manufacturer.

Precautions during installation

1. The machine must only be lifted using suitable equipment in accordance with the applicable
safety regulations. Loose or pivoting parts must be securely fastened before lifting. It is
strictly forbidden to 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. The unit is designed for indoor use. If the unit is installed outdoors, special precautions must
be taken; consult your supplier.
3. In case the device is a compressor, 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.
4. Any blanking flanges, plugs, caps and desiccant bags must be removed before connecting
the pipes.
5. 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.
6. In case the device is a compressor, the aspirated air must be free of flammable fumes,
vapors and particles, e.g. paint solvents, that can lead to internal fire or explosion.
7. In case the device is a compressor, arrange the air intake so that loose clothing worn by
people cannot be drawn in.
8. 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.
9. No external force may be exerted on the air outlet valve; the connected pipe must be free of
strain.
10. 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 depressurized and that the
electrical isolating switch is open, locked and labelled with a temporary warning before any
maintenance or repair. As a further safeguard, persons switching on or off 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.
11. 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.

6 9829 3178 62
Instruction book

12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. 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.
16. Piping or other parts with a temperature in excess of 70˚C (158˚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.
17. 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.
18. If the ground is not level or can be subject to variable inclination, consult the manufacturer.
19. If the device is a dryer and no free extinguishing system is present in the air net close to the
dryer, safety valves must be installed in the vessels of the dryer.

Also consult following safety precautions: Safety precautions during operation and

5. A warning sign bearing a legend such as "Work in progress; do not start" shall be attached
to the starting equipment.
6. 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 remote start equipment.
7. Close the compressor air outlet valve and depressurize the compressor before connecting
or disconnecting a pipe.
8. Before removing any pressurized component, effectively isolate the machine from all
sources of pressure and relieve the entire system of pressure.
9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety
precautions against toxic vapors of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by
covering the parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
11. 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.
12. 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
vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure
vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. 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.
16. 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.
17. 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.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture
from entering them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. 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.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate
bowls.
21. Only if applicable, the following safety precautions are stressed when handling
refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapors. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if
required, use breathing protection.
• 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.

Reference Description
6 Cooling water circuit

Position of components

Air flow
Air comes in through filter (AF) and unloader (UA) and is compressed in the compressor element
(E).
A mixture of compressed air and oil flows into the air receiver/oil separator (AR), where oil and air
are separated.
The air flows through the minimum pressure valve (Vp), the air cooler (Ca) and the condensate
trap to the air outlet.
Minimum pressure valve (Vp) prevents the receiver pressure from dropping below a minimum
pressure and includes a check valve which prevents blow-back of compressed air from the net.
Full-Feature compressors have a dryer after the air cooler.

Oil circuit
The air receiver (AR) removes most of the oil from the air/oil mixture by centrifugal action. The oil
collects in the lower part of the air receiver (AR) which serves as oil tank.
The oil separator removes the remaining oil.

9829 3178 62 15
 Instruction book

The oil circuit has a thermostatic bypass valve that prevents that the oil flows through the oil
cooler (Co) when the oil temperature is low.
Air pressure forces the oil from air receiver (AR) through the oil filter (OF).
The filtered oil flows through the cooling channels of the drive motor to the compressor element
(E) and the lubrication points.
The oil circuit has an extra thermostatic bypass valve that will send extra oil to the compressor
element when the oil temperature is getting too high.

2.3 Cooling and condensate system

Condensate drain system

Condensate drains, Pack version

Condensate drains, Full-Feature version

Reference Designation
Dac Automatic condensate drain outlet
Dmc Manual condensate drain outlet

16 9829 3178 62
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 level sensor and solenoid valve for automatically
draining condensate and with a manual drain valve.
This condensate can contain small amounts of oil and should be processed according to local
environmental legislation.
On Full-Feature units, the condensate formed in the dryer collects in the lower part of the heat
exchanger/evaporator. When the condensate in the electronic drain reaches a certain level, it is
drained via the automatic drain outlet (Dac)

Cooling system
On air-cooled compressors, the air and oil coolers are cooled by dual-speed fans.
Water-cooled compressors are provided with a cooling water system, including oil and air
coolers.

2.4 Regulating system

Elektronikon
The compressor is controlled by the Elektronikon® regulator.
The regulator keeps the net pressure within programmable pressure limits by automatically
loading and unloading the compressor depending on the air consumption.

Unloader
The unloader is mounted on the compressor stage inlet and connected to the air filter outlet.
During the regulation of the compressor pressure, the unloader can appear in 4 modes:
1. Unload
2. Pre-load
3. Load
4. Delayed unload

9829 3178 62 17
 Instruction book

Unload mode

The compressor starts in unload mode:

1. Load/Unload valve (Y1) is not powered (Y1 closed resulting in blow-off valve open).
2. The unloader closes.
3. A calibrated by-pass allows compression up to unload pressure level to guarantee the oil
injection pressure. Air is recirculated in the compressor to avoid constant pressure rise.
4. The Blow-By valve (Y11) is not powered (closed).

Pre-Load mode

The compressor starts in unload mode:

1. Load/Unload valve (Y1) is not powered (Y1 closed resulting in blow-off valve open).
2. The unloader is closed.
3. The Blow-By valve (Y11) is powered (open).
a. Extra air is sucked in
b. Vessel pressure goes up gradually
4. When the vessel pressure reaches +/- 2.5 bar, the unit will go to load mode.

18 9829 3178 62
Instruction book

Load mode

1. Load/Unload valve (Y1) is powered (Y1 opened resulting in blow-off valve closed).
2. The unloader opens and allows further pressure rise above 2.5 bar (36.3 psi).
3. The Blow-By valve (Y11) is not powered (closed).
When the air demand drops and the pressure reaches the unload level, the compressor switches
to unload mode, the oil separator pressure is expanded through blow-off hole (BO) and the above
sequence repeats.

Delayed unload mode

1. Load/Unload valve (Y1) is not powered (Y1 closed resulting in blow-off valve open).
2. The unloader closes.
3. The Blow-By valve (Y11) is powered (open).
a. Extra air is sucked in.
b. Vessel pressure is gradually decreasing.
4. When the vessel pressure reaches 6.5 bar (94.3 psi), the unit will go into unload mode.

Compressor stop mode

Both the pre-load hole between the compressor stage inlet and blow-by valve (Y11) and the load
activation (LA) hole are equipped with a ball check valve. At compressor stop (with the load/
unload valve (Y1) not powered (open) and the blow-by valve (Y11) not powered (closed)), these
two ball check valves, together with the closed unloader valve, ensure there is no backflow of air
from the compressor stage inlet to the unloader inlet.

2.5 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

Energy recovery system for water-cooled compressors

Flow diagram

The recovery water enters the unit at the heat exchanger inlet connection. 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.

Installation
The compressor frame is prepared for the Energy Recovery system. Before mounting the
installation, the two laser prepared holes in the canopy must be cut out.

Operation
The compressor oil flow is controlled by two thermostatic valves (Y151 and Y152). Y152 controls
the oil flow over the energy recovery cooler and Y151 controls the oil flow through the oil cooler
and thus the element outlet temperature. Ex factory the thermostat setting of Y151 is chosen in a
way that the element outlet temperature is 90 °C (194 °F) +/- 5 °C (9 °F).
Recoverable Energy
The graphs of the Principal data section below represent the performance for each power variant
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 (185 °F) 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
Selection of the thermostatic valve
To avoid condensate in the oil circuit, it is very important that the element outlet temperature
always exceeds the condensation temperature. In worst case conditions (e.g. air inlet of 46 °C
(115 °F) and relative humidity (R.H.) of 50 %), tc (compressor outlet stage temperature) should
be above 85 °C (185 °F) for units with working pressures up to 10 bar (150 psi). This means that:
to prevent condensation in these worst case conditions, the curves with tc= 85 °C (185 °F) are

9829 3178 62 23
 Instruction book

the lower limit of the energy recovery (for compressors with working pressure up to 10 bar (150
psi)).
If the air inlet temperature and R.H. are known, tc can be lower than the limits above and can be
calculated from the curves below. The compressor stage outlet temperature should exceed this
value by adapting the thermostatic valve Y151 in the thermostatic valve housing of the oil cooling
system of the standard compressor. To obtain a higher element outlet temperature (with a high
energy recovery water flow and/or low energy recovery water inlet temperature) (to get a higher
water outlet temperature), a thermostatic valve with an indicated temperature higher than the
standard factory mounted has to be mounted in the thermostatic valve housing of the oil cooling
system of the standard compressor. A list of standard thermostat settings for Y151 can be found
below.
The cooling water circuit of the energy recovery is by default protected against steam generation
by a compressor shut down at cooling water temperatures of the energy recovery of 95 °C (203
°F). When the thermostat valve selection is done for a compressor stage outlet temperature
running above 95 °C (203 °F), the compressor might trip at this limit value. This could happen
whenever the heat dissipation in the customer's installation stops (e.g. when the pump in the
customer's installation stops) or the heat dissipation is lower than the heat recovered from the
compressor. This results in a gradual temperature increase on the energy recovery cooling
medium system until the shut-down value has been reached. In this case following measures can
be taken to prevent an unwanted shut down:
• Manually switch off energy recovery by use of the hand wheel.
• Ask an Atlas Copco technician to increase the shut down value of the cooling water
temperature of the energy recovery in the Elektronikon controller. It is advised to choose a
temperature higher than the selected compressor element outlet temperature but at least 5
°C (9 °F) below the boiling point of the applied cooling medium and never higher than 120
°C (248 °F).

The thermostatic valve of the energy recovery (Y152) always needs to have an
indicated temperature equal to or higher than that of the thermostatic valve in the
thermostatic valve housing of the oil cooling system of the standard compressor.

Text on figure

(1) Water outlet temperature (°C)

(2) Water inlet temperature (°C)

Example point X
High temperature rise, low water flow application, e.g. pre-heating of boiler feed water in open
circuit:
• Compressor unit: GA 160 - 50 Hz
• Working pressure: 8 bar / 116 psi
• Water flow: 0.6 l/s / 1.27 cfm
• Water inlet temperature: 31 °C / 88 °F
• Water outlet temperature: 85 °C / 185 °F
The formula to calculate the amount of recovered energy results in (2):
• 4.2 x 0.6 x (85 - 31) = 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 = 31 + (136 / (4.2 x 0.6)) = 85 °C (185 °F)
Total pressure drop on waterside is (1):
• pd = (4.23 x 0.6²) + (1.62 x 0.6) = 2.5 kPa = 25 mbar (0.36 psi)
Example point Y
Low temperature rise, high water flow application, e.g. central heating in closed circuit:
• Compressor unit: GA 160 - 50 Hz
• Working pressure: 8 bar / 116 psi
• Water flow: 4 l/s / 0.87 cfm
• Water inlet temperature: 47.5 °C / 117.5 °F

26 9829 3178 62
Instruction book

• Water outlet temperature: 55.9 °C / 132.6 °F

The formula to calculate the amount of recovered energy results in (2):
• 4.2 x 4 x (55.9-47.5) = 141 kW ( ± as indicated on the curve of 85 °C)
The outlet temperatures for a water flow of 4 l/s can be calculated backwards from formula (2):
• Toutlet = 47.5 + (141 / (4.2 x 4)) = 55.9 °C (132.6 °F)
Total pressure drop on waterside is (1):
• pd = (4.23 x 4²) + (1.62 x 4) = 74 kPa = 0.74 bar (10.73 psi)
Example point Z
• Compressor unit: GA 160 -50 Hz
• Working pressure: 8 bar / 116 psi
• Water flow: 1 l/s / 2.12 cfm
• Water inlet temperature: 55 °C / 131 °F
• Water outlet temperature: 82.0 °C / 179.6 °F
The formula to calculate the amount of recovered energy results in (2):
• 4.2 x 1 x (82-55) = 113.4 kW
The outlet temperatures for a water flow of 1 l/s can be calculated backwards from formula (2):
• Toutlet = 55 + (113.4 / (4.2 x 1)) = 82 °C (179.6 °F)
Total pressure drop on waterside is (1):
• pd = (4.23 x 1²) + (1.62 x 1) = 5.85 kPa = 58.5 mbar (0.85 psi)
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 (212 °F) 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.
• Compressor unit: GA 160
• 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 140.5 kW 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.

3 Elektronikon™ Touch controller

3.1 Controller

The Touch controller

Introduction
The controller has following functions:
• Controlling the unit
• Protecting the unit
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

Automatic control of the unit

The controller maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading
and unloading the unit (fixed speed units) or by adapting the motor speed (units with frequency
converter).
A number of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading pressures (for fixed speed
units), the setpoint (for units with frequency converter), the minimum stop time, the maximum
number of motor starts and several other parameters are taken into account.
The controller stops the unit whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the net pressure decreases. If the expected unloading period is too short, the
unit is kept running to prevent too short standstill periods.

A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into
account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the unit.

9829 3178 62 29
 Instruction book

Protecting the unit

Shutdown
Several sensors are provided on the unit. If one of the measured signals exceeds the
programmed shutdown level, the unit will be stopped.
Example: If the element outlet temperature exceeds the programmed shutdown level, the unit will
be stopped. This will be indicated on the display of the controller.
The unit will also be stopped in case of overload of the drive motor or fan motor.

Before remedying, consult the Safety precautions.

Before resetting a warning or shutdown message, always solve the problem. Frequently
resetting these messages without remedying may damage the unit.

Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning level is a programmable level below the shutdown level.
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shutdown warning level, a message will
appear on the display and the general alarm LED will light up to warn the operator before the
shutdown level is reached.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears.

Service warning
A number of service operations are grouped as a Service Plan. Each Service Plan has a
programmed time interval. If the service timer exceeds a programmed value, this will be indicated
on the display to warn the operator to carry out the service actions belonging to that Service Plan.

Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

The controller has a built-in function to automatically restart the unit when the voltage is restored
after voltage failure. For units leaving the factory, this function is made inactive. If desired, the
function can be activated. Consult your supplier.

If the function is activated and provided the regulator was in the automatic operation
mode, the unit will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored.
The ARAVF label (see section Pictographs) shall be glued near to the controller.

To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components
from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when
connecting the supply cable to the compressor.

Warnings
• Obey local regulations if they are stricter than the regulations mentioned in this
document.
• Obey the applicable electrical directives when installing and connecting the
compressor to the power circuit:
• IEC 60204-1
• IEC 60364-5-52
• CSA/UL
• UL: UL508A
• CSA: C22.2
• The voltage on the compressor terminals must not deviate more than 10% of the
nominal voltage. It is however highly recommended to keep the voltage drop over
the supply cables at nominal current below 5% of the nominal voltage (IEC
60204-1).
• Use the original cable entry.
• Full load (compressor) package currents are calculated and available on Technical
data sheet. For cable section selection purposes, we suggest to add 10% to
compensate for any under-voltages that might occur in the installation.
• Use copper wires only.
• Caution
• Always double-check the fuse size versus the calculated cable size. If
required, reduce the fuse size or enlarge the cable size.
• Cable length should not exceed the maximum length according to IEC 60204
(table.10).
• Display the fuse type information next to the fuse holder of the mains branch.
• Connect the power cable with the correct cable lugs on the terminals in the
electrical cabinet.
• Do not connect more than one (1) cable lug at one side of a contactor terminal or
copper bar, unless specified otherwise.
• Respect a minimum of 10 mm IEC (1/2” CSA/UL branch circuit) between stripped
cable ends for low voltage installations.
• Fuses are maximum allowed values to protect installed compressor electrical
panel.
• Apply the listed cable sections on main supply cables AND earth cable.
• Do not exceed the ambient temperature listed in the Limits section to avoid cable
damage.
• Mount all cables on a horizontally ventilated cable tray.
• Do not stack or group cables as this avoids heat dissipation.
• Connect the power cable with the correct (CSA certified) cable lugs on the
terminals in the electrical cabinet.
• Respect a minimum distance of 10 mm (0.4") between stripped cable ends.
• Use only the prescribed cable types:
• IEC: XLPE 90 °C (194 °F)
• CSA-UL: (R, RW, T) multicore 110 °C (230 °F)
• Display the fuse type information next to the fuse holder of the mains branch.

Cable calculation method for IEC

• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE):
• Add 10 % to the total package current (Package current from the technical data
sheets).
• Install fuses on each supply cable which are smaller than or equal to the Max. fuse
values from the technical data sheets or the instruction manual.
• Connection between contactors must be made by means of copper bars.
• Parallel supply cables and phase supply cables (2 x (3 phases + PE)):
• Add 10 % to the total package current (Package current from the technical data sheets)
and divide by √3.
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with the reduction factors per table B.52.17 of IEC
60364-5-52 (Method E or F), (typically 0.8).
• Install fuses on each supply cable which are smaller than or equal to the Max. fuse
values from the technical data sheets or the instruction manual.
• Parallel phase supply cables (4 x (3 phases + PE)):
• Add 10 % to the total package current (Package current from the technical data sheets)
and divide by √3 and then by 2.
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with the reduction factors per table B.52.17 of IEC
60364-5-52 (Method E or F), (typically 0.8).
• Install fuses which are smaller than or equal to the Max. fuse values of the technical
data sheets or the instruction manual.
• Size of the PE cable:
• For supply cables up to 16 mm²: same size as supply cables.

68 9829 3178 62
Instruction book

• For supply cables between 16 mm² and 35 mm²: 16 mm².

• For supply cables larger than 35 mm²: half the size of the supply wires.
Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5 % of the nominal voltage is
recommended).

Example of supply cable calculation

Itot = 407 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 500 A.
• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE):
• I = 407 A + 10 % = 407 x 1.1 = 447.7 A
The table for method E (multi-core cable), 90 °C cable temperature and ambient
temperature of 45 °C allows a maximum current of 468 A for a 240 mm² cable. So use a
multi-core cable of 3 x 240 mm² + 120 mm².
• Parallel supply cable and phase supply cable 2 x (3 phases + PE):
• I = (407 A + 10 %)/√3 = (407 x 1.1)/√3 = 259 A
For a single-core cable of 120 mm², method F, 90 °C cable temperature and ambient
temperature of 45°C, the maximum current is 333 A x 0.8 = 266 A. So two (2) parallel
(single-core) cables of 3 x 120 mm² + 70 mm² are sufficient.
For a multi-core cable of 120 mm², method E, 90 °C cable temperature and ambient
temperature of 45°C, the maximum current is 301 A x 0.8 = 240 A. This 120 mm² cable
would be too small, so you need to install a cable with a bigger section.
Looking at a multi-core cable of 150 mm², method E, 90 °C cable temperature and ambient
temperature of 45°C, the maximum current is 347 A x 0.8 = 277 A. The right selection in this
case would then be two (2) parallel cables of 3 x 150 mm² + 95 mm³.
• Parallel phase supply cable 4 x (3 phases + PE):
• I = (407 A + 10 %)/(√3 x 2) = (407 x 1.1)/(√3 x 2) = 130 A
For a single-core cable of 50 mm², method F, 90 °C cable temperature and ambient
temperature of 45°C, the maximum current is 180 A x 0.8 = 144 A. So two (4) parallel
(single-core) cables of 3 x 50 mm² + 25 mm² are sufficient.
For a multi-core cable of 50 mm², method E, 90 °C cable temperature and ambient
temperature of 45°C, the maximum current is 167 A x 0.8 = 133 A. So two (4) parallel (multi-
core) cables of 3 x 50 mm² + 25 mm² are sufficient.

Instruction book

Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5 % of the nominal voltage is
recommended).

Example of supply cable calculation

IPackage = 128 A, maximum ambient temperature is 30 °C, maximum fuse = 200 A
• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE):
• I = 128 A + 25 % = 128 x 1.25 = 160 A
• For AWG2/0, the maximum current is 175 A, which is sufficient => use AWG2/0
• So use a cable of 3 x AWG2/0 + AWG4
• Parallel supply cable and phase supply cable 2 x (3 phases + PE):
• I = (128 A + 25 %)/√3 = (128 x 1.25)/√3 = 93 A
• For AWG3, the maximum current is 100 A, which is sufficient => use AWG3
• So use a cable of 2x (3 x AWG3 + AWG6)
• Parallel phase supply cable 4 x (3 phases + PE):
• I = (128 A + 25 %)/(√3 x 2) = (128 x 1.25)/(√3 x 2) = 47 A
• For AWG5, the maximum current is 50 A, which is sufficient => use AWG8
• So use a cable of 4x (3 x AWG8 + AWG8)

4.6 Cooling water requirements

General
Cooling water needs to fulfill requirements in order to avoid problems of scaling, fouling,
corrosion or bacterial growth. 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. Therefore the recommendations formulated in our cooling
water specifications are a general guide line for acceptable coolant quality. However, where strict
limits apply, a statement is made in the specification.
The water requirements refer to untreated water. When water is treated, some parameters will
change. Water treatments should be carried out by a specialized water treatment company,
taking the responsibility for the performance of the treated cooling water and the compatibility
with the materials in the cooling circuit. This includes not only the selection of the appropriate
additives, but also the correct application, monitoring of concentrations and properties, prevention
of sludge formation and maintenance of the system. This applies also to treatment with anti-
freeze products. They should be provided with suitable stabilizers and inhibitors.
Specifications also depend on the criteria mentioned below:
• the type of cooling circuit:
• open
• Single Pass

• recirculation with cooling tower

• closed loop

• Energy Recovery (water temperature up to 95°C / 203°F)

In case water is not in line with recommended values or if any doubt, please refer to Atlas Copco.

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

74 9829 3178 62
Instruction book

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 Stability Index is calculated as follows :
RSI = 2*pHs - pH

Symbol Explanation
pH Measured pH (at room temperature) of water sample
pHs pH at saturation

The pHs is calculated by using :

pHs = (9.3 + A + B) - (C + D)

5 Operating instructions

5.1 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.

7 Integrated dryer

7.1 Introduction

Description
The air dryer removes moisture from compressed air by cooling the air to near freezing point.
This causes water to condense. The condensate is automatically drained. The air is warmed up
before leaving the dryer (approx. 5 ˚C (9 ˚F) below the incoming air temperature).
The air dryer cools down the compressed air to the preset temperature. Any formed condensate
is automatically drained.
The electronic regulator keeps the pressure dew-point stable at no load by opening or closing the
solenoid valve of the hot-gas by-pass.
On air-cooled dryers, the condenser has a cooling fan controlled by a pressure sensor.
Water-cooled dryers have a water regulating valve in the water outlet of the condenser.
The descriptions mentioned in this book are valid for both air-cooled and water-cooled dryers.

Description air system

Compressed air enters heat exchanger (301a) and is cooled by the outgoing, cold, dried air.
Water in the incoming air starts to condense. The air then flows through heat exchanger/
evaporator (301b) where the refrigerant evaporates causing the air to be further cooled to close
to the evaporating temperature of the refrigerant. More water in the air condenses. The cold air
then flows through separator (111) where all the condensate is separated from the air.
The condensate collects in the electronic water drain (413) and is automatically drained. The
cold, dried air flows through heat exchanger (301a), where it is warmed up by the incoming air to
approx. 5 ˚C (9 ˚F) below the incoming air temperature.
Condensation in the air net cannot occur unless the air is cooled to below the pressure dew-point
indicated on the control panel.

Description refrigeration system

Refrigerant compressor (402) delivers hot, high-pressure refrigerant gas, which flows through
condenser (202), where most of the refrigerant condenses.
The liquid flows through refrigerant dryer/filter (405) to thermostatic expansion valve (407) via
sight-glass (406). The refrigerant leaves the thermostatic expansion valve at evaporating
pressure.
The refrigerant enters evaporator (301b), where it withdraws heat from the compressed air by
further evaporation at constant pressure. The heated refrigerant leaves the evaporator and is
sucked in by refrigerant compressor (402) via liquid separator (401).
The dryers are provided with a sight-glass (406). The sight-glass allows the refrigerant flow in the
line to be checked. During normal operation, the liquid flow must be clear. In general, vapor
bubbles indicate a shortage of refrigerant. Note that fluctuations in the load may cause bubbles to
pass in the flow for a short time. The centre of the glass is provided with a moisture indicator
which is green when the liquid refrigerant is free of moisture. It will turn yellow when the

9829 3178 62 103

refrigerant contains moisture, indicating that the refrigerant dryer/filter (405) needs to be
replaced.

Air and refrigerant flow diagram for water-cooled dryer

Description
The condenser pressure must be kept as constant as possible to obtain stable operation,
therefore:
• For air-cooled versions, the regulator stops and starts the cooling fans
• For water-cooled versions, the water regulating valve in the water outlet regulates the
cooling water flow

106 9829 3178 62

Instruction book

When at partial or no load the dew-point pressure stays below the set-point, the regulator opens
solenoid valve (411) and hot, high-pressure gas is fed through hot-gas by-pass valve (412) to the
evaporator circuit to prevent the evaporator temperature from dropping below 0 ˚C (32 ˚F).

9829 3178 62 107

 Instruction book

The condensate enters the electronic water drain via inlet (1) and accumulates in collector (6). A
capacitive sensor (5) continuously measures the liquid level.
The pilot valve (3) is activated as soon as the collector is filled up to a certain level. Diaphragm
(4) opens outlet (8), 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 on the control panel of the
electronic water drain 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.

Testing the Electronic water drain

Control panel

Briefly press the TEST button and check that the valve opens for condensate discharge.
Checking the alarm signal
• Press and hold the test button for at least 1 minute.
• Check that the alarm LED flashes.

108 9829 3178 62

Instruction book

• Check that a warning is generated on the display of the regulator.

• Release the test button.

7.5 Electrical system

Dryer protection
The high-pressure shut-down switch stops the compressor motor when the pressure in the
refrigerant circuit reaches the upper set-point of the switch.
After tripping:
• The switch must be reset manually by pressing its reset knob and by pressing the Cancel/
escape key on the controller.
The compressor motor has a built-in thermic protection. If the thermic protection trips, the
compressor motor will be stopped. The compressor will restart when the motor windings have
cooled down, which may take up to 3 hours.

7.6 Regulation

General description
The electronic regulator automatically controls the dryer, i.e.:
• keeps the pressure dew-point stable
• stops the dryer whenever necessary
• restarts the dryer when required
In general, the regulator has following functions:
• controlling the dryer
• protecting the dryer

Controlling the dryer

The regulator keeps the pressure dew-point stable at no load by opening or closing the solenoid
valve of the hot-gas by-pass.
In order to keep the condenser pressure constant:
• For air-cooled versions, the regulator starts and stops the fan motor(s) as necessary.
• For water-cooled versions, the water regulating valve regulates the cooling water flow.

Protecting the dryer

Shut-down
• In case the pressure in the refrigerant circuit is too high, the dryer will be stopped.
• For air-cooled versions, the dryer will also be stopped if there is an overload of a fan motor.
Warning
• A warning message appears if the electronic water drain is malfunctioning.

7.7 Maintenance instructions

Important

The dryers contain refrigerant HFC.

When the automatic operation LED is lit, starting and stopping of the dryer are controlled
automatically.
If the dryer start/stop timer is active, the dryer may start automatically, even if it was
stopped manually.

Safety precautions
When handling refrigerant R404A or R410A (refer to dryer data plate), 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.
• Refrigerants R404A and R410A are poisonous. Do not inhale refrigerant vapors. Check that
the working area is adequately ventilated.
When removing the side panels of the dryer, be aware that internal elements such as the pipes
can reach a temperature of 120 ˚C (248 ˚F). Therefore, wait until the dryer has cooled down
before removing the side panels.
Before starting any maintenance or repairs, switch off the voltage. Isolate the dryer from the air
net.

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 authorized control body.
• The installation should be checked once a year by an authorized control body.

10.6 Compressor data

For high ambient temperature versions operating above 46 °C (115 °F) a derating factor has
been applied. The derating factor lowers the maximum compressor element speed/input power
(at constant maximum pressure) to avoid overheating of the compressor element, oil circuit and
motor.
