25 OPM-171/B
COMPRESSOR
Problem Possible Causes
System does not start No electricity, verify voltage at
solenoid
System difficult to start Verify engine speed is correct
Compressor is flooded with oil
System has not been discharged
Oil too viscous
Differential pressure Pressure in separator cartridge too
high with clogged or full
separator cartridge
High temp shutdowns Oil shortage
Oil filter soiled
Thermostat defective
Oil cooler soiled
Incorrect installation
1. Room ventilation
2. Exhaust air blocked
3. Thermal short circuit
Safety valve blows off Safety valve defective
Fine separator cartridge soiled
System does not relieve continuous
operation
System does not switch off
automatically (drop-out mode)
Freeze up of pressure switch due to
starting compressor before
engine is fully warmed up
Oil in compressed air Oil extraction line with nozzle in oil
sight glass soiled
Fine separator cartridge defective
Oil in oil reservoir too high; possibly
excessive condensation
System does not discharge
during continuous operation,
system does not switch off
automatically in case of
intermittent operations, i.e.
safety valve blows off
Upper switching point of network
pressure monitor set too high
Solenoid valve defective - Relief
valve defective
Minimum pressure valve jammed
System continually discharges,
low feed quantity
Solenoid valve defective - Relief
valve defective
Break in electric supply line to
solenoid valve
No or insufficient feed quantity Intake filter soiled
Oil shortage
Intake control valve does not open
Leaks in system
Control valve does not close Pressure switch or control valve
Oil exits through intake control
valve during stop
Sealing surface on intake control
valve damaged, spring in intake
control valve broken
System does not relieve Solenoid valve/electrical system
Impulse-pressure relief valve
Control valve constantly
discharges
Solenoid valve/electrical system
Oil escapes during discharge
(oil foam in the separator
cartridge)
Oil type incorrect
Oil foam forms during stop
Oil level too high
