  • Page 13: General Description

    Instruction book General description Introduction General view General view of GA VSD Description of GA VSD compressors GA VSD (Variable Speed Drive) compressors are single-stage, oil-injected screw compressors directly driven by an electric motor. The compressors deliver pulsation-free air. By continuously matching the speed of the drive motor to the air net pressure, the compressor optimizes energy consumption and reduces the operating pressure band.

    Instruction book Ref. Designation Load Indirect stop Start (10) Indirect stop offset If the motor is running at minimum speed and the net pressure rises to a value equal to the sum of the programmed pressure set-point and the programmed indirect stop offset, the compressor will stop. When the net pressure drops, the regulator will calculate the optimum moment to restart the compressor to avoid the net pressure decreasing below the pressure set-point (anticipated starting).
  • Page 21: Control Panel

    The regulator has a built-in function to automatically restart the compressor if the voltage is restored after voltage failure. This function is deactivated in compressors leaving the factory. If desired, the function can be activated. Consult Atlas Copco. If activated and provided the module was in the automatic operation mode, the compressor will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored within a programmed time period.

dwell or stay in the risk zone under a lifted load. Lifting acceleration and deceleration must be kept within
safe limits. Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
2. Place the machine where the ambient air is as cool and clean as possible. If necessary, install a suction
duct. Never obstruct the air inlet. Care must be taken to minimize the entry of moisture at the inlet air.
3. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting the pipes.
4. Air hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure. Never use frayed, damaged or
worn hoses. Distribution pipes and connections must be of the correct size and suitable for the working
pressure.
5. The aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes, vapours and particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead
to internal fire or explosion.
6. Arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by people cannot be sucked in.
7. Ensure that the discharge pipe from the compressor to the aftercooler or air net is free to expand under
heat and that it is not in contact with or close to flammable materials.
8. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of strain.
9. If remote control is installed, the machine must bear a clear sign stating: DANGER: This machine is
remotely controlled and may start without warning.
The operator has to make sure that the machine is stopped and that the isolating switch is open and locked
before any maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard, persons switching on remotely controlled
machines shall take adequate precautions to ensure that there is no one checking or working on the
machine. To this end, a suitable notice shall be affixed to the start equipment.
10. Air-cooled machines must be installed in such a way that an adequate flow of cooling air is available and
that the exhausted air does not recirculate to the compressor air inlet or cooling air inlet.
11. The electrical connections must correspond to the applicable codes. The machines must be earthed and
protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. A lockable power isolating switch must be installed
near the compressor.
12. On machines with automatic start/stop system or if the automatic restart function after voltage failure is
activated, a sign stating "This machine may start without warning" must be affixed near the instrument
panel.
13. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each compressor. Non-return
valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure systems.
14. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices, guards or insulation fitted on the machine. Every pressure
vessel or auxiliary installed outside the machine to contain air above atmospheric pressure must be
protected by a pressure relieving device or devices as required.
15. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 80˚C (176˚F) and which may be accidentally touched
by personnel in normal operation must be guarded or insulated. Other high temperature piping must be
clearly marked.
16. For water-cooled machines, the cooling water system installed outside the machine has to be protected by
a safety device with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure.
17. If the ground is not level or can be subject to variable inclination, consult the manufacturer.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and Safety
precautions during maintenance.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.

Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be completely
purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld on, or in any way modify,
pressure vessels.
Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is overheated, the
machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before sufficient cooling time has
elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil vapour when air is admitted.
Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure vessel, etc.
Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they function properly.
They may not be put out of action.
Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating pressures,
temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down devices are fitted and that
they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard of the compressor drive shaft has been
reinstalled.
Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of the oil separator
vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture from entering
them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on the bodywork
and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition. If damaged, replace it by
genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound pressure level from increasing.
Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate bowls.
The following safety precautions are stressed when handling refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if required, use
breathing protection.
2920 1728 05

• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin with water. If
liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or remove the latter; flush
abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant is flushed away; then seek medical
first aid.
Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during installation and Safety
precautions during operation.
These precautions apply to machinery processing or consuming air or inert gas.
Processing of any other gas requires additional safety precautions typical to the application
which are not included herein.
Some precautions are general and cover several machine types and equipment; hence

Introduction
General view
General view of GA VSD
Description of GA VSD compressors
GA VSD (Variable Speed Drive) compressors are single-stage, oil-injected screw compressors directly driven
by an electric motor. The compressors deliver pulsation-free air. By continuously matching the speed of the
drive motor to the air net pressure, the compressor optimizes energy consumption and reduces the operating
pressure band.
GA VSD compressors are air-cooled.
GA W VSD compressors are water-cooled.
The following features are available as an option:
Full-Feature
A refrigerant dryer is fully integrated into the bodywork of the compressor. This All-in-one feature reduces
the required space for installation and provides savings on piping installation costs.
2920 1728 05
11
Instruction book
DD filter
The compressor is provided with an integrated filter of the DD type to limit carry-over of solid particles and
oil. By integrating a DD filter, the compressor delivers Quality Air according to ISO 8573-1, Class 2.4.2.
Energy recovery
The compressor is provided with an Atlas Copco energy recovery system to recover the major part of the
compression heat in the form of hot water without any influence on the compressor performance.
High ambient temperature (HAT)
The compressor is specially designed for continuous operation under humid and high ambient temperature
conditions. The maximum ambient temperature is:
• 50 ˚C (122 ˚F) for GA Full Feature and GA Full Feature with DD filter
• 55 °C (131 °F) for GA Pack
Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid
Roto-Xtend Duty Fluid is a special, long-life lubricant for GA oil-injected screw compressors. It provides
better cooling and extends the oil change interval.
SPM monitoring
A number of vibration sensors are provided on the drive motor and compressor elements. The readings can
be called up on the display of the Elektronikon regulator.
Anchor pads
Steel plates, fitting in the forklift slots, and bolts are shipped loose with the compressor. With these plates
and bolts, the compressor frame can be fixed to the floor.
Automatic water shut-off
A water shut-off valve is provided in the cooling water system to shut off the system when the compressor is
not in operation.
GSM alarm
The compressor is equipped with a device that is able to send SMS messages or emails to one or more predefined cell phones via a built-in modem at pre-defined events to give information about the status of the
monitored equipment involved.
Heavy duty filter for VSD cubicle
A heavy-duty filter is provided to allow the compressor to operate in heavily contaminated surroundings (e.g.
cement or mining industry).

Air flow
Air drawn through filter (AF) is compressed in compressor element (E). Compressed air and oil are discharged
through check valve (CV) to air receiver/oil separator (AR) where oil is separated from the compressed air.
The air is blown through minimum pressure valve (Vp) to air cooler (Ca).
On GA Pack compressors, the cooled air is discharged through condensate trap (MTa) and outlet (AOw)
towards the air net.
On GA Full-Feature compressors, the cooled air is discharged through condensate trap (MTa) and outlet
(AOd) towards the air net via the integrated air dryer.
Check valve (CV) prevents blow-back of compressed air.
Minimum pressure valve (Vp) prevents the receiver pressure from dropping below a minimum pressure. The
valve has a built-in check valve.
Oil system
Air pressure forces the oil from receiver (AR) through oil cooler (Co), filters (OF), oil stop valve (Vs) and an
oil injection valve to the compressor element (E) and the lubrication points. The oil injection valve will open
at higher ambient temperatures to keep the element outlet temperature low.
A by-pass valve by-passes the oil cooler (Co) when the injection pressure is low, to ensure a sufficient initial
oil flow to the element when starting the compressor or when switching from unload to load.
For air-cooled units, the oil temperature is controlled by regulating the speed of the fans (FN), to avoid
overcooling and consequently condensation in the air receiver (AR).
16
2920 1728 05
Instruction book
On air-cooled compressors with energy recovery or water-cooled compressors, the oil temperature is
controlled by a thermostatic or electronic valve to avoid overcooling and consequently condensation in the
air receiver (AR).
In the air receiver (AR) most of the oil is removed from the air centrifugally. Almost all of the remaining oil
is removed by the separator element.

Instruction book
A condensate trap is installed downstream of the air cooler to prevent condensate from entering the air outlet
pipe. The trap is provided with a float valve for automatically draining condensate and with a manual drain
valve.
On Full-Feature compressors a condensate trap is also installed downstream of the dryer. This trap is also
provided with a float valve for automatically draining condensate.
Cooling system
On air-cooled compressors, the air and oil coolers are cooled by fans.
Water-cooled compressors are provided with a cooling water system, including combined oil and air coolers.
2.4
Energy recovery system
General description
The maximum allowed pressure at the water side of the heat exchanger is 10 bar (145 psi).
The energy required in any compression process is mainly transformed into heat. The major part of the
compression heat is dissipated through the oil system. The Atlas Copco energy recovery systems are designed
to recover most of the above-mentioned heat as warm or hot water without any adverse influence on the
compressor performance.
After the compression stage, the oil is separated from the compressed air. The compressed air flows to the
aftercooler and the oil flows to the oil cooler. The energy in the oil can be recovered by installing a heat
exchanger in front of the oil cooler.
The energy recovery systems can be applied as low temperature rise / high water flow systems (e.g. central
heating in closed water circuits) or as high temperature rise / low water flow systems (e.g. pre-heating of
boiler feed water in open water circuits).
Main components
The system mainly comprises:
•
•
•
•
•
Oil/water heat exchanger (HE)
Energy recovery valve (Y152)
Oil by-pass valve (Y151)
Temperature sensors for water inlet and outlet
The necessary pipes, brackets, bolts, etc.
Installation
The package includes:
• a general by-pass system, to shut down the energy recovery system
• a by-pass system to prevent the oil outlet temperature from dropping below the minimum value.
When the Energy Recovery system is working, this by-pass system makes the oil flow through the Energy
Recovery heat exchanger instead of the normal oil cooler

• pd = 6.96 F2 + 2.71 F
For GA 160:
• pd = 4.23 F2 + 1.62 F
With:
• pd = pressure drop in kPa
• F = water flow in L/s
The pressure drops calculated with the formulas above are indicative.

Flow diagram
The recovery water enters the unit at the heat exchanger inlet connection (Wi). In the heat exchanger the
compression heat is transferred from the compressor to the water. The water leaves the heat exchanger via
the outlet connection (Wo).
Installation
The compressor frame is prepared for the Energy Recovery system. Before mounting the installation, the two
laser prepared holes in the frame must be cut out.

Water-cooled compressors
Operation
The compressor oil flow is controlled by two by-pass valves (Y152 and Y151 ), ensuring reliable compressor
operation and optimum energy recovery.
Recoverable Energy
The graphs of section Principal data below represent the performance for each power variant of GA90-160+
at reference working pressure. The curves represent the limits of the energy recovery area and were obtained
with the temperature of the element outlet as indicated in the graph. All points below the curve with Tc=85
°C are possible working points where the recovered energy is maximized for lower element outlet
temperatures.
The formula to calculate the amount of recovered energy is:
Q (kW) = 4.2 x q (l/s) x dT (°C)
with
• q = water flow in l/s
• dT = temperature difference between water at inlet and outlet
For a VSD compressor, when running at a lower motor speed, the recoverable energy will be lower, because
the dT that can be reached is smaller. This can be calculated by using the graph for maximum speed (see
“performance curves”) and then recalculating the dT:
22
2920 1728 05
Instruction book
dTv=dT x (RPMv/RPMmax)
dTv = the lower temperature rise that can be reached at lower motor speed
RPMv = the lower motor speed
RPMmax = the maximum motor speed that can be reached by the GA VSD
Settings
The compressor should never be running in “lowest dewpoint mode”. (See section Modifying fan motor
settings). The vessel temperature setting has to be set by an Atlas Copco service technician.
Regulation
The element outlet temperature must always be higher than the condensation temperature. (see section
Starting). The software in the Elektronikon regulator of GA90-160+ compressors prevents the outlet
temperature of the compressor element from dropping below the condensation temperature. Electronic valve
(Y152) will be used to switch the Energy Recovery system on or off and to regulate the energy recovery.
Electronic valve (Y151) is used to regulate the oil flow through the heat exchangers and consequently the
compressor element outlet temperature. The regulation will aim for an element outlet temperature of 90 °C /
194 °F.
Start status
Compressor stopped, Energy Recovery 0%, all oil goes through normal oil cooler.
Unloaded operation
No Energy Recovery, oil flows through the regular oil cooler and is PI-regulated.
Loaded operation
• Compressor loads, cooling doesn’t change
• Cooling stabilizes through regular oil cooler with PI-regulation, no Energy Recovery yet
• Electronic valve (Y152) starts opening, the Energy Recovery is started. The flow through the oil cooler
is PI-regulated
• Depending on the needed cooling:
• Less cooling is needed: flow through Energy Recovery cooler is PI-regulated, flow through oil cooler
is minimum
• More cooling is needed: flow through Energy Recovery cooler is maximum, flow through oil cooler
is PI-regulated

Calculation examples
Example point X
High temperature rise, low water flow application, e.g. pre-heating of boiler feed water in open circuit:
•
•
•
•
•
Compressor unit: GA160-50Hz
Working pressure: 14 bar / 200 psi
Water flow: 0.6 l/s / 1.27 cfm
Water inlet temperature: 36°C / 97 °F
Water outlet temperature: 90 °C / 194 °F
The formula to calculate the amount of recovered energy results in (2):
• 4.2 x 0.6 x (90 - 36) = 136 kW ( ± as indicated on the curve)
The outlet temperature for a water flow of 0.6 l/s can be calculated backwards from formula (2):
• Toutlet = 36 + (136 / (4.2 x 0.6)) = 90 °C
Total pressure drop on waterside is (1):
• pd = (4.23 x 0.6²) + (1.62 x 0.6) = 2.5 kPa = 25 mbar
Example point Y
Low temperature rise, high water flow application, e.g. central heating in closed circuit:
•
•
•
•
•
Compressor unit: GA160-50Hz
Working pressure: 14 bar / 200 psi
Water flow: 4 l/s / 0.87 cfm
Water inlet temperature: 55.8°C / 132.4 °F
Water outlet temperature: 64.2 °C / 147.6 °F
The formula to calculate the amount of recovered energy results in (2):
• 4.2 x 4 x (64.2-55.8) = 141 kW ( ± as indicated on the curve of 85°C)
The outlet temperatures for a water flow of 6 l/s can be calculated backwards from formula (2):
24
2920 1728 05
Instruction book
• Toutlet = 55.8 + (141 / (4.2 x 4)) = 64.2°C
Total pressure drop on waterside is (1):
• pd = (4.23 x 4²) + (1.62 x 4) = 74 kPa = 0.74 bar
Example point Y for a GA VSD working at 1500 RPM, when max RPM is 3000:
dT = 90-36 = 54°C
RPMv = 1500
RPMmax = 3000
dTv = 54 x (1500/3000) = 27 °C
Q = 4.2 x 0.6 x 27 = 68 kW
Example point Z
•
•
•
•
•
Compressor unit: GA160-50Hz
Working pressure: 14 bar / 200 psi
Water flow: 1 l/s / 2.12 cfm
Water inlet temperature: 60°C / 140 °F
Water outlet temperature: 87.8°C / 190 °F
The formula to calculate the amount of recovered energy results in (2):
• 4.2 x 1 x (87.8-60) = 117 kW
The outlet temperatures for a water flow of 1 l/s can be calculated backwards from formula (2):
• Toutlet = 60 + (117 / (4.2 x 1)) = 87.8°C
Total pressure drop on waterside is (1):
• pd = (4.23 x 1²) + (1.62 x 1) = 5.85 kPa = 58.5 mbar
This proves that it is possible to work at higher temperatures, but with less heating power.
The temperature of the vessel can be set to 100°C as well. The installation can work in a higher curve,
to obtain a higher water outlet temperature. This setting must be done by a service technician of Atlas
Copco.
Example point below the lowest curve
2920 1728 05

Instruction book
•
•
•
•
Compressor unit: GA 160 VSD
Working pressure: 8 bar / 116 psi
Water inlet temperature: 30 °C / 86 °F
Water outlet temperature: 60 °C / 140 °F
The lowest curve is the maximum energy that can be recovered. If it is necessary to work in the area below
the lowest curve, you have to calculate with the 140.5kW anyway.
dT=30 °C/ 54 °F (60 °C - 30 °C / 140 °F - 86 °F)
c = 4.2 J/kgK (for water)
Q= 140.5 kW (lowest curve)
Formula for recovered energy is : ==> Q = m x c x dT
==> m = Q / (c x dT)
==> m = 140.5 / (4.2 x 30)
==> m = 1.115 l/s
Additional safety precautions
• The parts must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable safety regulations.
Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting.
• Wear a safety helmet when working in the area of overhead or lifting equipment.
• Protect hands to avoid injury from hot machine parts, e.g. during draining of oil.
• Protection caps, bags, etc. must be removed before connecting the pipes.
• Water hoses must be of correct size and suitable for the working pressure.
• The water connections must be free of strain.
• Pipe work or other parts with a temperature in excess of 80˚C (176˚F) must be guarded or insulated. Other
high-temperature pipe work must be clearly marked.
26
2920 1728 05
Instruction book
• The water system installed outside the machine has to be protected by a safety device with set pressure
according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure.
• All maintenance work shall only be undertaken when the machine has cooled down.
• Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system.

Elektronikon regulator
3.1
Elektronikon control system
Main functions
In general, the Elektronikon regulator has the following functions:
• Controlling the motor speed (Variable Speed Drive), reducing the power consumption and pressure band.
• Controlling the speed of the fans of the coolers, reducing the power consumption and noise level.
• On Full-Feature compressors, controlling the speed of the compressor motor of the air dryer, reducing the
power consumption and regulating the dryer performance.
• Protecting the compressor.
• Monitoring components - service warning.
• Automatic restart after voltage failure.
Controlling the compressor speed - reducing power consumption and pressure band
VSD compressors optimise the power consumption and reduce the operating pressure band by matching the
motor speed to the air net pressure.
The regulator will continuously vary the motor speed maintaining the net pressure as close as possible to the
programmed pressure set-point. The pressure fluctuations will be very low.

Indirect stop offset
If the motor is running at minimum speed and the net pressure rises to a value equal to the sum of the
programmed pressure set-point and the programmed indirect stop offset, the compressor will stop.
When the net pressure drops, the regulator will calculate the optimum moment to restart the compressor to
avoid the net pressure decreasing below the pressure set-point (anticipated starting).
Direct stopping
If the net pressure should rise to a value equal to the sum of the programmed pressure set-point and the
programmed direct stop offset, the compressor will be stopped immediately.
The regulator will calculate the optimum moment to restart the compressor.
Protecting the compressor
Control panel
Shut-down and motor overload
If the element outlet temperature or compressor outlet temperature exceeds the programmed shut-down level,
the compressor will be stopped. LED (2) will flash and a message will appear on display (1).
The compressor will also be stopped if there is overload of the drive motor.
On air-cooled compressors, the compressor will also stop if there is overload of the fan motors.
If there is overload of the dryer motor, the dryer will be stopped and a message will appear on display (1) to
warn the operator.
Consult the section Maintenance warnings and remedy the problem. After remedying the problem and when
the shut-down condition has disappeared, switch on the voltage and press the Reset key.
Shut-down warning
2920 1728 05
41
Instruction book
If the element outlet temperature or compressor outlet temperature exceeds a programmed value below the
shut-down level, LED (2) will be lit and a message will appear on display (1) to warn the operator before the
shut-down level is reached.
Consult the section Maintenance warnings, stop the compressor and remedy the problem.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.
Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped (called Level A, B, C, ...). Each level has a programmed time
interval. If a time interval is exceeded, a message will appear on display (1) to warn the operator to carry out
the service actions belonging to that level.
Automatic restart after voltage failure
The regulator has a built-in function to automatically restart the compressor if the voltage is restored after
voltage failure. This function is deactivated in compressors leaving the factory. If desired, the function can
be activated. Consult Atlas Copco.
If activated and provided the module was in the automatic operation mode, the compressor
will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored within a
programmed time period.
The power recovery time (the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an
automatic restart) can be set between 15 and 3600 seconds or to Infinite. If the power
recovery time is set to Infinite, the compressor will always restart after a voltage failure,
no matter how long it takes to restore the voltage. A restart delay can also be programmed,
allowing e.g. two compressors to be restarted one after the other.

Emergency stop button
Control panel
Description
In case of emergency, press button (S2) to stop the compressor immediately.
Using the emergency stop breaks the circuit to:
•
•
•
•
the variable speed drive unit of the drive motor.
on air-cooled compressors, the variable speed drive unit of the fan motors.
on Full-Feature compressors, the dryer fan motor.
on GA (W) VSD Full-Feature compressors, the variable speed drive unit of the compressor motor of the
dryer.
By using the emergency stop, solenoid valve (Y2) will open the blow-off port, resulting in depressurisation
of the air receiver.
At the occurrence of an emergency stop, the compressor element is stopped immediately and the solenoid
valve will be deactivated by Elektronikon ® regulator. No unload status is reached. The check valve prevents
oil flow back from reversed rotation of the compressor element.
Before starting any maintenance or repairs, wait until the compressor has
stopped and open the isolating switch (customer's installation) to switch off the
voltage to the compressor.
Close the air outlet valve and open the manual condensate drain valves to
depressurize the air system.
Apply all relevant Safety precautions.

Terminology
Term
Explanation
ARAVF
Automatic restart after voltage failure. See Elektronikon regulator.
Required stop
period/Minimum
stop time
Once the compressor has automatically stopped, it will remain stopped for the minimum
stop time (approx. 20 seconds), whatever the net air pressure. In automatic operation, the
compressor will not be stopped by the regulator until a standstill period of at least the sum
of the minimum stop time and required stop period is expected. However, if the decrease
in net air pressure should require a new start of the compressor, the regulator will start the
compressor after the minimum stop time.
Power recovery
time
Is the period within which the voltage must be restored to have an automatic restart. Is
accessible if the automatic restart is activated. To activate the automatic restart function,
consult Atlas Copco.
Delay at shutdown signal
Is the time for which the signal must exist before the compressor is shut down. If it is
required to program this setting to another value, consult Atlas Copco.

Install the compressor on a level floor suitable for taking its weight. For ventilation
alternative 1 (indicated as Alt. 1), the minimum distance between the top of the bodywork
and the ceiling is 1200 mm (47.2 in).
2
Remove the plastic plug (if provided) from the compressor air outlet pipe and fit the air
outlet valve (to be provided by the customer) to the pipe. Close the valve and connect it
to the net.
3
The pressure drop over the air outlet pipe can be calculated as follows:
For SI Units:
dp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x p)
d = Inner diameter of the outlet pipe in mm
dp = Pressure drop (recommended maximum = 0.1 bar)
L = Length of outlet pipe in m
p = Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
Qc = Free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
For British/American Units:
dp = (L x Qc1.85) / (1470 x d5 x p)
d = Inner diameter of the outlet pipe in in
dp = Pressure drop (recommended maximum = 1.45 psi)
L = Length of outlet pipe in ft
p = Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in psig
Qc = Free air delivery of the compressor in cfm
It is recommended that the connection of the compressor air outlet pipe is made on top of
the main air net pipe in order to minimize carry-over of possible condensate residue.
As a rule of thumb, the following formula can be used to calculate the recommended
volume of the air net:
V = (30 x C x p x Q) / Dp
C = Correction factor
Dp = Pressure difference between unloading and loading pressures in bar (recommended
minimum = 0.6)
p = Compressor inlet pressure in bar absolute
Q = Free air delivery of compressor in l/s
V = Recommended air net volume in l

The inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that any recirculation
of cooling air to the compressor is avoided. The maximum air velocity through the grids is
5 m/s (16.5 ft/s).
The required ventilation to limit the compressor room temperature can be calculated as
follows:
For SI Units:
On air-cooled compressors: Qv = 0.92 N/dT
On water-cooled compressors: Qv = 0.1 N/dT
Qv = Required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = Shaft input of compressor in kW (for Pack compressors)
N = Shaft input of compressor in kW + heat dissipated by dryer in KW (for Full-Feature
compressors)
dT = Temperature increase in compressor room
For British/American Units:
On air-cooled compressors: Qv = 2618.5 N/dT
On water-cooled compressors: Qv = 284.5 N/dT
Qv = Required ventilation capacity in cfm
N = Shaft input of compressor in hp (for Pack compressors)
N = Shaft input of compressor in hp + heat dissipated by dryer in hp (for Full-Feature
compressors)
dT = Temperature increase in compressor room
If cooling air ducts are installed, the maximum allowable pressure drop over the ducts is
30 Pa (0.12 in wc). The maximum pressure drop depends on the ambient temperature.
The fan capacity should match the compressor fan capacity at a pressure head equal to
the pressure drop caused by the cooling air outlet ducts. Consult Atlas Copco.
5
Remove the plastic plugs (if provided) from the condensate outlets and fit the manual
condensate drain valve. Lay out the drain piping towards the condensate collector. The
drain pipes must not dip into the water of the drain collector. It is recommended to provide
a funnel to allow visual inspection of the condensate flow.
6
Location of the Elektronikon regulator.
7
See Electric cable size for the recommended size of the supply cables.
Check that the electrical connections correspond to the local codes. The installation must
be earthed and protected against short circuits by fuses in all phases. An isolating switch
must be installed near the compressor.
-
A water shut-off valve and water drain valve in the compressor water inlet pipe and outlet
pipe can be installed by the customer. If water shut-off valves are installed, a safety device
with set pressure according to the maximum cooling water inlet pressure has to be installed
between the compressor water outlet pipe and the shut-off valve. When operating the unit,
the operator must ensure that the cooling water system cannot be blocked.
The above mentioned also applies for the energy recovery cooling system.
Remove the plastic plugs (if provided) from the compressor water pipes and connect the
pipes to the cooling water circuit.
For water-cooled compressors, the cooling water system installed outside the compressor
must be protected by a safety device with set pressure according to the maximum cooling
water inlet pressure.

General instruction for the electrical installation of VSD compressors
• Electrical equipment from Atlas Copco Compressor is designed in accordance with the safety regulations
described in IEC60204-1 and CENELEC EN60204.
• It is the responsibility of the customer to install the compressor unit according to the safety regulations in
order to protect people from electric shocks from direct or indirect contact.
2920 1728 05
91
Instruction book
• In drives with frequency converters, leakage currents occur along the RFI filter and the cable capacities,
especially during the motor start. Class A leakage detection protections would switch off the machine.
Therefore it is not recommended to use class A detection systems on frequency converters.
Installation instructions for TN, TT, IT
In each network system (TN, TT or IT), the customer has to protect the installation using overcurrent protection
by means of fuses or automatic circuit breaker protection.
With respect to the power distribution system, additional installation instructions are given.
Network type TN (TN-S, TN-C and TN-C-S)
No additional protections need to be installed. If the customer wishes to or needs to install a leakage detection
device, it should be of type B and should comply with IEC755 Amendment 2 "General requirements for
residual current-operated protective devices". Atlas Copco advises customers to install the following earth
leakage detection device: BENDER RCMA 470LY with external current transformer: http://www.bender.org/
prod.html
Network type TT
In the case of TT-systems, safety regulations mostly stipulate the use of an earth leakage circuit breaker
(e.l.c.b). In combination with frequency converters, type B residual current-operated protective devices should
be used. Atlas Copco advises customers to install the following earth leakage detection device: BENDER
RCMA 470LY with external current transformer: http://www.bender.org/prod.html
Network type IT
In IT-network systems, it is permissible for the power supply to continue in the event of an initial earth leakage
fault of a motor phase. However, the customer must detect the initial earth leakage fault. The fault must be
indicated as an alarm. If this is not the case, the initial earth leakage fault must trigger automatic disconnection
of the power supply (EN 60204-1 par.: 6.3). However, the high frequency capacitive leakage currents caused
by frequency converters cannot be detected by standard earth leakage detection systems. Atlas Copco
recommends that customers install: BENDER IRDH 275/435 http://www.bender.org/prod.html.
Atlas Copco strongly recommends that customers do not connect the neutral conductor from the power supply
to the compressor unit. The exposed conductive parts of the installation must be earthed locally. (EN 60204-1
par.: 7.2.3)
Power distribution systems (TN, TT, IT)
According to IEC 60950, there are three main types of power distribution systems: TN, TT and IT. The
electrical installation instructions depend on the type of network of the customer's power supply.
Network type TN (Terra Neutral) :
The TN power distribution system provides a direct earth to the exposed conductive parts of the installation.
The connection is made through the PEN-conductor. Within the TN power distribution system, there are three
sub-types: TN-S, TN-C and TN-C-S, identified according to neutral and protective earth conductors. Nearly
85 % to 90 % of industrial networks are TN type.
Network type TN-S (Terra Neutral-Separate) :
The TN-S power distribution system provides separate neutral and direct earth conductors.

Network type TN-C (Terra Neutral-Combined) :

conductor.

Network type TN-C-S (Terra Neutral-Combined-Separate) :
In the TN-C-S power distribution system, the neutral and the protective earth functions are combined to some
degree in a single conductor, a direct earth to the exposed conductive parts of the installation exists in part.
The connection is achieved through the PEN conductor.

Network type TT (Terra Terra) :
The TT power distribution system has one point that is directly earthed. In addition, the exposed conductive
parts of the installation are connected to earth electrodes that are independent from the power system's earth.
A
Power system earth
B
Exposed conductive parts
Network type IT (Impedance Terra) :
The IT power distribution system has no direct connection to Protective Earth (PE). It is earthed via a high
ohmic impedance, so that the network is effectively behaving like an unearthed floating network. The exposed
conductive parts of the installation are directly connected to earth. In the event of an initial earth leakage fault
of a motor phase, the power supply continues. However, the customer must detect the initial earth leakage
fault. The fault must be indicated as an alarm.

4.10 Cooling water requirements
Recommendations
The cooling water quality must meet certain minimum requirements.
No general recommendation can encompass the effects of all combinations of the various compounds, solids
and gases typically found in cooling water in interaction with different materials.
Only non-treated water must be used.
This recommendation is a general guide line for acceptable coolant quality.
Type of system
First, it is important to consider whether you are dealing with a closed system or an open system. In a closed
system, the same cooling water circulates through a system without contact with air.
An open system is a pass-through system, or a circulating system with a cooling tower. In the latter case, the
composition of the water that enters the cooler must be considered, and not the composition of the make-up
water. Due to the evaporative effect in the cooling tower, much higher concentrations of ions can be obtained
in the circulating water than in the make-up water.
Ryznar stability index (RSI)
The Ryznar Stability Index (RSI) is a parameter for predicting whether water will tend to dissolve or precipitate
calcium carbonate. The adhesion of scaling deposits and their effect are different on different materials, but
the equilibrium of the water (scaling or corrosive) is only determined by its actual pH value and by the
saturation pH value (pHs).
The saturation pH value is determined by the relationship between the calcium hardness, the total alkalinity,
the total solids concentration and the temperature.
The Ryznar Index is calculated as follows :
RSI = 2*pHs - pH
Symbol
Explanation
pH
Measured pH (at room temperature) of water sample

The pHs is calculated by using :

Water should not be used.
The table indicates that distilled or demineralised water should never be used, as their RSI is > 11.
The RSI only indicates the equilibrium of scaling - descaling. A cooling water showing good RSI conditions
can still be unsuitable due to other factors.
From the table above, the RSI index should be between 5.6 and 7.5; otherwise, contact a specialist.
pH
The effect of pH is already calculated in the Ryznar index, but the pH itself has some additional limitations :
6.8 < pH
Total dissolved solids (TDS)
This is the sum of all the ions in the water. It can be derived from the dry residue after evaporation (but not
including suspended solids), or it can be estimated from the electrical conductivity.
In a closed system, the following limits apply : TDS < 3000 mg/l (< 3800 microS/cm)
For an open system, the following limits apply : TDS < 450 mg/l ( < 580 microS/cm)
Chlorides (Cl-)
Chloride ions will create pitting corrosion on stainless steel. Their concentration should be limited:
Closed cooling system : chlorides < 500 ppm
Open cooling system : chlorides < 150 ppm
However, if the water is scaling, lower limits should be used. (See The Ryznar stability index (RSI)).
Free chlorine (Cl2)
A level of 0.5 ppm should not be exceeded for long periods.
For shock treatments, a maximum limit of 2 ppm for maximum 30 minutes/day applies.
Sulphates (SO4--)
Closed cooling system : sulphates < 400 ppm
Open cooling system : sulphates < 150 ppm
Carbonate hardness
Closed cooling system : 50-1000 ppm CaCO3

Initial start-up
Warning
The operator must apply all relevant Safety precautions.
Switch off the voltage before making any adjustment.
Outdoor/altitude operation
If the compressor is installed outdoors or if the air inlet temperature can be below freezing point, precautions
must be taken. In this case, and also if operating at high altitude, consult Atlas Copco.
Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Make sure that the forks protrude
from the other side of the frame. The compressor can also be lifted after inserting beams in the slots. Make
sure that the beams cannot slide and that they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be held parallel
to the bodywork by chain spreaders in order not to damage the compressor. The lifting equipment must be
placed in such a way that the compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.

Maintenance
When maintaining the filter, keep in mind the following:
• On filters with manual drain valve, open the latter at regular intervals to evacuate collected dust or liquid
• Change the filter element yearly or when the pressure drop reaches approx. 0.35 bar
• In case an automatic drain valve is installed, manual draining can be carried out by turning the connection
nipple of the automatic drain valve counterclockwise.
•
When the filter has to process air with a temperature higher than the specified maximum
temperature, the filter's lifetime will be reduced considerably!

Condensate drain system
Description
The condensate enters the Electronic Water Drain (EWD) via inlet (1) and accumulates in the water separator
of the heat exchanger and in collector (2). A capacitive sensor (3) continuously measures the liquid level. As
soon as the collector is filled up to a certain level, a drain delay timer is started. As soon as the delay time has
expired, pilot valve (4) is activated and diaphragm (5) opens outlet (6), discharging the condensate.
When the collector has been emptied, the outlet closes quickly without wasting compressed air.
When the controller registers a malfunction, the red alarm LED starts flashing, a warning appears on the
display of the regulator and the electronic drain valve will automatically change to the alarm mode, opening
and closing the valve according to a sequence as shown below. This condition continues until the fault is
remedied. If the fault is not remedied automatically, maintenance is required.

Safety precautions
When handling refrigerant R404a, all applicable safety precautions must be observed. The following
points are stressed:
• Contact of refrigerant with the skin will cause freezing. Special gloves must be worn and, if there is contact
with the skin, the skin should be rinsed with water. On no account may clothing be removed.
• Fluid refrigerant will also cause freezing of the eyes; therefore, safety glasses must be worn.
• Refrigerant R404a is poisonous. Do not inhale refrigerant vapours. Check that the working area is
adequately ventilated.
Local legislation
Local legislation may impose that:
• Work on the refrigerant circuit of the cooling dryer or on any equipment which influences its function
must be carried out by an authorised control body.
• The installation should be checked once a year by an authorised control body.

•
•
Starting from the main screen, press the "Menu" key.
Press the arrow down key (1) until "Test" is followed by a horizontal arrow.
Activate the menu by pressing the tabulator key (2).
Press the arrow down key (1) until the option "Cleanliness" is followed by a horizontal arrow.
Activate the menu by pressing the tabulator key (2).
Measure the pressure drop by the water column in mmWG. The condition of the cooler cleanliness can be
analyzed by comparing this value with the value in the table below depending on the compressor model.
Substract 3 mm WG from the values in the table when ducting is installed.
The values are given at maximum fan speed as activated by the cleanliness test. Mild clogging means that
25% of the section is blocked. Heavy clogging means that 50% of the section is blocked. The values should
only be used as guideline. Depending on the local (ambient) conditions the limits can be different. Readings
on the compressor should be observed on a regular basis to avoid high temperatures. Regular cleaning is
anyhow advised since clean coolers will reduce fan speed and thus power consumption.

What sets Atlas Copco apart as a company is our conviction that
we can only excel in what we do if we provide the best possible
know-how and technology to really help our customers produce,
grow and succeed.
There is a unique way of achieving that - we simply call it the Atlas
Copco way. It builds on interaction, on long-term relationships
and involvement in the customers’ process, needs and objectives.
It means having the flexibility to adapt to the diverse demands of
the people we cater for.
It’s the commitment to our customers’ business that drives our
effort towards increasing their productivity through better
solutions. It starts with fully supporting existing products and
continuously doing things better, but it goes much further, creating
advances in technology through innovation. Not for the sake of
technology, but for the sake of our customer’s bottom line and
peace-of-mind.
No. 2920 1728 05 / 2011 - 07
That is how Atlas Copco will strive to remain the first choice, to
succeed in attracting new business and to maintain our position
as the industry leader.
