1.2 Air flow


Air drawn through filters (1-Fig. 1.2) and inlet guide vanes (2-Fig. 1.2) is compressed in first compressor element (4-Fig. 1.2) and discharged to intercooler (11-Fig. 1.2). The cooled air is further compressed in second compressor element (5-Fig. 1.2) and blown through aftercooler (10-Fig. 1.3) and check valve (5-Fig. 1.1) towards the air net.

1.3 Condensate drain system


Two moisture traps are installed, one downstream of the intercooler (11-Fig. 1.2) to prevent condensate from entering the second compressor element and one downstream of the aftercooler (13-Fig. 1.1) to prevent condensate from entering the air outlet pipe. Each trap is provided with a float valve to automatically drain condensate and a manual drain valve.

2920 1485 00

Instruction book

During normal operation, oil is sucked up by the main oil pump from the reservoir through the strainer and is supplied to all bearings and gears. The operation of the auxiliary oil pump is automatically controlled by the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC - see section 1.7.5) to ensure sufficient oil pressure during start-up and shutdown, and also in case the oil supply pressure should become too low. The heater will warm up the oil in the reservoir to the required minimum temperature. The heater is automatically controlled by the PLC (see section 1.7.5). The thermostatic valve mixes heated oil from the reservoir and cooled oil from the oil cooler to maintain the temperature of the oil to the lubricating points as constant as possible. At starting, the temperature of the oil in the gearbox and the oil pressure are checked by the PLC. If the permissive start conditions are not fulfilled, the compressor will not start (see section 3.3). Oil fumes from the oil reservoir are sucked in by the oil demister and filtered inside the demister. Oil droplets are drained back to the oil reservoir.

1.7 Programmable Logic Controller - PLC


In general, the Programmable Logic Controller - PLC - has following functions: Controlling the capacity of the compressor Protecting the compressor Monitoring components subject to service Checking the start conditions Controlling the lubricating oil system 1.7.1 Controlling the capacity of the compressor The system includes: PLC (Fig. 1.11) Inlet guide vanes (4-Fig. 1.3) Blow-off valve (3-Fig. 1.1) The PLC continuously regulates the capacity of the compressor from maximum air capacity to a minimum capacity by controlling the position of the inlet guide vanes and blow-off valve. The compressors are standard provided with the constant pressure control system. As an option, the compressors may be provided with the AUTO-DUAL control system. Constant pressure control system (standard) The constant pressure control system is designed to continuously control the air output while keeping the net pressure fluctuations to a minimum. The PLC will continuously regulate: the position of the inlet guide vanes (from 100 % open to a minimum open position) the position of the blow-off valve (from 100 % closed to a minimum closed position) The air delivery will be matched to the air consumption while the net pressure is maintained as close as possible to the programmed pressure setpoint. The PLC takes into account a number of programmable settings such as the minimum stop time and maximum number of motor starts. In case the net pressure should rise to a programmed pressure, the compressor will be switched to completely unloaded running. The compressor may be stopped after running completely unloaded for a programmed time period. When the net pressure drops below a programmed pressure, the compressor will again run loaded, continuously regulating the air output as described above. See also section 1.9.7.1. AUTO-DUAL control system (option) The system is designed for applications with a large compressed air volume where the fluctuations in air demand are generally within the throttle range capability of the compressor, combined with occasional requirements for lower air flows. The PLC will regulate the position of the inlet guide vanes (IGV) to match the air delivery to the air consumption while maintaining the net pressure as close as possible to the programmed value (called Regulation setpoint). If the air consumption decreases causing the net pressure to exceed the programmed unloading pressure, the inlet guide vanes (IGV) will close to their minimum open position while simultaneously the blow-off valve (BOV) will be opened completely; the compressor runs unloaded. If the net pressure drops below the programmed loading pressure, the inlet guide vanes (IGV) will be completely opened while simultaneously the blow-off valve (BOV) will be fully closed. The PLC will again regulate the position of the inlet guide vanes (IGV) as described above.

Instruction book

The PLC takes into account a number of programmable settings such as the unloading pressure, loading pressure, minimum stop time and maximum number of motor starts. The compressor is stopped when possible (depending on the setting of the maximum number of motor starts) to reduce the power consumption. The compressor is restarted automatically when the net pressure drops below the programmed loading pressure.

1.7.2 Protecting the compressor Several temperature, pressure, vibration and oil level sensors are provided on the compressor. They are connected in the control circuit of the PLC. If an abnormal operating condition arises, a pictograph (Fig. 1.7) on the compressor control panel will blink to warn the operator. In case of a malfunction, the compressor is shut down and a pictograph (Fig. 1.8) on the control panel will blink to warn the operator. 1.7.2.1 Shut-down warning The shut-down warning level is a programmable setting below the shut-down level. If the PLC detects a vibration, temperature, pressure or oil level exceeding the programmed shut-down warning level, warning pictograph (Fig. 1.7) will blink to warn the operator before the shut-down level is reached. In case of a shut-down warning: The warning pictograph (Fig. 1.7) is blinking. Press button (F2-Fig. 1.9) after which the reason for this warning will appear on display (1-Fig. 1.9), e.g.: OIL SUPPLY TEMPERATURE NEW WARNING Press reset button (5-Fig. 1.9) to acknowledge this warning: the warning pictograph will light steadily and the message NEW WARNING will change into WARNING.

It remains possible to scroll through other screens after pressing Main menu button (F8-Fig. 1.9) to check the gearbox oil temperature as well as other actually measured values, and afterwards to return to the Main screen (Fig. 1.12). See also section 1.9.3. Check and remedy. The warning message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears. Remark If more messages need to be shown on the display, the messages will be displayed one after the other for a few seconds.

Fig. 1.7 Pictograph, shut-down warning Warning Before starting any maintenance or repair, stop the compressor, switch off the voltage and depressurize the compressor. Apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this book.

Instruction book

1.7.2.2 Shut-down If the PLC detects a vibration, temperature, pressure or oil level exceeding the programmed shut-down level, the compressor will be stopped and the shut-down pictograph (Fig. 1.8) will blink. The compressor will also be shut down in case of: An overload or undervoltage at the drive motor Surging of the compressor (see section 1.7.2.3) Failure of some important sensors In case of a shut-down: The shut-down pictograph (Fig. 1.8) is blinking. The message COMPRESSOR IS NOT READY TO START appears. Press button (F2-Fig. 1.9) after which the reason for this shut-down will appear on display (1-Fig. 1.9), e.g.: GEARBOX OIL TEMPERATURE NEW SHUTDOWN Press reset button (5-Fig. 1.9) to acknowledge this shut-down: the shut-down pictograph will light steadily and the message NEW SHUTDOWN will change into SHUTDOWN.

It remains possible to scroll through other screens after pressing Main menu button (F8-Fig. 1.9) to check the gearbox oil temperature as well as other values measured at the moment of shut-down, and afterwards to return to the Main screen (Fig. 1.12). See also section 1.9.3. Switch off the voltage and remedy. After remedying and disappearing of the shut-down condition, switch on the voltage and press reset button (5-Fig. 1.9). When the OK pictograph (5-Fig. 1.10) lights up green or starts blinking, the compressor can be restarted (message COMPRESSOR IS READY TO START). If not, press OK button (F5-Fig. 1.9) or button (F2-Fig. 1.9) to check which condition is not fulfilled to permit a restart. See also section 6.

Remark If more messages need to be shown on the display, the messages will be displayed one after the other for a few seconds.

Fig. 1.8 Pictograph, shut-down

1.7.2.3 Surge control Surge is recognized by rapid, rhythmic fluctuations of the discharge pressure. In case of prolonged unstable running, this operating condition may cause damage to the compressor. To prevent surging, the PLC has a surge anticipation system. The limit between stable and unstable operation is referred to as "surge line". To prevent the compressor from entering the unstable operating range, a safety margin to this surge line must be kept. This is called the control line and is set up during commissioning.

Instruction book

1.7.3 Monitoring components - service warning The PLC continuously monitors critical components subject to service: - motor grease - oil - oil filter - oil demister - cooler approach temperatures (is the temperature difference over the cooler between the cooling water inlet and the compressed air outlet) - PLC battery - air filters Each input is compared to the programmed limits. Exceeding these limits causes a message on the control display to warn the operator. In case of a service warning: Pictograph (11-Fig. 1.10) is blinking. Stop the compressor, switch off the voltage and replace the indicated component or take the necessary service action. Switch on the voltage and reset the actual lifetime of the component. See section 1.9.7.3. Press reset button (5-Fig. 1.9) and start the compressor.

1.7.4 Checking the start conditions At starting the programmed permissive start conditions (such as the minimum temperature of the oil in the gearbox and minimum oil pressure) are checked. If these conditions are not fulfilled, the compressor will not start. See section 3.3.

1.7.5 Controlling the lubricating oil system The PLC automatically controls the lubricating oil system, i.e.: Energize the oil heater (5-Fig. 1.4) Start and stop the auxiliary oil pump (12-Fig. 1.3)

When the compressor is not running and with key switch (9-Fig. 1.9) in position local (11) or remote (12), the oil in the oil reservoir will be kept at the correct temperature by switching on and off the oil heater and the auxiliary oil pump will periodically circulate the oil.

1.7.6 Start commands during minimum stop time Minimum stop time After stopping, the motor is prevented from restarting within a programmed time period which is set ex-factory at 240 seconds. A start command during this period is ignored.

1.7.7 Automatic restart after voltage failure For compressors leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired, the function can be activated. Consult Atlas Copco. Warning If activated, the compressor will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored within a programmed time period (between 0 seconds and 60 minutes), increased by the initiating time of the CPU (which takes about 35 seconds). The minimum stop time is taken into account. Automatic restarting after voltage failure is not allowed for medium-voltage motors. 1.7.8 External compressor status indication Auxiliary contacts are provided for external compressor status indication:

Description Install the compressor on a level floor suitable for taking the weight of the compressor. Recommended minimum distance between the top of the compressor and the ceiling is 150 cm for ventilation and lifting. Remove the cover from the air outlet pipe of the compressor and install the compressed air outlet valve. The valve must be provided locally. Connect the valve to the air net. See also section 2.3 for alignment tolerances. The pressure drop over the delivery pipe can be calculated as follows: dp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x P) dp L d P Qc = = = = = pressure drop (recommended maximum = 0.1 bar) length of delivery pipe in m inner diameter of the delivery pipe in mm absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a) free air delivery of the compressor in l/s

Fit the manual condensate drain valves (5 and 7-Fig. 3.1). Lay out the drain piping towards the condensate collector. The drain pipes must not dip into the water of the collector. It is strongly recommended to provide a funnel for each drain pipe to allow visual inspection of the condensate flow. Position of the control panel. Position of the medium voltage cable entry. Check that the electrical connections correspond to the local codes. The installation must be earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. An isolating switch must be installed near the compressor. Position of the low voltage cable entry. Position of the condensate drain valves. Remove the covers from the water inlet and outlet pipes. Install a water inlet and outlet valve, as well as drain valves. The valves must be provided locally. It is recommended to provide a strainer in the water inlet for filtering particles larger than 0.1 mm. The strainers have to be suitable for the cooling water flow. It is also recommended to install a 1 nipple in the water inlet and outlet pipes. Connect the inlet and outlet valves to the water net. See also section 2.3 for alignment tolerances.

2.3 Mounting of outlet piping


Atlas Copco ZH6000-10000 compressors with aftercooler are equipped with rubber compensators on the air and water connections. These compensators can cope with some minor misalignment (Fig. 2.5) when the customer pipe end is mounted. The allowable alignment tolerances for the different compensators are listed in the table below. See section 2.3.1. The piping system at customer side must be designed to fulfil the stated tolerances (both static and during operation). The compensators that are used are not suitable to carry the pressure thrust load. Make sure to adequately support and anchor the piping system. The compensator must not carry the weight of the customer pipe. Adequate supporting of the piping system shall be provided to avoid weight load on the compensator. For the design of piping and supporting structures, use an approved standard code (e.g. EN 13480 or ASME 16.5/B31.3).

2.4 Cooling water requirements


The cooling water quality must meet certain minimum requirements. No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds, solids and gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials. This recommendation is a general guideline for acceptable coolant quality.

2.4.1 Type of the system Closed system In a closed system, the same cooling water is circulating through a system without contact with air. Open system An open system is a pass-through system, or a circulating system with a cooling tower. In the latter case, the composition of the water that enters the cooler must be considered, and not the composition of the make-up water. Due to the evaporative effect in the cooling tower, much higher concentrations of ions can be obtained in the circulating water than in the make-up water.

2.4.2 Cooling water parameters The Rysnar stability index (RSI) The Rysnar Index (RSI) is a parameter for predicting whether water will tend to dissolve or precipitate calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling depositions and their effect are different on different materials, but the equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is only determined by its actual pH value and by the saturation pH value (pHs). The saturation pH value is determined by the relationship between the calcium hardness, the total alkalinity, the total solids concentration and the temperature. The Rysnar Index is calculated as follows: RSI = 2*pHs - pH Where: pH = measured pH (at room temperature) of water sample pHs= pH at saturation

2920 1485 00

54

Instruction book

The pHs is calculated by using: pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D) A: depends on the total solids concentration (mg/l). B: depends on the highest cooling water temperature (C), For ZH-units take: T = 65C C: depends on the calcium hardness (ppm CaCO3). D: depends on the HCO3- concentration or M-alkalinity (mval/l). The values from A, B, C and D are found in the table below. Total Dissolved solids (mg/l) 50 300 400 - 1000

The interpretation of the values obtained is: RSI < 6 boiler scale formation RSI 6 7 neutral water RSI > 7 corrosive water

2920 1485 00

55

Instruction book

A more detailed interpretation follows below: RSI RSI < 3.9 4.0 < RSI < 5.5 Tendency of the water Very high scale formation High boiler scale formation Action Water cannot be used Regular control and descaling operation necessary Water treatment not necessary Occasional inspection recommended Water treatment not necessary Occasional inspection recommended Water treatment not necessary Occasional inspection recommended Regular control necessary, use of corrosion inhibitor recommended Regular control necessary, use of corrosion inhibitor required Water should not be used

5.6 < RSI < 6.2 Slight boiler scale formation 6.3 < RSI < 6.8 6.9 < RSI < 7.5 7.6 < RSI < 9.0 9.1 < RSI < 11 RSI > 11 Neutral water Slight corrosion at higher temperature Strong corrosion Very strong corrosion Very strong corrosion in complete water system

This table indicates that distilled or demineralised water should never be used, as their RSI is >11. The RSI is only indicating the equilibrium of scaling descaling. Cooling water showing good RSI conditions can still be unsuitable due to other factors. From the table above, the RSI index should be between 5.6 and 7.5, otherwise contact a specialist. pH The effect of pH is already calculated in the Rysnar index, but the pH itself has some additional limitations: 6.8 < pH < 8.5 Total Dissolved solids (TDS) This is the sum of all ions in the water. It can be derived from the dry residue after evaporation (but not including suspended solids), or it can be estimated from the electrical conductivity. In a closed system, the following limits apply: TDS < 3000 mg/l (<3800 S/cm)

For an open system, the following limits apply: TDS < 750 mg/l (< 960 S/cm)

2920 1485 00

56

Instruction book

Chlorides (Cl-) Chloride ions will create pitting corrosion on stainless steel. Their concentration should be limited: Closed cooling system: Chlorides < 500 ppm Open cooling system: Chlorides < 150 ppm However, if the water is scaling, lower limits should be used. (See The Rysnar stability index (RSI)). Free chlorine (Cl2) Continuously, a level of 0.5 ppm should not be exceeded. For shock treatments, a maximum limit of 2 ppm for maximum 30 minutes/day applies. Sulphates (SO4--) Closed cooling system: Sulphates < 400 ppm Open cooling system: Sulphates < 150 ppm Carbonate hardness Closed cooling system: 50-1000 ppm CaCO3 Open cooling system: 50-500 ppm CaCO3 HCO3- / SO42- should be >1 Ammonia < 0.5 ppm Copper < 1 ppm Iron and Manganese < 1 ppm Organics No algae. No oil. Suspended solids Non-soluble particles, size < 1mm. < 10 ppm Remark Chloride and sulphate are interactive. In open systems the sum of the squares of these values must not exceed 85,000. For recirculating systems with proper controls and treatment, the sum of the squares may be up to 520,000. Note that the sulphate value must include any sulphite present.

3 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Safety precautions The operator must apply all related safety precautions including those mentioned in this book. Operating conditions If the ambient or air inlet temperatures can be beyond the limitations stated in section 7.4, precautions must be taken. In this case, and also if operating in other extreme conditions, consult Atlas Copco. Moving/lifting The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Make sure that the forks protrude from the other side of the frame. The compressor can also be lifted after inserting beams in the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such a way that the compressor will be lifted perpendicularly. Lift smoothly and avoid twisting.

3.1 Preparation for initial start-up


1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. Consult section 2 for the dimension drawings and installation proposal. Consult section 7.3 for the values of the circuit breakers and motor types. A sticker dealing in short with the operation is delivered with the compressor. Fit it next to the control panel. If not provided, stick warning labels next to the control panel and also on both sides of the compressor on an obvious place inside the bodywork indicating that the compressor is automatically controlled (started and stopped) by the PLC. A number of VCI (Volatile Corrosion Inhibitor) plates are provided inside the bodywork to protect the compressor against corrosion. Remove the plates. Check the voltage selecting wires at transformer (T1-Fig. 1.11) for correct connection (a label is stuck on the transformer). Check that key (3-Fig. 1.11) of the CPU is in position RUN and check the setting of circuit breakers (Q1/25/27/29-Figs. 1.11 and 2.4). See section 7.3. Remove the centre part of the drive coupling (4-Fig. 1.1). Have the drive motor alignment checked by an Atlas Copco representative. Start the drive motor and stop it immediately. Check the rotation of drive motor (1-Fig. 1.1) while the compressor is coasting to a stop: the correct rotation direction is counter-clockwise when looking at the drive end shaft of the motor. If wrong, switch off the voltage and reverse two incoming electric lines. Fit the centre part of the drive coupling using new bolts (4-Fig. 1.1). Check that the oil reservoir is filled with oil to the full mark of sight-glass (3-Fig. 3.2). See section 4.3. For drive motors equipped with sleeve bearings, check that oil is visible in the bearing sight-glasses. The outlet of the demister may be ducted outside of the bodywork. The maximum pressure drop over this pipe is 0.5 mbar. Never install valves in this pipe. Avoid any obstruction or liquid lock by sagging of the pipe. Check that the cooling water drain valves (customer's installation) in the inlet and outlet piping are closed. Check that the drain valve in the water inlet pipe (1-Fig. 3.4) is closed and the drain plug (2) is fitted. Open the water inlet and outlet valves (customer's installation), as well as the flow regulating valves (2 and 4-Fig. 3.3). Check for water flow. Close the condensate drain valves (5 and 7-Fig. 3.1).

Switch on the voltage and put key switch (17) in position local (vertical position). Check, if the oil temperature is below 38 C, whether the oil heater is activated (pictograph 1 is lit up green). Check that the auxiliary oil pump (7-Fig. 3.3) starts running (pictograph 6 is lit up green) (or starts after a period of time, controlled by the PLC). Check the rotation direction of the motor (8-Fig. 3.3) of the oil pump: the correct rotation direction is clockwise when looking at the drive end shaft of the motor; if wrong, switch off the voltage and reverse two incoming electric lines at circuit breaker (Q25-Figs. 1.11 and 2.4). Wait until the starting conditions are fulfilled (see section 3.3): pictograph (5) is lit up green or blinks to indicate that the compressor may be started. See section 1.8. Check the rotation of fan motor (1-Fig. 5.5) of the demister: the correct rotation direction is clockwise when looking at the drive end shaft of the motor. If wrong, switch off the voltage and reverse two incoming electric lines at circuit breaker (Q27-Figs. 1.11 and 2.4). Have the tuning of inlet guide vanes (3-Fig. 3.3) and blow-off valve (1) checked by an Atlas Copco representative. Have the settings programmed in the PLC checked by an Atlas Copco representative.

3.2 Compressor control modes


Key switch (17) allows the operator to select three control modes: 24 Compressor off: The PLC will not react to any start/stop command. The oil will not be heated and not circulated. Local control mode (remote control mode is made inactive): The compressor can only be controlled by the buttons on the control panel. The oil is kept on temperature and the oil pump is operative (started or stopped by the PLC). Remote control mode (local control is made inactive): The compressor will only react to start/stop and manual load/unload commands by external switches. Emergency stop button (18) remains active. The oil is kept on temperature and the oil pump is operative (started or stopped by the PLC).

25

26

Important The PLC will only react to a new control mode if the new position of the control mode switch is maintained for 3 seconds. To avoid unauthorized switching over to another control mode, take out the key after selecting the required mode.

3.3 Before starting


Attention Before starting the compressor, the oil temperature must exceed 25C; immediately after pressing the start button, the oil pressure must exceed 0.2 bar(e). If these conditions are not fulfilled (pictograph 5 is not lit up green), the compressor will not start; after pressing button (F5), a message indicating the fault will appear on display (11). It is recommended to keep key switch (17) in the position local control (vertical position) or remote control (switched to the right) to keep the oil heater energized and the auxiliary oil pump operative (started and stopped by the PLC). See section 1.7.5. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Check the oil level (3-Fig. 3.2) which must be in the green range or above. Top up, if necessary, with the correct type of oil. See section 4.3. For drive motors equipped with sleeve bearings, check that oil is visible in the bearing sight-glasses. Close condensate drain valves (5 and 7-Fig. 3.1). Open the air outlet valve. If the cooling water was drained (see section 3.7): close the drain valve (1-Fig. 3.4) in the water inlet pipe and fit the drain plug (2) fit the drain plugs (6-Fig. 3.3) underneath all coolers Open the water inlet valve and outlet valve. Open the water flow regulating valves (2 and 4-Fig. 3.3). Opening of these valves can be overlooked if, after previous operation, the settings have not been disturbed.
