SYMPTOM

CAUSE Incompatible oil in compressor.

CORRECTION Review and analyze oil. Replace with proper lubricant. Rebuild or replace valve. Inspect inlet lter and air path, checking for voids.
Replace and repair as needed.

SUGGESTED MAINTENANCE
Every 1,500 - 2,000 hours Every 2,000 hours Up to every 4,000 hours (depending on air quality) Yearly OR when pressure dierential reaches 10 psi Change coolant lter Analyze lubricant Change air lter Change air/oil seperator

Frequent separator plug-up / collapse

Minimum pressure valve

sticking.

Ruptured intake air path/lter. Excessive air demand. Decreased discharge pressure Service valve open. Leaky service line. Plugged inlet air lter. Inlet valve partially closed.

Check plant air demand and inspect plant for air

leaks.

Close valve. Fix leaks. Clean or replace lter. Check inlet valve assembly and rebuild as needed. Re-set compressor safety. Check switch and verify that power is ON. Check power supply. Change separator element. Adjust setting. Clean after cooler. Inspect and replace as needed. Test and replace oil as needed. Drain receiver to proper level. Replace lubricant line. Inspect and clean coolers. Inspect temperature control valve. Check scavenge line connections. Make sure that scavenge line is cut at 45 angle,
reaches the bottom of the separator and isnt blocked.

SYMPTOM

CAUSE Sump lubricant low. Clogged or varnished heat

exchanger/oil cooler.

CORRECTION Fill lubricant. Inspect lubricant lines for blocks. Analyze lubricant. If varnish is present, ush with cleaner. Rebuild or replace by-pass valve.

Safety shut-down tripped. Failure to start Disconnected main switch. Power failure.

High discharge temperature

Faulty thermal by-pass valve. Restriction of heat exchanger

air ow.

Plugged air/oil separator. Remove restrictions. Check location and make sure there is no
restriction of cool fresh air.

Wrong air pressure setting. High power consumption Obstructed after cooler. Plugged inlet air lter. Lubricant viscosity issues. Overlled lubricant sump. Broken lubricant line. Excessive lubricant consumption High compressor discharge
temperature.

Insucient air circulation at

oil cooler.

Plugged oil lter element. Compressor operating too hot. Chemically active gases
present.

Replace oil lter element(s). See corrections for high discharge temperature. Review plant/operations/make-up air. Analyze oil and correct inlet air source as needed. Periodically drain receiver condensate. Inspect auto-drains, drain lines and valves. Drain, replace and analyze oil. Flush compressor with cleaner.

Premature lubricant breakdown

Improper receiver condensate

draining.

Improperly positioned Mixing incompatible lubricants.

lubricant return scavenge line.

Plugged scavenge line.
