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
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.
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
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%.

1. Independent control
(1) Local auto controlling (start/stop type: Local , auto loading )
Press ON button start,
Connect the power, after the three-second-self -examination; press the ON button to start the main machine.
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.
Load / unload manually under auto running state
Under auto running state, the equipments are under unloading state, press the M to load, if the pressure over
the unloading pressure, the load solenoid valve back to the unloading state after inching; if the pressure lower
than the unloading pressure, the load solenoid valve will be electrified and only back to the unloading state
when the supply pressure over the unloading pressure. When the equipments under the loading state, press
theMto unload, if the pressure over the loading pressure, the load solenoid valve will lose power and back to
the loading state after the supply pressure lower than the loading pressure ; The unloading will can't work
if the pressure lower the loading pressure .
Normal shut down
PressOFFbutton,the loading solenoid valve lose power the relief solenoid will be electrified , after a few
time, the motor conductor will lower power , the air end and fan motor stop working, finally, after a few time
again, the relief solenoid valve will lose power. Only start the machine by press theONbutton.
Anti-frequent start controlling
PressOFF to stop, the air compressor stop after long time loading or error stop, the motor can't be started
again at once but some time later. The controller can display the rest time of start again eg. 90 seconds it
means that the motor can only be started after 90 seconds)
The motor only can be start when the rest time is 0
Long-distance auto controlling (start/ stop method: Long distance control ,auto loading )
All most the same like near controlling, only the start/ stop is controlled by distance switch.
(3)Local manually controlling (start/stop method: Local, manually loading)
The start and stop method is the same as the auto controlling, only after the start the machine is under
unloading running state, press theMbutton to load, when the supply pressure is over the unloading pressure,
the machine will unload automatically, if don't press the Mbutton the machine will unload till stop without
load . In the course of unloading,Mis loading button, but in the course of loading theMis the unloading
button.
(4) Long-distance manually controlling (start/ stop method: Long distance control, manually loading)
All most the same like local controlling, only the start/ stop is controlled by distance switch.
2.Net working control
(1)When the communication type of controller set to Computer, the machine can be controlled by computer.
(2)When the communication type of controller set to Linkage, the controllers can link with each other but
the main machine should be the NO.1 machine.
3.Fan motor temperature control
When the discharge pressure over the fan motor start pressure, the fan motor will begin to work, when the
discharge pressure lower than the fan motor stop pressure, the fan motor will stop running.
4.Auto drainage

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 .
