AS3700 Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter II Compressor Structure
2.1 Overview
Presented to you is a stationary screw compressor for power purpose. It has single stage compressing
unit, oil inject, air cooler and driving motor. The machine comprises the air end, motor, oil/air separator, oil
cooler, aftercooler, cooling fan assembly, chassis assembly, etc. enclosed in a soundproof cover. An electric
control cabinet is equipped on one side of the soundproof cover. The machine is compact, elegant and easy
to operate.
Main specifications of the machine are listed in the table below.
Main specifications of AS3700 compressor
See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for the layout and system flowchart of AS3700.
A pair of delicately machined rotors engages each other inside compressor's body. The male rotor has
four teeth, while the female rotor has six teeth. Motor drives the male rotor through an elastomer coupling
and the male rotor drives the female one at high speed. As the space between teeth is getting smaller, air
from air filter is compressed and pressure increased. When the teeth chamber reaches discharge port of
compressor, compressed air is pushed into oil/air separator through discharge port for separation. Separated
air then flows through min pressure valve, aftercooler and drain valve until it is utilized by user. Separated
fluid is settled to the bottom of oil/air separator. Once cooled, it is recycled to air end working chamber
under pressure difference.

AS3700 Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter V Maintenance and Service
5.1 Overview
Besides daily maintenance and inspections every 1000 hours, maintenance works are grouped according
to time interval (operation hours). The microprocessor controller has a programmable service timer. Once the
setting in the service timer has been reached, LCD status column of the controller will give corresponding
minor fault alarm message in rotation, reminding user of service. Reset the service timer after service
operation. See 88290021-984 EC2000 Controller Operation Manual for detail. Normal operation of the
machine relies on good maintenance and service.
Warning
Do not carry out maintenance or service work when the power supply has not been cut off.
Do not disassemble any part when the compressor is running or pressurized. Shut down the
machine, bleed internal pressure to zero and cut off external pressure before disassembling.
Sullair genuine parts must be used when servicing Sullair compressor in accordance with the
requirements in Operation Manual. Otherwise, warranty may void.

Figure 9 Coupling
Installation of coupling:
(1) Mount the motor end sleeve and air end sleeve on motor spindle and air end shaft, respectively. Air
end disc end shall contact the shoulder of air end shaft. Slide the elastomer into the disc for coupling
installation.
18
AS3700 Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter IV Compressor Operation
(2) Coupling shall be mounted such that the gap between the end surfaces of the two discs is 2 to
3mm.
(3) Tighten the set screw on the discs.
2) Velveteen or extremely dirty environment. Accumulated dust may impede normal ventilation.
3) Chemical smoke, steam, salt mist or oil mist.
4) Humid or extremely dry, radiation heat, bug hazard or mildew cultivating atmosphere, or running
under one of the following conditions:
1) Variation to voltage and/or frequency ratings regulated in Sullair Compressor Specific Motor
Operation section is constantly out of limit.
2) Poor room ventilation or ambient temperature exceeds 40℃.
3) Motor is started frequently due to air demand fluctuation.
Checklist:
1) Discharge, clean and refill fluid (grease) to bearing. If bearing is already found abnormal, then
check the bearing. See motor nameplate for fluid (grease) type.
2) Take procedures to deal with leaked oil at bearing sealing position.
3) Check end cap and top cover for condensation or accumulated water, rust or erosion. Remove end
cap and top cover if necessary.
4) Note if there is dust or other external objects accumulation.
5) Check all non-insulated electric connections for loose, over heat, arcing or erosion. Make correction
if necessary.
6) Check all bolts and nuts and make sure they are securely fastened.
7) Check all leads and see there is over heat or corona.
5. Inspect and clean the winding
Based on the type and amount of dust accumulated on winding, the following methods are listed for
reference. (If too much dust is accumulated on winding, or the winding needs to be checked and cleaned
thoroughly, the rotor must be removed from the stator.)
1) Wipe with dry rag
If the surface is easily accessible and there is dust only, then use a clean and dry down less rag to wipe
will do the work. Do not use "cotton waste" because fluff will stick to insulation and cause more dust
accumulation. Fluff is also damaging insulation of high-voltage motor due to the tendency of corona shock.
2) Brush and vacuum clean
Brush off dry dust with a short and hard brush and then use vacuum (do not use metal brush). This is
favorable because dust will not scatter onto other equipment.
3) Blow
Blow the dust off with dry compressed air only in inaccessible gap while the motor is not humid. Blow
direction shall not cause the dust being brought to deep inside of the motor, which is hard to clean and may
block air way.
Caution: Pressure of compressed air shall be no more than 0.2MPa to avoid damaging insulation. Do not
blow dust when insulation is loose. Make sure air is dry and contains no condensed water from air pipeline.
4) Solvent clean
Solvent clean is especially effective for the pitch, grease, wax and oil on electric devices. Wipe with a
rag containing solvent. Then wipe with a dry rag. (Do not use "cotton waste" because fluff will stick to
insulation.)
Sullair suggests inorganic volatile solvent or petroleum solvent. In a fire protection area, use fire
retarding methyl-chloroform, because this solvent will burn under normal conditions and is mildly toxic.
Local ventilation is required when the odor of solvent vapor is strong.

7.1 Overview
Compressor's fault may be caused by multiple reasons. Therefore a systematic analysis on all causes
of the fault should be carried out before service or parts replacement. Do not disassemble the machine
without purpose. To avoid damage, visual check is necessary. Keep the following in mind:
a. Check if cable leads are loose or disconnected;
b. Check if pipeline is damaged;
c. Check if there is part damaged by over heat or short circuit. Normally phenomena are color
changing or scorch odor.
