General Safety Precautions
1. The compressor shall be earthed reliably. Blast wall shall be built between the compressor
and the cylinder filling area according to the standard. Before the unit runs, be sure to ensure
that all components and parts assembled on the compressor have been oil and grease
removed strictly (anti-oxidant lubricating grease must be used for the bearings), and all
joints and accessories have been locked securely.
2. Both the high-pressure oxygen gas and electricity have danger! Do not conduct overhaul or
maintenance and service on the unit before you make sure that the power supply has been
cut off and the compressed gas in the entire compressor system has been emptied.
3. During the unit running, don’t loosen or disassemble any pipeline fitting and compressor
component/part; high pressure and high temperature oxygen gas is filled inside the unit, it
may cause serious injury accident.
4. In the power supply circuit to the compressor, an appropriate air switch must be installed,
and an appropriate grounding line shall be connected, it is required that the ventilation is
good while the compressor is running and the ambient temperature is lower than 35℃ , in
addition, it is required that necessary maintenance space must be left around the compressor.
5. The compressor should not work at an exhaust pressure higher than that specified on the
nameplate, otherwise, the stress of components and parts of the compressor will be
deteriorated, the exhaust temperature will be ultrahigh and the motor will be overloaded,
which will consequently result in abnormal phenomenon such as damage of components and
parts of the compressor, reduced life, shutdown, etc. and even severe safety accident.
6. The safety valve on the compressor is the safety protection barrier of the machine, and
should be calibrated at the local labor department once every year; if the gas pressure in the
system exceeds the rated pressure, be sure to check the overpressure cause when opening the
safety valve to release the gas; use the compressor again only after determining the fault has
been eliminated.
7. Before carrying out any maintenance on the compressor, you must well do the following
preparatory works.
1) Stop the unit; 2) Cut off the power supply and ensure the compressor is under power
cutoff state; 3) Ensure the compressed gas in the unit has been emptied; 4) It must ensure
that any assembled part has been oil and greased removed strictly.
8. Personal protection: during the compressor operation, the operator’s body and clothes shall
be kept far away from moving components such as the belt pulley, blades, belts, etc. of the
compressor, he shall also not touch the cylinder and pipeline directly with his hand in order
to avoid scalding; the operator shall have relevant professional knowledge and experience.
9. Before starting up the compressor, you must understand this operation and maintenance
manual.

reciprocating piston type high-pressure oxygen compressor, there are single acting type and
double acting type in the structure, and there are vertical type, angle type, etc., the Wind brand
series high-pressure oilless oxygen compressor has the features of excellent performance, stable
operation, high efficiency and energy conservation and long service life, and is widely used for
oxygen cylinder filling, chemical process and plateau oxygen supply, it is used with the oxygen
making machine to constitute a simple and safe high-pressure oxygen system.
The friction pair of this series compressor involved in the gas compression does not use
thin oil lubrication, the friction seals such as piston ring, guide ring, etc. are made of special
materials with self-lubricating properties, its structural advantages are reflected in the following
aspects:
1. No thin oil lubrication in the whole compression system, thus avoiding the possibility
of contact of oil with high-pressure and high-purity oxygen gas, and ensuring the safe
use of the compressor;
2. The whole system does not have lubricating oil supply subsystem. The machine is
simple in structure, convenient in control and easy to operate;
3. The whole system has no oil, so there is no pollution to the compressed medium –
oxygen gas, and the oxygen gas at the inlet and outlet of the compressor has
consistent purity.

2.4 Electrical Installation
Before installation, be sure to check compliance of the power supply, power line and
transformer capacity, and equip appropriate fuse or circuit breaker in the installation. The
unbalance between voltage phases must be limited within 5% so as to prevent overcurrent due to
low voltage. During the installation of motor, connection of electric wires and cables and all
electric components, relevant national electric standard and local codes must be complied with,
and only the electricians with qualification can undertake above work. The compressor must be
grounded reliably, refer to the electric diagram. Special attention: the wiring terminal serial
numbers on the machine should strictly correspond to those within the control cabinet.

Ⅲ. Construction and operating principle

3.1 The structural diagram of the whole machine is shown as follows:


3.2 Operating principle
3.3 The compressor consists of the basic machine, motor, base, pipeline system, cooling
system and display control system.
3.4 The motion mechanism of the compressor is the crank-connecting rod mechanism
consisting of crankshaft, connecting rod, pistons etc.: it is driven by motor through belts so as to
drive the compressor crankshaft to perform rotary motion, the crankshaft drives the connecting
rod and the connecting rod drives the piston to perform reciprocating linear motion so as to make
the volume of the cylinder change and thus achieve the goal of increasing the gas pressure
because the automatic gas valve determines the suction and discharge process of the cylinder.
The crankshaft rotates for one revolution to complete a working cycle, the lower pressure gas
enters into the cylinder through the gas suction port and is compressed into higher pressure gas
and is discharged for use.
Compressor’s working principle:
The compression section is mainly composed of the basic compressor, heat exchanger,
connecting pipeline, motor, compressor base and electric appliances for control etc.;
The motion mechanism of the compressor is the crank-connecting rod mechanism
consisting of crankshaft, connecting rod, piston etc.: the motor drives the compressor crankshaft
to perform rotary motion through the driving belts, the crankshaft drives the connecting rod and
the connecting rod converts the rotary motion of the crankshaft to reciprocating linear motion of
piston in the cylinder so as to make the volume of the cylinder change periodically and thus
achieve the goal of increasing the gas medium pressure. The lower pressure gas is turned into a
high pressure gas after it is compressed by the compressor and is discharged out the compressor.
After it is cooled, then is charged into the oxygen tank or transmitted to the next process through
the pipeline.

The compressor does not contain liquid lubricant, and the crankcase bearing the crankshaft
does not contain liquid lubricating oil; both the piston ring and guide ring are made of modified
PTFE with excellent self-lubricating property, every main component/part is made of the
material which is not easy to produce sparks such as stainless steel and copper, aluminum, etc.,
all the bearings are provided with a sealing ring to prevent loss of lubricating grease, the
lubricating grease of the motion friction pair of the oilless high-pressure oxygen compressor is a
dedicated anti-oxidant lubricating grease for oxygen compressor.
Flow chart of high-pressure oxygen compressor: the compressor control system is mainly
composed of the pressure controller, the flow controller (intake gas pressure regulating valve),
solenoid valve, thermostat and safe discharge system etc.: when the exhaust pressure reaches the
rated pressure, the contacts of the exhaust pressure controller are closed, the motor stops rotation,
meanwhile the intake gas solenoid valve is closed to cut off the gas supply channel, when the
internal pressure of the exhaust gas buffer tank drops to the set value, the contacts are released,
and the intake gas solenoid valve is opened, the motor is started to continue to compress gas,
when the machine is used for cylinder filling machine, it is needed to manually reset it and then
start it. The compressor is provided with a temperature display at each stage to display the
temperature in the compressor cylinder, and is provided with an overtemperature shutdown
protection at the final stage, each stage is provided with a safety valve, which will be
automatically opened when the pressure of each stage exceeds the set value of pressure.
For the compressor with single acting cylinder, a sealing ring is installed on the guide ring
between the compressor cylinder and the crankcase, which separates the relation between the
crankcase and the cylinder, the crankcase is totally open to the atmosphere.
For the compressor with double acting cylinder, packing seal is used, and the crankcase is
open to the atmosphere.
In particular, in the structural diagram of the compressor, the low pressure oxygen enters
into the compression chamber through the suction chamber a and is discharged out of the
cylinder through gas exhaust chamber b after it is compressed under the action of piston 5.
Because of the sealing performance of the piston ring, a very small amount of oxygen will leak
into the safety chamber D, and is discharged out of the machine through the seal ring installed at
- 10 -
guide piston 6 and exhaust port on guide cylinder A, thus preventing the oxygen from entering
into the crankcase, where the rotating parts gather.

After the oxygen medium enters into the compressor through the 1st-stage gas valve
assembly, it is compressed at the fourth stage and is discharged out of the compressor, the gas
leaking from the piston ring in the whole process is collected into the balance chamber and is
returned to gas suction port through external connection 14 of the balance chamber; the leakage
at the crankcase side of the 1st- and 2nd-stage cylinder assembly is sealed by the 1st- and 2nd-stage
piston rod assembly 6, the location E and F on crankcase 18 and bearing block 20 of this
machine are open to atmosphere.

Process flow chart of 4-stage compression high-pressure oxygen compressor

When the user configures the pipelines of the compressor system, we recommend to adopt
the pattern of double buffer tanks, i.e., the gas suction port is equipped with a low-pressure
storage tank and the exhaust port is equipped with a high-pressure storage tank, the volume of
the storage tank is determined according to the flow capacity of the compressor, if necessary, the
user can contact our company’s technical department. In order to facilitate commissioning and
maintenance of the compressor, we recommend to provide a bypass valve for blowdown each at
the gas intake and exhaust port.
System process: the oxygen to be compressed enters into 1st-stage cylinder of the
compressor through the filter and gas intake solenoid valve, after being compressed by the first
stage, it is discharged into the first-stage cooler for cooling, and then discharged into the
second-stage cylinder and is cooled ...... until it is compressed and cooled at the fourth-stage
cylinder, and then is discharged through the check valve. The compressor cylinder and cooler are
cooled by water.
- 12 -
4.2 Control mode
The compressor adopts gas intake and exhaust pressure switch + gas intake and exhaust
solenoid valve automatic control (refer to the system flow chart and electrical schematic
diagram):
Gas intake and exhaust pressure switches are connected in series in the electric control
circuit of the compressor, where the gas intake pressure switch is a normally open type, used for
shutdown protection when the gas intake pressure is too low; the exhaust pressure switch is a
normally closed type, used for shutdown protection when the exhaust pressure is too high. The
specific control principle is: when the gas supply pressure reaches the upper limit of set value of
intake pressure switch, the pressure switch is closed, at this time, press the start button, the motor
runs, the gas intake solenoid valve is energized and is opened, exhaust solenoid valve is
de-energized and is closed, meanwhile, the fan is started and runs, and the compressor operates
normally. When the exhaust pressure rises up to the upper limit of the set value of the exhaust
pressure switch, the exhaust pressure switch acts, the machine stops running, meanwhile, the
intake solenoid valve is de-energized and closed; when the exhaust pressure drops to the lower
limit of the set value of the exhaust pressure switch, the exhaust pressure switch is closed, the
machine continues running, the oxygen filling machine needs to be reset manually and then can
run. When the gas supply pressure drops to the lower limit of the set value of intake pressure
switch, the intake pressure switch is opened, the machine stops running and stays in standby
state; when the gas supply pressure is restored to the upper limit of the set value of the intake
pressure switch, the intake pressure switch is closed, the machine continues running.
Temperature protection: each stage of the compressor is provided with a temperature sensor,
when the exhaust temperature of a stage is too high, an alarm will be given and the compressor
will be stopped.

V. Test run

5. Test run
5.1 The cooling water of the compressor must be the treated softened water, the water
intake pressure is greater than 0.3MPa, the water intake temperature is less than 32℃, and the
outlet water temperature is less than 4040℃.
5.2 Before installing electric appliances, be sure to check and confirm that the grid voltage
and frequency vary within ±5%, the wire diameter shall be able to meet the requirements for
motor power. Power line terminal screws must be tightened, otherwise, it is easy to cause
burnout of motor due to loss of phase.
5.3 After the compressor is installed completely, carry out test run only after confirming it
conforms to the requirements.
5.4 Before starting up the machine, bar over the machine for 2~3 revolutions with hands,
and the basic compressor shall rotate without obstacle. Open the intake valve and exhaust valve,
when the gas intake pressure rises to the set point, jog the compressor and check whether the
basic compressor and cooling water are normal. If they are normal, let the compressor run
without load for a few minutes, observe the operation of the machine; if the operation is not
normal, stop the machine and check if the water pressure is normal and if water channel is
blocked.
5.5 Increase the pressure to the rated pressure gradually, and check if there is abnormal
vibration, noise and heating during the machine running. Check if each controller acts according
to the specified operating conditions: stop the machine at the rated exhaust pressure, and see
whether the machine is re-started or started by manual reset at the rated lower limit; and see
whether shutdown protection is activated when the gas intake pressure is insufficient. Check
each display instrument displays normally and check the leakage of the entire gas compression
system, eliminate the fault in time, if any.
5.6 During the test run of the machine, please carefully observe its running, if there is
abnormal sound, abnormal vibration or abnormal heat generation, if finding any abnormal
phenomenon, be sure to shut down the machine and make checks, it is not allowed to continue
test run only after confirming the fault is eliminated.
5.7 After the test run is normal, the machine can be put into normal use.

c. Stuffing box disassembly procedure:


First, unscrew the connecting bolts between the 2nd-stage cylinder and the guide cylinder,
Pull the stuffing box component out of the guide cylinder as a whole, then unscrew the flange
connecting bolts of the piston rod and remove the stuffing box from the compressor as a whole.
Unscrew the piston rod nut 21, take off the piston rod flange 20, remove the stuffing box
cover 8, at this time the piston rod and piston assembly can be extracted.
Screw the bolt in at location a in the above figure, take off the stuffing box and take out the
packing box 5 from the center hole.
Disassembly procedure for the piston rod assembly: take off topmost 2nd-stage piston ring
17 and O ring 18 of 2nd-stage piston ring, insert an Allen wrench into the ring groove is inserted
into the threaded hole at the bottom of the ring groove, remove lock screw 15, rotate 3rd-stage
piston 9, and remove 2nd-stage piston 14.
The assembly procedure of this component is opposite to the above disassembly procedure,
note that:
1. When installing the stuffing box into the cylinder, a slight amount of dedicated grease
for oxygen can be applied on the O ring in order to avoid cutting of O ring;
2. During the assembling, notice the direction of the piston rod flange nut 21 and the
tightening torque is 450NM.

The structures of 1st stage and 4th stage in another column are similar to this and will not be
described in detail. The structure of the stuffing box of air-cooled double acting compressor is
also similar to this.
d. Disassembly of sealing ring
- 28 -
Disassembly procedure for sealing ring:
The seal ring used on a piston is usually specially called piston ring; and the seal ring used
on a piston rod is generally called packing seal ring. In the oilless high-pressure oxygen
compressor, the structures of the rings of two different uses are similar.
The disassembly procedure of the piston ring is: remove the piston ring directly, and then
just pick out the two O rings from the piston ring groove using a slenderer tool.
The installation procedure is just opposite to the disassembly procedure.
When installing the piston with the piston ring already installed into the cylinder, be sure
first to tighten the piston ring, and turn it into the cylinder as much as possible, forced operation
is not allowed.
The installation procedure of packing seal ring is: In Fig. 6, first, after mounting O ring 4
externally on stuffing box 3 and single packing box 5, put them on piston rod 19, fix packing box
5 so as to keep them outside the stuffing box, and then put 2 sets of packing seals (see Fig. 7)
onto the piston rod, and push them into the packing box, and then press O ring into the gap
between the packing box and packing seal in two times, and then press them into the stuffing box
together, then proceed to conduct installation of next packing box.
In order to remove the packing seal, it is just needed to take it off directly off the piston rod,
it is very simple.
Notice: unlike the piston ring, the O ring here is outside the packing seal.
e. Disassembly of gas valve
The gas valve in the oilless high-pressure oxygen compressor has two types of structure, i.
e., ring valve and reed valve. They are described as below:

Common questions

Powered by AI

The safety valve is a crucial component in the operation of a high-pressure oxygen compressor, acting as a barrier against overpressure incidents. It protects the compressor from exceeding its rated pressure, thus preventing potential hazards like system failure or explosion. Maintenance of the safety valve involves annual calibration by the local labor department to ensure its reliability and effectiveness. If the system pressure exceeds the rated limit, the cause must be identified and corrected before resuming operation .

Exceeding the compressor's nameplate pressure can lead to increased stress on components, resulting in ultrahigh exhaust temperatures and potential motor overload. These conditions can cause component damage, reduced equipment lifespan, and severe safety incidents such as explosions. Mitigation of these risks involves strict adherence to operating pressure limits, regular inspection and maintenance of safety valves, and immediate troubleshooting of any anomalies in system pressure or temperature .

The compressor's cooling is achieved through both air and water cooling systems, which help maintain optimal operating temperatures and prevent overheating. Structurally, the absence of lubricating oil subsystems simplifies the machine, making control and operation straightforward. The use of self-lubricating materials for components like piston rings further reduces friction and wear, enhancing the overall efficiency and lifecycle of the machine .

The installation process of the compressor is critical to its long-term reliability. Properly checking the compressor's nameplate, confirming voltage and frequency compatibility, and ensuring secure and appropriate grounding are essential steps in the installation process. These measures prevent system malfunctions and reduce the risk of electrical issues. Additionally, ensuring that necessary clearance and maintenance space are maintained around the compressor aids in effective heat dissipation and facilitates routine checks, contributing to the reliability and longevity of the equipment .

To prepare the oilless compressor for maintenance, the procedure involves stopping the unit and ensuring the power supply is cut off to prevent any accidental operation during servicing. The compressed gas in the unit must be completely emptied to avoid the risks associated with pressurized gas. Furthermore, it is required that all component parts be cleared of oil and grease to prevent contamination and ensure safe handling. These steps are critical to maintaining safety standards and ensuring that maintenance is performed under optimal conditions, protecting both the equipment and personnel .

The design of the oilless compressor offers several advantages in maintaining oxygen purity. First, it eliminates the need for thin oil lubrication in the entire compression system, thereby avoiding the potential for oil to contact and contaminate high-pressure, high-purity oxygen gas. This ensures that the oxygen gas remains pure throughout the compression process. Additionally, as the system does not include a lubricating oil supply subsystem, it reduces complexity and minimizes potential areas for contamination, while ensuring consistent oxygen purity at both the inlet and outlet .

The core safety precautions for operating the oilless high-pressure oxygen compressor include ensuring that the compressor is earthed reliably, the installation of a blast wall between the compressor and the cylinder filling area, and that all assembled parts on the compressor are free from oil and grease. Additionally, the power supply must be cut off, and all compressed gas in the system must be emptied before maintenance. Operators should avoid direct contact with pipeline components to prevent injury. Overpressure causes must be checked if the system pressure exceeds the rated pressure, and the safety valve must be checked annually. Moreover, personal protection gear is essential, and the compressor should not exceed its specified exhaust pressure to avoid equipment stress and potential safety hazards .

The compressor's fault analysis approach involves systematic assessment procedures, where each controller is monitored for function according to specified operating conditions. Observing for abnormal vibrations, noise, or overheating is essential for early detection of potential issues. This proactive examination allows for the timely identification and elimination of faults, thereby preventing them from escalating into major failures. This fault analysis is integral to preventive maintenance, enhancing reliability and extending the operational lifespan of the compressor .

The procedure involves systematic disassembly where components such as the stuffing box and piston rod assembly are removed in a specific sequence, using appropriate tools to avoid damage. Reassembly is performed in the reverse order, ensuring correct alignment, direction, and application of dedicated grease, particularly for O rings to prevent cuts. Adherence to specified torque settings for nuts and bolts is also mandatory. Careful adherence to these procedures ensures that components fit perfectly, operational integrity is maintained, and premature wear or failure due to improper handling or installation is prevented .

Ambient temperature and ventilation significantly impact compressor performance and safety. The compressor is designed to operate in environments where the ambient temperature is below 35℃, as higher temperatures can lead to overheating, reducing efficiency and potentially damaging components. Proper ventilation is essential to dissipate heat generated during operation and prevents accumulation of heated air, which could alter system pressures and operation thresholds, potentially leading to safety risks. Maintaining these environmental conditions ensures that the compressor functions optimally and safely .
