3.2 Compressor Operation
HPA 340 - 1000 HERTZ Portable Screw Compressors are heavy duty type screw compressors with low
maintenance that has proven its quality and sturdiness throughout the years.

3.2.1 Definition of the System


Your compressor consists of control and start system, drive system, intake control system, discharge
system, cooling and lubrication systems.

3.2.2 Systems Operation


Diesel engine inside the compressor rotates the screw unit.

Screw unit pressurizes the intake air by taking the air via vacuum regulator and mixing it with oil and
sends the pressurized air to the separator tank that separates the oil in the air. At this time, the
pressure inside the separator tank (internal pressure) starts to increase.

Intake regulator's flap is completely opened when the internal pressure in the separator tank has
reached the required level or when the heating period is completed; and simultaneously throttle arm
of the diesel engine is pulled and thus your compressor is brought to load condition. As critical
components of your compressor such as engine, screw unit etc. are operated in idle until the
pressure in the separator tank reaches the required level, they are loaded abruptly, and it is ensured
that the systems are lubricated, so the service life of critical components are extended.

Separator element on the pressurized air-line separates the pressurized air - oil mixture.

Minimum pressure valve keeps the air inside the separator tank and does not send it to the system
for use until the pressure inside the separator tank reaches 4 bars.

When the internal pressure starts to exceed 4 bars, minimum pressure valve opens and starts to
send the pressurized air to your line from the outlets of the compressor.

Oil inside the separator tank is sent to the radiator or directly to the system according to the
temperature of the thermostatic valve with the effect of the internal pressure.

Thermostatic valve sends the oil to the oil filter if the oil temperature is lower than a specified value;
and filtered oil is sent to the oil inlet of the screw unit.

Thermostatic valve sends the oil to the oil cooling side of the radiator to ensure that it is cooled if the
oil temperature is higher than a specified value. Oil cooled in the cooling side of the radiator is sent
to the oil filter; and filtered oil is sent to the oil inlet of the screw unit. Cycle is continued in this way.

Thermostat inside the engine sends the coolant to circulation inside the engine or to the coolant
cooling side of the radiator with the help of the water pump as per the temperature of the coolant.
Coolant that is cooled in the coolant cooling side of the radiator and that has reached the normal
temperature value returns to engine.

17
Coolant overflow caused by thermal expansion is sent to the expansion tank, and then returned to
the radiators as its temperature shall be lowered. Here, coolant loss occurs; thus, coolant shall be
added periodically to the system.

Radiator consists of two parts that cools the compressor oil and the engine coolant.

Vacuum occurs with the operation of screw unit; the amount of air to be taken is regulated by the
vacuum regulator as per your requirements; and the air is brought to the screw unit. Air sucked from
the external environment is taken through the intake filter before reaching vacuum regulator in order
to filter the dust and particles in the air.

A little amount of oil leaks from the separator element during the operation of the compressor. This
leak is sent back to the system with the oil return line (scavenge).

There is a safety valve to ensure pressure safety on the separator tank. Safety valve releases the
pressure inside when the internal pressure exceeds the set value of the pressure valve. Your
compressor closes the vacuum regulator when pressurized air is no longer required, and
simultaneously switches the compressor to idle position by releasing the throttle arm of the
compressor; small amount of air produced at this time is discharged continuously from the nozzles in
order to stabilize the internal pressure of the separator tank.

Oil required for the pressure line of your compressor is filled by opening the oil plug on the separator
tank. Used oil is discharged from the discharge valve under the separator tank.

3.2.3 During Operation


Refer to Section 7 for information on starting your compressor.

Operating on Load
Minimum pressure valve opens when the pressure inside the separator tank reaches close to 4 bars and
sends the pressurized air to the system. At this time, vacuum regulator flap is opened, too.

Operating Without Load (Idling)

When the pressure line reaches the set pressure level, pressure controller on the vacuum
regulator closes the vacuum regulator and engine speed is decreased simultaneously by the
pneumatic control pistons. In this way, Both it is possible to reach the pressure value required by
the customer, and it is possible to save a high amount of fuel by reducing engine speed and
operating the compressor at idle.

While idling, some amount of air is sent to the vacuum regulator under the control of the screw
unit that circulates the compressor oil for cooling and lubrication. Internal pressure is reduced
under control in this period.

18
Internal pressure is kept at a certain level during idling by the minimum pressure valve.

Air required from the compressor while loading is provided by pneumatic controller opening the
vacuum regulator and by the pneumatic piston accelerating the engine.

3.2.4 Operating Principle of the Screw Unit


Screw unit of the portable screw compressor series is a single-stage, oil-injected unit with positive
displacement. Screw unit consists of two specially designed rotors that operate in parallel to each other,
bearings of the rotors and screw bodies that provide bearing to these rotors. These two rotor profiles are
expressed as asymmetrical helical male and female profiles.

Remember that performing any modifications on the screw unit without


authorization by HERTZ Compressor may void your compressor's warranty.

3.2.5 Drive System


Mechanical drive is required for producing air. This system consists of the frame, screw unit, engine and
coupling.

A diesel engine is used in your compressor. Coupling that ensures the axial flexibility is made of high
quality material.

Figure 3 HPA 340 & HPA 500 Drive System

19
3.2.6 Vacuum Control System
Vacuum control system consists of vacuum regulator, pressure controller, control air line hoses and
pneumatically controlled pistons.

The aim of the vacuum control system is to operate your compressor in the most economical way
possible.

It ensures that the compressor engine rotates using very small power by closing the vacuum when
required pressure values are reached; instead of frequent stop and start operations, compressor is
prevented from taking air only and thus economic operation is ensured.

When the compressor is stopped, the pressure left inside the separator tank moves in the reverse
direction and tries to rotate the screw in the reverse direction. Vacuum regulator closes the vacuum
at this time by acting as a check valve and prevents both the reverse rotation of screw and back flow
of the oil.

Remember that performing any modifications without authorization by HERTZ


Compressor and removal of the seals on the components of control system may
void your compressor's warranty.

Figure 4 HPA 340 & HPA 500 Vacuum System

20
3.2.7 Drain System
Drain system consists of screw unit, separator tank, separator, minimum pressure valve and scavenge
cycle.

Do not remove any covers or parts when the compressor is pressurized. Ensure that the
pressure is release by stopping the compressor first.

Mixture of pressurized air and oil from the screw unit is sent to the separator tank.

Figure 5 HPA 340 & HPA 500 Drain System

21
Oil that can be carried by the characteristic feature of the air is separated in the separator tank.
This process consists of:

separator plate for first seperation


expansion
and filtration for oil vapor.

Mixture of air and oil in the separator tank is sent to the separator filter. Separator filter collects
oil particles to a large extent as per its characteristics. Only air can pass through this filter.

Only a very small amount of oil leaks to the separator during this filtering operation and is
collected under the filter.

Due to the difference in pressure between the tank and screw unit, oil collected under the
separator is returned to the screw unit with the scavenge line.

Minimum pressure valve on the outlet line keeps the pressure at 4 bars when the compressor is
at idle. This pressure value is required for recirculation of oil.

Minimum pressure valve prevents pressurized air from returning to the compressor when the
compressor is turned off or at idle. Minimum pressure valve does not allow air output until the
internal pressure reaches 4 bars if the pressure in the air line is lower than 4 bars when the
compressor is started.

There is a safety valve to prevent excessive building of separator tank pressure in case of a fault
or blockage.

There is temperature sensor to stop the compressor when the temperature of screw unit reaches
0
110 C. Temperature sensor stops the compressor when this temperature is reached.

3.2.8 Trailer System


There are two options in the HERTZ Portable Screw Compressor Series: with frame, fixed and without
brake, with trailer arm. On the fixed option with frame, there is no trailer system and compressor unit is
available with the cabinet on the frame. No trailer system is used in fixed models with frame.

Trailer systems used in HPA 340 and HPA 500 are trailers without brakes, and their height can be
adjusted. Trailer systems used in HPA 640 & 1000 are trailers with brake. There are options that fixed
and height can be adjusted.

3.2.8.1 Trailer Systems with Height Adjustment and without Brake


These systems are trailer systems without a brake and with adjustable trailer arm. You may tow your
compressor easily by engaging the height-adjustable trailer arm on the trailer system to the tow bar. In
this option, system may be adjusted to the proper height for the tow bar of many vehicles as the tow bar
height is adjustable.

22
Refer to the maintenance section and user manuals provided by manufacturer companies for the detailed
information on the maintenance and lubrication of your trailer.

Figure 6 HPA 340 & HPA 500 Movable trailer system

23
Regulation System
Regulation system consists of a vacuum regulator, gas piston, proportional control valve (2), water
separator, load/idle solenoid, drain valve and pneumatic connection elements. When the compressor is
started flap of the vacuum valve opens and screw starts to vacuum air. Air is provided under the flap of
the vacuum valve after the building of internal pressure in the separator tank and the flap closes. Air is
provided to the gas piston of the diesel engine at the same time and diesel engine speed is reduced to
idle.

When the air outlet valve is opened and consumption begins, internal pressure in the separator
tank is decreased, suction valve limits the air and thus allows the flap to open, and in parallel to this,
diesel engine speed starts to increase as the air sent to gas piston is decreased.

When the air outlet valve is closed and consumption is shut off, internal pressure in the separator
tank is increased, suction valve increases the air and thus allows the flap to close, and in parallel to this,
diesel engine speed starts to decrease as the air sent to gas piston is increased.

5 TRANSPORTATION and HANDLING

5.1 Transportation
You should check your compressor against damage and missing parts during delivery.

In case of any damage on the compressor or the packaging, inform HERTZ Compressor and your
logistics company.

5.2 Transporting
Place your compressor on a flat palette and lift it with a lift truck.

Ensure that the blades of the lift truck are adjusted before lifting your compressor.

When carrying your compressor with a lift truck, take care not to lift too much, and carry carefully.

When lifting a compressor on a palette, ensure that your compressor is fixed to the palette
securely. Otherwise, your compressor may fall from the palette and cause damage and injury.

If there is no fork lift in the facility or it cannot operate, lift your compressor using crane and
hanger as seen in the figure.

Inspect the screws and nuts that may loosen during transportation.

Ensure that all equipment, rope, hook etc. you shall use for lifting and support has the quality and
strength to carry the compressor. If you don't know the weight of the compressor before the
carrying operation, start the carrying operation after you learned the weight.

Be careful and act slowly while carrying the compressor. Impacts and falls may cause damage to
the internal components of the compressor and prevent it from operating.

Make sure that there are no living things under the compressor as you lift and lower it.

Make sure that the floor you shall place the compressor on has the strength to support the
compressor's weight.

8 Some Compressor Equipments

Main Switch: Allows supplying/cutting off to/from the control system of the compressor. Makes the
system ready for operation.
Start-Stop & Pre-heating switch: Used for performing Start-Stop-Preheating functions.
Timer: Counts compressor operating hours and used for monitoring of service hours.

Safety Valve: Releases the pressure and ensures safety when the pressure inside the tank is
increased greatly in case of a fault.

Minimum pressure valve: Ensures that the pressure in the separator tank is kept between 3.5 and
4 bars.

Pressure controller: Checks the air sent to the vacuum regulator when the compressor reaches the
set pressure level and allows operation of compressor at low speed or at idle.

Solenoid Valve: Switches the compressor to load or idle during operation; delivers air under the
vacuum regulator during start and ensures that the regulator is closed.

Thermostatic valve: Oil temperature and viscosity is affected in cold weather conditions. In such a
case, thermostatic valve prevents sending the oil to the cooler and allows circulation of oil between
0
the separator tank and screw unit. When the oil temperature reaches ~71 C, thermostatic valve
allows sending oil to the oil cooler. And it ensures condensation of water in the oil.

9 Cooling and Lubrication System

Cooling and lubrication system consists of the radiator, cooling fan, oil filter, separator tank, connection
hoses and pipes.

Pressure inside the separator tank transfer oil from the radiator to the oil filter, and then to the low
pressure side of the screw unit.

Oil passes through the oil filter before screw unit and thus harmful particles are removed.

Most part of the oil is sprayed to the rotors in the screw unit; this oil provides sealing between rotors
and takes the heat that occurs with the compressing of air by the rotors and carries this heat to the
cooler. This oil also lubricates the bearings of the rotors.

Oil has three main functions:


Acts as a cooler by absorbing the heat that occurs due to the compression of air in the screw unit,
and due to the friction on the bearings and rotors.
Ensures sealing by creating an oil film between screw block and rotor.
Lubricates rotor bearings.

44
Mixture of air and oil from the screw unit is sprayed to the separator tank. Thanks to the special
design of the separator tank and the density difference between air and oil, air and oil starts to be
separated from each other physically. Separator element which allows entry of air to the system only
ensures flow of completely separated air and oil.

Oil vapor remaining in the air is screened to a great extent while it passes through the separator
filter.

Oil remaining the separator tank is cooled in the radiator and then sent to the oil filter.
Separator tank has three main functions:

Thanks to its special design, performs the preliminary air - oil separation process.
Contains compressor oil.
Provides adequate volume to store the pressurized air required for the operation of the
compressor pneumatic system.

10 MALFUNCTIONS

10.1 General
The information provided in this chapter is prepared based on the experience accumulated by the
service studies and the tests conducted in the factory.

The indications and reasons of the malfunctions are ordered according to the incoming
complaints and the feedback frequency of the service technicians.

11 MAINTENANCE

11.1 General

Since your compressor is an assembled machine; maintenance performed by unauthorized


people may void all warranty and also cause unwanted damages and injuries.

Do not lift the cabinet cover while the compressor is operated. Turn off the power supply of the
compressor from the main switch before maintenance. Ensure that all pressure inside the
compressor is discharged.

Always read the user manuals before maintenance. Keep in mind that the maintenance performed by
authorized services will extend the service life of your compressor.

11.2 Periodic Maintenance

11.2.1 Daily Maintenance


Check the Cabinet Covers.

Cabinet covers are installed to your compressor with two hinges and two gas springs. Before
inspection, maintenance and repair operations, check the installation and operation of parts that
allow opening of the covers such as gas springs, hinges and handles. Faults in cover system may
cause serious injuries.

Check the Oil Level of the Compressor.


There is an oil level indicator on the separator tank body to observe oil level easily. Check the oil
level when the compressor is stopped. (Oil level may change during operation.) Oil level shall be
between maximum and minimum marks of the indicator, add oil if required. If you are adding oil
too frequently, there is a problem with your compressor. Review malfunctions section to check
this condition.

Check the engine oil level.


Check the engine oil level from the dipstick on the engine while the compressor is stopped or
after stopping your compressor for a period of time (to allow seeping of oil in the engine to the
sump).

Check the pre-filter element on the fuel line.


If there is water or dirt inside the separator, drain the contaminated fuel from the drain hole on the
bottom of the separator; and after close the drain hole, pump fuel with manuel pump to fill until
the separator is full. Then pump fuel until the fuel returns to the tank with a pump on the fuel filter,
if available, after closing the drain hole.

Check the fuel amount before operating.

You may observe the fuel level of your compressor from the fuel level indicator on the upper right
of the control panel. Fuel level warning lamp on the control panel is illuminated when the fuel
level is low. Add fuel while the compressor is stopped when you see this warning. Air shall be

53
mixed to the fuel if you continue to operate without adding fuel. In such a case, you shall bleed
the fuel system after adding fuel.
Check refrigerant charge.
You may observe coolant level from the maximum and minimum level indicators on the
expansion tank. Coolant level shall be between the level marks. If the coolant level is low, top up
with the proper coolant; do not open the cover on the expansion tank until the system is cooled
completely to prevent injuries as the cover is under pressure.
Check air filter elements.
Check the filter contamination level by pressing the button on the filter contamination indicators
on the air lines while the compressor is operated under load. Clean or replace the filter when the
indicator shows 50%. If the air filter element is full of dirt before the maintenance time, replace the
element with new one.

Check for fuel, oil, air and water leaks.

Check whether the components of your compressor and mounting elements of these
components are installed properly (excluding moving parts).

Parts may be loosen or come off while your machine is transported, operated or inspected.

11.2.2 Maintenance every 50 hours or every week


Drain the water settled down and collected from the fuel tank.

Check the cooler cells and clean with pressurized air if required.

Check oil level.

Visually inspect for oil leaks or damage in the internal equipment of your compressor.

11.4 Maintenance Instructions

11.4.1 Oil Change


Shut down the compressor.

If your compressor is cold (not running) first run it for 5-10 minutes to heat up the oil and then turn
off.

Wait 3-5 minutes for the discharging of internal pressure and to allow oil to flow down.

Remove the oil filler plug and the oil filter.

Drain oil completely by opening the oil drain valve under the separator tank. Close the oil drain
valve when oil flow is ended.

Fill sufficient amount of oil according to Table 15.

Replace the oil filling plug and complete the connections.

Run your compressor for a few minutes to check the internal mechanism for oil leaks.

Stop the compressor and wait for the oil to settle, then check the oil level. Replenish if necessary.

11.4.2 Oil Filter Replacement

Replace the oil filter after the initial 250 hours and every 500 hours thereafter. If 500 hours is not
achieved within 6 months, replace the filter every 6 months. Also, replace the oil filter whenever
you replace the oil.

To replace the oil filter;

Stop the compressor and wait until internal pressure discharges.

Remove the old filter with filter wrench.

Clean the surface where filter gasket contacts.

Lubricate the gasket of new filter element slightly and add oil as per its position.

Place the new filter and tighten it securely by hand.

Avoid actions that may damage the filter cartridge.

Operate the compressor again and check for any leaks.

59
To decrease the possibility of the oil filter element and your compressor being damaged, use
only genuine HERTZ spare parts. Maximum pressure values of filter elements from other
brands may not be adequate.

11.4.3 Air Filter Replacement


The air filter inside your compressor is to prevent the dust that enters the system.

To replace the air filter;

Stop your compressor. Open the clips securing the filter cover and rotate and pull the filter inner
element out slightly towards you.

Before installing the new filter element, wipe the inner surface of the filter body and inner surface
of the filter cover with a clean cloth. Do not clean the dirt here with pressurized air. (They can get
inside the vacuum regulator.)

Install the new filter element by rotating and pushing it slightly forwards, and close the filter cover,
and place and tighten the clips properly.

NOTE: If you will keep the spare air filter in your stock, store in its box and in a clean place.

Figure 19 Replacement of compressor air filter

11.4.4 Dust indicator


When you press the button on the dust indicator on the air line while the compressor is under
load, if the display on the indicator shows X, it means that air filter cleaning element has reached
service level.

Replace the filter element.

60
11.4.5 Replacement of Separator Element
Replace the separator element periodically every 6 months. This filter cannot be cleaned.
Separator shall be replaced every 500 if the compressor is operated more than 500 hours every
6 months. To replace separator element;

Stop the compressor.

Ensure that all pressure inside the separator tank is discharged.

Remove the separator element.

Place the new separator and tighten it securely.

Operate the compressor and check for any oil or air leaks from the connections.

11.4.6 Maintenance of Radiator


As the cooling air passes through the cooling radiator cores, some dirt enters between the
radiator cores and starts to clog the cores. Clean by applying pressurize air in the air flow
direction of the radiator (from inside to the outside).

If the dust between the cores meets oil, it may stick and get hardened; spray an industrial
cleaning material that is not inflammable between the radiator cores to clean in this case.

11.4.7 Coolant Replacement

Drain the water inside the radiator by opening the drain valve. Close the drain thereafter.

0
Prepare a 50% water and 50% antifreeze mixture (for -37 C).

Before putting the mixture to the radiator, remove the bleeding plug on the top of the radiator.

Fill the mixture prepared from the expansion tank.

Close the bleeding plug.

Check the refilled water level by the level indicator on the expansion tank.

61
11.4.8 Maintenance of Oil Return (Scavenge) Line
A small amount of oil leaks through the oil filter element while the separator filter separates the oil
and air. This oil is returned back to the system with the oil return line.

Oil flow shall be observed through the oil return line hose while the compressor is operated under
load.

If the small hole (orifice) on the oil return line is clogged, the oil level in the tank is reduced quickly
and oil enters the pressurized air system.

Scavenge line may be blocked if the oil level of the compressor is reduced continuously in daily
oil level inspections. Stop the compressor and remove the scavenge line and clean the small hole
(orifice) with pressurized air or a thin wire.

Do not widen the scavenge orifice, otherwise your compressor's capacity shall be reduced.

11.4.9 Battery Maintenance


Have the battery maintained and inspected annually.

Check the tightness and oxidation conditions of battery terminal clamps periodically. Remember
that a loose clamp may cause that the terminal is eroded and finally that your battery is burnt. In
case of oxidation on the terminal, wash the terminal with water and remove the oxidation.
Otherwise, additional resistance caused by oxidation may prevent your battery from charging.

Use materials that would prevent contact with air such as petroleum jelly after cleaning the
terminals and clamps. We do not recommend grease or similar substances instead of petroleum
jelly as it would create a contaminated area by mixing with dust in this area.

Have the voltage of your battery inspected during the maintenance operations in authorized
services. You may see the real voltage value of your battery if you perform this inspection 1 hour
after the cooling of the engine. If the voltage value is 12.40 to 12.60 volts, have the battery
removed and charged for 3 to 6 hours with 1/20 Cn (1/20 of battery capacity) current value. Take
the battery voltage measurement after charging 1 hour after the settling of the battery. If the
battery voltage is >12.70 volt, you may stop charging. If the battery does not reach the specified
values although it is charged, have the fault repair operation performed on the battery.
(Sulphation or similar conditions may be available on your battery)

11.4.10 Trailer Maintenance


Have the trailer maintained periodically every year. If the mileage is over 15000 km annually,
have it maintained every 15000 km. Always lubricate the connection point specified in the figure
every 5000 km. Refer to trailer operation manual provided with your machine for more detailed
information.

12 OIL AND FUEL SPECIFICATIONS

13.1 Compressor Oil


Your compressor uses HERTZ SMARTOIL 3000-W brand compressor oil. This is a special oil
manufactured with the operation of the compressors in mind.

Different types and qualities of oils have different chemical compositions and additives; and
mixing them or using them in compressor shall cause high cost damages.

Do not add any oil additives into compressor oil, as in motor oil. The oil used is prepared
specifically for the compressor so it already includes necessary additives.

If you use motor oil, hydraulic oil etc. instead of compressor oil; the two oils combine and form a
thick paste, and immediately breaks all the filters of the compressor. If you continue using your
compressor like this, damages occur in the screw unit in a few days.

To prevent incorrect use, do not store other types of oils near your compressor.

Contact your authorized service or our sales department for your request for synthetic oils with
longer service life.

HERTZ Smartoil 3000-W

It is a high quality oil specifically developed for screw compressors. It is the most ideal oil to use
in compressors since it has excellent air and water separation properties with high oxidation
resistance.

Oxidization resistance: High temperatures occur during the compression of the air. Oil that is
not protected against oxidation shall be oxidized in some areas and leave dirt in these areas in a
short period of time. This would reduce efficiency, cause wear and increase the maintenance
costs. HERTZ Smartoil 3000-W prevents or minimizes this oxidation thanks to the additives it
contains.

Protecting Components Against Corrosion: Protects components against corrosion and


increases service life of the components.

Good Separation from Air: It is quickly separated from the air, thus prevents cavitation and
contributes to increasing of compression.

Compliance with Gaskets: Complies with all gaskets used in the compressors greatly.
Occupational Health and Safety: Contact of oil, especially used oil with the skin shall be
prevented and it shall be washed with plenty of water and soap in case of contact.
Environmental Protection: Never dump used oil to ground or water courses. Do not burn it.
Collect the oil in a specified collection point and dispose as specified by the law.
