2.2 Parts Description

See Figure 1 and Figure 2 for the layout of WS4500-WS7500 models. Parts and locations of air-cooled
and water-cooled models are shown on the figures. The machine comprises compressor motor assembly,
inlet system, oil/air separation system, cooling system, lubrication system, discharge system, control

2.3 Air End

Air end is an important component within the machine. Two pairs of rotors engaged together rotate at
high speed driven by motor. As the rotors intermesh, they reduce the volume of trapped air, so the air
sucked through the air filter is compressed and its pressure is increased. Meanwhile, fluid is continuously
injected into the working chamber of air end, mixing with air. The Fluid has three functions:
(1). It serves as coolant to effectively control temperature rise caused by compression heat;
(2). It seals the leak between rotors and casing, and between rotor and rotor;
(3). It forms a lubrication film between rotors so the driving screw may drive the slave screw.
When the groove space reaches the air outlet of the compressor, the oil/air mixture is discharged into the
oil/air separator.
2.4 Inlet System
Air inlet system is composed of air filter, inlet hose and inlet control valve. See the inlet diagram in Parts
List.
Air filter is used to remove impurities in air and provide clean air to compressor. Impurities in air will
cause wear on rotor surface and pollute the fluid.
Not following the air filter service requirement or not using original filter element will cause early
failure of fluid and oil/air separator element and warranty void.
The inlet valve may regulate inlet volume based on air demand level to maintain a balance between
supply and demand, saving energy consumption.
2.5 Discharge System
The discharge system comprises water trap, electronic drain valve and piping. See the discharge system
diagram in Parts List. Compressed air from oil/air separator goes through min pressure valve, aftercooler
and water trap before being discharged for customer use. Service port of the machine is Rp2”. User needs
to equip check valve on external air pipeline.
Water trap is used to extract condensate from compressed air and drain it outside of the machine.
A reliable electronic drain valve is used. User may observe the level through the sight glass of trap and
set draining duration and interval based on the condition of the machine. A manual drain valve is also
equipped to drain water in case that the electronic valve has failed. This is emergency procedure only.
Operator shall clean the electronic drain valve in a timely manner to restore the automatic drain function
of the trap. Once the compressor is stop, operator shall open the drain valve manually to discharge the
water, avoiding rust inside the trap.
(Note: Open the manual drain valve before servicing and disassembling the trap to release the pressure in
trap.)
Warning
Do not disassemble when the compressor is running or pressurized. Shut down the machine and
bleed internal pressure to zero before disassembling.
2.6 Lubrication System
Lubrication system is composed of thermal valve, fluid filter and piping. See the lubrication system
diagram in Parts List.
Fluid in oil/air separator flows into fluid cooler through thermal valve. Cooled fluid enters air end
working chamber through fluid filter. Then it is compressed along with inlet air and discharged into
oil/air separator for a complete cycle.
Thermal valve and fluid filter are integrated into one body and the valve element is in the top cap of filter.
Fluid serves for three roles:
(1). Coolant - Fluid injected into the machine absorbs large amount of heat generated during
compressing as a coolant.
7
(2). Lubricant - Fluid forms an oil layer between the rotors, avoiding direct contact between male and
female rotors. Therefore the wear between rotor surfaces is minimized. In addition, fluid flows to
lubrication positions through internal oil way to lubricate bearings and gears.
(3). Sealant - Fluid with appropriate viscosity can fill up the gaps between rotors and between rotor and
casing. It reduces leakage loss and enhances the volumetric efficiency of compressor.
(4). Fluid filter clears the impurity in fluid and ensure that clean fluid is transported to air end working
chamber and lubrication positions. Impurity in fluid will cause wear on rotor/gear engaging
surfaces and bearing, and reduces the life of compressor.
Fluid filter element should be replaced regularly to ensure good fluid circulation.
Pressure difference transducer is equipped at the top of fluid filter. If pressure difference between the two
sides of filter element exceeds threshold (0.14MPa), a service signal (OIL FILTER MAINT REQD) will
be displayed on the monitor to remind operator of filter element replacement.
2.7 Cooling System
The cooling system comprises fluid cooler and aftercooler. See the cooling system diagram in Parts List.
A. Water-cooled model: User shall be aware of the following when installing external coolant
system
(1). Coolant inlet pipe is connected with aftercooler, i.e. the air is cooled first and fluid is cooled later.
(2). To keep the cooler at good heat-exchanging performance and prolong lifespan of cooler,clean and
sufficient coolant must be used. See 4.3 Cooling System – Water-cooled model for requirements on
coolant quality and flow.
(3). To avoid frost crack to cooler in winter, discharge the water accumulated in cooler once the
machine is shut down. Drain the cooler if the machine is not to be used for a long period of time.
B. Air-cooled model:
The machine equips a centrifugal cooling fan with outer rotor. It features low noise, large air flow, high
pressure and compact structure. Cooling air enters the machine through rear louver and is driven into the
box of centrifugal fan under a negative pressure created by the blower, exchanging heat with cooler.
Then it is exhausts through top louver under centrifugal force.
A cover is used in the box of centrifugal fan to prevent large object or tool from dropping onto the leaf.
Note: The fan is accurately balanced. Do not disassemble the fan. Otherwise the blower may be
damaged.
2.8 Oil/air Separator System

Oil/air separation system comprises oil/air separator, filter element, check valve, min pressure valve,
relief valve, etc. See oil/air separator system diagram in Parts List.
Oil/air mixture from air end crashes on the wall of separator to lower its speed. Large oil drops are
formed due to lower speed. Most of the oil drops set to the bottom of separator under gravity. Oil/air
separator has the following functions:
(1) Prefilter – Oil/air mixture from air end enters the oil/air separator and crashes on the wall of
separator to lower its speed. Large oil drops are formed due to lower speed. Most of the oil drops set
to the bottom of separator under gravity.
(2) An oil reservoir of the compressor to store fluid.
(3) Filter element.
After collision separation, oil/air mixture flows through filter element for fine separation. Minor fluid
residue in compressed air is separated and accumulated on the bottom of filter element. Then the oil is
returned back to compressor's intake port and working chamber through the oil return pipe.
8
(1) Pressure regulation.

Certain amount of air inside the oil/air separator effectively stabilizes pipeline pressure.
The sump tank has two filter elements, primary element and secondary element. Oil/air mixture from
primary separation process is further separated by secondary filter element. Minor oil residual in the
compressed air is extracted and sets on the bottom of filter element. Then the oil goes to the inlet port of
air end through oil return line and is sucked into the working chamber. Sight glass is equipped on the
return line for operator to observe oil return condition. When the compressor is under full load, oil flow
should be significant. When the compressor is unloading, there should be little oil flow. In case the oil
flow is discontinuous or low when the machine is fully loaded, stop and unload the machine. Once the
system has cooled down, clean oil return filter.
Oil filling port and sight glass are equipped on the outer side of oil/air separator. Since discharged air
contains oil more or less, the oil level of separator will drop and need to be added. The normal oil level
shall be observable from the sight glass when the compressor is running at full load.
The min pressure valve is located on the top cap of oil/air separator. It is used to maintain pressure in
oil/air separator above 0.35MPa to ensure fluid flow in oil pipeline. When the compressor is unloading or
stopped, min pressure valve prevents compressed air from flowing back in the system.
An automatic blowdown valve is equipped on the oil/air separator. When the compressor is unloading or
being stopped, blowdown valve opens automatically to allow compressed air in oil/air separator into inlet
pipe, thus release pressure.
A relief valve is equipped on oil/air separator. When pressure in separator exceeds threshold, relief valve
will open to discharge pressure and make sure the machine is safe. The machine also features a high
pressure stop switch. When pressure in separator exceeds threshold, the machine will stop automatically.
Therefore relief valve will not open under normal circumstances.
2.9 Air capacity adjustment system
Air capacity adjustment system automatically adjusts the inlet volume of compressor based on air
demand to maintain the balance between supply and demand.
The control system adjusts compressor inlet volume based on demand for compressed air. The control
system comprises solenoid valve, pressure regulator, inlet valve and spiral valve (for models with spiral
valve only).
A. Line frequency model:
When air demand equals to rated capacity, the machine runs in full load mode and the inlet valve that
controls inlet volume is fully opened. If air demand is lower than rated capacity, the system will
automatically control the openness of spiral valve and inlet valve to reduce inlet volume. If there is no
demand, spiral valve and inlet valve will be closed automatically to stop air intake. In such a case the
machine runs on a lower back pressure in no-load mode.
Function of the control system is explained in the following four modes. To simplify the case, a
compressor with working pressure of 115-125 psig (8-8.6bar) is used. The working procedures applied to
all WS4500 & WS7500 series compressors except that they have different pressure range.
Starting up – 0 to 50 psig (0 to 3.5 bar)

Press start button to start the compressor. Pressure is instantly built in the oil/air separator. Compressed
air closes inlet valve through the control pipeline. The compressor starts at light load and automatically
enters full-load mode after a period of time (typically 6 sec), during which the pressure regulator and
solenoid valve are closed and inlet valve slightly opens under vacuum. The machine runs at no-load.
Pressure in separator builds up from 0 to 50 psig (0-3.5bar). During this period, min pressure valve is
closed and compressed air is disconnected from service pipe to maintain a pressure required for fluid to
flow. Pressure setting of the min pressure valve is typically around 50 psig (3.5 bar).
9
Normal operation – 50 to 115 psig (3.5 to 8 bar)

If system pressure exceeds 50 psig (3.5 bar), min pressure valve will open and compressed air will enter
supply pipe. Now the pressure of pipeline is monitored and controlled by microprocessor controller.
Pressure regulator and solenoid valve are still closed and inlet valve is fully opened till pressure of the
compressor reaches 115 psig (8 bar).
Air capacity adjustment (Standard model) – 115 to 125 psig (8 to 8.6 bar)
If air demand is less than rated capacity, discharge pressure will rise. When the pressure exceeds 115
psig (8 bar), pressure regulator will be activated, sending control air to inlet valve to reduce air intake and
keep the balance between supply and demand. Between 115 and 125 psig (8-8.6 bar), the control system
adjust according to line requirements. Volume regulation range is 100%~50%.
Air capacity adjustment (Spiral valve model) – 115 to 125 psig (8 to 8.6 bar)
When air demand is less than rated capacity, system pressure will build up. Once the pressure exceeds
115 psig (8 bar), pressure regulator that controls the spiral valve will send control air to the spiral valve,
pushing valve element by a rack. Thus, part of discharged air bypassed to inlet port to reduce supply. The
lower the air demand, the greater the openness of spiral valve. If air demand is 50% of the rated capacity,
system pressure will rise to 7.4 bar and the spiral valve will fully open. The guide of spiral valve will
point at MIN (minimum). Therefore, regulation range of spiral valve is 100% to 50%, corresponding to a
system pressure of 8.0~8.4bar. Guide of the spiral valve will turn from MAX to MIN.
If air demand is less than 50% of rated capacity, system pressure will exceed 8.4bar. Now the partial load
pressure regulator starts to work to output pressure to the closing air circuit, reducing the inlet valve and
air intake. When air demand drops to 40% of rated capacity, system pressure will rise to 8.6bar.
Therefore, partial load pressure regulator’s range is 50%~40% of rated capacity, corresponding to a
system pressure of 8.4~8.6bar.
During this process, guide of the spiral valve remains at MIN.
Unloading (Standard model)– Over 125 psig (8.6 bar)
When air demand continues to drop or there is no demand, pipeline pressure may exceed 125 psig (8.6
bar). In such a case, the controller will cut off power supply for loading/unloading solenoid valve, thus
opening the loading/unloading solenoid valve. Control air will enter inlet valve to close it and enter
blowdown valve to open it. In such a case the machine runs on a lower back pressure to reduce energy
consumption. Min pressure valve will prevent compressed air from flowing back to separator.
When pipeline pressure drops to minimum threshold, microprocessor board will power on the
loading/unloading solenoid valve and close blowdown valve. Now the solenoid valve releases inlet valve
to let it take air in again. Once the pressure is built up, pressure regulator will play its role again.
Unloading (Spiral valve model)– Over 125 psig (8.6 bar)
When air demand drops to 40% of rated capacity, system pressure will rise to 8.6bar. In such a case, the
controller will cut off power supply for loading/unloading solenoid valve, thus opening the
loading/unloading solenoid valve. Control air will enter inlet valve to close it and enter blowdown valve
to open it. In such a case the machine runs on a lower back pressure to reduce energy consumption. Min
pressure valve will prevent compressed air from flowing back to separator.
During this process, guide of the spiral valve remains at MIN.
If air demand increases, line pressure will drop. When pressure drops to 8.0bar, the controller will power
on the loading/unloading solenoid valve , meanwhile the inlet regulator and spiral valve returns to their
original places, and spiral valve guide will be point at MAX. The machine is running at full load mode
again.
10
B.VSD model:
Air capacity adjustment system of VSD model varies the speed of electric motor via frequency variation
to match the fluctuation of air demand, and keep the balance between supply and demand. Minimum
motor frequency of WS45-75 series VSD machines is 20Hz and the maximum frequency varies from
model to model. Reference frequency of electric motor is 75Hz. Each VSD model has its own maximum
output frequency for VSD and maximum speed for motor. When air demand equals to rated capacity, the
machine runs in full load mode and the frequency of motor VSD is at rated value. If air demand is lower
than rated capacity, motor frequency will be reduced to lower the speed or air end, thus reducing air
intake. If there is no demand, motor frequency will be reduced to minimum, meanwhile inlet valve will
be closed to stop air intake. In such a case the machine runs on a lower back pressure in no-load mode.
Air capacity adjustment system function is explained in the following four modes. To simplify the case, a
compressor with working pressure of 115-125 psig (8-8.6 bar) is used. The working procedures applied
to other VSD models except that the control pressure points of working pressure are different.
Starting up – 0 to 50 psig (0 to 3.5 bar)

Press start button to start the compressor with motor at lowest frequency. Pressure is instantly built in the
oil/air separator. Compressed air closes inlet valve through the control pipeline. The compressor starts at
light load and automatically enters full-load mode after a period of time (typically 6 sec), during which
the solenoid valve is closed and inlet valve slightly opens under vacuum. The machine runs at no-load.
Pressure in separator builds up from 0 to 50 psig (0-3.5bar). During this period, min pressure valve is
closed and compressed air is disconnected from discharge pipe to maintain a pressure required for fluid
to flow. Pressure setting of the min pressure valve is typically around 50 psig (3.5 bar).
Normal operation – 50 to 115 psig (3.5 to 8 bar)

If system pressure exceeds 50 psig (3.5 bar), min pressure valve will open and compressed air will enter
supply pipe. Now the pressure of pipeline is monitored and controlled by microprocessor controller.
Solenoid valve is still closed and inlet valve is fully opened till pressure of the compressor reaches
100psig (7bar). Now motor frequency reaches its rating.
Air capacity adjustment – 115 to 125 psig (8 to 8.6 bar)

If air demand is less than rated capacity, discharge pressure will rise. When the pressure exceeds 115
psig (8 bar), VSD motor will reduce its frequency, hence reducing intake air capacity to keep the balance
between intake and discharge. Between 115 and 125 psig (8-8.6 bar), frequency of VSD motor varies
according to the pressure in pipeline.
Unloading – Over 125 psig (8.6 bar)

When air demand continues to drop or there is no demand, pipeline pressure may exceed 125 psig (8.6
bar). In such a case the frequency of VSD motor is at minimum. Microprocessor board will send signal to
turn on the solenoid and control air will enter inlet valve to close it and enter blowdown valve to open it.
In such a case the machine runs on a lower back pressure to reduce energy consumption. If the
microprocessor board is in manual mode, the machine will keep running at unloading mode until line
pressure drops to 8bar, at which point the microprocessor board powers on the solenoid valve and closes
blowdown valve. Meanwhile, inlet valve opens to intake air again and the machine enters normal mode.
If the microprocessor board is in auto mode, the machine will keep running at unloading mode for a
preset period of time before it stops automatically. Once line pressure drops to 8bar, the compressor will
enter normal model again.

WS4500&WS7500 Rotary Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter IV Installation of Compressor
Chapter IV Installation of Compressor

4.1 Foundation and Installation
The machine should be mounted on supporting ground or foundation with sufficient strength. To ensure
that the transmission and internal piping work properly, the machine should be level and firmly
contacting the ground. To control the vibration within technical range, suspended area between the
machine and ground shall be no greater than 15%. To avoid noise from leaking through the gap, a rubber
plate is suggested under the machine with thickness of 10~20mm and width of 80mm.
Elastomeric coupling is used for transmission. Note that the level error or large deflection could affect
the machine and reduce its lifespan.
No load from the piping shall be transferred to air/water connectors within the machine.
Air compressor shall be operated with ambient temperature of 0~40℃. Make sure the ambient
temperature is above 0℃ at all time.
4.2 Cooling and Ventilation

To provide reliable ambient temperature for air-cooled model, air should be able to flow in and out of the
compressor smoothly. Exhaust of the compressor should be at least 1m away from wall and top cover
should be at least 1.5m away from ceiling. Take measures to prevent hot exhaust being drawn back into
the compressor. Ventilation facility should be in place to avoid abrupt temperature rise. Air in/out
interface is ready on the enclosure. See Dimension and Installation Diagram for detailed size. Arrange
ductworks when designing the equipment room. Total pressure loss of all external ducts shall be no more
than 3mm water column. On the other hand, room design should also satisfy ambient temperature
requirement for starting in winter, which is 32°F (0℃) or above.

Similarly, a fixing plate below the oil/air separator tank is connected with the frame to prevent damage to
rubber isolator below the oil/air separator tank due to vibration during transportation. Remove this
support in red color before initial start-up.
4.8 Check Drain Plug of Cooler (Water-cooled Model only)
Drain plug of the cooler is already in place before the machine leaves factory. However, user shall check
each plug to make sure they are secured to avoid coolant leak upon start-up.
4.9 Check Electric Circuit
Internal circuits are wired at factory. There is little wiring work for user to carry out. When wiring the
machine, observe national and local regulations on insulation switch, fuse, etc. Sullair provides the
schematics.
Danger Danger
High-voltage inside. Be careful of electric shock.

Cut off all power supplies before servicing.
1. Check if input voltage is conforming.
2. Check the model of starter and overload heater.
3. Check if all electric terminals are securely fastened.
4. Re-wire the terminal of motor and check the rotation direction of motor according to 4.10.
4.10 Rotation Direction of Motor
Warning
Power breaker installed by user shall be near the machine
A．Line frequency model
User should check if motor rotation direction matches the mark as follows once the machine is powered
on.
Pull out emergency stop button from monitor's control panel and press "I" button (start) followed by "O"
button (stop) immediately. Let motor revolve for a moment. If motor rotates in the same direction of
marked arrow, it means wiring is correct. If not, cut off power and exchange any two power cables. Then
test again.
Never put the motor in reverse rotation direction!
B．VSD model
User should check rotation direction of main motor and fan motor separately once the wiring the
completed.
Check main motor rotation direction:
Pull out emergency stop button from monitor's control panel and press "I" button (start) followed by "O"
button (stop) immediately. Let motor revolve for a moment. Looking from the rear end of the motor, if
the spindle rotates clockwise, then it is correct. If not, cut off power and exchange the phase on the
output side of VSD and test again. There is a sign on the barrel between motor and compressor to
indicate rotation direction.
20
Check fan motor rotation direction:

Check the rotation direction of fan motor together with the main motor. Both motor and fan have
direction indicator. If the direction is wrong, adjust fan motor contactor or the phase on the output side of
fan VSD.
Warning
1. When testing the machine, press Stop or Emergency Stop button once the main motor starts to
run. NEVER let the machine operate with motor running at the wrong direction.
2. For VSD models, change the rotation direction of main motor only by switching phase on the
output side of VSD. Adjusting input power supply may not change the rotation direction of
main motor.

WS4500&WS7500 Rotary Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter VI Maintenance and Service
Chapter VI Maintenance and Service

6.1 Overview
The machine needs little maintenance. Air filter, oil filter and oil/air separator, etc. are monitored by the
controller. Once there is a problem, controller will give corresponding signal through the indicators on
panel schematics. Normal operation of the machine relies on good maintenance and service. Sullair
warranty is available only when you maintain and service the machine according to Sullair operation
manual. See the Warranty for details.
Warning
Do not disassemble any part when the compressor is running or pressurized. Shut down the machine
and bleed internal pressure to zero before disassembling.
6.2 Daily Operation

Check oil level before starting the machine. Add oil if level is low. The machine may consume a certain
amount of oil during operation. However, oil consumption above the limit indicates that there might may
fault condition within the system. See 6.10 Troubleshooting to find out causes and take corresponding
measures.
Once the machine is started, check the machine generally. Check if displayed parameters are correct to
make sure the machine is normal. Check operation condition of various systems after the machine is
warmed up, and check for leakage and abnormal sound.
6.3 Service after 50 Operation Hours

Clean foreign objects in the machine for safety after 50 operation hours and proceed with the following:
A. Clean oil return pipe filter;
B. Clean oil return pipe orifice;
C. Replace oil filter element;

E. Clean the drain filter 。
6.4 Service after every 1000 Operation Hours
A. Clean oil return pipe filter;
B. Replace oil filter element as required;
C. Replace air filter element as required;
D. Clean electronic drain valve;
6.5 Oil – Standard Compressor

Sullair compressor has been filled with sufficient lubrication oil Sullube at factory. If users mix with
other oil, all warranty will void instantly.
In normal cases, Sullube has a long lifespan. However, the interval between oil changing may be shorter in
extreme environment (e.g. high temperature, high humidity, caustic or highly oxidative gas in the air).
Changing interval shall be based on oil sample analysis.
Replace some parts when changing oil. See corresponding chapters in this Manual.
27
Sullair encourages customers to attend the Sullair oil analyzing program. The program may indicate
differently than the changing interval stated in this Manual. Contact dealer for details. The analyzing
program is a service free of charge provided by Sullair to customers.
Change oil in case of either of the following:

(1) every 8000 operating hours;
(2) every year; or
(3) so indicated by the oil sample analyzing result.
6.6 Oil – 24KT Compressor
Sullair compressor has been filled with sufficient 24KT oil Sullube. The 24KT model normally does not
need oil change. If it is to be changed, use Sullair 24KT only. If users mix with other oil, all warranty
will void instantly.
Sullair hopes that customer may take some 24KT oil sample upon first time replacing oil filter element and
send the sample to manufacturer for analysis. A container is provided with the machine (with the address
of manufacturer and sample method). User will receive analyzing report and recommendation of the

6.16 Maintenance of the Motor for Sullair Compressor
(1) Operating conditions of the motor for Sullair compressors (For exported units, they change with different
countries)
Ambient temperature ≤40℃
Altitude ≤1000m above sea level
Frequency 50Hz
Voltage 380V
Operation system S1
Insulation grade F
(2) Operation of the motor for Sullair compressors
1) Motor should be grounded correctly. Generally, the ground wire of the motor for Sullair compressors is
connected in the electric cabinet. Users only need to connect the earth ground wire securely to this point.
2) Clear markings are provided on the lead wires of the motor for Sullair compressors (the markings may vary
from motor to motor, please see the nameplate of motor):
Phase sequence A B C
Head T1 T2 T3
Tail T4 T5 T6
3) For connection of the motor for Sullair compressors, a connection diagram is provided on the nameplate.
4) If the voltage and frequency of power source for the motor for a Sullair compressor are as indicated on the
nameplate, the motor can operate continuously at the rated power × utility coefficient. If the frequency of
the power source deviates from the rating value indicated on the nameplate by 1% of this value or
undervoltage/overvoltage exceeds 5%, it cannot be guaranteed that the motor will deliver such output
power.
5) If the imbalance of three-phase power voltage does not exceed 1%, the motor can run normally.
6) Generally, a thermal relay is mounted in the electric cabinet of a Sullair compressor and it is used as motor
overload protection. (Not applicable to VSD models.)
7) There should be no intermittent or unusual noises or vibrations when the motor runs at no load or at loads.
(3) Maintenance and repair of the motor for Sullair compressors
1) Operating environment should be kept dry, the motor surface should be clean and its air inlet should not be
obstructed by dust or fibers.
2) When the thermal relay (line frequency model) or VSD (VSD model) is failure, check the fault cause. The
motor must not be put into operation until the fault is eliminated.
3) Ensure that the bearings are lubricated well during motor operation. Generally, for every about 2000 hours
of operation of the motor, the grease should be refilled or changed (for sealed bearing, the grease need not
be changed within its service life). If bearing overheating or grease deterioration is found during operation,
the grease should be changed immediately. The grease should be refilled. The grease brand differs for
different motors. For details, please refer to the motor nameplate or contact the Service Department of
Sullair.
4) When the service life of the bearing ends, shock and noises generated during motor operation will be
increased significantly, and in this case, the bearing should be replaced.
5) After motor faults occur, we recommend that the user contact Sullair or its agents.
6.17 Maintenance of Motor and Air End
During the lifetime of the machine, electric motor or air end may need service occasionally. To simplify the
work, only the door panel and post be the side of the air end and motor need to be removed. Since the air
end and motor are connected through a tube, there are two rubber isolators supporting the motor and
another two supporting the air end. The motor and air end need to be supported independently once there
are removed to ensure safety. Such supporting mechanism has been fully considered during design and
manufacturing. The details are described below.
34
Two types of air end are used for the compressors, i.e. 16-series and 18-series.
16-series air end model

WS4500&WS7500 Rotary Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter VIII Troubleshooting
Chapter VIII Troubleshooting

8.1 Overview
Items listed in the troubleshooting table are based on vast experiments of actual application and
manufacturer. The table includes symptoms and normal causes.
Compressor's fault may be caused by multiple reasons. Therefore a systematic analysis on all causes of
the fault should be carried out before service or parts replacement. Do not disassemble the machine
without purpose. To avoid damage, visual check is necessary. Keep the following in mind:
a. Check if cable leads are loose or disconnected;
b. Check if pipeline is damaged;
c. Check if there is part damaged by over heat or short circuit. Normally phenomena are color changing
or scorch odor.
If the fault condition is unable to be removed by the recommended solution, contact local Sullair Dealer
or Sullair directly.
8.2 Possible compressor fault and actions are listed in the following table
