WS4500&WS7500 Rotary Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter II Compressor Structure
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
WS4500&WS7500 Rotary Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter II Compressor Structure
(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.
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.
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.

WS4500&WS7500 Rotary Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter II Compressor Structure
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.

than 0.3bar.)
Before leaving factory ,we have already added enough oil into compressor.
There is a oil glass on the oil separator .So you can view the level of oil by the oil glass , when the
machine is fully-loaded. Then it is normal. If not,you should stop the compressor and add the oil ,when
the level of oil reach between 1/2 and 3/4 of the oil glass ,then it is ok.
4.7 Remove Motor Support and Oil/air Separator Fixing Plate
A support below the seat of motor is connected with the frame to prevent damage to electric motor and
rubber isolator below the air end due to vibration during transportation. Remove this support in red color
before initial start-up. Customer is recommended to keep the support, which can be used to support the
motor when servicing the air end.
19
WS4500&WS7500 Rotary Screw Compressor Operation Manual Chapter IV Installation of Compressor
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.

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.
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
company, which is a service free of charge.

(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.
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

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.
