2.1 Using the manual This operation and maintenance manual has been specially designed keeping the customer in mind so that the person can get the most out of this EG compressor. Before starting the compressor, it is requested that the manual should be read thoroughly. It contains vital information about installation, commissioning, operation and useful tips on maintenance to keep the compressor as good as new, year after year.
2.2 Introduction Welcome to the ELGi customer family. ELGi compressors EN SERIES compressors ship in a compact design and are are the source of compressed air in various segments self-contained. The absence of reciprocating parts helps across the globe. the compressor run without noise or vibration.
2.3 Safety The operator must follow the safe working practices, instructions, procedures that this manual describes for safe operation. The maintenance personnel must be Ensure the operator is located far away from the intake of the compressor. Position the after-cooler discharge pipe in a way that it adequately trained, and have read and thoroughly is free to expand under heat and is not in contact with understood this ‘Operation and maintenance manual’. or close to flammable materials.
1910.134 or F.D.A. 21 C.F.R. 178.3570 regulations. depressurize a hose fully before disconnecting it. Failure to do so may cause severe injury or death. Insulate or use protective guards to cover pipes or other parts that may exceed 80ºC (176ºF). High-temperature pipes must have a clear marking as potentially dangerous. Position the compressor on level surface. In case of inclined surface, contact ELGi.
Moving Parts Keep hands, feet, floor, controls and walking surfaces clean and free of fluid, water or other liquids to minimize the possibility of slips and falls. Hot surfaces Avoid bodily contact with hot oil and hot surfaces like cooler, pipes etc. Keep all parts of the body away from all points of air discharge. Keep a first aid kit handy. Seek medical assistance promptly in case of injury. Do not ignore small cuts and burns.
Use only genuine spare parts. Refer the section “Use genuine spare parts” in “Maintenance” chapter. Before switching on the compressor ensure that proper earthing is done as per recommendation. Make all adjustments or repairs with one hand. This minimizes the risk of creating a current path through Ensure that the compressor is cooled down before maintenance is performed. the heart. Conduct repairs only in a clean, dry, well-lit and ventilated area.
If you are going to switch on remotely controlled compressors must ensure that nobody is checking or working on the compressor at that time. A warning sign near the equipment’s start button is mandatory. Wait up to five minutes to ensure that the air in the airoil separator tank is released to start routing maintenance. Vent all internal pressure prior to opening any line, fitting, valve, drain plug, connection or other components such as filters. Vent pressure by popping up the safety valve.
2.4 Functional description Figure 1. Screw compressor systems - Schematic diagram 2.4.1 Air circuit The oil separated and collected in this element is then Atmospheric air enters into the airend through the air passes through a minimum pressure valve (MPV). It intake system. The intake filters (pre filter and air filter) prevent the entry of foreign particles (such as dust) into the airend.
vibration mountings reside below the airend and the motor. This configuration reduces the transmission of vibration from both the airend and motor to the structure, reducing noise and ensuring reliability of the parts mounted on the structure. 2.4.4 Control system Depending on the demand for compressed air from the application at a particular time, the compressor needs to respond accordingly. The compressor, therefore, operates in either loading or unloading mode to meet this requirement.

5.1.4 Site requirements Neither install the machine in a location where flame is Install the air compressor in a clean, dry, cool, and dust free room as extreme temperatures (hot or cold), moisture, and airborne contaminants can significantly affect compressor performance, durability, and compressed air quality. Be aware the entrance to the compressor room should be high enough and wide enough to carry the used nor place any inflammable objects near the compressor.
Guidelines to compressor ventilation setup: Follow these guidelines when providing ventilation for the compressor: Provide openings close to the floor level on walls/ partitions close to the air suction side of the compressor Provide exhaust openings close to the ceiling for hot air exit. Ensure the air velocity in the supply and exhaust ducts does not exceed 13.1ft/s (4m/s). Determine air velocity during commissioning using an anemometer.
