2.3 Compressor unit (contd.)
Description Compressor unit

Compressor unit Looking at the shaft from the front (see diagram), the screw-
components type compressor rotates anticlockwise (see arrow on V-belt
pulley).
Intake air filter

The intake air filter, integrated in the housing, is mounted
directly on the intake flange of the intake regulator. The intake
air is filtered by means of a dry micro-filter with a rating of 10
µm. The filter can be cleaned several times before it needs
replacing. Use only original replacement filters!
Discharge pressure switch (electric)

The discharge pressure switch is connected to the machine
outlet by a pipeline. It controls the intake regulator. The values
for pmax and pmin are set at the discharge pressure switch:
pmax: upper limit of operating pressure at which the unit cuts out
in normal mode
Pmin: lower limit of operating pressure at which the unit cuts in
again in normal mode
The discharge pressure switch is adjusted to the correct setting

at the factory. The discharge pressure switch may only be
adjusted by personnel authorised by the manufacturer!
Intake regulator
The intake regulator is mounted directly on the screw-type
compressor. It controls the air volume sucked in by the screw-
type compressor via the intake filter.
Functional principle of the intake regulator:

The intake regulator has only one master valve. This doubles
up as an infinitely variable control valve and a hermetically
sealed isolating valve. At full load operation the intake cross-
section is fully opened at minimal drop in pressure. At part load
operation the intake cross-section is automatically regulated by
the lift stop and adjusted to the actual air requirement.
When the machine stops this valve quickly and automatically

closes the entire intake cross-section. The multiple functions of
the regulator are discharged by just one flange-mounted control
unit.
Minimum pressure valve

The minimum pressure valve is located on the outlet of the
compressor unit upstream of the air aftercooler.
It performs two tasks:
1) As a pressure maintaining valve it prevents the drop in
pressure in the absence of counterpressure below a minimum
pressure of 4.5 bar.

Operation Manual
RENNER Compressors
Description Minimum pressure valve (contd.)

Compressor unit This pressure is necessary to ensure the oil supply to the
components compressor unit. This minimum pressure is also required for
(contd.) good oil separation.
2) As a non-return valve it prevents the compressed air from the

compressed air system or from the pressure chamber from
flowing back to the compressor unit. This function allows the
separator tank to be totally relieved of pressure when switched
off.
The valve operates automatically. The minimum pressure valve

may only be adjusted by personnel duly authorised by the
manufacturer!
Trap cartridge (item 7)

The trap cartridge is the oil separator element of the
compressor unit and serves to recover the dispersed residual
oil from the compressed air in droplets after pre-separation.
This cartridge is designed as a screw-on/screw-off type and is
secured on the filter support of the separator tank by means of
connection nipples (cf. Fig. 4).
sealing
from
separator return oil
compressed air
Diagram of trap cartridge
Oil scavenge sight gauge / oil scavenge non-return valve

The sight gauge is located near the oil separator cartridge and
indicates the level of oil separated in the cartridge.
When the compressor is started the level indicator reads full

due to the accumulation of oil during standstill. After a few
minutes a mixture of air and oil is indicated, demonstrating that
oil separation is taking place in the cartridge.
If no oil is visible in the sight gauge after a relatively long period
of operation this may be an indication of damage, e.g. a
clogged borehole. As a consequence the oil separated in the
cartridge will be conveyed to the air mains via the compressed
air.
Problems of this kind may only be rectified by personnel

duly authorised by the manufacturer!
Operation Manual
RENNER Compressors
Description Oil scavenge sight gauge / oil scavenge non-return valve

Compressor unit (contd.)
components The oil scavenge non-return valve prevents the oil separator
(contd.) cartridge from being flooded with oil flowing back from the air
end when the compressor is swtiched off.
Oil filter
The replaceable oil filter purifies the compressor oil. It is
screwed onto the return nipple by hand. The filter mesh is 5-
10µm.
Combistat
The Combistat is a temperature indicator and control unit. It is
integrated in the instrument panel. It monitors the maximum
permissible operating temperature of the unit which is set at
110°C (red mark).
When this temperature is reached the circuit is broken and the
unit cuts out automatically.
The line (capillary) connecting the Combistat to the compressor
unit must not be kinked as this will break the contact.
Safety valve
The safety valve is fitted on the separator tank in front of the oil
separator cartridge. It limits the maximum pressure occurring in
the unit to 1-2 bar above the relevant operating pressure
(discharge pressure). The safety valve blows off if the discharge
pressure is exceeded due to a fault in the system.

3.3 Compressor start-up
Content This section covers important information which you need to

observe in order to start up the compressor safely.
General points Each component of the machine is tested at the factory in con-
tinuous operation after the final assembly. The test ensures that
the components indicate the data given and operate fault-free.
During the initial hours of operation the machine must be
watched to determine any possible malfunctions.
Important!
The respective operating manuals must be read and observed
for machines with additional optionally installed components
(electronic control, frequency converter, refrigerant dryer).
Preparation The following points must be observed and carried out before
the first start-up:
Step Task to be carried out / Points to be

observed:
1 Have an electrician tighten all screw and terminal

connections in the control cabinet
2 The motor bearings of compressors, without perma-

nent greased motor bearings, that are unused longer
than 6 month have to be regreased before putting into
operation
3 A clearly visible sign must be affixed to machines with

remote control with the following wording:
Warning! This machine is remote controlled and
may start without warning!
When controlling the machine remotely you must take

the safety precautions which prevent the
machine from starting up while it is controlled
or maintained; place a relevant instruction on the
remote control switch

4.9 Determination of the dew point for determining the optimum
Example: 1) Intake air = 20 °C

Humidity = 50%
Table value = 8,6 g/m³ absolute humidity
Pressure dew point at 10 bar = approx. 51 °C
2) Intake air = 40 C°
Humidity = 90%
Table value = 45,6 g/m³ absolute humidity
Pressure dew point at 10 bar = approx. 92 °C
Caution!
Observe the minimum oil and operating temperatures!
Should the operating temperature be below the dew point,
then condensation can form and become mixed with the oil.
The oil's lubricating properties are then degraded.
The consequences can be damage to the compressor through
to seizure of moving parts.

blown with compressed air while the unit is switched off.
If the oil cooler is very dirty proceed as outlined below.
Cleaning the oil

Step Operation
cooler
70°C, disconnect from the power supply, and remove
the pressure as described in Chapter 5.3.
2 Remove the oil cooler.
3 Steam clean the oil cooler.
4 Refit oil cooler.
5 Start the unit and check for leaks.
5.9 Tensioning / changing the V-belts
Contents This section outlines the procedure for tensioning and/or

changing the V-belt.
General points The V-belts are tensioned by the dead weight of the electric
motor on a pivoting motor base. Therefore they do not need to
be retightened.

Step Operation
belts
1 Switch off the unit, disconnect it from the power
supply, and take measures to prevent it from being
restarted.
2 Loosen the M24 nuts to undo the two thrust springs
(Pos. 1). The springs stabilise the pivoting base
(Pos. 2) when the motor starts up – (thereby
counterbalancing the starting moment).
3 Screw in the adjusting screw (Pos. 3) clockwise in
order to raise the pivoting motor base (undo lock nut
first).
4 Remove the belts individually from the pulley.
5 Fit the new V-belts individually.
6 Lower the pivoting motor base again by means of the
adjusting screw until the motor is fully seated in the
belts.
7 Pretension the two thrust springs evenly on the right
and left sides by means of the M24 nuts. The springs
should be pretensioned approx. 25mm – 30mm.

6.1 Decommissioning of plant
Content This section contains instructions you need to follow when

decommissioning the compressor for an extended period of
time, and when subsequently returning it to operation.
When decommissioning for an extended period of time, prepare

the unit as follows:
Decomissioning of Step Activity

plant
1 A qualified electrician should disconnect the
compressor from power supply and lock off isolator
to ensure it can not be restarted by accident.
2 Check oil level and fill if necessary (see Chapter 5.5

"Checking of oil level") The unit should be stored
with its oil tank filled to the max. recommended level
3 Slacken the V-belt (see Chapter 5.10 “Tensioning

and changing of belt”).
Do not cover the unit with any material that is
impermeable to air. Doing so intensifies the
corrosion of individual parts.

RENNER Compressors
6.2 Re-commissioning after storage
Re-commissioning Compressor units that have been switched off,

information decommissioned or stored away for longer than 3 months,
should not be put back into operation until the following
measures have been carried out.
Re-commissioning Follow the procedure outlined below to return the compressor to

after storage operation after being out of commission for 3 months or more.
Step Activity
1 Turn the screw compressor in the direction of rotation

several times by hand.
Remove the air inlet filter and manifold and pour
2
approx. 0.1 litres of oil (“manufacturer recommended
compressor oil only”) into the suction port. Then, turn
the screw compressor by hand in the direction of the
rotation arrow (anti-clockwise) once more.
3 Check the oil level (in the reclaimer tank) and fill
where necessary, see 5.5. “Checking of oil level”.
4 Connect unit: see Chapter 3.2 “Connections”.
5 Re-adjust the V-belt (see Chapter 5.10 “Tensioning

and changing of belt”).

AW – Maintenance Check Sheet Annex AW-2

Maintenance -
motor bearings (motors from beginning of 2003)
The electric motors of our compressors up to 9 kW (Niedermeier) and until 15 kW (Elektra) are
equipped with so called permanently lubricated or closed bearings. Calculated life time is
between 10 and 20.000 operating hours (OH). These type of bearings can be changed when
other major servicing and or maintenance work is carried out.
We can let you know the bearing types upon request.
Since January / February 2003 our motors (also the EFF types) from 11kW and
larger are equipped with deep groove ball and cylinder roller bearings respectively. As
in the past these bearings are of the open type. They are filled with high temperature grease.
The motors have re-grease facilities on both ends.
These facilities make it much easier to re-grease the motor. When re-greasing only
use high temperature grease (for minimum 175°C – Lithium based – SKF LGHQ3/1 or
equivalent). Greasing of the motors should be done every 2000 hours and should be
organized together with the corresponding compressor service.
Please consider that high ambient temperatures, dusty and other detrimental
ambient conditions negatively influence the life-time of the bearings. In these cases
the regreasing time should be reduced.
Please see hereunder details of the motor bearings and the quantities of grease
required:

NC 315 110/132/160 NU 316 6316 50
The quantity of grease mentioned should be introduced into the bearings by means of a grease
gun. If excessive grease is introduced it will emerge from an opening near to the grease inlet.
This outlet must be opened (small screw) prior to the commencement of and closed, after the
completion of the greasing procedure.

Appendix FU
Frequency converter
Content This short section gives you the key information about the
operation of the frequency converter. (For more information
see the detailed and enclosed manual of the converter
manufacturer)
Function The frequency converter allows continuous operation of

the motor, thus enabling production of compressed air to be
adjusted according to need.
The rotational speed varies between just over 30 and 100% of
the compressor motor speed.
The frequency converter is configured and parameterized at
the factory.
Should an error occur, the compressor is switched off and the

message “Error Converter” appears on the display of the
RENNERtronic control system. Also observe the fault
messages on the display of the frequency converter. Check the
causes and measures in the corresponding chapter of the
operating instructions of the frequency inverter (see addendum
to the operating instructions for compressors with frequency
converter)
CAUTION
Make sure that the air circulation is not restricted or blocked in

any way. A sufficient clearance area must be provided between
the ventilation grid and the walls of the room.
