 I. INTRODUCTION

In response to reference (1) and as detailed in reference (2), the MAKO

9700 compressor was tested by NEDU. The test was to determine if the
compressor discharged suitable breathing air and had a service life which
satisfied the requirements for divers air supply compressors throughout the
Navy. Other material variations were also evaluated and are listed as
considerations in Section V.

Highly portable divers air compressors are designed to have high pressure with
relatively low volume outputs. Divers require low pressure with high volume.
The average divers high pressure air compressor is connected to large volume
high pressure air storage flasks to meet this need. In normal operation the
high pressure air is reduced to a lower pressure to act as a breathing media
for divers. As this is accomplished, the pressure gradually reduces in the
storage flasks. The compressors tend to run on a continuous basis as the
diving day continues because the demand is usually greater than the supply.
At the end of the diving day or when air requirements are reduced, the
compressors will exceed the demand and fill the air flasks.

There are various methods of testing compressor capacities. For the purposes
of this compressor test, NEDU chose compressor testing consisted of charging
from 0 to 2500 psig daily then opening the vent and maintaining 1500 psig for
continuous run. This method more closely simulated the use a compressor would
experience in the field. Additionally during the continuous run, random
charge rates were taken from 2000 to 2500 psig. The compressor was operated a
total of 50 test hours. The testing included subjective evaluation of the
system operation but did not include detailed mechanical review of the
individual components of the system.

II. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The MAKO 9700 high pressure, breathing air compressor (Figure 1) is of a

four stage, two cylinder, "vee" configuration. The 1st and 4th stages are
housed in one common stepped cylinder. The 2nd and 3rd stages are housed in
the opposing stepped cylinder. All stages are lubricated by means of the
force-fed lubrication system. The compressor requires approximately 2 quarts
(US) of lubricating oil. The manufacturer recommends that only specific
lubricants be used. These oils are not stocked in the Federal Supply System.
Mako suggests Anderol 500 synthetic oil as a temporary substitute after 50
hours of run time. Anderol is a USN item. At the present time, 2190 TEP is
the only lubricant authorized for breathing compressor use by the U S Navy.

The MAKO compressor block is common to the breathing air unit as well as
industrial high pressure compressor units. It is particularly suitable for
continuous operation because of its rugged design and the corrosion resistant
intermediate filter and cooler assemblies.

The prime mover is a Baldor 25 horsepower, three phase 460/220 volt, 3525
RPM electric motor. Rotational torque is transferred to the compressor by a
single bandel '--t.
 Filtration system is a three chambered unit constructed of aluminum
alloy, designed for 5000 psi working pressure. The first chamber is a
mechanical separator to remove oil and water. Subsequent chambers utilize
replaceable cartridges to remove water vapor, hydrocarbons, noxious gases,
taste and odor. Carbon monoxide is also eliminated by catalytic oxidation.
The final chamber includes a visual moisture and carbon monoxide indicator.

A pressure maintaining/non-return valve is provided down stream from the

filter system to ensure that pressure build up occurs in the filters during
start up and initial compressor air delivery. This achieves constant, optimum
filteiing, moizture separation, and prevents compressed air from returning
from the charged air storage tanks to the compr-ssor during unit shut down.

All four stages of the compressor are protected by safety relief valves.
Figure 2 provides a diagram of the compressor purification system. For these
tests the MAKO 1803 and 1503 filters were used.

 III. TEST PROCEDURE

The compressor and all ancillary equipment was received and set up in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. A Cole Palmer model 8502-14
temperature monitor and Yellow Springs Instruments 700 series thermistor
probes were attached to measure compressor discharge and ambient temperatures.
A safety line was installed on the charging whip. The unit was placed in an
exterior work area, open to ambient temperature but protected by an awning
from direct weather. APPENDIX A contains the complete test plan and the
pass/fail criteria used during the evaluation. APPENDIX B is the test log and
contains the recorded data.

A. ENDURANCE TEST

The compressor was operated daily to charge four 2250 cubic inch
(floodable volume) cylinders. The four cylinders were interconnected to
simulate one large 9000 cubic inch air flask. After a charge of 2500 psig on
the flasks the vent was opened and the compressor run at 1500 + psig. Since
the filter flasks hold 1500 psig the charge rate was verified by charging from
1500 to 2500 psig. A total of 50 hours of operation were logged on the
compressor. The following parameters were recorded

1. Date
2. Time
3. Total meter hours
4. Total test hours
5. Oil level
6. Oil pressure
7. All four stage pressures
8. Discharge air temperature
9. Ambient air temperature
10. Flask size
11. Flask pressure

5
B. CHARGE RATES

The volume of air delivered and the time to achieve that volume was
logged daily.

C. OIL CONSUMPTION

At the beginning of the test the oil sump level was measured as full (3/4
of sight glass). Oil level was monitored during operations and consumption
logged. An oil change was accomplished (as per manufacturer's
recommendations) at 25 hours of compressor operation. The oil used for the
change was MAKO regular compressor oil.

D. AIR SAMPLING

Air samples were taken from the compressor discharge at hours 1, 25 and
50 and sent to the NCSC Laboratory, Code 5130, for purity analysis.

E. MAINTENANCE

Scheduled maintenance was performed in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions and consisted of a lubricating oil change at 25 hours of
operation, and a filter change at 32 hours of testing. The oil sump level,
C02/moisture indicator was checked prior to start-up each day.

IV. RESULTS

A. ENDURANCE TEST

The compressor was successfully operated at a total of 50 hours per

appendix "B" to insure propor functioning and to draw air samples.

B. CHARGE RATES

The data collected provided a complete operational and maintenance log

for this test and was the basis for computing and evaluating all the test
results. Compressor charge rates for the air cylinders used during the test
were as follows:

TIME TOTAL VOLUME CHARGE RATE

MAXIMUM: 5 MINUTES 36 SECONDS 177 CUBIC FEET 32.68 CFM

MINIMUM: 5 MINUTES 25 SECONDS 177 CUBIC FEET 31.57 CFM

AVERAGE: 5 MINUTES 29 SECONDS 177 CUBIC FEET 32.27 CFM

NOTE: Differences in maximum and minimum charge rates were the result of
differences in the ambient temperature at the time the charge rates were taken
and not considered significant.

6
 The majority of the temperature differentials between ambient and
compressor discharge temperatures were 5 to 8 degrees Fahrenheit. The maximum
recorded differential temperature was taken immediately after startup. It is
not considered to be a true reading because of the temperature drop of
compressed air dumping to empty flasks from the 1500 psig build up in the
filter system.

C. OIL CONSUMPTION

During the test the compressor consumed one quart of oil. Average
consumption was 0.04 pints per hour and is considered acceptable.

D. AIR SAMPLING

The results of the air samples are shown in APPENDIX D. All samples were
within limits established by reference (3).

E. MAINTENANCE

The MAKO 9700 compressor unit was easily maintained anid only minor
problems were encountered. The maintenance manual for the compressor is
considered adequate.

NOTE: During test hour 23 the oil pressure dropped below 1000 psi. As
suggested by the manual the pump was vented with no increase in oil pressure.
The oil pressure regulator set screw was used to adjust the pressure in
accordance with manufactures instruction manual and no further oil pressure
problems occurred.

V. RECOMMENDATIONS

The following are recommended considerations that the user should be aware of
when purchasing this compressor.

Depending on the specific use and environment it may be prudent to have the
manufacturer make the recommended changes prior to purchasing the compressor.

A good example of this would be if the compressor was going to be used inside
a protected area the recommendations would not apply as much if it was going
to be used out in the weather.

These are only considerations and not requirements.

A. Primary power source be changed to meet specifications standards of

MIL-M-17060-E Amendment 1.

Justification

Reference (4). To meet Navy specifications the prime mover, if electric,

should be a sealed insulation system (service A use) in accordance with
MIL-M-17060 F, Amendment 1.

B. The cadmium coated fittings be replaced with a suitable substitute.

7
 Justification

Reference (5) states that cadmium coated fittings cannot be used in

systems that exceed 400 degrees Fahrenheit or if the cadmium could come in
contact with petroleum products. At this time the only authorized HP
compressor lubricant by the Navy is 2190-TEP. Also, if subjected to sea spray
cadmium coated fittings are susceptible to corrosion.

VI. CONCLUSIONS

Evaluation of the MAKO 9700 compressor revealed the following:

1. The MAKO 9700 compressor delivers acceptable breathing air at a

charge rate and volume which meet's or exceeds the manufacture's
specifications.
2. The unit is sturdy, reliable and readily maintained

3. The operating and maintenance manuals for the compressor are

adequate.
4. The MAKO 9700 compressor is suitable for use by the US. NAVY.
