GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILTER MAINTENANCE
-
Depressurize system before starting any maintenance
work.
-
Dry inside of filter housing with a clean cloth before in
stalling new cartridge and check for corrosion. Change if
necessary.
-
Lubricate threads and O-rings as well as threaded part of
cartridge with white petrolatum DAB 9 order no. N19091
or WEICON WP 300 white order no. N19752.
-
Record number of pressure bottles and/or operating
hours to ensure exact attention to maintenance intervals.
-
Change cartridge before reactivating a compressor unit
after out-of-service periods of more than 3 months.
-
Leave cartridge in the filter as long as unit is out of ser
vice.
-
Keep all condensate drain valves and taps closed. Keep
a minimum pressure of approx. 50 to 80 bar (700 to 1,100
psi) within the system to prevent moisture entering the
compressor piping and filter system.
-
The nozzle type separator is maintenance-free.
FILTER CARTRIDGES
New filter cartridges are vacuum-packed and can be stored
for two years (refer to date on the cartridge). A defective vac
uum package cannot protect the cartridge appropriately
against environmental influences during storage. Should the
package be damaged, do not use the cartridge.
To avoid any danger to your health or damage to your unit,
change used up cartridges in good time.
Never fill used up cartridges yourself! The filter material was
chosen specifically by BAUER-KOMPRESSOREN for each kind
of application.
Pay attention to cleanliness an hygiene when changing the
filter.
FILTER SERVICE LIFETIME
For units equiped with B-Timer, observe
the maintenance informations on the dis
play (see chapter 3.8.).
The number of operating hours or the amount of possible
bottle fillings per filter cartridge can be determined by the
tables of the pages 32 to 33 taking into consideration the
ambient temperature and the cartridge used.
These tables contain calculated cartridge lifetime data, that
refer to defined and constant operating conditions. Toler
ances at bottle fillings and different operating temperatures
can lead to considerable divergences compared to data
given, which therefore can only serve as reference values for
the user.
Cartridge 80110 is the normal TRIPLEX-cartridge for electric
units.
Example: at an ambient temperature of 20
°C, 165 to 205
10-ltr-bottles can be filled with a TRIPLEX-cartridge, which is
equivalent to 17 to 21 compressor operating hours at a filling
pressure of 200 bar.
On compressor units with petrol engines only use cartridge,
part no. 80114 to dry and remove oil and CO.
Example: at an ambient temperature of 20
°C, 124 to 153
10-ltr-bottles can be filled with this cartridge, which is equiv
alent to between 13 and 16 operating hours at a filling pres
sure of 200 bar.
CARTRIDGE CHANGE
For safety reasons only CO removal
cartridges part no. 80114 should be
used on compressor units with pet
rol engine. On units with electric engine either CO re
moval cartridge part no. 80114 or TRIPLEX cartridge
part no. 80110 can be used.
Units with petrol engine are delivered with
CO removal cartridge part no. 80114 as
standard, units with electric engine with
TRIPLEX cartridge part no. 80110. When changing
from electric engine to a petrol engine also replace car
tridge part no. 80110 with cartridge part no. 80114.
Never remove replacement cartridge from
packaging prior to actual use otherwise
highly sensitive molecular sieve will ab
sorb water vapour from surrounding air and cartridge
saturated and thus be ruined.
-
Depressurize filter system by opening condensate drain
valves.
-
Remove filter head (3, Abb. 43).
-
Extract old cartridge and insert a new one.
-
Screw in filter head to the stop, without use of force.
The used cartridge must be disposed of ac
cording to local regulations.
CONDENSATE DRAINAGE
Drain condensate from separator and cartridge chamber reg
ularly by slowly opening drain valves
-
before changing cartridge
-
before each filling procedure
-
during filling procedure every 15 minutes.
Slowly open left tap first, then right tap approx. 1/3 turn to
the left, until condensate is completely drained. The taps
close by spring pressure, if necessary tighten by hand to
make sure they are completely air-tight.
