mainte-
nance.
Compared to other types of compressors, the Sull-
air rotary screw is unique in mechanical reliability,
working parts within the compressor unit.
Read Maintenance section to see how surprisingly
easy it is to keep your air compressor in top operat-
ing condition. Should any questions arise which
cannot be answered in the following text, call your
nearest Sullair representative or the Sullair Corpo-
ration Service Department.
2.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
RefertoFigure2---1.Thecomponentsandassem-
blies of the air compressors are clearly shown. The
complete package includes
compressor, electric
motor, compressor inlet system, compressor
discharge system, compressor cooling
and
lu-
brication system, capacity control system
and
instrument panel
all mounted on a heavy gauge
steel frame.
On air---cooled models, a separate motor---driven
fan blows air through the cooler/aftercooler assem-
bly, thereby removing the heat of compression from
the cooling fluid.
On water---cooled models, fluid is piped into a four-
pass exchanger where the heat of compression is
removed from the fluid. A fan is used to supply suffi-
cient ventilating air to compressors equipped with a
canopy.
Both air---cooled and water---cooled versions have
easily accessible components such as the fluid fil-
