AIR COMPRESSOR MAINTENANCE

„ Routine Maintenance Figure 1: Coolant Drain

This section refers to the various components which require periodic

maintenance and replacement.
Refer to safety information and maintenance procedures prior to carrying out
any of the maintenance in the following sections.

„ Checking Coolant Level

The coolant level should be checked daily. A coolant level sight glass is
located on the side of the separator tank. While the compressor is running
under load, coolant should always be visible in the sight glass. The normal
position is half way. The compressor should be running for at least 40 seconds
for this check.
Stop the compressor, ensure the sump pressure is 0 psig and ensure the
coolant is still visible in the sight glass.

„ Adding Coolant
Run the compressor for a minimum of 40 seconds. The coolant level should
be visible in the sight glass. If not:
1. Stop the compressor.
2. Isolate the compressor from the external air system.
3. Press the emergency stop to vent the separator tank and airend.

months to monitor its condition and determine when to change the coolant.
5. Add coolant. If analysis is not performed, the recommended coolant change interval is
4000 hours or two years, whichever comes first.
6. Replace the coolant fill plug and restart the compressor.
7. Recheck the coolant level. NOTICE

2. Open the drain valve to start drainage.
3. After drainage, remove the hose and close the valve.

NOTICE

On air cooled compressors, you may also drain coolant from the
coolant cooler by removing the plug.
You should also drain additional coolant from the airend by removing
the plug in the airend discharge elbow.
