5.1 INTRODUCTION
Your new Sullair lubricated rotary screw air com-
pressor provides you with a unique experience in
improved reliability and greatly reduced mainte-
nance.
Compared to other types of compressors, the Sul-
lair rotary screw is unique in its mechanical reliabil-
ity and lack of “wear”. The compressor requires ab-
solutely no inspection of its internal parts.
By reading through Section 6, you will notice the
easy process of caring and maintaining this Sullair
manufactured product. Should any questions arise
which cannot be answered in this text, call your
nearest Sullair representative or the Sullair Corpo-
ration Service Department.
5.2 DESCRIPTION OF COMPONENTS
Refer to Figur e 5 --- 1 . The c omponents a nd assem -
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
Supervisor Control System all mounted on a
structural steel frame (optional starters mounted
on 200 through 300HP/150 through 225KW).
On air---cooled models, the cooling package is re-
mote---mounted and shipped as a separate unit.
The separate motor---driven fan cooling package
forces air through the coolers, thereby removing
the heat of compression from the cooling fluid.
On water---cooled models, fluid is piped into a
water---cooled heat exchanger where the heat of
compression is removed from the fluid. Two fans on
400 through 600HP/300 through 450KW (one fan
on 200 through 300HP/150 through 225KW) are
used to supply sufficient ventilating air to compres-
sors equipped with an optional enclosure.
Both air---cooled and water--- cooled versions have
easily accessible items such as the fluid filters and
