Charter

Section one: Introduction


Compare to the reciprocating air compressor, the screw air compressor has much more advanced performance
such as little vibration;low noise;high efficiency and so on.
1)It simplifies its mechanic structure by injecting lubrication oil constantly to the compression chamber with
the pressure difference generated by itself.
2) The oil it injects can form the oil film between the rotors, so the main motor can drive the subsidiary
rotor directly without the help of high precision synchronous gear.
3) The injected oil can enhance the air-tightness.
4) The lubricating oil could absorb large amount of compression heat, so even if the compression ratio
reaches 16 high, the head temperature can control below the point that carbonisation and degeneration of
lubricating oil.
5) The lubricating oil can weak the noise that caused by high-frequency compression.
6) It lubricates the pneumatic tool with little oil injected in the compressed air.
Section two: The frame structure
1.Basic frame structure
Our LG series oil-injection screw air compressor is a kind of double axis capacity rotating air compressor, the
air-inlet port at the top of the machine's cover and the air-discharge port at the bottom, there are two high
precision rotors be fixed parallely and horizontally inside of the machine, one is main rotor and the other is
subsidiary one, There are 5 teeth in the main rotor and 6 teeth in the subsidiary one; the main rotor with bigger
diameter; the teeth surround the rotor in twist shape and two rotors' tooth meshing together. The rotors support
by the bearing and the transmission type is V-belt or coupling driven.
2. Meshing
The motor rotates the main rotor through the transmission system. The cooling lubricating oil be sprayed into
the meshing part, mixed with the air to take away the heat, and formed oil film, which can protect the rotors
from be damaged by serious friction and decrease noise. For different discharge pressure the weight of
oil-injected is about 5-10 times more than the air weight.
Suction stroke Sealing an d transit stroke

C om pressing and oilinjecting stroke Discharging stroke

F ig.1
2
1)Suction stroke
There is no air inlet and air discharge valve sets on the screw air compressor, a regulating valve controls the
air inlet. When the teeth-ditch space of the two rotors rotate to the air inlet end, its space is the biggest, the
outside air be sucked into the vacuum teeth-ditch space after it full of air, the rotor 's air-inlet end will rotate
away the air inlet port and seal the space. This is called course of suction.
2)Sealing and transit stroke
After the suction stroke finished, the teeth peak part of the rotors will sealing with the machine cover and the
air in the teeth ditch space will not outflow. This is the course of sealing. The two rotors go on rotating their
teeth ditch and teeth peak will integrate together at the suction end and the matching surface will rotate
towards the discharge end gradually. This is called transit course.
3)Compressing and oil injecting stroke
In the course of transit, the matching surface move to the discharge, the air between the matching surface and
the discharge port being compressed gradually and the pressure rise up quickly. This is called compressing
course and in this course the lubricating oil be injected into the compressing room then mix with the air by the
force of pressure.
4)Discharging stroke
When the rotor's discharge port end connect with the machine cover (now the pressure is the highest), the
compressed air begin to be discharged, till the matching surface move to the discharge end, now there is no
teeth-ditch space, this is the discharging stroke and same time.

Charter III

Section one: Location of installation

A suitable location of installation is very important for excellent performance and long service life of air
compressor. The location of installation should be convenient for maintenance to avoid any abnormal
operation of air compressor due to poor circumstance. Following is guide for location choice:
1)Good daylight and enough lighting for easy maintenance.
2) Low humidity, non-erosion, non-metal spay, little dust and good ventilation.
3) If the factory circumstance is poor with more dust, one ventilation duct from compressor suction to clean
air space is necessary, the duct should be easily dismantled and maintained; the size of the duct please refer to
dimension of compressor size.
4) There should be enough space for easy maintenance. At least one and half meters clear space around air
compressor, two meters or more top clear space is required.
5) If the air compressor was installed in enclose space, one exhaust fan should be equipped to exhaust the
hot air from heat exchange in the room.
6) If the circumstance temperature is too high (above 40 ). Recommend taking measure to keep low air
temperature (avoid direct daylight, open door and window etc.) to avoid abnormal stop due to high
temperature. Whereas, the circumstance temperature is too low ( less 0), should pay more attention to the
risk of lubrication oil freezing.

Section two: Piping, Foundation and Cooling system

1. Piping laying
1)Laying piping should pay more attention on any extra stress on cooler. To avoid any welding spark fall into
air compressor cause damage inner parts.
2)Main pipe should be laid with down tilt about 10-20 degree, this design will favour to drain out any
condense in piping (the piping should be fixed with screw plug for regularly draining).
3)The diameter of the piping should be not smaller than diameter of outlet on air compressor. Should use less
elbow and valves as soon as possible to reduce any more pressure lose in piping.
4)Diameter of main piping should avoid any reducing and enlarging. If we have to reduce or enlarge the
3
diameter of main piping, reduce should be applied. Otherwise, turbulence will occur at location of connector
and cause large pressure lose, meantime the service life of piping will be shorted due to air punching.
5)Branch piping should be arranged from top of main piping to avoid condense in main piping flow into air
compressor.
6)Recommend installing one air storage tank after discharge port. This design can reduce the frequency of
start and stop and extend the service life of machinery and electrics.
7)If there are air tank and air dryer etc. after discharging port of air compressor, good design of air flow
should beair compressor+air tank+air drier. Air tank can cool down the compressed air from air
compressor to remove most of water in air. The cooled and less water content air flow into air drier will
reduce the load of drier.
8)Under 1.5Mpa pressure, the velocity of air in piping should be less 15m/s in order to avoid too much
pressure loss.
9)One good main piping layout should be around the workshop, and fit some valves on the line in order to get
air supply from two direction at any branch line. If air consumption of one branch line suddenly increases,
above design can avoid apparent pressure turbulence. Also this design is convenient for maintenance as we
can cut the air supply by valves easily.

2. Foundation
(1)The foundation should base on hard earth or cement floor. And the floor should be even to avoid any extra
vibration due to tilt.
(2)If air compressor is installed on the ceiling floor, should pay more attention to vibration prevention. One
sheet rubber gasket with 10mm thickness should be laid under the air compressor to stop vibration and
resonance.

Cooling system

Section three: Electrics and safety

1.With the model of air compressor, to choose suitable cable and air current breaker. Too small capacity of
cable will cause burning out and other risk due to over current.
2.Recommend independent electrical power supply and avoid sharing power supply with other different
electrical appliances. If share power supply, over current and unbalance current between three phases will
cause air compressor over load and trip. Especially, for big power compressor
3.Selecting power supply should ensure the voltage of power is same with rating voltage of air compressor.
4.Earth cable should be laid for electrical motor and electrical system to avoid any risk due to grounding.
Keep in mind don't connect earth cable to air discharging piping.
At running condition, the difference between actual power voltage and rating voltage should be less 5%.
Frequency difference should be less 1%. The difference between each current of three phases and average
current of three phases should be less 10%.

Section two : Flow charter of system


After being filtrated by the air filter the air enter into the compressing room through suction unload valve, and
mix with the lubricating oil.
After being compressed the mixture will be discharged into the oil & air chamber, and in the chamber most of
oil in mixture will be removed out, then the fine oil separator will separate the oil and air further. Finally, the
clean compressed air will flow into service system through minimum pressure valve, back cooler.
1. Function of major components on the airflow
A. Inlet air filter
The filter is dry paper type; the mesh hole is about 10um. Its main function is to collect the dust in the air to
prevent screw rotor from tear down, also prevent oil filter and separator from fouling frequently.
B. Suction unload valve
Suction unload valve is most important component; it can control the output by controlling the quantity of air
into compressor. It be consist of suction valve, orifice, discharge port and valve etc, depending on air pressure
in the system, loading-unloading solenoid valve and reverse proportion valve will control the suction control
valve by opening with full open, crack open or close to change the quantity of inlet air and keep the pressure
in the system steady by infinitely variable control. This will save electrical power consumption.
C .Oil & air chamber
The oil & air chamber have two functions. One is the separating out the oil from the mixture; the other is
storing lubricating oil avoid the hot oil taking part in the next circle immediately, which can low down the
discharging temperature.
There is the oil-level indicator on the chamber.
D. Fine oil separator
Please read the detail instruction about the fine oil separator in thelubricating oil system.
E. Minimum pressure valve
Connect with the discharge port of fine oil separator; the start-pressure has been set to 0.4-0.5Mpa. Its
functions are as following:
a. Provide the necessary pressure that make sure lubricating -circle can work prior to other systems when the
machine started.
6
b. The oil & air chamber will not work until the pressure reaches 0.4Mpa, so the velocity of air could be slow
down, the oil be separated completely and also the chamber can avoid being damaged due to huge pressure
gap.
c. Retaining function: retaining the compressed air from flowing back after stop and the low pressure in the oil
& air chamber.
F. Back cooler
The compressed air from the minimum pressure valve flow into the back cooler, The back cooler connected
with the oil cooler, both of the coolers are the plate-fin frame. The cooling fan suck in the cold air then
cooling the cooler's fin. Generally, the air temperature after cooling is about 15 degrees over environmental
temperature plus.
G. Thermal sensor
Thermal sensor is to monitor the discharge temperature and display the result on the instrument panel. The
situation eg. Oil loss, less oil or worse cooling, the discharge temperature may become over normal value. The
air compressor will stop working when the discharge temperature reaches the setting stop pressure. Please
don't adjust the setting stop pressure at will.
2. Lubricating oil system
1) Instruction of lubricating oil system
The pressure in the air & oil chamber press out the lubricating oil, after cooling by the temperature-control
valve and oil cooler, and filtrated by the oil filter the oil divided into two flows, one flow being sprayed into
the compressing room to cooling the compressed air; the other is into the both sides of the machine and
lubricating the bearing sets. Then all the lubricating oil gets together at the bottom of the compressing room
and being discharged from the discharge port.
After being discharged to the air & oil chamber, most of the oil subsided to the bottom of the compressing
room, after being filtrated by the fine oil filter further, the remain mixture will take part in the next circle.
2) Oil- injected volume control
The oil not only can lubricating the machine but also can take away the heat. The volume of the oil sprayed
can affect the performance of the air compressor directly. The volume has been set before leaving the factory
please don't adjust it by yourself!
3) Instruction of oil current system
a. Temperature monitor valve
The main function: control the discharge temperature by controlling the lubricating oil's temperature that
injected into the air end avoid the lubricating oil coagulated in the oil & air chamber. At the beginning , the
temperature of lubricating oil is very low , the valve closed and the cold oil be injected into the air end
directly ; when the temperature of lubricating oil reaches 70 the valve will open gradually ,and will all
open when the temperature reaches 76 ,and all the oil will be spayed to the air end after being cooled by
the oil cooler.
Some models of our air compressors don't have this valve, it control the oil temperature by controlling the
fan's motor when the discharge temperature reaches 80, the fan will work, when it lower than the 65, the
fan will stop working.
b .Oil cooler
Oil cooler and back cooler are connected together; keep more than 2m distance between the cooler and the
barrier to make sure good ventilation. The pin of the cooler is easy to be damaged by dust, which may result in
high discharge temperature even stop, so, the fins must be cleaned regularly.
c. Oil filter
The filter 's filtrating precision is about 10-15,it's used for get rid of the sundries like dust and so on to keep
the bearing and the rotor working normally .If the filter blocked, the oil volume may not enough and result in
high discharge temperature even stop.
d.Fine oil separator
The core of separator is made from multi-layer special fibres, which can separate almost all the oil from the
compressed air. The diameter of oil granule can be controlled under 0.1m ,and oil content can be controlled
under 3PPm
e.Oil -retaining valve
All the remain oil are collected in the center of the oil filter 's core and then be leaded to the air end through
the oil return- tube this is for preventing the lubricating oil from being discharged together with the
compressed air. In order to avoid the oil in the compressing room flow back (there is pressure gap when
7
unloading), a single direction valve be set at the oil -return -tube, the user should check whether the throttling
hole blocked if the oil consumption increases suddenly in the cross of running.
Section three: Air current control system
1.Normal running
1)Starting
Before starting, both of the air- inlet- unload valve and the load- solenoid- valve are closed, after starting,
some air be sucked into from throttling hole on the air- inlet- unload valve, under the force of minimum
pressure valve, the pressure in the oil & air chamber increases gradually then spray the lubricating oil into the
air end to lubricating the machine.
2)Loading running
Several seconds later than the star-start, the load solenoid-valve begin to work after contacting the power, the
pressure in the air could get through and the minimum pressure valve open, the compressed air be discharged.
When the system pressure reach the setting limit of the reverse proportion valve, the valve will work and
adjust the air supply volume, keep the balance between the air-supply volume and air-consumption, this is the
infinitely-variable air inlet volume adjustment function.
3)Unloading running
Air pressure will get upper-limit of set value on "CPU" controller. Meantime the loading solenoid valve will
close due to no current. This action will cause suction valve automatically close due to losing control air
pressure. Same time, the relief valve open to release the pressure in oil & air chamber (circulate to suction).
The compressor will get in un-loading condition. If the system pressure reaches the lower limit set by the
microcomputer- controller the machine will unload and run again.
After the work finished, press the stop button, the machine will enter into the unloading running state, and
stop running after several seconds.
2.Instruction of air current control parts
A. Load solenoid- valve
Normally closed solenoid- valve, control the loading and unloading
B. Release valve
When unload running or stop state, the valve will open to release the pressure in the oil & air chamber and
make the air compressor running with low load or make sure the air compressor restart without load .
C.Reverse proportion valve
This valve will act after the pressure in system is over setting pressure, higher the input pressure (system
pressure) is, lower the output pressure will be; the lower output pressure will cause suction control valve get
smaller opening which controlled by reciprocation of air cylinder. The smaller opening will lead to smaller
quantity of inlet air and decrease output of compressor to tally with air consumption by infinitely variable
control.
Following can do set control pressure:
Lift up and lose the black cap of reverse proportion valve, turn clockwise the pressure will be higher; whereas,
turn counterclockwise the pressure will be lower. After setting, push down the black cap to prevent setting
screw from turning due to vibration. The setting pressure should be lower than rating discharging pressure. If
the setting pressure is higher than unloading setting pressure on CPU controller, Only unloading function will
be actuated but without displacement variable.
D.Select valve
This valve will exchange the air supply of output control, two side of valve stem were acted by different
pressure, top side is from system after pressure control valve; bottom side is from air container before pressure
control valve. Higher-pressure air from above location will become control air in the system.
E.Safety valve
This valve is one safety component in the system, when air pressure in container is 5% higher than rating
discharging pressure, the relief valve will poop out to low the pressure in the container under rating pressure.
The setting pressure of safety valve was pre-set before delivery. Never adjust the setting value. When safety
valve pooping, should stop compressor immediately to investigate the cause and rectified.
Safety valve should be checked regularly, this could be done easily as following:
When compressor is running with full capacity (rating discharging pressure or near rating discharging
pressure), lift up the ring on the top of safety valve a little. If compressed air flash out, that means the function
is normal.
F.Pressure sensor
8
Pressure sensor detect the pressure after second fine oil separator, the pressure will display on control
panel.CPUcontroller will compare this pressure with the up and low limit and act on loading solenoid valve
to control loading and un-loading.
G.Pressure gauge
Pressure gauge gives the pressure before second fine oil separator in container. Because there is pressure loss
after air pass separator, pressure control valve and piping. The pressure on gauge is higher than pressure on
control panel (may be lower during unloading). The difference between these two pressures should be
monitored continuously, if the pressure difference is more than 0.1 Mpa, the second fine oil separator should
be renewed.
H. Thermal sensor
The thermal sensor detects the temperature in way of compressor discharge port. This temperature will display
on control panel. Heating sensitive component is PT100 resistant with and high accuracy advantage.
Without oil, insufficient oil or poor cooling, the discharging air will become over high temperature. The
compressor will automatically stop when discharging compressed air temperature get to setting alarm
temperature onCPUcontroller. By different model of compressor, the setting alarm onCUPis pre-set at
105, 110 or 115. This setting temperature should not be changed with permit.

Auto running controlling:
When the motor start to state, the load solenoid valve will be electrified after a few seconds and the air
compressor begin loading, the pressure in the oil & air chamber rise up. When the pressure over the setting
value (unloading pressure), the load solenoid valve loses power, the relief valve begins to work and the air
compressor enters no load running. In the certain time (unloading) if the pressure falls to the setting unloading
pressure, the load solenoid valve will be electrified again, the relief valve will lose power, the compressor will
work normally and increase the pressure of the air tank; if the pressure don't fall down to the setting value, the
motor will be stopped by the controller and the air compressor will shut down after long time unload.
So, when the pressure falls to the lower limit the motor will start automatically and this is a beginning of a
new circle.

2.The factors that affect oil-replace period


1)Bad ventilation and high environment temperature
2)High humidity
3)Dusty
3.The steps of replacing oil
1)Run the air compressor for whiles to raise the oil temperature and the oil will be easy to be discharged
2)Pressstop button stop the machine
3)When the pressure in the oil & air chamber at 0.1 Mpa. Open the oil relief valve, the oil will flow out
quickly and even splash out by the force of pressure, so the relief valve must be opened gradually. Close the
oil relief valve after the discharge finished.
Note: All the lubricating oil in the system must be discharged completely including the oil in the pipes, cooler
and oil & air chamber.
4)Open the oil feeding screw, feed new lubricating oil.
4.The operation instruction of lubricating oil
1)Generally, for the new machine, for the first time replace the oil after 500 running hours, for the second time,
after 1000 running hours, for the third time the oil can be replaced at normal period, 2000 hours. For the
non-continuous running machine, the oil should be replaced on time.
2)Make sure that not use the lubricating oil out of its service life, the oil should be replaced on time or low
quality oil may damage the air end and the bearing, at the same time the quality of oil decreases and the flash
point decreases accordingly, this may cause self-ignition and burn the machine.
3)It's better clean the air compressor completely with lubricating oil after it running two years. The method
is: replace with the new oil then let the air compressor run for 6-8 hours, replace the oil again immediately,
remove all the sundries completely. This is can prolong the lubricating oil 's service life.
4)Only replace with the same brand and code lubricating oil, it's forbidden to mix different lubricating oil.
Section two: Maintenance of air filter
1)Clean the air filter after running 500 hours or warning information display on the controller.
Get the filter core out of the filter blow out the dust with low-pressure compressed air.
2)Change the filter core every 2000 running hours
Note: In poor condition the period should be shortening accordingly.
Note: Make sure no sundries dropped into the air inlet valve in case of block the air end even damage.
Section three: Maintenance the oil filter
1)For the new machine, replace the old one with a new after running the first 500 hours
2)Later, the replacing every 2000 hours
3)When replacing the lubricating oil replace the oil filter too
24
Note: In poor condition the period should be shortening accordingly.
Note: Replacing the oil filter only after stop and unload, rotating out the oil filter core from the filter
anticlockwise carefully don't drop lubricating oil to the seat. When install the filter core, turn the core tightly
by hand. After finished, start the machine to check whether there is leakage of oil or not .
Section four: Replacing fine oil separator
1)In normal running state , the fine oil separator can work about 3000 hours , but the lubricating oil's quality
and the pollution of the environment may short its life . If the pollution is serious , a front set air separator
can be fixed.
Generally speaking , the users can judge the fine oil filter whether damaged through following information
The oil content in the air pipe increases
The pressure gap of the fine oil separator exceeds 0.12 Mpa
Whether the current increases
2)Note: replace only after stop the system is in no-pressure state.
3)The method of replacing external-set fine oil separator is the same as the replacing of oil filter.
4)The method of replacing internal-set fine oil separator
Dissemble all the pipes on the cover of oil & air chamber (including the pipe from the exit hole of
minimum pressure valve to the oil filter )
Dissemble all the tighten screws on the cover of oil & air chamber
Replace the fine oil separator
Assemble the oil & air chamber again
3)Note: There are two asbestos washers on and under the flange
of the separator. Some metal pieces like stapling nail or something else has been fixed on it, when replacing
the nail must be stapled again at its original place this can prevent damage from static electricity.
4) Note: when assembling keep that the distance between oil-return pipe and the bottom of the fine oil at 2-3
mm
5) Note: don't drop dirt to the oil & air chamber when replacing the separator

Safety precautions during shutdown involve multiple steps: the loading solenoid valve loses power, activating the relief solenoid valve to depressurize the system safely. After a period, both the air and fan motors cease operation, preventing overheating and wear. Additionally, anti-frequent start control mechanisms prevent immediate restart, allowing time for system stabilization and reducing mechanical stress. An emergency stop mechanism is also in place to abort operations immediately in hazardous situations .

Environmental factors like poor ventilation, high ambient temperatures, and high humidity can shorten the operational life of lubricating oil by promoting oxidation and contamination. Such conditions increase the rate at which oil degrades, reducing its effectiveness as a lubricant and coolant. Regular oil changes are recommended to mitigate these effects and prevent deterioration of compressor performance .

Improperly adjusting the temperature monitor valve can result in incorrect oil temperature regulation. If the valve opens too early or too late, it could cause the lubricating oil to either remain too cold or become excessively hot, affecting its viscosity and lubrication properties. This can lead to increased wear on internal components, reduced compressor efficiency, and potential system failures due to overheating or inadequate lubrication .

Mixing different brands or types of lubricating oil can lead to chemical incompatibilities, affecting the oil's viscosity, lubrication properties, and thermal stability. Such incompatibilities may diminish the protective film on moving parts, increasing wear and risk of seizure, and can also cause deposits to form, obstructing oil flow. Consistent use of a single oil type ensures reliable performance and prolongs the compressor's operational life .

If the fine oil separator is malfunctioning, it will fail to adequately remove oil from the compressed air. This can lead to oil carryover into the air system, causing contamination, reducing efficiency, and potentially damaging downstream equipment. The build-up of oil can also clog filters and valves, leading to increased maintenance needs and a decrease in overall system efficiency .

The correct volume of oil injection is crucial because it serves two primary purposes: lubrication and heat dissipation. If the volume is not set correctly, it can directly impact the air compressor's performance by failing to sufficiently lubricate moving parts or adequately remove heat generated during compression. This imbalance can lead to increased wear, higher operating temperatures, and potential system malfunctions .

Setting up the controller's communication type determines how the air compressor will be managed in a networked environment. It can be set to "Computer" for centralized control, allowing remote management and monitoring by a computer system, or "Linkage" for interconnected operation with multiple units, designating the main machine as the control hub. These setups facilitate automated control, enhance operational efficiency, and allow for integrated system diagnostics and management .

The minimum pressure valve ensures that the oil and air chamber does not operate until the pressure reaches 0.4 MPa. This delay allows the necessary pressure to build up in the system, enabling the lubricating circle to function properly before activating other components. It also prevents damage from a high-pressure differential by reducing the initial air velocity, thereby facilitating complete oil separation and protecting the chamber .

The oil cooler, in conjunction with the back cooler, helps dissipate heat absorbed by the lubricating oil as it circulates through the system. By ensuring the oil's temperature is reduced before it re-enters the compressor, the oil cooler helps maintain the compressor's operational efficiency by preventing overheating and ensuring optimal functioning of the oil lubrication system. Regular cleaning of the cooler's fins is also essential to mitigate blockages and maintain its effectiveness .

The suction control valve modulates the quantity of inlet air by opening fully, partially, or closing as needed to stabilize system pressure. By precisely controlling airflow, it helps maintain a steady system pressure, thus optimizing compressor operation and reducing unnecessary energy usage, resulting in lower electrical power consumption .
