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
Sullair rotary screw is unique in mechanical reliabil-
ity, with "no wear" and "no inspection" required of
the working parts within the compressor unit.
Read Maintenance section to see how surprisingly
easy it is to keep your air compressor in top oper-
ating condition. Should any questions arise which
cannot be answered in the following text, call your
nearest Sullair representative or the Sullair
Corporation Service Department.
2.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
Refer to Figure 2-1. The components and assem-
blies of the air compressors are clearly shown. The
complete package includes compressor, electric
motor, compressor inlet system, compressor dis-
charge system, compressor cooling and lubrication
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 assembly,
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 suf-
ficient ventilating air to compressors equipped with
a canopy.
Both air-cooled and water-cooled versions have
easily accessible components such as the fluid fil-
ters and control valves. The inlet air filters are also
mounted for easy access and servicing.
2.3 SULLAIR COMPRESSOR UNIT, FUNCTIONAL
DESCRIPTION
Sullair tandem air compressors feature the Sullair
compressor unit, a two-stage, positive displace-
ment fluid lubricated-type compressor. This unit
provides continuous (pulse-free) air compression to
meet your needs.
Fluid is injected into the compressor unit in large
quantities where it mixes directly with the air as the
internal rotors turn, compressing the air. The fluid
