Ingersoll UP6S 11-22 kW Oil-Flooded Rotary Screw Compressors (Dryer Option): General Maintenance

MOISTURE SEPARATOR MAINTENANCE

The moisture separator will operate indefinitely under normal working conditions, however at some time it may be necessary to replace the seals should the housing leak.

Isolate the housing from the air supply
Fully depressurize in drain bowl as appropriate.
Unscrew bowl and remove. If pressure has not been completely released from the housing, air will escape from the warning hole giving an audible alarm. Screw back bowl and repeat instruction 2 before attempting again. Should resistance to unscrewing be experienced, provision is made for a ’C’ spanner to fit onto the ribs of the bowl.
Check condition of bowl seal and replace if necessary. Clean screw threads.
The autodrain assembly is not serviceable and must be replaced if faulty.
Refit bowl with ’O’ ring seal.
Repressurize and check for leaks. If leaks occur they will most probably be from the bowl ’O’ ring. Depressurize housing and remove ’O’ ring as stated above and inspect and clean. Ensure that mating surfaces are clean and then refit ’O’ ring and repressurize.

AIR FILTER MAINTENANCE

In order to ensure optimum compressed air quality the filter element should be replaced as follows. (Used filter elements must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.) Use only genuine Ingersoll Rand replacement elements.
