SECTION 5
LUBRICATION
OIL COOLER, OIL FILTER & SEPARATOR
COMPRESSOR OIL SYSTEM (Figure 5-3, page 76) cools the compressor, lubricates moving parts and
seals internal clearances in the compression chamber.
The oil inlet line is connected at the bottom of the oil reservoir. Air pressure in the oil reservoir forces oil
through the oil cooler, thermostatic mixing valve, oil filter and into the compressor main oil gallery.
The oil passes through internal passages for lubrication, cooling and sealing. The air/oil mixture is then
discharged to the oil reservoir where a large part of the entrained oil drops out of the air stream; the air
then passes through the final oil separator where most of the remaining oil is removed. The separated oil
is returned to the compressor and the air passes to the final discharge line.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT - Gardner Denver compressors are factory filled with AEON lubricants.
These lubricants are formulated to the highest quality standards and are factory authorized, tested and
approved for use in rotary screw compressors. AEON lubricants are available through your authorized
Gardner Denver compressor distributor.
OIL SPECIFICATIONS - The factory fill compressor lubricant is Gardner Denver AEON 9000 SP
lubricating coolant which can be used for year-round operation. AEON 9000 SP is a synthetic, extended
life lubricant which can extend lubricant change intervals up to 4 times that of a petroleum based
lubricant.
A lubricant analysis program for a periodic check of lubricant quality and remaining life can maximize the
change interval.

Use of improper lubricants will cause damage to equipment. Do not mix

different types of lubricants or use inferior lubricants.
C
CAAU
UTTIIO
ONN
Improper equipment maintenance with use of synthetic lubricants will damage

equipment. For oil filter and oil separator change intervals, see Maintenance
Schedule, page 80.
HIGH TEMPERATURE OPERATION - Gardner Denver AEON 9000 SP lubricating coolant will operate at
a sustained discharge temperature up to 210° F (99° C). When unusually high ambient air temperature is
encountered, it will shorten the lubricant life; see Figure 5-7, page 82.
Air/oil under pressure will cause severe personal injury or death. Shut down
compressor, relieve system of all pressure, disconnect, lockout and tagout
power supply to the starter before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts
and filters.

All materials used in Gardner Denver compressor units are compatible with
AEON 9000 SP Lubricating Coolant. Use caution when selecting downstream
components such as air line lubricating bowls, gaskets and valve trim.
AEON 9000 SP Synthetic Lubricant is not compatible with low nitrile Buna N or
acrylic paints. AEON 9000 SP is compatible with most air system downstream
components.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are available for all AEON lubricants from your authorized Gardner
Denver distributor or by calling 217-222-5400.
MOISTURE IN THE OIL SYSTEM – In environments with normal operating temperatures and pressures
and low relative humidity, the thermal mixing valve controls the oil temperature and prevents moisture
accumulation in the oil. Unusual cooling of the oil reservoir, light duty cycles, high humidity, gross
compressor over-sizing or malfunctions of the thermal mixing valve may result in moisture accumulation
which is detrimental to compressor lubrication and may cause excessive oil carryover in the lubricant or
compressor failure. Please note that the airend discharge temperature must be maintained a minimum of
10° F above the pressure dew point temperature in Figure 5-1, page 75. Failure to maintain the
discharge temperature will cause moisture formation and compressor damage. The compressor must be
observed to ensure that it is operating properly. The best method for detecting moisture is a disciplined
lubricant sampling analysis program every 2,000 hours of operation. If moisture is observed in the oil
reservoir, drain the moisture and correct the operating conditions to reduce moisture. See “Thermal
Control (Thermostatic Mixing) Valve, page 85, “Water Shutoff Valve”, page 70 and “Compressor Oil
System Check”, page 90, for additional system considerations. If moisture accumulation is observed in
the lubricant, the best option is a higher temperature mixing valve, AEON 9000TH lubricating fluid and
setting the high discharge temperature shutdown to 240° F (new controller software may be required), to
prevent water from forming in the oil. Please contact Technical Services in MDC for part numbers,
availability and controller software version verification (S/N required).

Figure 5-4 – OIL FLOW DIAGRAM – REMOTE OVERHEAD MOUNTED COOLER

REMOTE MOUNTED ELEVATED COOLER ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE - The Compressor package will
be built and tested with the coolers mounted on the package. On enclosed units, the fan motor will be
disconnected after test and the vent fan motor connected in its place. The vent fan will be mounted in the
enclosure. A contactor (starter) will be shipped loose and remote mounted with the cooler by others upon
start-up at the job site. The control box will be wired for remote elevated coolers at the factory.
NOTICE
All requirements of local codes should be followed.
When connecting pipe fittings to the cooler, support the threaded coupling with a pipe wrench when
tightening the connection. Use silicone sealant on all steel to aluminum threaded connections. All piping
should be firmly supported to avoid strain on the cooler manifold and connections. Flexible connections
should be installed in all interconnecting piping, adjacent to the cooler, to avoid transmitting piping weight
or vibrations to the cooler elements. Before beginning installations, check to be sure that no debris or
foreign matter remains in the couplings or cooler bodies. Be certain interconnecting piping is clean to
avoid clogging the cooler passages.
Figure 5-5 – COOLER DRAIN DETAIL
AFTERCOOLER PIPING - At shutdown of the system, all units should be drained completely of
condensate if there is any possibility of freezing or corrosion damage. To help remove the condensate,
the cooler may be tapped per Figure 5-5, page 78, and a drain cock installed. After opening the drain
cock, blow air into the cooler from a connection on the opposite side of the cooler. At the same time the
connection on the drain side of the cooler should be plugged. The drain cock should be left open until the
machines are ready for start-up.
Failure to remove condensate from an idle cooler in freezing temperatures will

cause permanent cooler damage. Drain condensate after system shutdown. It
is the owner/operator's responsibility to ensure that condensate has been
drained and cooler dried out to prevent cooler damage.
NOTICE
When removing the cooling module from the package for remote operation, do
not use the flexible coupling (when supplied) between the air/oil separator
housing and the minimum pressure/check valve. The discharge piping from the
air/oil separator housing should be piped into the minimum pressure/check
valve, then into piping to the cooler, with a flexible connection between the
minimum pressure/check valve and aftercooler to keep the weight of the piping
off of the cooler.
HEAT EXCHANGER (OIL) PIPING - All remote elevated cooler applications must be sent through
Engineering for approval and for recommending pipe size. When the cooling module is removed from the
package, the thermal mixing valve (H) remains on the package. Control group part number 200ECM4002
will be mounted on package at the factory. This group controls the oil stop valve as well as not allowing
machine to run blown down. See Figure 5-4, page 77.
NOTICE
Remote mounted elevated coolers have a maximum pipe length of 30 feet (9 M)
(each way) and a maximum height of 20 feet (6 M) with a minimum of fittings. A
remote elevated cooler form, J214, is required to be filled out. Customer
Service will review all forms while in the quote stage. Customer Service will
include the filled out J214 form on any special orders sent to Engineering.
NOTICE
When removing the cooling module from the package for remote operation, the
oil stop valve and the check valve that are shipped loose should be mounted as
close to the compressor package as possible. Flexible connections should be
used to keep the weight of the piping off of the cooler.
Kit number 200EAP4013 includes the oil stop valve, check valve and flanges and must be installed on all
remote elevated coolers per Figure 5-4, page 77, and the following instructions:
1. Mount the check valve (90J113) as shown.
2. Mount the drain valves in the lowest section of the pipe on each side of the cooler connections.
3. Mount the oil stop valve (90AR243) in the line after the thermal mixing valve as shown.
Modifications to the control lines will be made at the factory per 288ECM810 schematic. Air to the oil stop
valve must come from the upper fitting in the separator housing, and then pass through the 3-way
pneumatic valve. Control air to the valve must be from the line between the tee and the orifice in the
blowdown muffler line per Figure 5-4, page 77. When the machine blows down, it will activate the
pneumatic valve and it will shut off the air and vent the line between the pneumatic control valve and the
oil stop valve to atmosphere. This will shut the oil stop valve and prevent excessive oil from running into
the reservoir.
Failure to install these parts or installations with pipe lengths and/or vertical runs outside the
recommended limits, could result in high oil carryover and cause the machine to shut down on
high discharge temperature.
COLD AMBIENT OPERATION - See “Installation for Cold Weather Operation,” Section 2.
ADDITION OF OIL BETWEEN CHANGES must be made when the oil level is in the red range on the
gauge as read while the unit is on. To add oil, follow these steps:
1. Be sure the unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2. Disconnect, lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter.
3. Wipe away all dirt around the oil filler plug.
4. Remove the oil filler plug and add oil as required to return the oil level to the center of the green
range on the gauge.
5. Install the oil filler plug, restore power, run and check for leaks.
DO NOT OVERFILL. The quantity required to raise the oil level from the red range center of the green
range is shown in Figure 5-6, page 81. Repeated addition of oil between oil changes may indicate
excessive oil carry-over and should be investigated.
and filters.
Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separation chamber and all piping and tubing
may be at high temperature during and after operation.
C
CAAU
UTTIIO
ONN
Excessive oil carry-over can damage equipment. Never fill oil reservoir above
the "FULL" marker.
LUBRICANT CHANGE PROCEDURE - Following are the primary steps to be completed when upgrading
or changing the type of lubricant.
1. Thoroughly drain system:
- Drain oil from air end and cooler while hot.

- Break low point connections and drain oil from pipe runs.
- Dump oil from the filter and reinstall used filter.
2. Fill the system with a 50 percent charge of the new lubricant:
- Start the machine and stay there to observe.
- Allow the machine to run about five minutes at temperature, or until temperature stabilizes, then
shut down.
3. Thoroughly drain the machine.
4. Change to a new filter and separator.
5. Fill the system with a full charge of the new lubricant, then reinstall drain plug.
6. Machine should then be run normally; however, total run time after the initial change out should be
50 percent of normal anticipated service life of the new lubricant.
- Drain all lubricant from the system, change the filter and separator, and replace with a full
charge of the new lubricant.
7. Subsequent lubricant change outs should be at normal intervals. (See “Oil Change Interval” and
Figure 5-7, page 82).
OIL LEVEL GAUGE (Figure 1-6, page 12 and Figure 5-6) indicates the amount of oil in the oil reservoir.
Read oil level only when unit is on. In operation the oil level will fluctuate as the compressor loads and
unloads. Add oil only when the oil is at the bottom of the red range on the gauge as read when the
compressor is on. Drain oil only when the oil level is above the center of the green range on the gauge
as read when the compressor is on.
Figure 5-6 – OIL LEVEL GAUGE
OIL CHANGE INTERVAL - Recommended oil change intervals are based on oil temperature. Figure 5-7,
shows how the change interval is affected by temperature.
When operating conditions are severe (very dusty, high humidity, etc.), it will be necessary to change the
oil more frequently. Operating conditions and the appearance of the drained oil must be surveyed and
the oil change intervals planned accordingly by the user. Gardner Denver offers a free oil analysis
program with the AEON lubricants and we recommend a sample be sent in at 100 hours on a new unit.

Always drain the complete system. Draining when the oil is hot will help to prevent varnish deposits and
carry away impurities.
To drain the system, use one of the following methods:
1. If the unit is not elevated high enough to use the oil reservoir drain line to drain oil, a small
hand, electric or air operated pump should be used to drain reservoir through the oil filler
opening or from the drain valve.
2. If the unit is elevated so that the oil reservoir drain can be used, empty the oil reservoir through
the drain valve to a suitable container or sump.
3. If the drained oil and/or the oil filter element are contaminated with dirt, flush the entire system:
reservoir, oil cooler, mixing valve and lines. Inspect the oil separator elements for dirt
accumulation; replace if necessary. If a varnish deposit exists, contact the factory for
recommendations for removal of the deposit and prevention of varnish.
FILLING OIL RESERVOIR

range on the gauge.
5. Install the oil filler plug and operate the unit for about a minute allowing oil to fill all areas of the
system. Check for leaks.
6. Shut down unit, allowing the oil to settle, and be certain all pressure is relieved.
7. Add oil, if necessary, to bring level to the center of the green range on the gauge.
On unloaded operation and after shutdown some oil will drain back into the oil reservoir and the oil level
gauge will read “FULL.” DO NOT DRAIN OIL TO CORRECT. On the next start, oil will again fill the
system and the gauge will indicate operating at the proper level. DO NOT OVERFILL as oil carryover will
result. The quantity of oil required to raise the oil level from “ADD” to “FULL” is shown in Figure 5-8.
Repeated addition of oil between changes may indicate excessive oil carryover and should be
investigated.
Use only CLEAN containers and funnels so no dirt enters the reservoir. Provide for clean storage of oils.
Changing the oil will be of little benefit if done in a careless manner.

COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER (Figure 5-3, Page 76) - This screw on oil filter is a vital part in maintaining a
trouble-free compressor, since it removes dirt and abrasives from the circulated oil. The oil filter relief
valve is located in the oil filter head. The relief valve opens in the event the element becomes dirty
enough to block the flow of oil.

Improper oil filter maintenance will cause damage to equipment. Replace filter
element every 1000 hours of operation. More frequent replacement could be
required depending on operating conditions. A filter element left in service too
long may damage equipment.
Use only the replacement element shown on the filter tag or refer to the parts list for the part number. Use
the following procedure to replace the filter element. Do not disturb the piping.
and filters.
1. Stop the unit and be sure no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2. Remove the spin-on element.
3. Clean the gasket face of the filter body.
4. Coat the new element gasket with clean lubricant used in the unit.
5. Screw the new element on the filter body and tighten by hand. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE
ELEMENT.
6. Run the unit and check for leaks.

COMPRESSOR OIL COOLER - RADIATOR TYPE (Figure 1-5, page 11) - The oil cooler motor and fan is
mounted on the oil cooler module; air is exhausted through the oil cooler and away from the unit. Do not
obstruct air flow to and from the oil cooler. Allow a minimum of three (3) feet clearance around the cooler.
Keep both faces of cooler core clean for efficient cooling of compressor oil.
Figure 5-9 – THERMOSTATIC MIXING VALVE ELEMENT
THERMAL CONTROL (THERMOSTATIC MIXING) VALVE (Figure 5-9) is installed in system as shown
in Figure 5-3, page 76. This valve is used to control temperature of the oil in both air-cooled radiator and
water-cooled heat exchanger type oil cooler systems. On start-up with unit cold, element is open to
bypass, allowing oil to pass directly from the reservoir to compressor during warm-up. As oil warms,
element gradually closes to the bypass allowing more of the oil from the cooler to mix with oil from the
bypass.
After the unit is warmed up, the mixing valve maintains oil injection temperature into the compressor at a
minimum of 160° F (71° C). This system provides proper compressor warm-up and helps prevent
moisture contamination of oil.
To check element, heat in oil - it should be fully extended at 160° F (71° C). If unit shuts down due to
high air discharge temperature, it may be that one or both thermostatic mixing valve elements (Figure 5-3,
page 76) are stuck open. Remove mixing valve and clean all parts thoroughly when flushing the oil
system.
COMPRESSOR OIL COOLER - WATER-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER (Figure 5-3, page 76) - The
heat exchanger oil cooler is a multiple pass type, with water in the tubes and oil in the shell. The oil
temperature is controlled by the thermal (thermostatic mixing) valve. The optional water control valve
may be used to conserve water.
It is mandatory that any water-cooled unit be installed in a shelter heated to
temperatures above freezing (32° F, 0° C).
Oil cooler malfunction may be traced by checking pressure at oil inlet and outlet. At normal operating air
service pressure (65 psig to 150 psig, 4.5 bar to 10.3 bar) with the unit warm, a pressure drop of 3 psi to
15 psi (.2 bar to 1 bar) can be expected between the oil inlet and the oil outlet.
Water pressure drop from water inlet to outlet will vary with the inlet pressure and amount of water
flowing. A normal pressure drop may range from 5 psi to 10 psi (.3 bar to .7 bar). Any change in the
pressure drop from that normally held may indicate tube leakage or fouling and should be investigated.
In many instances, the cooling water supply for the heat exchanger will contain impurities in solution
and/or suspension. These substances can cause scale formation, corrosion and plugging of any water-
cooled heat exchanger equipment. Disregarding the possibility that one or more of these conditions exist
may result in increased maintenance and operation expense, reduced equipment life and emergency
shutdown. It is strongly recommended that a reputable, local water treatment concern be engaged to
establish the corrosion, scale forming and fouling tendency of the cooling water and take steps necessary
to remedy the situation if a problem does exist. The need for water treatment may involve only filtration
(screening) to remove debris, sand and/or salt in the cooling water supply. However, chemical treatment
methods may be necessary in certain instances to inhibit corrosion and/or remove dissolved solids, to
alter the water’s tendency to form scale deposits, or prevent the growth of microorganisms. The normal
maintenance program for the unit should also include periodic cleaning of the tubes (water side) of the
heat exchanger to remove deposits which enhance fouling and corrosion.
Hex head zinc anodes are used in the return bonnet (opposite end to the water pipe connections) of heat
exchangers to provide internal water system corrosion protection. These anodes should be inspected
periodically and replaced when the zinc has been reduced to about 1/2 inch (13mm) in length.
Figure 5-10 – WATER CONTROL VALVE

WATER FLOW CONTROL VALVE FOR HEAT EXCHANGER (Optional Equipment) (Figure 5-10, page
86) - The water flow control valve is adjustable to compensate for varying water inlet temperatures and
pressures and is to be mounted in the water outlet line after the oil cooler (Figure 5-3, page 76). Use the
compressor discharge air temperature gauge on the instrument panel in setting the flow control valve.
The compressor discharge temperature must be maintained a minimum of 10° F (5° C) above the dew
point temperature at the maximum anticipated ambient; refer to Figure 5-11, for the dew point
temperature at the operating pressure and ambient temperature of the application.
Figure 5-11 – DEW POINT TEMPERATURE VS. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

(100% RELATIVE HUMIDITY)
To decrease water flow (increase compressor discharge air temperature) turn the adjusting screw from
left to right, increasing spring tension. To increase water flow (decrease compressor discharge air
temperature) turn the adjusting screw in the opposite direction. The groove at the lower edge of the
adjusting screw is an index line for use with the index scale 0 to 8 in obtaining a desired setting.
These valves must be handled with care and proper tools and techniques must be used when working on
the valve.
Care must be used when handling the capillary tube; a kink or break in the tubing or connections will
make the valve inoperative. Never attempt to change capillary length. Excess capillary tube should be
carefully coiled and placed so that damage will not occur in normal maintenance or traffic past the unit.
If a leak develops through the packing, tighten the packing gland nut firmly with a wrench to reseat the
packing around the valve stem, then back off the nut until loose, and finally retighten the nut finger tight.
Tightening the packing nut too tight may cause erratic operation. An occasional drop of oil on the valve
stem at the packing nut will prolong packing life.
If valve malfunctions, check for bent or binding, paint or corrosion on valve stem, foreign material in valve,
erosion, or thermal system (capillary) failure. If foreign material or scale is likely, the use of a strainer in
the inlet water line is recommended.
WATER SHUTOFF VALVE - WATER-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER (Optional Equipment) (Figure 5-3,
page 76) - A magnetic solenoid-operated water shutoff valve rated at 150 psig (10.3 bar) water pressure
should be mounted in the water outlet line after the oil cooler. The valve should be wired into the
compressor control circuit so that the valve opens to allow water to flow any time the compressor is
running. When compressor stops under automatic control, or is shut off manually, the valve should close,
stopping water flow through the system. See Wiring Diagrams in Section 4.
OIL RESERVOIR - The oil reservoir-separator combines multiple functions into one vessel. The lower
half is the oil reservoir, providing oil storage capacity for the system and the top portion, a primary oil
separation means. The reservoir also provides limited air storage for control and gauge actuation.
Figure 5-12 – OIL SEPARATOR
COMPRESSOR (GD ELIMINATOR™) OIL SEPARATOR located in a separate housing, consists of a

renewable cartridge-type separator element and provides the final removal of oil from the air stream
(Figure 5-12).
Oil impinging on the inside of the separator element drains directly back into the oil reservoir by gravity.
Oil collected outside the element is returned through tubing to the compressor cylinder.
Oil carryover through the service lines may be caused by a faulty oil separator, faulty minimum pressure
valve, over-filling of the oil reservoir, oil that foams, oil return line malfunction or water condensate in the
oil. If oil carryover occurs, inspect the separator only after it is determined that the oil level is not too high,
the oil is not foaming excessively, the oil return line from the separator housing to the compressor cylinder
is not clogged or pinched off, the check valve in the oil return line is functioning properly, and there is not
water or an oil/water emulsion in the oil.
Oil carryover malfunctions of the oil separator are usually due to using elements too long, heavy dirt or
varnish deposits caused by inadequate air filter service, use of improper oil or using oil too long for
existing conditions. A ruptured or collapsed separator element is usually due to heavy dirt or varnish
buildup in the filtering material. Excessive tilt angle of the unit will also hamper separation and cause oil
carryover.
Oil separator element life cannot be predicted; it will vary greatly depending on the conditions of
operation, the quality of the oil used and the maintenance of the oil and air filters. The condition of the
separator can be determined by pressure differential gauging or by inspection.
Pressure Differential Gauging - The “CHANGE SEPARATOR” advisory will flash when the pressure
differential across the oil separator reaches approximately 8 psid (.55 bar). Replace the oil separator
element at this time. If ignored, the unit will shut down and the advisory will illuminate steadily when the
pressure differential reaches 15 psid (1 bar).
Using an oil separator element at excessive pressure differential can cause

damage to equipment. Replace the separator when the "Change Separator"
advisory appears.
NOTICE
A sudden drop of zero pressure differential or sudden heavy oil carryover may
indicate a ruptured element.
Inspection - After removal of separator element, shine a light inside the element to reveal areas of heavy
dirt or varnish deposits or breaks (ruptures) in the element media.
Removal Of Oil Separator For Inspection Or Replacement:
and filters.
1. Be certain unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2. Disconnect, lockout and tagout power supply to the starter.
3. Remove screws holding the top plate to the separator housing. Lift the top plate from the
separator housing.
4. Lift the separator from the separator housing.
5. Inspect and/or replace the separator as necessary. Be sure the o-ring is not damaged. Before
installing (or reinstalling) any separator apply grease to the o-ring. Oil will be wiped off by the
chamfer and the o-ring could be damaged.
6. Remove any gasket material adhering to top plate or separator housing, and install new gasket.
7. Lower the separator into the housing and center the separator on the chamfer. Press separator
down into the housing. Do not use excessive force as separator damage can occur.
8. Place the spacer on the indent in the separator. Seat the top plate to the separator, spacer and
separator housing. Install and tighten all cap screws.
COMPRESSOR OIL SYSTEM CHECK - The following readings are based on ambient temperature of
80° F (27° C) for air-cooled oil cooler and 80° F (27° C) inlet water on water-cooled oil cooler, with the
system in good condition. Compressor should be at operating temperature at the time of checks. One-
half hour of loaded operation is usually sufficient to reach level-out operating temperatures.
Air and Oil Discharge Temperature - 165° F to 195° F (74° C to 91° C) - Read at gauge on the
instrument panel or check with a thermometer at the discharge housing.
Compressor Oil Inlet Temperature - 150° F to 160° F (66° C to 71° C) - Install a tee at the oil filter outlet
and check with a thermometer.
Oil Inlet Pressure - Check at the fitting in the line near the compressor oil inlet. With air receiver
pressure at 100 psi (6.9 bar), oil inlet pressure should be 55 psig to 60 psig (3.8 bar to 4.1 bar).
Oil Cooler Oil Pressure Differential (Air-Cooled Radiator) - Check differential across oil system by
measuring oil inlet pressure as described above.
Oil Cooler Oil Pressure Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger) – 2 psid to 25 psid (.1 bar to 1.7
bar) (65 psig to 150 psig, 4.5 bar to 10.3 bar receiver pressure) - Check that oil inlet pressure is correct or
measure the differential between drains on the oil cooler shell.
Oil Cooler Temperature Differential (Air-Cooled Radiator) - The oil temperature differential depends
on the temperature of the air at the oil cooler fan and cleanliness of core faces. As ambient temperatures
and core restrictions increase, the oil cooler outlet temperature will increase. The oil inlet temperature is
approximately the same as air discharge temperature - see the gauge on the instrument panel. The
outlet oil temperature may be checked by installing a tee at the oil filter outlet.
Oil Cooler Temperature Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger) - The oil temperature differential
depends on the inlet water temperature and the water flow rate permitted by the water flow control valve
setting. The oil inlet temperature is approximately the same as the air discharge temperature - see the
gauge on the instrument panel. The oil outlet temperature may be checked by installing a tee at the oil
filter outlet.
Oil Cooler Water Pressure Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger) - The water pressure
differential through the heat exchanger will depend on the supply pressure, flow rate, cooler tube
cleanliness and outlet pressure. The inlet and outlet water pressure may be checked at the pipe fittings
supplied by the customer.

SECTION 1
GENERAL INFORMATION
Figure 1-1 – COMPRESSION CYCLE
COMPRESSOR - The Gardner Denver Rotary Screw compressor is a single stage, positive displacement
rotary machine using meshing helical rotors to effect compression. Both rotors are supported between
high capacity roller bearings located outside the compression chamber. Single width cylindrical roller
bearings are used at the inlet end of the rotors to carry part of the radial loads. Tapered roller bearings at
the discharge end locate each rotor axially and carry all thrust loads and the remainder of the radial loads.
COMPRESSION PRINCIPLE (Figure 1-1) - Compression is accomplished by the main and secondary
rotors synchronously meshing in a one-piece cylinder. The main rotor has four (4) helical lobes 90° apart.
The secondary rotor has six (6) matching helical grooves 60° apart to allow meshing with main rotor
lobes.
The air inlet port is located on top of the compressor cylinder near the drive shaft end. The discharge port
is near the bottom at the opposite end of the compressor cylinder. Figure 1-1 is an inverted view to show
inlet and discharge ports. The compression cycle begins as rotors unmesh at the inlet port and air is
drawn into the cavity between the main rotor lobes and secondary rotor grooves (A). When the rotors
pass the inlet port cutoff, air is trapped in the interlobe cavity and flows axially with the meshing rotors (B).
As meshing continues, more of the main rotor lobe enters the secondary rotor groove, normal volume is
reduced and pressure increases.
Oil is injected into the cylinder to remove the heat of compression and seal internal clearances. Volume
reduction and pressure increase continues until the air/oil mixture trapped in the interlobe cavity by the
rotors passes the discharge port and is released to the oil reservoir (C). Each rotor cavity follows the
same “fill-compress-discharge” cycle in rapid succession to produce a discharge air flow that is
continuous, smooth and shock free.
AIR FLOW IN THE COMPRESSOR SYSTEM (Figure 5-3, page 47) - Air enters the air filter and passes
through the inlet unloader valve to the compressor. After compression, the air/oil mixture passes into the
oil reservoir where most of the entrained oil is removed by velocity change and impingement and drops
back into the reservoir. The air and remaining oil passes into the separator and separator housing where
the oil is separated and passes through tubing connecting the separator housing and compressor. The
air passes through the minimum pressure valve, discharge check valve and cooler, then to the plant air
lines.
13-9-663 Page 9
LUBRICATION, COOLING AND SEALING - Oil is forced by air pressure from the oil reservoir through
the oil cooler, thermostatic mixing valve, and oil filter and discharges into the compressor main oil gallery.
A portion of the oil is directed through internal passages to the bearings, gears and shaft oil seal. The
balance of the oil is injected directly into the compression chamber to remove heat of compression, seal
internal clearances and lubricate the rotors.
TURN VALVE (ELECTRA-SAVER ONLY) - The turn valve is a rotary helical valve located on the
discharge side of the cylinder toward the inlet end. The valve opens and closes ports in the cylinder
which communicates with the inlet passage. This varies the compressor rotor volume to match the
demand for air, thus reducing the part-load power requirement.

incurred during transit. Report any damage or missing parts as soon as possible
C
CAAU
UTTIIO
ONN
Do not electric weld on the compressor or base; bearings can be damaged by

passage of current.
LIFTING UNIT - Proper lifting and/or transporting methods must be used to prevent damage. Lifting slots are
provided in the base for tow motor use. The unit may also be moved into location by rolling on bars.
C
CAAU
UTTIIO
ONN
Lift compressor package by base only. Do not use other places such as
motors, compressors or discharge manifold piping as lifting points.
The eyebolts or lugs provided on the motors are for lifting the motors only and
should not be used to lift any additional weight. All eyebolts must be securely
tightened. When lifting the motors, the lifting angle must not exceed 15
degrees. Failure to observe this warning may result in damage to equipment or
personal injury.
Compressor, air/oil reservoir, separator chamber and all piping and tubing may
be at high temperature during and after operation.
LOCATION - The compressor should be installed, whenever possible, in a clean, well-lighted, well-
ventilated area with ample space all around for maintenance. Select a location that provides a cool,
clean, dry source of air. In some cases it may be necessary to install the air filter at some distance from
the compressor to obtain proper air supply.
13-9-663 Page 13
Both the air-cooled and water-cooled units require cooling air as well as air to the compressor inlet.
Proper ventilation MUST be provided; hot air must be exhausted from the compressor operating area. A
typical inlet-outlet air flow arrangement is shown in Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 – TYPICAL COMPRESSOR ROOM
Air-Cooled Units - A combination oil/aftercooler is supplied as standard equipment on all air-cooled

units. The air-cooled unit with the standard enclosure requires sufficient flow, Figure 2-2, for the
compressor oil/aftercooling system and for electric motor cooling. Air is drawn into the unit at the motor
side of the enclosure and is exhausted at the oil cooler side. Do not block the air flow to and from the
unit. Allow three and one-half (3-1/2) feet (1.1 M) to the nearest obstruction on the starter end and control
box end of the unit. Allow three (3) feet (.9 M) to the nearest obstruction above and on other sides of unit.
For continuous efficiency, oil cooler cores must be periodically cleaned with either vacuum or compressed
air. If wet cleaning is required, shield motor and spray on a mild soap solution and flush with clean water.

For aluminum oil coolers, do not use any cleaning solution that is not
compatible with aluminum. Use of improper solution may result in damage to
the cooler.
Water-Cooled Units - The water-cooled unit with the standard enclosure requires sufficient air flow,
Figure 2-2, for electric motor cooling. Air is drawn into the unit at the top of the enclosure and is
exhausted at the motor side. Do not block air flow to and from unit. Allow three and one-half (3-1/2) feet
(1.1 m) to the nearest obstruction on the starter end and control box side of the unit. Allow three (3) feet
(.9 m) to the nearest obstruction above and on other sides of the unit.
FOUNDATION - The Gardner Denver Rotary Screw compressor requires no special foundation, but
should be mounted on a smooth, solid surface. Whenever possible install the unit near level. Temporary
installation may be made at a maximum 10° angle lengthwise or 10° sidewise.
Mounting bolts are not normally required. However, installation conditions such as piping rigidity, angle of
tilt, or danger of shifting from outside vibration or moving vehicles may require the use of mounting bolts
and shims to provide uniform support for the base.
OIL RESERVOIR DRAIN - The oil drain is piped from the bottom of the reservoir to the side of the frame.
This drain is approximately 4.50 inches (115 mm) above the floor level. If this is not sufficient to
conveniently drain the oil some other methods of providing drain are:
1. Elevate the compressor unit on a suitable structure to obtain the desired drain height.
2. Construct an oil sump or trough below the floor level and pump or bail the drained oil.
3. Pump oil from the reservoir filler opening or drain to a container.
C
CAAU
UTTIIO
ONN
If the compressor unit base is raised above floor level, the space between the
floor and the base bottom must be closed with solid material all around to
prevent recirculation of hot air from the oil cooler end and over temperature
operation.
ENCLOSURE - The compressor, electric motor, oil cooler and aftercooler are mounted inside the
enclosure. Service doors are provided for maintenance access. Be sure to allow enough space around
the unit for the doors to open completely. Any of the enclosure doors may be removed by opening the
door and lifting it up slightly to disengage the hinges.
The motor inspection/air filter service panel is held by two latches and lifts away from the enclosure. The
air outlet panel is attached by screws to the enclosure and is not readily removable.
Do not operate the compressor with the fan and coupling guard removed.
Exposed fan and couplings may cause injury to personnel.
13-9-663 Page 15
Figure 2-3 – COLD WEATHER INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION FOR COLD WEATHER OPERATION (Figure 2-3) - It is recommended that the unit be
installed inside a shelter that will be heated to temperatures above freezing (32°F, 0°C). This will
eliminate many of the problems associated with operating units in cold climates where freezing rain,
drifting snow, freezing condensate and bitter cold temperatures are encountered.
Refer to Engineering Data Sheet 13-9-411 for the advantages of using the heat recovered from rotary
compressors. This heat recovery could easily pay for an adequate shelter for the unit.
When an outside installation must be made, the precautions required will depend on the severity of the
environment. The following are general guidelines for outside installations:
Cold Weather (Down To +10°F, -12°C)
1. Be sure all drains, traps, and control lines, including pressure transducer lines are heated to avoid
freezing of condensate. Heat tape with thermostat control is generally satisfactory for this purpose
and can be obtained at various local plumbing or hardware outlets at nominal cost.
2. If an air-cooled aftercooler is to be used, provisions to bypass the aftercooler must be made. Since
cold air contains very little moisture, successful operation can be achieved without the aftercooler.
3. Provide at least some simple shelter such as a plywood windbreak to protect against drifting snow.
4. Use only Gardner Denver AEON 9000 SP lubricant.
5. Monitor the unit carefully during start-up and operation to be sure it is functioning normally.
6. Specify NEMA 4 enclosure for electrical devices.
13-9-663 Page 16
Extreme Cold Weather Operation (Down To -10°F, -23°C)
In addition to the above, the following should be provided:
1. It will be necessary to provide shutters or to block off part of the cooler in some manner since the
cooler is greatly oversized for operation in these low temperatures. Since shutters are not provided
as a factory option, blocking off a portion of the cooler with plywood should be satisfactory.
2. Auto operation should not be used in extreme environments.
3. Some means of providing heat during shutdown. Start-up should be provided. There are various
methods to accomplish this, but since openings are not provided for sump heaters, the use of radiant
heaters is recommended. The heaters should be sized to provide at least a +10° F (-12 C)
environment for coolers, motor and sump. Figure 2-3, page 16, shows how these might be located
in a typical installation and sizes required.
Remember unsheltered (outside) installations should be avoided where possible. Installation next to a
heated building where enough heat can be used to keep the compressor room above freezing will save
many complications in the operation and installation of the unit.
Refer to Engineering Data Sheet 13-9-411, available from an authorized Gardner Denver distributor, for
the advantages of using the heat recovered from rotary compressors. This heat recovery could easily
pay for an adequate shelter for the unit.
AUXILIARY AIR RECEIVER - An auxiliary air receiver is not required if the piping system is large and
provides sufficient storage capacity to prevent rapid cycling. When used, an air receiver should be of
adequate size, provided with a relief valve of proper setting, a pressure gauge and a means of draining
condensate.
MOISTURE SEPARATOR/TRAP - Since the unit is equipped with a built-in aftercooler, a combination
moisture separator and trap is furnished with the unit.
CONTROL PIPING - Control piping is not necessary since the Rotary Screw compressor unit is factory
wired and piped for the control system specified.
INLET LINE - Where an inlet line is used between the air filter and the compressor, it must be thoroughly
cleaned on the inside to prevent dirt or scale from entering the compressor. If welded construction is
used, the line must be shot blasted and cleaned to remove welding scale. In either case, the inlet
line must be coated internally by galvanizing or painting with a moisture and oil-proof sealing lacquer. Up
to ten (10) feet (3 meters) in length, the inlet line should be the full size of the inlet opening on the
compressor. If an extra-long line is necessary, the pipe size should be increased according to Inlet Line
Length Chart, Figure 2-4.
Accessibility for inlet air filter servicing must be considered when relocating the filters from the unit to a
remote location.
INLET LINE LENGTHS
Length of Inlet Line Diameter of Pipe Size

0 to 10 Feet (0 to 3 Meters)........................ Same as Compressor Inlet Opening
10 to 17 Feet (3 to 5 Meters)...................... One Size Larger Than Inlet Opening
17 to 38 Feet (5 to 11.5 Meters)................. Two Sizes Larger Than Inlet Opening
Figure 2-4 – INLET LINE LENGTHS
13-9-663 Page 17
DISCHARGE SERVICE LINE - The discharge service line connection on both water-cooled and air-
cooled units is made at the right hand corner of the unit, viewed from the opposite end from control panel
side. When manifolding two or more rotary screw units on the same line, each unit is isolated by the
check valve in the unit discharge line. If a rotary screw unit is manifolded to another compressor, be sure
the other compressor has a check valve in the line between the machine and the manifold. If a rotary
screw and a reciprocating compressor are manifolded together, an air receiver must be located between
the two units.
Discharge air used for breathing will cause severe injury or death.
Consult filtration specialists for additional filtration and treatment equipment to

meet health and safety standards.
BLOWDOWN VALVE PIPING - The blowdown valve is piped back into the airend between the inlet valve
and air filter.

It is mandatory that any water cooled unit be installed in a shelter heated to

temperatures above freezing (32° F., 0° C).
The water source should be capable of supplying up to the maximum flow shown in
Figure 2-5, page 18, and
Figure 2-6, page 19, at a minimum pressure of 40 psig (2.8 bar); maximum allowable water pressure is
150 psig (10.3 bar). The water flow rates shown are approximate and a guide to sizing piping, cooling
tower and other water system equipment.
The heat exchanger system is designed to operate with water inlet temperatures from 60° F to 90° F (16°
C to 32° C) and a water outlet temperature not to exceed 110° F (43° C). If water cooler than 60° F is
used, high water outlet temperatures (over 110° F, 43° C) will be experienced along with shortened heat
exchanger life caused by tube fouling and corrosion. If water warmer than 90° F (32° C) is used, higher
compressor oil inlet temperatures and high water usage will result.
13-9-663 Page 19
Most water systems will require control of impurities: filtration, softening or other treatment. See Section
5, “Compressor Oil Cooler - Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger” for more information on the water system.
* (Optional) Water Control Valve and Water Shutoff Valve Must Be Ordered Separately
Figure 2-7 – SERIES PIPING
SERIES PIPING (Figure 2-7) - Water flow must be through aftercooler first for effective cooling of
discharge air and is so piped on the standard water-cooled unit.
* (Optional) Water Control Valve and Water Shutoff Valve Must be Ordered Separately
Figure 2-8 – PARALLEL PIPING
13-9-663 Page 20
PARALLEL PIPING (Figure 2-8, page 20) - A separate water control valve is required to control the
discharge air temperature. If a remote (externally mounted) water-cooled aftercooler is piped in parallel
with the heat exchanger, provide a separate water control valve for the aftercooler and pipe separate inlet
water lines to both the aftercooler and heat exchanger.
The water control valve is to be adjusted to maintain oil out of the heat exchanger within the 140° F to
150° F (60° C to 66° C) range regardless of inlet water flow or temperature as long as a minimum flow for
a given temperature is met (
Figure 2-5, page 18, and
Figure 2-6, page 19. See Section 5 for adjustment instructions and maximum allowable lubricant
temperature.
ELECTRICAL WIRING - Standard Units - The Gardner Denver Rotary Screw compressor is factory
wired for all starter to motor and control connections for the voltage specified on the order. It is necessary
only to connect the unit starter to the correct power supply. The standard unit is supplied with an open
drip-proof motor, a NEMA 12 starter and control enclosure. See Section 2, “Location” paragraph, for
distance to the nearest obstruction on starter and control box sides of the unit.
Lower operating voltages (200/208) require that the unit starter be remote mounted since the starter is too
large to be mounted within the control enclosure. If not supplied with the compressor unit, the starter is to
be a size 6 full voltage non-reversing type in NEMA (CEMA) enclosure suitable for the environment, with
two (2) rejection type control circuit fuses (size according to motor starter manufacturer’s standard), a 200
(208) volt coil, and three (3) overload heaters for 200 (208) volt 100 HP (75 kW), 1.15 service factor
motor.
The overload heaters are to be selected according to starter manufacturer’s tables based on motor
nameplate full load amperage.
Electrical shock can cause injury or death. Open main disconnect switch,
lockout and tagout before working on control box.
GROUNDING - Equipment must be grounded in accordance with Table 250-95 of the National Electrical
Code.
Failure to properly ground the compressor package could result in injury or

death. Install ground wiring in accordance with the National Electrical Code
and any applicable local codes.
13-9-663 Page 21
MOTOR LUBRICATION - Long time satisfactory operation of an electric motor depends in large measure
on proper lubrication of the bearings. The following charts show recommended grease qualities and
regreasing intervals for ball bearing motors. For additional information refer to the motor manufacturer’s
instructions. The following procedure should be used in regreasing:
1. Stop the unit.
2. Disconnect, lockout and tagout the unit from the power supply.
3. Remove the relief plug and free hole of hardened grease.
4. Wipe lubrication fitting clean and add grease with a hand-operated grease gun. Only enough grease
should be added to replace the grease used by the bearing. Too much grease can be as harmful as
insufficient grease. The grease cavity should be about 1/2 full.
5. Leave the relief plug temporarily off. Reconnect the unit and run for about 20 minutes to expel the
excess grease.
6. Stop the unit. Replace the relief plug.
7. Restart the unit.
Rotating machinery can cause injury or death. Open main disconnect, lockout
and tagout power supply to starter before working on the electric motor.

STARTING & OPERATING PROCEDURES
PRESTART-UP INSTRUCTIONS - A new unit as received from the factory has been tested and then prepared
for shipping only. Do not attempt to operate the unit until checked and serviced as follows:
1. Compressor Oil - Check the oil level in the reservoir. Add oil only if the oil level gauge reads in the
red “ADD OIL” range. Do not mix different type oils. The unit is shipped filled with Gardner Denver
AEON 9000 SP Lubricating Coolant which is suitable for the first 8000 hours under normal operating
conditions.
REPLACE OIL FILTER EVERY 1000 HOURS
Initial fill, or filling after a complete draining of the system, may show the oil level in the yellow
“EXCESS OIL” range. After start-up, the oil will fall into the green operating range as system
components are filled. If necessary, add oil to bring the level to the top of the green range as read
when the unit is operating at full load and normal pressure. See Figure 5-7, page 53.

filter and air/oil separator is necessary to achieve maximum service and
extended drain intervals of AEON 9000 SP synthetic lubricant. Use only
genuine Gardner Denver filters designed and specified for this compressor.
Before removing the oil filler plug, always stop the unit and release air
pressure, lockout and tagout the power supply to the starter. Failure to release
pressure or properly disconnect the power may result in personal injury or
death.
During unloaded operation and after shutdown, the system will partially drain back into the oil
reservoir and the oil level may read higher than when operating on load. DO NOT DRAIN OIL TO
CORRECT; on the next loaded cycle or start, oil will again fill the system and the gauge will indicate
the operating level.
2. Air Filter - Inspect the air filter to be sure it is clean and tightly assembled. Refer to Section 6, for
complete servicing instructions. Be sure the inlet line, if used, is tight and clean.
3. Coupling - Check all bolts and cap screws for tightness. See Section 7.
4. Piping - Refer to Section 2, “Installation", and make sure piping meets all recommendations.
5. Electrical - Check the wiring diagrams furnished with the unit to be sure it is properly wired. See
Figure 4-13 thru Figure 4-16, pages 40 thru 43, for general wiring diagrams and Section 2, for
installation instructions.

The compressor starts and stops automatically. Automatic restarting can
cause injury or death. Open, lockout and tagout main disconnect and any other
circuits before servicing the unit.
STARTING THE UNIT - Observe the following starting procedures.
Unit Cold - If the unit is a water-cooled heat exchanger model, open any manual water inlet valves wide
open. Start the unit by pushing either the “CONSTANT RUN” button or one of the “AUTO” buttons. Since
the unit is equipped with a minimum (65 psig, 4.5 bar) pressure discharge valve, no special procedure to
maintain unit reservoir pressure is required.
Unit Hot - No warm-up period is required. If the unit is a water-cooled heat exchanger model, open any
manual water inlet valves wide open. Start the unit by pushing either the “CONSTANT RUN” button or
one of the “AUTO” buttons.
DAILY CHECK - Refer to Section 8, “Maintenance Schedule,” page 69.
STOPPING THE UNIT - Press “STOP-RESET” button. The oil reservoir will automatically blow down as
the motor stops. If the unit is a water-cooled heat exchanger type, close any manual water inlet valves.

SECTION 4
CONTROLS & INSTRUMENTATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION - The Gardner Denver Rotary Screw compressor is prewired with all
controls, motor, and starter for the voltage and horsepower at the time of ordering. It is necessary only to
connect the compressor unit to the correct power supply and to the shop air line (and to the appropriate
water supply if water-cooled). A standard compressor unit consists of the compressor, oil reservoir, oil
cooling system and filter, motor type as specified, NEMA 12 starter / control box, and control components
as described below.
AUTOSENTRY OPERATION
Operation of the “AutoSentry” is dependent on selection of an operating mode from the controller keypad.
Prior to starting, the [STOP/RESET] key must be pressed to place the controller into its READY state (as
indicated on the display). Compressor operation may then be started by pressing an operating mode key.
AUTOMATIC is the most commonly selected mode of operation, as it will operate the compressor unit
automatically in the most efficient manner for the demand of the air system.
Once operating, the mode may be changed at any time by pressing a key, and the selected mode will be
displayed in the lower right corner of the message window. Press the [STOP/RESET] key at any time to
stop the compressor under normal conditions.
Detailed instructions for the controller are found in the manual 13-9-653.
Automatic restarting or electrical shock can cause injury or death. Disconnect,

lockout and tagout the unit from the power supply and any other circuits before
servicing unit.
CONTROL DEVICES
Controller - This compressor unit features the “AUTOSENTRY” controller, which integrates all the control
functions under microprocessor control. Its functions include safety and shutdown, compressor
regulation, operator control, and advisory/maintenance indicators. The keypad and display provide the
operator with a logical and easily operated control of the compressor and indication of its condition. The
controller is factory adjusted for the compressor package, but allows tuning for specific applications.
Relief Valve - A pressure relief valve(s) is (are) installed in the final discharge line and set to
approximately 120-125% of the unit’s full load operating pressure for protection against over pressure.
Periodic checks should be made to ensure its (their) operation.
The relief valve should be tested for proper operation at least once every year. To test the relief valve,
raise the system operating pressure to 75% of the relief valve set pressure and manually open the valve
with the hand lever. Hold the valve open for a few seconds and allow it to snap shut.
13-9-663 Page 26
When the relief valve opens, a stream of high velocity air is released, resulting
in a high noise level and possible discharge of accumulated dirt or other debris.
Always wear eye and ear protection and stand clear of the discharge port when
testing the relief valve to prevent injury.
C
CAAU
UTTIIO
ONN
Never paint, lubricate or alter a relief valve. Do not plug vent or restrict
discharge.
Operation of the unit with improper relief valve setting can result in severe
personal injury or machine damage. Ensure properly set valves are installed
and maintained.

Figure 4-2 – BLOWDOWN VALVE
Blowdown Valve (Figure 4-2) - This valve normally is used for control functions, but also serves to
relieve reservoir pressure following a shutdown. The blowdown valve is a two-way solenoid valve which
is piped into the oil reservoir outlet ahead of the minimum pressure valve. When the solenoid is de-
energized, the valve opens and the coolant system is blown down. When the solenoid is energized, the
valve closes to allow the coolant system to pressurize. A control air check valve is provided to ensure
that the inlet valve is closed during blowdown.
Oil Level Gauge (Figure 1-6, page 12) - This gauge is located on the oil reservoir and indicates the oil
level. See Section 5 for information on how to correctly read the gauge and proper lubrication.
Figure 4-3 – MINIMUM DISCHARGE PRESSURE/CHECK VALVE
Minimum Discharge Pressure/Check Valve (Figure 4-3, page 43) - An internal spring-loaded minimum
pressure valve is used in the final discharge line to provide a positive pressure on the coolant system of
the compressor even if the air service valve is fully open to atmospheric pressure. This valve also
functions as a check valve to prevent back flow of air from the shop air line when the unit stops, unloads,
or is shut down.
13-9-663 Page 28
The valve incorporates a spring-loaded piston which maintains approximately 65 psig in the oil reservoir.
When the air pressure on the upstream (reservoir) side of the valve rises above 65 psig, the spring is
overridden and the valve opens to full porting.
The valve does not require maintenance or adjustment. If the valve fails to function, check the valve stem
O-ring for sealing, valve orifices for restriction, or valve and valve seat for burrs and dirt.
The valve is adjustable within a small range. It is adjusted by a screw on the side of the valve. By turning
the screw, the minimum pressure to open the valve increases. Conversely, backing it out decreases the
minimum pressure required to open the valve.
To service the valve, make sure all pressure is relieved, disconnect the unit from the power supply,
lockout and tagout, then unscrew the valve cap from the body. The internal parts will come out after the
cap has been removed. Repair kits are available from your local authorized Gardner Denver distributor.

(Ref. Drawing)
Figure 4-4 – INLET VALVE
Inlet Valve (Figure 1-4, page 11 and Figure 4-4, page 29) - The Inlet valve restricts the inlet to control
delivery and closes to unload the compressor. At shutdown, the inlet valve closes to prevent the back
flow of air.
The inlet valve position is controlled by air pressure in its piston cylinder, which is controlled by the
“AutoSentry” Controller through solenoid valves IVC and IVO. As Pressure to the piston is increased, the
valve closes to restrict air flow and compressor delivery.
13-9-663 Page 29
Solenoid Valves IVC and IVO - These valves control position of the inlet valve in response to signals
from the “AutoSentry” Controller. With both valves de-energized, the normally open IVC valve allows
control pressure to the inlet piston to close the valve. If IVC only is energized, the inlet valve is held in its
current position. If both valves are energized, control pressure is relieved from the inlet piston to allow
the valve to open.
Pressure Regulator - The pressure regulator is used to supply a constant and low control pressure to
prevent damage to the inlet valve from “slamming". The regulator should be set for 25-30 psig.
Figure 4-5 – SHUTTLE VALVE
Shuttle Valve (Figure 4-5) - Also known as a double check valve, the shuttle valve is a device which will
take two (2) supply signals and allow the one with the highest pressure to pass through. The shuttle
valve is used to provide control air pressure from either the reservoir or plant air system, as required
during different operating conditions.
Purge Air Valve - The purge valve is a normally closed two-way air actuated valve that admits purge air
from the final discharge manifold to the compressor to counteract the oil knock that occurs in oil-flooded
rotary screw compressors when they are completely unloaded with pressure in the oil reservoir. This
valve is controlled by the same control pressure which controls the inlet valve.
13-9-663 Page 30
213ECM797-A
(Ref. Drawing)
Figure 4-6 – TURN VALVE – ELECTRA-SAVER ONLY
Turn Valve (Electra-Saver only) (Figure 4-6)- The turn valve is a helical valve which, when rotated, opens
and closes a series of ports cast into the compressor cylinder. When these ports are open, they direct
some of the air which would otherwise be compressed back to the inlet, reducing both capacity and
power consumption.
Turn Valve Actuator (Electra-Saver only) - The turn valve actuator is a rotary rack and pinion device
which positions the turn valve according to system demand. Filtered oil from the compressor sump is
directed to the outboard end of the two actuating cylinders to move the rack and rotate the valve.
Located on the ends of the cylinders are adjusting screws which limit the travel of the actuator. When
looking at the rear of the compressor, the adjusting screw on the right on the compressor adjusts the fully
closed (full-load) position of the valve. The full load position of the actuator may be checked by removing
the adjusting screw at the unloaded end of the actuator (left side of the compressor) and using a rod to
push the pistons to the full load position. The rod must be clean and free of burrs and scale. Take care
not to scrape the cylinder walls when moving the pistons.
Solenoid Valves TVC and TVO (Electra-Saver only) - These valves control the position of the turn valve
in response to signals from the “AutoSentry” controller. With both valves de-energized, equal pressure is
applied to both ends of the actuator to hold it in its present position. If TVC only is energized, the right
side of the turn valve actuator is exhausted to the compressor inlet cavity, causing the turn valve to move
towards the full load position. If TVO only is energized, the left end of the turn valve actuator is
exhausted to the compressor inlet cavity, causing the turn valve to move towards the unload position.
See “AutoSentry Operation” in Controller Manual 13-9-653, for a description of how the turn valve position
is controlled during normal operation.
System Pressure Transducer - This transducer is connected after the minimum pressure valve. It
converts the pressure in the plant air system into an electrical signal for use by the “AutoSentry” controller
for modulation and control.
Reservoir Pressure Transducer - This transducer is connected to the coolant system. Its signal is
used to prevent loaded starts, monitor reservoir pressure, and monitor the condition of the air/oil
separator.
Air Filter Vacuum Switch - This switch is used to monitor air filter condition and alert the user if the
filter requires service or replacement.
13-9-663 Page 31
Discharge Thermistor - This sensor is located directly in the compressor discharge. Its signal is used
to monitor compressor temperature and shut down the compressor if a coolant problem is detected.
Reservoir Thermistor - This sensor is located near the separator and is used to monitor temperature
and shut down the compressor if high temperatures are detected.
Emergency Stop Push-Button - This is a maintained push-button, and removes power from the
controller outputs regardless of controller status. It is located on the upper section of the panel, next to
the keypad. This should be used for emergency purposes only - use the keypad [STOP/RESET] for
normal controlled stopping.
Automatic restarting or electrical shock can cause injury or death. Open,

lockout and tagout main disconnect and any other circuits before servicing
unit.
Control Transformer - This control device changes the incoming power voltage to 110-120 volts for use
by all unit control devices. The transformers employed are usually connectable for several input voltages,
refer to the transformer label for connection prior to energizing. Two primary and one secondary fuse are
provided. Refer to adjacent labeling for replacement information.
Terminal Strip - This provides connections for all 110-120 volt devices not contained within the
enclosure.
Fan Starter - The starter is used to provide control and overload protection for the cooling fan or the
ventilation fan of water-cooled units with enclosure. Overload heaters should be selected and adjusted
based on the motor nameplate amps and the instructions located inside the cover of the electrical
enclosure. Three fuses are provided. Refer to adjacent labeling for replacement information.
Main Starter - This starter is used to provide control and overload protection for the main drive motor.
Full voltage starters employ a single contactor, overload heaters should be selected and adjusted based
on the motor nameplate amps and the instructions located inside the cover of the enclosure. Wye-delta
starters employ three contactors which are controlled sequentially to provide low current starting. For
wye-delta starters, the motor nameplate amps must be first multiplied by 0.577 before using the heater
table.
13-9-663 Page 32
COMPRESSOR CAPACITY CONTROL - TURN VALVE UNITS ONLY
The capacity of the compressor is controlled by the action of the turn valve and the compressor inlet
valve.
The turn valve controls compressor delivery to match demands of 40% to 100% of the compressor’s
maximum capacity. The inlet valve throttles to control compressor delivery to match demands of 0% to
40% of the compressors maximum capacity.
Example with normal setting of 100 PSIG:

LUBRICATION
OIL COOLER, OIL FILTER & SEPARATOR
COMPRESSOR OIL SYSTEM (Figure 5-3, page 47) cools the compressor, lubricates moving parts and
seals internal clearances in the compression chamber.
The oil inlet line is connected at the bottom of the oil reservoir. Air pressure in the oil reservoir forces oil
through the oil cooler, thermostatic mixing valve, oil filter and into the compressor main oil gallery.
The oil passes through internal passages for lubrication, cooling and sealing. The air/oil mixture is then
discharged to the oil reservoir where a large part of the entrained oil drops out of the air stream; the air
then passes through the final oil separator where most of the remaining oil is removed. The separated oil
is returned to the compressor and the air passes to the final discharge line.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANT - Gardner Denver compressors are factory filled with AEON lubricants.
These lubricants are formulated to the highest quality standards and are factory authorized, tested and
approved for use in rotary screw compressors. AEON lubricants are available through your authorized
Gardner Denver compressor distributor.
OIL SPECIFICATIONS - The factory fill compressor lubricant is Gardner Denver AEON 9000 SP
lubricating coolant which can be used for year-round operation. AEON 9000 SP is a synthetic, extended
life lubricant which can extend lubricant change intervals up to 4 times that of a petroleum based
lubricant.
A lubricant analysis program for a periodic check of lubricant quality and remaining life can maximize the
change interval.

MOISTURE IN THE OIL SYSTEM – In environments with normal operating temperatures and pressures
and low relative humidity, the thermal mixing valve controls the oil temperature and prevents moisture
accumulation in the oil. Unusual cooling of the oil reservoir, light duty cycles, high humidity, gross
compressor over-sizing or malfunctions of the thermal mixing valve may result in moisture accumulation
which is detrimental to compressor lubrication and may cause excessive oil carryover in the lubricant or
compressor failure. Please note that the airend discharge temperature must be maintained a minimum of
10° F above the pressure dew point temperature in Figure 5-1, page 46. Failure to maintain the
discharge temperature will cause moisture formation and compressor damage. The compressor must be
observed to ensure that it is operating properly. The best method for detecting moisture is a disciplined
lubricant sampling analysis program every 2,000 hours of operation. If moisture is observed in the oil
reservoir, drain the moisture and correct the operating conditions to reduce moisture. See “Thermal
Control (Thermostatic Mixing) Valve, page 56, “Water Shutoff Valve”, page 53 and “Compressor Oil
System Check”, page 61, for additional system considerations. If moisture accumulation is observed in
the lubricant, the best option is a higher temperature mixing valve, AEON 9000TH lubricating fluid and
setting the high discharge temperature shutdown to 240° F (new controller software may be required), to
prevent water from forming in the oil. Please contact Technical Services in MDC for part numbers,
availability and controller software version verification (S/N required).

13-9-663 Page 48
REMOTE MOUNTED ELEVATED COOLER ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE - The Compressor package will
be built and tested with the coolers mounted on the package. On enclosed units, the fan motor will be
disconnected after test and the vent fan motor connected in its place. The vent fan will be mounted in the
enclosure. A contactor (starter) will be shipped loose and remote mounted with the cooler by others upon
start-up at the job site. The control box will be wired for remote elevated coolers at the factory.
NOTICE
All requirements of local codes should be followed.
When connecting pipe fittings to the cooler, support the threaded coupling with a pipe wrench when
tightening the connection. Use silicone sealant on all steel to aluminum threaded connections. All piping
should be firmly supported to avoid strain on the cooler manifold and connections. Flexible connections
should be installed in all interconnecting piping, adjacent to the cooler, to avoid transmitting piping weight
or vibrations to the cooler elements. Before beginning installations, check to be sure that no debris or
foreign matter remains in the couplings or cooler bodies. Be certain interconnecting piping is clean to
avoid clogging the cooler passages.
Figure 5-5 – COOLER DRAIN DETAIL
AFTERCOOLER PIPING - At shutdown of the system, all units should be drained completely of
condensate if there is any possibility of freezing or corrosion damage. To help remove the condensate,
the cooler may be tapped per Figure 5-5, page 49, and a drain cock installed. After opening the drain
cock, blow air into the cooler from a connection on the opposite side of the cooler. At the same time the
connection on the drain side of the cooler should be plugged. The drain cock should be left open until the
machines are ready for start-up.
Failure to remove condensate from an idle cooler in freezing temperatures will

cause permanent cooler damage. Drain condensate after system shutdown. It
is the owner/operator's responsibility to ensure that condensate has been
drained and cooler dried out to prevent cooler damage.
13-9-663 Page 49
NOTICE
When removing the cooling module from the package for remote operation, do
not use the flexible coupling (when supplied) between the air/oil separator
housing and the minimum pressure/check valve. The discharge piping from the
air/oil separator housing should be piped into the minimum pressure/check
valve, then into piping to the cooler, with a flexible connection between the
minimum pressure/check valve and aftercooler to keep the weight of the piping
off of the cooler.
HEAT EXCHANGER (OIL) PIPING - All remote elevated cooler applications must be sent through
Engineering for approval and for recommending pipe size. When the cooling module is removed from the
package, the thermal mixing valve (H) remains on the package. Control group part number 200ECM4002
will be mounted on package at the factory. This group controls the oil stop valve as well as not allowing
machine to run blown down. See Figure 5-4, page 48.
NOTICE
Remote mounted elevated coolers have a maximum pipe length of 30 feet (9 M)
(each way) and a maximum height of 20 feet (6 M) with a minimum of fittings. A
remote elevated cooler form, J214, is required to be filled out. Customer
Service will review all forms while in the quote stage. Customer Service will
include the filled out J214 form on any special orders sent to Engineering.
NOTICE
When removing the cooling module from the package for remote operation, the
oil stop valve and the check valve that are shipped loose should be mounted as
close to the compressor package as possible. Flexible connections should be
used to keep the weight of the piping off of the cooler.
Kit number 200EAP4013 includes the oil stop valve, check valve and flanges and must be installed on all
remote elevated coolers per Figure 5-4, page 48, and the following instructions:
1. Mount the check valve (90J113) as shown.
2. Mount the drain valves in the lowest section of the pipe on each side of the cooler connections.
3. Mount the oil stop valve (90AR243) in the line after the thermal mixing valve as shown.
Modifications to the control lines will be made at the factory per 288ECM810 schematic. Air to the oil stop
valve must come from the upper fitting in the separator housing, then pass through the 3-way pneumatic
valve. Control air to the valve must be from the line between the tee and the orifice in the blowdown
muffler line per Figure 5-4, page 48. When the machine blows down, it will activate the pneumatic valve
and it will shut off the air and vent the line between the pneumatic control valve and the oil stop valve to
atmosphere. This will shut the oil stop valve and prevent excessive oil from running into the reservoir.
Failure to install these parts or installations with pipe lengths and/or vertical runs outside the
recommended limits, could result in high oil carryover and cause the machine to shut down on
high discharge temperature.

LUBRICANT CHANGE PROCEDURE - Following are the primary steps to be completed when upgrading
or changing the type of lubricant.
1. Thoroughly drain system:
- Drain oil from air end and cooler while hot.
- Break low point connections and drain oil from pipe runs.
- Dump oil from the filter and reinstall used filter.
13-9-663 Page 51
2. Fill the system with a 50 percent charge of the new lubricant:
- Start the machine and stay there to observe.
- Allow the machine to run about five minutes at temperature, or until temperature stabilizes, then
shut down.
3. Thoroughly drain the machine.
4. Change to a new filter and separator.
5. Fill the system with a full charge of the new lubricant, then reinstall drain plug.
6. Machine should then be run normally, however, total run time after the initial changeout should be 50
percent of normal anticipated service life of the new lubricant.
- Drain all lubricant from the system, change the filter and separator, and replace with a full
charge of the new lubricant.
7. Subsequent lubricant changeouts should be at normal intervals. (See “Oil Change Interval” and
Figure 5-7, page 53).
OIL LEVEL GAUGE (Figure 1-6, page 12 and Figure 5-6) indicates the amount of oil in the oil reservoir.
Read oil level only when unit is on. In operation the oil level will fluctuate as the compressor loads and
unloads. Add oil only when the oil is at the bottom of the red range on the gauge as read when the
compressor is on. Drain oil only when the oil level is above the center of the green range on the gauge
as read when the compressor is on.
Figure 5-6 – OIL LEVEL GAUGE
OIL CHANGE INTERVAL - Recommended oil change intervals are based on oil temperature. Figure 5-7,
shows how the change interval is affected by temperature.
When operating conditions are severe (very dusty, high humidity, etc.), it will be necessary to change the
oil more frequently. Operating conditions and the appearance of the drained oil must be surveyed and
the oil change intervals planned accordingly by the user. Gardner Denver offers a free oil analysis
program with the AEON lubricants and we recommend a sample be sent in at 100 hours on a new unit.

Always drain the complete system. Draining when the oil is hot will help to prevent varnish deposits and
carry away impurities.
To drain the system, use one of the following methods:
1. If the unit is not elevated high enough to use the oil reservoir drain line to drain oil, a small
hand, electric or air operated pump should be used to drain reservoir through the oil filler
opening or from the drain valve.
2. If the unit is elevated so that the oil reservoir drain can be used, empty the oil reservoir through
the drain valve to a suitable container or sump.
3. If the drained oil and/or the oil filter element are contaminated with dirt, flush the entire system:
reservoir, oil cooler, mixing valve and lines. Inspect the oil separator elements for dirt
accumulation; replace if necessary. If a varnish deposit exists, contact the factory for
recommendations for removal of the deposit and prevention of varnish.

5. Install the oil filler plug and operate the unit for about a minute allowing oil to fill all areas of the
system. Check for leaks.
6. Shut down unit, allowing the oil to settle, and be certain all pressure is relieved.
7. Add oil, if necessary, to bring level to the center of the green range on the gauge.
On unloaded operation and after shutdown some oil will drain back into the oil reservoir and the oil level
gauge will read “FULL.” DO NOT DRAIN OIL TO CORRECT. On the next start, oil will again fill the
system and the gauge will indicate operating at the proper level. DO NOT OVERFILL as oil carryover will
result. The quantity of oil required to raise the oil level from “ADD” to “FULL” is shown in Figure 5-8.
Repeated addition of oil between changes may indicate excessive oil carryover and should be
investigated.
Use only CLEAN containers and funnels so no dirt enters the reservoir. Provide for clean storage of oils.
Changing the oil will be of little benefit if done in a careless manner.

COMPRESSOR OIL FILTER (Figure 5-3) - This screw on oil filter is a vital part in maintaining a trouble-
free compressor, since it removes dirt and abrasives from the circulated oil. The oil filter relief valve is
located in the oil filter head. The relief valve opens in the event the element becomes dirty enough to
block the flow of oil.

Improper oil filter maintenance will cause damage to equipment. Replace filter
element every 1000 hours of operation. More frequent replacement could be
required depending on operating conditions. A filter element left in service too
long may damage equipment.
Use only the replacement element shown on the filter tag or refer to the parts list for the part number. Use
the following procedure to replace the filter element. Do not disturb the piping.
and filters.
1. Stop the unit and be sure no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2. Remove the spin-on element.
3. Clean the gasket face of the filter body.
4. Coat the new element gasket with clean lubricant used in the unit.
5. Screw the new element on the filter body and tighten by hand. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THE
ELEMENT.
13-9-663 Page 55
COMPRESSOR OIL COOLER - RADIATOR TYPE (Figure 1-5, page 11) - The oil cooler motor and fan is
mounted on the oil cooler module; air is exhausted through the oil cooler and away from the unit. Do not
obstruct air flow to and from the oil cooler. Allow a minimum of three (3) feet clearance around the cooler.
Keep both faces of cooler core clean for efficient cooling of compressor oil.
Figure 5-9 – THERMOSTATIC MIXING VALVE ELEMENT
THERMAL CONTROL (THERMOSTATIC MIXING) VALVE (Figure 5-9) is installed in system as shown
in Figure 5-3, page 47. This valve is used to control temperature of the oil in both air-cooled radiator and
water-cooled heat exchanger type oil cooler systems. On start-up with unit cold, element is open to
bypass, allowing oil to pass directly from the reservoir to compressor during warm-up. As oil warms,
element gradually closes to the bypass allowing more of the oil from the cooler to mix with oil from the
bypass.
After the unit is warmed up, the mixing valve maintains oil injection temperature into the compressor at a
minimum of 160° F (71° C). This system provides proper compressor warm-up and helps prevent
moisture contamination of oil.
To check element, heat in oil - it should be fully extended at 160° F (71° C). If unit shuts down due to
high air discharge temperature, it may be that one or both thermostatic mixing valve elements (Figure 5-3,
page 47) are stuck open. Remove mixing valve and clean all parts thoroughly when flushing the oil
system.
COMPRESSOR OIL COOLER - WATER-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER (Figure 5-3, page 47) - The
heat exchanger oil cooler is a multiple pass type, with water in the tubes and oil in the shell. The oil
temperature is controlled by the thermal (thermostatic mixing) valve. The optional water control valve
may be used to conserve water.
13-9-663 Page 56
It is mandatory that any water-cooled unit be installed in a shelter heated to
temperatures above freezing (32° F, 0° C).
Oil cooler malfunction may be traced by checking pressure at oil inlet and outlet. At normal operating air
service pressure (65 psig to 150 psig, 4.5 bar to 10.3 bar) with the unit warm, a pressure drop of 3 psi to
15 psi (.2 bar to 1 bar) can be expected between the oil inlet and the oil outlet.
Water pressure drop from water inlet to outlet will vary with the inlet pressure and amount of water
flowing. A normal pressure drop may range from 5 psi to 10 psi (.3 bar to .7 bar). Any change in the
pressure drop from that normally held may indicate tube leakage or fouling and should be investigated.
In many instances, the cooling water supply for the heat exchanger will contain impurities in solution
and/or suspension. These substances can cause scale formation, corrosion and plugging of any water-
cooled heat exchanger equipment. Disregarding the possibility that one or more of these conditions exist
may result in increased maintenance and operation expense, reduced equipment life and emergency
shutdown. It is strongly recommended that a reputable, local water treatment concern be engaged to
establish the corrosion, scale forming and fouling tendency of the cooling water and take steps necessary
to remedy the situation if a problem does exist. The need for water treatment may involve only filtration
(screening) to remove debris, sand and/or salt in the cooling water supply. However, chemical treatment
methods may be necessary in certain instances to inhibit corrosion and/or remove dissolved solids, to
alter the water’s tendency to form scale deposits, or prevent the growth of microorganisms. The normal
maintenance program for the unit should also include periodic cleaning of the tubes (water side) of the
heat exchanger to remove deposits which enhance fouling and corrosion.
Hex head zinc anodes are used in the return bonnet (opposite end to the water pipe connections) of heat
exchangers to provide internal water system corrosion protection. These anodes should be inspected
periodically and replaced when the zinc has been reduced to about 1/2 inch (13mm) in length.
Figure 5-10 – WATER CONTROL VALVE
13-9-663 Page 57
WATER FLOW CONTROL VALVE FOR HEAT EXCHANGER (Optional Equipment) (Figure 5-10, page
57) - The water flow control valve is adjustable to compensate for varying water inlet temperatures and
pressures and is to be mounted in the water outlet line after the oil cooler (Figure 5-3, page 47). Use the
compressor discharge air temperature gauge on the instrument panel in setting the flow control valve.
The compressor discharge temperature must be maintained a minimum of 10° F (5° C) above the dew
point temperature at the maximum anticipated ambient; refer to Figure 5-11, for the dew point
temperature at the operating pressure and ambient temperature of the application.
Figure 5-11 – DEW POINT TEMPERATURE VS. AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

(100% RELATIVE HUMIDITY)
To decrease water flow (increase compressor discharge air temperature) turn the adjusting screw from
left to right, increasing spring tension. To increase water flow (decrease compressor discharge air
temperature) turn the adjusting screw in the opposite direction. The groove at the lower edge of the
adjusting screw is an index line for use with the index scale 0 to 8 in obtaining a desired setting.
These valves must be handled with care and proper tools and techniques must be used when working on
the valve.
Care must be used when handling the capillary tube; a kink or break in the tubing or connections will
make the valve inoperative. Never attempt to change capillary length. Excess capillary tube should be
carefully coiled and placed so that damage will not occur in normal maintenance or traffic past the unit.
If a leak develops through the packing, tighten the packing gland nut firmly with a wrench to reseat the
packing around the valve stem, then back off the nut until loose, and finally retighten the nut finger tight.
Tightening the packing nut too tight may cause erratic operation. An occasional drop of oil on the valve
stem at the packing nut will prolong packing life.
If valve malfunctions, check for bent or binding, paint or corrosion on valve stem, foreign material in valve,
erosion, or thermal system (capillary) failure. If foreign material or scale is likely, the use of a strainer in
the inlet water line is recommended.
13-9-663 Page 58
WATER SHUTOFF VALVE - WATER-COOLED HEAT EXCHANGER (Optional Equipment) (Figure 5-3,
page 47) - A magnetic solenoid-operated water shutoff valve rated at 150 psig (10.3 bar) water pressure
should be mounted in the water outlet line after the oil cooler. The valve should be wired into the
compressor control circuit so that the valve opens to allow water to flow any time the compressor is
running. When compressor stops under automatic control, or is shut off manually, the valve should close,
stopping water flow through the system. See Wiring Diagrams in Section 4.
OIL RESERVOIR - The oil reservoir-separator combines multiple functions into one vessel. The lower
half is the oil reservoir, providing oil storage capacity for the system and the top portion, a primary oil
separation means. The reservoir also provides limited air storage for control and gauge actuation.
Figure 5-12 – OIL SEPARATOR
COMPRESSOR (GD ELIMINATOR™) OIL SEPARATOR located in a separate housing, consists of a

renewable cartridge-type separator element and provides the final removal of oil from the air stream
(Figure 5-12).
Oil impinging on the inside of the separator element drains directly back into the oil reservoir by gravity.
Oil collected outside the element is returned through tubing to the compressor cylinder.
Oil carryover through the service lines may be caused by a faulty oil separator, faulty minimum pressure
valve, over-filling of the oil reservoir, oil that foams, oil return line malfunction or water condensate in the
oil. If oil carryover occurs, inspect the separator only after it is determined that the oil level is not too high,
the oil is not foaming excessively, the oil return line from the separator housing to the compressor cylinder
is not clogged or pinched off, the check valve in the oil return line is functioning properly, and there is not
water or an oil/water emulsion in the oil.
13-9-663 Page 59
Oil carryover malfunctions of the oil separator are usually due to using elements too long, heavy dirt or
varnish deposits caused by inadequate air filter service, use of improper oil or using oil too long for
existing conditions. A ruptured or collapsed separator element is usually due to heavy dirt or varnish
buildup in the filtering material. Excessive tilt angle of the unit will also hamper separation and cause oil
carryover.
Oil separator element life cannot be predicted; it will vary greatly depending on the conditions of
operation, the quality of the oil used and the maintenance of the oil and air filters. The condition of the
separator can be determined by pressure differential gauging or by inspection.
Pressure Differential Gauging - The “CHANGE SEPARATOR” advisory will flash when the pressure
differential across the oil separator reaches approximately 8 psid (.55 bar). Replace the oil separator
element at this time. If ignored, the unit will shut down and the advisory will illuminate steadily when the
pressure differential reaches 15 psid (1 bar).
Using an oil separator element at excessive pressure differential can cause

damage to equipment. Replace the separator when the "Change Separator"
advisory appears.
NOTICE
A sudden drop of zero pressure differential or sudden heavy oil carryover may
indicate a ruptured element.
Inspection - After removal of separator element, shine a light inside the element to reveal areas of heavy
dirt or varnish deposits or breaks (ruptures) in the element media.
13-9-663 Page 60
Removal Of Oil Separator For Inspection Or Replacement:
and filters.
1. Be certain unit is completely off and that no air pressure is in the oil reservoir.
2. Disconnect, lockout and tagout power supply to the starter.
3. Remove screws holding the top plate to the separator housing. Lift the top plate from the
separator housing.
4. Lift the separator from the separator housing.
5. Inspect and/or replace the separator as necessary. Be sure the o-ring is not damaged. Before
installing (or reinstalling) any separator apply grease to the o-ring. Oil will be wiped off by the
chamfer and the o-ring could be damaged.
6. Remove any gasket material adhering to top plate or separator housing, and install new gasket.
7. Lower the separator into the housing and center the separator on the chamfer. Press separator
down into the housing. Do not use excessive force as separator damage can occur.
8. Place the spacer on the indent in the separator. Seat the top plate to the separator, spacer and
separator housing. Install and tighten all cap screws.
COMPRESSOR OIL SYSTEM CHECK - The following readings are based on ambient temperature of
80° F (27° C) for air-cooled oil cooler and 80° F (27° C) inlet water on water-cooled oil cooler, with the
system in good condition. Compressor should be at operating temperature at the time of checks. One-
half hour of loaded operation is usually sufficient to reach level-out operating temperatures.
Air and Oil Discharge Temperature - 165° F to 195° F (74° C to 91° C) - Read at gauge on the
instrument panel or check with a thermometer at the discharge housing.
Compressor Oil Inlet Temperature - 150° F to 160° F (66° C to 71° C) - Install a tee at the oil filter outlet
and check with a thermometer.
Oil Inlet Pressure - Check at the fitting in the line near the compressor oil inlet. With air receiver
pressure at 100 psi (6.9 bar), oil inlet pressure should be 55 psig to 60 psig (3.8 bar to 4.1 bar).
13-9-663 Page 61
Oil Cooler Oil Pressure Differential (Air-Cooled Radiator) - Check differential across oil system by
measuring oil inlet pressure as described above.
Oil Cooler Oil Pressure Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger) – 2 psid to 25 psid (.1 bar to 1.7
bar) (65 psig to 150 psig, 4.5 bar to 10.3 bar receiver pressure) - Check that oil inlet pressure is correct or
measure the differential between drains on the oil cooler shell.
Oil Cooler Temperature Differential (Air-Cooled Radiator) - The oil temperature differential depends
on the temperature of the air at the oil cooler fan and cleanliness of core faces. As ambient temperatures
and core restrictions increase, the oil cooler outlet temperature will increase. The oil inlet temperature is
approximately the same as air discharge temperature - see the gauge on the instrument panel. The
outlet oil temperature may be checked by installing a tee at the oil filter outlet.
Oil Cooler Temperature Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger) - The oil temperature differential
depends on the inlet water temperature and the water flow rate permitted by the water flow control valve
setting. The oil inlet temperature is approximately the same as the air discharge temperature - see the
gauge on the instrument panel. The oil outlet temperature may be checked by installing a tee at the oil
filter outlet.
Oil Cooler Water Pressure Differential (Water-Cooled Heat Exchanger) - The water pressure
differential through the heat exchanger will depend on the supply pressure, flow rate, cooler tube
cleanliness and outlet pressure. The inlet and outlet water pressure may be checked at the pipe fittings
supplied by the customer.

AIR FILTER
Figure 6-1 – HEAVY DUTY AIR FILTER
HEAVY-DUTY AIR FILTER (Figure 6-1) furnished as standard equipment on units with an enclosure is a
heavy-duty washable element dry type air filter. The air filter must receive proper maintenance if
maximum service is to be obtained from the unit. Establishing adequate and timely filter service is MOST
IMPORTANT. An improperly maintained air filter can cause a loss of compressor air delivery.
Filter Element - Service the air filter element when the ”CHANGE AIR FILTER” LED is illuminated.
Clean every 50 to 150 operating hours depending on dust conditions.
NOTICE
Use only genuine Gardner Denver air filter elements on Gardner Denver
compressor units. Genuine parts are available through your authorized
Gardner Denver distributor.
To service:
1. Remove the wingnut and pull out the filter element.
2. Visually inspect the element. If cleaning is not necessary, reinstall the filter element. If the element
requires cleaning, follow steps 3, 4 and 5.
3. Wash the element by soaking about 15 minutes in warm water with a mild non-sudsing detergent.
Rinse the element thoroughly with clean water; a hose may be used if the water pressure does not
exceed 40 psig (2.8 bar).
4. Inspect the element for ruptures or cracks in the pleated media; replace the element if any are found.
Inspect the gasket on the bottom (outlet end) of the element; replace the entire element if the gasket
is damaged. A spare element will keep down time to a minimum.
5. Allow the element to air dry COMPLETELY. Do not expose the element to heat over 150° F (66° C).
Install the element in the filter body and fasten securely with the wing nut.

Do not oil this element. Do not wash in inflammable cleaning fluids. Do not use
solvents other than water. Improper cleaning may damage the element.
NOTICE
Never operate the unit without the element. Never use elements that are
damaged, ruptured or wet. Never use gaskets that won't seal. Keep spare
elements and gaskets on hand to reduce downtime. Store elements in a
protected area free from damage, dirt and moisture. Handle all parts with care.
Filter Element Life - The element should be replaced after six (6) cleanings or if:
1. Visual inspection indicates a rupture, crack or pin hole in the pleated media. Inspection should be
done by placing a bright light inside the element.
2. Pressure drop through a filter with a freshly cleaned element is below three (3) inches (76 mm) of
water with the compressor running at full load - this would indicate a rupture or crack.
Inlet Tube - Inspect the inlet screen and tube for dirt accumulation each time the filter is serviced. Clean
the tube when required by ramming a clean dry cloth through the tube. Wipe the inside of the filter body
to remove any dirt falling from the inlet tube before reinstalling the element.
Causes of short element life include: severe dust conditions, infrequent servicing, improper cleaning, or
contamination by oil or chemical fumes.

COUPLING
Figure 7-1 – INSTALLATION OF COUPLING CUSHIONS
Rotating machinery can cause personal injury or death. Turn the unit
completely off, open the main disconnect, lockout and tagout before servicing
the coupling.
COUPLING - The motor and compressor are direct connected by a resilient type flexible coupling with a
single cushion. The coupling does not require lubrication.
If maintenance on mating parts is required, reassemble coupling as follows:
13-9-663 Page 65
ASSEMBLY OF COUPLING ONTO THE AIREND AND MOTOR (Figure 7-1).
NOTICE
Elements with non-uniform cross sections must be mounted with the rotation
arrow on the coupling the same direction as the rotation arrow on the airend.
Incorrect rotation will greatly decrease the torque carrying capacity of the
coupling.
1. Slide coupling halves over shaft extensions. Lock compressor half (half with element pre-bolted to it)
down with set screw.
2. Assemble the motor to the compressor.
3. Working through the coupling guard opening, slide motor half into compressor half.
4. Place the supplied hardened washers under the cap screw heads and torque the screws down to the
given specification. Keep the surfaces between the steel bushing in the elastomeric element, the
hardened washer and the cap screw head free from dirt and apply a light oil or grease film to both
sides of the hardened washer. This is very important since it will significantly reduce the rubber
stresses around the metal bushings when torquing down the cap screws.
5. Check to see if element is centered between shaft ends. If element is centered, using the loctite
supplied with the coupling, lock all set screws to 50 ft-lbs. If element is not centered, unlock set
screws and slide coupling to center element between shaft ends and then, using the loctite supplied
with the coupling, lock all set screws to 50 ft-lbs.
Rotating machinery can cause personal injury or death. Do not operate unit
with either the coupling guard or the collar removed. All bolts and screws must
be properly tightened.
ALIGNMENT - The coupling is permanently aligned by the flanges on the compressor and motor.
Replacing Element:
NOTICE
Elements with non-uniform cross sections must be mounted with the rotation
arrow on the coupling the same direction as the rotation arrow on the airend.
Incorrect rotation will greatly decrease the torque carrying capacity of the
coupling.
1. Remove cap screws and washers.
2. Remove the element between the hubs.
13-9-663 Page 66
3. Apply a light oil or grease film to both sides of the hardened steel washer. This is very important,
since it will significantly reduce the rubber stresses around the metal bushings when torquing down
the cap screws. Place the supplied hardened washers under the cap screw heads and torque the
screws down to the torque rating in the assembly instructions supplied with the coupling. Keep the
surfaces between the steel bushing in the elastomeric element, the hardened washer and the cap
screw head free from dirt.
4. Check to see if element is centered between shaft ends. If element is centered, using the loctite
supplied with the coupling, lock all set screws (must have loctite, supplied with the coupling, applied
to set screws) to 50 ft-lbs. If element is not centered, unlock the set screws and slide coupling to
center element between shaft ends and then, using the loctite supplied with the coupling, lock all set
screws to 50 ft-lbs.
Rotating machinery can cause personal injury or death. Do not operate unit
with either the coupling guard or the collar removed. All bolts and screws must

1 General Information
The AirSmart™ Controller was designed for use in the Gardner Denver Global Line of variable speed, rotary
screw air compressors and positive displacement blowers. The AirSmart™ Controller is also capable of
controlling fixed speed air compressors and blower which use traditional motor starters. The microprocessor-
based unit can control up to three Variable Frequency motor Drives (VFDs) while monitoring all necessary
temperature and pressure points in order to safely operate the machine and satisfy user air demand. The
Control Panel displays a comprehensive overview of the machine status and allows easy access to
operational parameters such as pressure set points, alarm set points and language selection.
The AirSmart Communications Module is an extension of the AirSmart Controller, which provides a means of
sequencing multiple compressors or blowers together so that they may act as one machine. The AirSmart
Communications Module also provides the ability to monitor machine operation from a remote location
through serial and Ethernet connections. Finally, the AirSmart Communications Module can start and stop a
machine up to seven different times using a programmable week clock.
1.1 AirSmart Communications Module Features
9 Easy Installation.
9 Battery-backed real time clock.
9 Week clock timer with seven programmable start/stop times.

The THROUGH time parameter tells the compressor to run through the programmed time and
then stop. If the compressor is programmed to run through 16:59, as shown in the display above,
the machine will actually stop at 17:00 (5:00 PM).
The concept of “through” time is used instead of stop time so that it is possible to have run
periods that span from the week’s end through the week’s beginning. For example, with a
START / THROUGH time of SAT: 23:00 / SUN: 00:59, the compressor will run exactly 120
minutes centered around midnight on Saturday

The AirSmart Communications Module will allow up to eight compressors or blowers to be connected together
in a sequence group. The Lead machine of the group will seamlessly start and stop other machines as
necessary to meet the plant air demand. In order to equalize machine run time during periods of low system
demand, the Lead machine can also trade with a dormant machine in the group.
A proper sequencing installation requires two or more compressors or blowers piped into a common air
delivery system and connected as described in the sections to follow. For best results, connect each machine
directly to a common manifold or receiver without any intervening dryers, filters or other restrictions. If any
equipment must be installed on individual compressors or blowers, select equipment with as minimal of a
pressure drop as possible. If filters are installed, establish a maintenance procedure to prevent clogged filters
from upsetting the system. There should be no check valves or other devices, which isolate any member
from the air system. During operation, be sure that any unit is taken off line before closing its service valve.
For compressor networks, the receiver should be sized to prevent excessive drops or rapid rises in pressure
during operation. Note that “receiver” applies to the entire storage volume of a physical receiver and the air
delivery pipe network installed in the plant. Sequenced systems of Gardner Denver VS/VST Series variable
speed air compressors work best when the receiver size is at lest one-half gallon for the rated CFM of the
entire sequence group.
All standard practices common to sound air compressor and blower installations such as proper sizing of
piping, proper electrical supply, conductor sizing and grounding should be observed.
5.1 Sequencing Operation (Compressor application)
Each member compressor in a sequence group operates similarly to the Automatic mode of operation.
It will start, load, modulate, unload, blowdown and automatically stop as necessary to meet the system
demand for air. There are several differences, however, when running in the Sequence mode.
Normally, in Automatic mode, each compressor would respond to pressure changes seen at the
discharge of each individual machine. In Sequence mode, each compressor responds to the system
pressure as seen by the Lead compressor in the group. Each Lag compressor will be commanded by
the group Leader to run the same percentage of full capacity. In other words, the Lag compressors do
not use their own internal modulation algorithm to govern their speed. Instead, the Lead compressor
dictates the operating speed of all compressors in the group based on the pressure seen at the system
sample point on the receiver or manifold.
The Lead compressor will automatically show the system pressure in the fourth line of the display
unless the operator chooses a different parameter from the front panel or an Advisory Fault needs to
be displayed by the controller. The following sections describe the different possible scenarios during
sequencing operation.
¾ Important Note: It is very important that the Target, Load and Unload pressure values under the
Operation Adjustment menu are programmed identically in all members of a sequence group.
¾ Important Note: Fixed speed compressors that are equipped with an AirSmart Controller and a
Communications Module can be added to any sequencing network, however, they will always
operate at full speed (100%) when commanded to start.
13-17-604 Page 31
5.1.1 Increasing Air Demand
As the plant demand for air increases, the speed of the Lead compressor will also increase to meet
the demand. When the speed of the Lead compressor reaches the Transfer Load Increment value
(usually 80%), it will not increase any further. If the demand continues to increase, the system
pressure will drop below the Load Pressure value programmed into the Lead compressor and the
next Lag compressor is brought on-line provided that the Lag Start Delay timer has expired. The
Lag Start Delay timer begins counting down as soon as the Lead (or most recently started Lag)
compressor begins modulation. As each Lag compressor is started, the operating speed of the
sequence group decreases due to the increased air capacity of the sequence group. Each
compressor in the group will be commanded by the Leader to run the same percentage of individual
full speed regardless of compressor size. If the air demand continues to increase, the Lead will start
another Lag machine when the group speed reaches the Transfer Load Increment value. When all
possible Lag compressors are running, the speed of the sequence group is allowed to rise above the
Transfer Load Increment value up to 100%.
5.1.2 Decreasing Air Demand

As the plant demand for air decreases, the speed of the sequence group will also decrease down to
the Transfer Load Decrement value (usually 35%) and freeze. If the demand for air continues to
decrease, the system pressure will increase until it reaches the Unload Pressure value programmed
into the Lead compressor at which time the Lag machine with the largest Unit Number will be
commanded to stop. As each Lag compressor is stopped, the operating speed of the sequence
group increases due to the loss of total air capacity in the sequence group. As the air demand
continues to decrease, the Lead will drop off all Lag compressors in a similar fashion until only the
Lead compressor remains. After all Lag compressors have stopped, the Lead machine is allowed to
operate below the Transfer Load Decrement level down to 20%.
5.1.3 Transfer of Lead Control

The transfer of lead control of the sequence group can occur in three different ways. The first method
of control transfer occurs when the Transfer Interval parameter under the Sequence Adjust menu is
set to an hour value other than zero. During long periods of low plant air demand when
compressor(s) in the group are sitting idle, the Lead compressor will transfer its control to an equal
sized Lag compressor after the Transfer Interval time elapses.
The second method of control transfer occurs when the operator presses the Stop/Reset button on
the display panel stopping the current Lead compressor. In this case, control is transferred to the
compressor with the next largest Unit Number, regardless of compressor size.
The third method of control transfer occurs when a shutdown fault stops the current Lead
compressor. In this case, control is transferred to the compressor with the next largest Unit Number,
regardless of compressor size.
5.2 Sequencing Operation (Blower application)
Each member blower in a sequence group operates similarly to the Automatic mode of operation. It
will start, load, and automatically stop (lead machine will not stop) as necessary to meet the system
demand for air. There are several differences, however, when running in the Sequence mode.
Normally, in Automatic mode, each blower would respond to pressure changes seen at the discharge
or inlet of each individual machine. In Sequence mode, each blower responds to the system pressure
as seen by the Lead blower in the group. Each Lag blower will be commanded by the group Leader to
run the same percentage of full capacity. In other words, the Lag blowers do not use their own internal
13-17-604 Page 32
modulation algorithm to govern their speed. Instead, the Lead blower dictates the operating speed of
all blowers in the group based on the pressure seen at the system sample point on the manifold.
¾ Important Note: It is very important that the Target and Release pressure values under the
Operation Adjustment and Sequence Adjustment menus are programmed identically in all members
of a sequence group.
¾ Important Note: Fixed speed blowers that are equipped with an AirSmart Controller and a
Communications Module can be added to any sequencing network, however, they will always
operate at full speed (100%) when commanded to start.
5.2.1 Increasing Air Demand

As the plant demand for air increases, the speed of the Lead blower also increases to meet the
demand. When the speed of the Lead blower reaches the Transfer Load Increment value (usually
80%), it will not increase any further. If the demand continues to increase, the system pressure will
drop below the Target Pressure value programmed into the Lead blower and the next Lag blower is
brought on-line provided that the Lag Start Delay timer has expired. The Lag Start Delay timer
begins counting down as soon as the Lead (or most recently started Lag) blower begins modulation.
As each Lag blower is started, the operating speed of the sequence group decreases due to the
increased air capacity of the sequence group. Each blower in the group will be commanded by the
Leader to run the same percentage of individual full speed regardless of blower size. If the air
demand continues to increase, the Lead will start another Lag machine when the group speed
reaches the Transfer Load Increment value. When all possible Lag blowers are running, the speed of
the sequence group is allowed to rise above the Transfer Load Increment value up to 100%.
5.2.2 Decreasing Air Demand

As the plant demand for air decreases, the speed of the sequence group will also decrease down to
the Transfer Load Decrement value (usually 40%) and freeze. If the demand for air continues to
decrease, the system pressure will increase until it reaches the Release Pressure value
programmed into the Lead blower at which time the Lag machine with the largest Unit Number will
be commanded to stop. As each Lag blower is stopped, the operating speed of the sequence group
increases due to the loss of total air capacity in the sequence group. As the air demand continues to
decrease, the Lead will drop off all Lag blowers in a similar fashion until only the Lead blower
remains. After all Lag compressors have stopped, the Lead machine is allowed to operate below the
Transfer Load Decrement level down to 20%.
5.2.3 Transfer of Lead Control

The transfer of lead control of the sequence group can occur in three different ways. The first method
of control transfer occurs when the Transfer Interval parameter under the Sequence Adjust menu is

with the next largest Unit Number, regardless of blower size.
The third method of control transfer occurs when a shutdown fault stops the current Lead blower. In
this case, control is transferred to the blower with the next largest Unit Number, regardless of blower
size.

13-17-604 Page 34
5.3.1 Install System Pressure Transducer
In order for the Communications Module to properly control the sequencing of multiple compressors
or blowers, it requires an additional pressure reading from the air system receiver or manifold. Each
member of the sequence group is to become a Lead machine is required to have a system pressure
transducer so that lead control transfers can occur.
The transducer is installed into either the roof or the side of the control box or package. A typical
compressor installation is shown in Error! Reference source not found. below. For a typical blower
installation, see Figure 7. Refer to the Operators Manual of the machine being sequenced for the
proper location. Item 2, in the figure below, is a weatherproof bulkhead (GDI Part No. 64EB368) in
which the pressure transducer, item 3 (GDI Part No. VP1011577 for a compressor or VP1033786 for
a blower) is installed. In addition, a ¼ inch pressure sample tube is connected from the plant air
system receiver or manifold to the system pressure transducer in the control box.

5.3.2 Move Plant Pressure Transducer Connection
The Plant Pressure transducer, which is already installed in the compressor or blower, must also be
connected to the Communications Module in order to eliminate the error in the signal when used in a
sequenced system. The Plant Pressure transducer is normally connected to pins 4 through 6 of
connector P5 on a Value Controller or pins 7 through 9 of connector P14 on a Full-sized Controller.
Move the Plant Pressure transducer connection to pins 4 through 6 of P17 on the Communications
Module as shown in Figure 5 above. Be sure to observe the wire colors shown in Figure 5.

5.5 Install Communications Network
The final step in the sequencing setup is to install the communications network so that the Lead
compressor or blower can communicate with and control the Lag machines. Error! Reference source
not found. shows a typical control box installation where item 1 is a weatherproof bulkhead (GDI Part
No. 24CA615) through which the network wires (Belden 3106A or equivalent – GDI Part No. 97J93)

6 Remote Monitoring
Remote monitoring allows the user to observe the operation of the compressor or blower from a remote
location using the serial and/or Ethernet connection on the Communications Module. The serial port uses the
Modbus RTU protocol while the Ethernet port uses Modbus RTU over UDP/IP.
Important Note: The serial port and the Ethernet port should NOT be used at the same time.
6.1 Modbus RTU over Serial Line
The Modbus RTU protocol used on the serial port uses Function code 0x03 (03 decimal) to read all the
registers listed in the following pages. The Modbus address used to communicate with the
Communications Module is equal to the least significant byte of the IP address set in the Sequencing
Adjust menu. For more information about Modbus, the Modbus Application Protocol Specification can
be downloaded free of charge at www.Modbus-IDA.org.
The following shows an example of reading Registers 1001 – 1005 from the Communications Module.

6.2 Modbus RTU over UDP/IP
The Modbus RTU protocol used on the Ethernet port is identical to that described in the serial port
section above except that the Modbus data packet is wrapped inside of a UDP datagram before being
sent over the network.
The Communications Module (server) automatically opens UDP port number 2001 for receiving data
packets from the client. The client, in turn, must open UDP port number 2000 to receive data from the
Communications Module. The Communications Module does not support Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) so it is necessary for each unit to be programmed with a unique IP address.
The response time for the Communications Module over Ethernet will be determined mostly by network
traffic and how many network devices (switches, routers, etc.) the data must pass through. A typical
response time over a local network is around two seconds.
