9. Never use flammable solvents or carbon tetrachloride for cleaning parts. Take safety
precautions against toxic vapors of cleaning liquids.
10. Scrupulously observe cleanliness during maintenance and repair. Keep dirt away by
covering the parts and exposed openings with a clean cloth, paper or tape.
11. Never weld or perform any operation involving heat near the oil system. Oil tanks must be
completely purged, e.g. by steam cleaning, before carrying out such operations. Never weld
on, or in any way modify, pressure vessels.
12. Whenever there is an indication or any suspicion that an internal part of a machine is
overheated, the machine shall be stopped but no inspection covers shall be opened before
sufficient cooling time has elapsed; this to avoid the risk of spontaneous ignition of the oil
vapor when air is admitted.
13. Never use a light source with open flame for inspecting the interior of a machine, pressure
vessel, etc.
14. Make sure that no tools, loose parts or rags are left in or on the machine.
15. All regulating and safety devices shall be maintained with due care to ensure that they

16. Before clearing the machine for use after maintenance or overhaul, check that operating
pressures, temperatures and time settings are correct. Check that all control and shut-down
devices are fitted and that they function correctly. If removed, check that the coupling guard
of the compressor drive shaft has been reinstalled.
17. Every time the separator element is renewed, examine the discharge pipe and the inside of
the oil separator vessel for carbon deposits; if excessive, the deposits should be removed.
18. Protect the motor, air filter, electrical and regulating components, etc. to prevent moisture
from entering them, e.g. when steam cleaning.
19. Make sure that all sound-damping material and vibration dampers, e.g. damping material on
the bodywork and in the air inlet and outlet systems of the compressor, is in good condition.
If damaged, replace it by genuine material from the manufacturer to prevent the sound
pressure level from increasing.
20. Never use caustic solvents which can damage materials of the air net, e.g. polycarbonate
bowls.
21. Only if applicable, the following safety precautions are stressed when handling
refrigerant:
• Never inhale refrigerant vapors. Check that the working area is adequately ventilated; if
required, use breathing protection.
• Always wear special gloves. In case of refrigerant contact with the skin, rinse the skin
with water. If liquid refrigerant contacts the skin through clothing, never tear off or
remove the latter; flush abundantly with fresh water over the clothing until all refrigerant
is flushed away; then seek medical first aid.

Description
Air drawn through filter (AF) and open inlet valve (IV) of unloader is compressed in compressor
element (E). A mixture of compressed air and oil flows into the air receiver/oil separator (AR) via
check valve (CV). The air is discharged through outlet valve (AV) via minimum pressure valve
(Vp) and air cooler (Ca).
The air cooler is provided with a moisture trap (MT).
In all circumstances, minimum pressure valve (Vp) keeps the pressure in the separator tank (AR)
above a minimum value, required for lubrication. An integrated check valve prevents the
compressed air downstream the valve from being vented to atmosphere during unloaded
operation. When the compressor is stopped, check valve (CV) and inlet valve (IV) close,
preventing compressed air (and oil) to be vented into the air filter.

A Intake air
B Air/oil mixture
C Oil
D Wet compressed air
Description
In air receiver/oil separator (AR), most of the oil is removed from the air/oil mixture by centrifugal
action. The remaining oil is removed by oil separator (OS). The oil collects in the lower part of air
receiver/oil separator (AR), which serves as an oil tank.
The oil system is provided with a thermostatic bypass valve (BV). When the oil temperature is
below its set point, bypass valve (BV) shuts off the supply to oil cooler (Co) and the oil cooler is
bypassed.
Air pressure forces the oil from air receiver/oil separator (AR) through oil filter (OF) and oil stop
valve (Vs) to compressor element (E).
Bypass valve (BV) starts opening the supply from cooler (Co) when the oil temperature has
increased to the set point. At approx. 15 ˚C (27 ˚F) above the set point, all the oil flows through
the oil cooler.
2920 7140 34 17
Instruction book
Oil stop valve (Vs) prevents the compressor element from flooding with oil when the compressor
is stopped. The valve is opened by element outlet pressure when the compressor is started.

Description
The cooling system on air-cooled compressors comprises air cooler (Ca) and oil cooler (Co).
The cooling air flow is generated by fan (FN).
Drain connections
The compressors have a manual water drain (Dm). The condensate formed in the air cooler
accumulates in the collector. The condensate can be discharged through the manual drain outlet
(Dm).
18 2920 7140 34
Instruction book
2920 7140 34 19
Instruction book
The compressors can be supplied with an automatic water drain (WSD25). The condensate
formed in the air cooler accumulates in the collector. When the condensate reaches a certain
level, it is discharged through the automatic drain outlet (Da)
20 2920 7140 34
Instruction book
Beside the automatic drain outlet, there is a manual (Dm) condensate drain connection for
manually draining of the condensate.
2920 7140 34 21

Loading
When the net pressure is below the loading pressure, solenoid valve (Y1) is energised. Results:
• The space above unloading valve/blow-off valve (UV) is connected with the oil separator
tank pressure (1) via the solenoid valve.
• Unloading valve/blow-off valve (UV) moves downwards, closing off the connection to
channels (2) and (3).
• Underpressure from the compressor element causes loading plunger (LP) to move
downwards and inlet valve (IV) to open fully.
Air delivery is 100%, the compressor runs loaded.
Unloading
If the air consumption is less than the air output of the compressor, the net pressure increases.
When the net pressure reaches the unloading pressure, solenoid valve (Y1) is de-energised.
Results:
• The pressure above unloading valve/blow-off valve (UV) is released to atmosphere and the
space above valve (UV) is no longer in connection with the oil separator tank pressure (1).
• Unloading valve/blow-off valve (UV) moves upwards, connecting the oil separator tank
pressure (1) with channels (2) and (3).
• The pressure in channel (2) causes the loading plunger (LP) to move upwards, causing inlet
valve (IV) to close, while the pressure is gradually released to atmosphere.
• The pressure in the separator tank stabilises at low value. A small amount of air is kept
drawn in to guarantee a minimal pressure, required for lubrication during unloaded
operation.
Air output is stopped, the compressor runs unloaded.

Instruction book
9 Mass
Description
1 Compressor
Install the compressor unit on a solid, level floor, suitable for taking its weight.
2 Position of the compressed air outlet valve.
2920 7140 34 75
Instruction book
3 The pressure drop over the air delivery pipe can be calculated from:
Δp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x P), with
d = inner diameter of the pipe in mm
Δp = pressure drop in bar (recommended maximum: 0.1 bar (1.5 psi))
L = length of the pipe in m
P = absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
Qc = free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
It is recommended that the connection of the compressor air outlet pipe is made on top of the
main air net pipe in order to minimize carry-over of possible condensate residue.
4 Ventilation: the inlet grids and ventilation fan should be installed in such a way that any
recirculation of cooling air to the compressor or dryer is avoided. The maximum air velocity
through the grids is 5 m/s (16.5 ft/s).
The maximum allowed pressure drop in ventilation ducts before or after the compressor is 30 Pa.
The maximum air temperature at the compressor intake is 46 ˚C (115 ˚F), the minimum
temperature is 0 ˚C (32 ˚F).
• For air cooled compressors and ventilation alternatives 1 and 3, the ventilation
capacity required to limit the compressor room temperature can be calculated from
Qv = 1.06 N/ΔT
with
Qv = required ventilation capacity in m3/s
N = nominal power of the compressor motor in kW
ΔT = temperature increase in the compressor room in °C
For ventilation alternatives 2 and 4: the fan capacity should match the compressor fan
capacity at a pressure head equal to the pressure drop over the air ducts.
5 The drain pipes to the drain collector must not dip into the water of the drain collector. Atlas
Copco has oil/water separators (type OSD) to separate the oil from the condensate to ensure that
the condensate meets the requirements of the environmental codes.
Drain pipes of different compressors may not be interconnected before the (atmospheric)
collector as this can damage the electronic drains.
6 Control module with monitoring panel.
7 Power supply cable to be sized and installed by a qualified electrician.
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components from dust
from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when connecting the supply
cable to the compressor.
8 — 12 Filter DD for general purpose filtration (particle removal down to 1 micron with a maximum oil
carry over of 0.5 mg/m3. A high-efficiency filter, type PD, may be installed downstream of a DD
filter. This filter traps solid particles down to 0.01 micron with a maximum oil carry-over of 0.01
mg/m3. If oil vapors and odors are undesirable, a QD type filter can be installed downstream of
the PD filter.
It is recommended to install bypass pipes with ball valves over each filter in order to isolate the
filters during service operations without disturbing the compressed air delivery.
9 Install the air receiver (to be purchased separately) in a frost free room, on a solid, level floor,
suitable for taking its weight.
For normal air consumption, the volume of the air net (receiver and piping) can be calculated
from:
V = (0.25 x Qc x P1 x T0)/(fmax x ΔP x T1), with
V = volume of the air net in l
Qc = free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
P1 = compressor air inlet pressure in bar(a)
fmax = maximum cycle frequency (recommended: 1 cycle/30s)
ΔP = difference between unloading pressure and loading pressure in bar
T1 = compressor air inlet temperature in K
T0 = air receiver temperature in K
76 2920 7140 34
Instruction book
8 Bypass system to bypass the dryer during service operations (available as an option, consult
Atlas Copco).
11 Safety valve
To prevent feedback of exhaust air into the cooling inlet, sufficient space should be foreseen
above the unit to evacuate the exhaust air. Otherwise a duct for the exhaust air should be
installed. See alternatives 1 up to 4.
When a duct is foreseen on the air inlet, the ambient temperature sensor need to be repositioned
in such a way that the inlet temperature is monitored.
Safety
The operator must apply all relevant safety precautions, including those mentioned in this
book.
Outdoor/altitude operation
Fix speed compressors can be sold with option rain protection. With this option, this compressor
can be installed outside under a shelter, in frost free conditions. If frost might occur, the
appropriate measures should be taken to avoid damage to the machine and its ancillary
equipment. In this case, and also if operating above 1000 m (3300 ft), consult Atlas Copco.
Moving/lifting
The compressor can be moved by a lift truck using the slots in the frame. Take care not to
damage the bodywork during lifting or transport. Before lifting, reinstall the transport securing
bolts. Make sure that the forks protrude from the other side of the frame. The compressor can
also be lifted after inserting beams in the slots. Make sure that the beams cannot slide and that
they protrude from the frame equally. The chains must be held parallel to the bodywork by chain
spreaders in order not to damage the compressor. The lifting equipment must be placed in such
a way that the compressor is lifted perpendicularly. Lift gently and avoid twisting.
In case of units equipped with the Lifting Device Option, it is not allowed to lift the
compressor if the canopy parts or lifting supports are not completely installed. When the
compressor is being lifted, it is also forbidden to come under the load or to perform
maintenance activities to it.
Important remark
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components from
dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when connecting the
supply cable to the compressor.

Procedure
Step Description
- Run the compressor until warm. Stop the compressor after 3 minutes of unloaded operation.
Close the air outlet valve and switch off the voltage. Wait a few minutes and depressurise by
unscrewing oil filler plug (FC) just one turn to permit any pressure in the system to escape.
- Air cooled units: loosen the vent plug (VP) of the oil cooler and wait for 5 minutes.
- Remove drain plug (DP1).
Open drain valve (Dm).
Also drain the oil by removing the drain plug:
• on the check valve (DP2)
• on the gear casing (DP3)
Step Description
- Collect the oil in a collector and deliver it to the local collection service. Refit and tighten the drain
and vent plugs after draining.
Close the drain valve (Dm).
- Remove the oil filter (OF). Be aware that this filter has a left thread connection. Clean the seat
on the manifold. Oil the gasket of the new filter and screw it into place. Tighten firmly by hand.
- Remove filler plug (FC).
Fill the air receiver (AR) with oil until the level reaches the filler neck.
Take care that no dirt drops into the system. Refit and tighten filler plug (FC).
- Run the compressor loaded for a few minutes. Stop the compressor and wait a few minutes to
allow the oil to settle.
- Depressurise the system by unscrewing filler plug (FC) just one turn to permit any pressure in the
system to escape. Remove the plug.
Fill the air receiver with oil until the level reaches the filler neck.
Tighten the filler plug.
- Reset the service warning after carrying out all service actions in the relevant Service Plan:

8.6 Coolers
General
Keep the coolers clean to maintain their efficiency.
• Remove any dirt from the coolers with a fibre brush. Brush in the direction of the cooling fins.
Also remove any dirt from the fan with a fibre brush.
• Next, clean with an air jet in the reverse direction to normal flow. Use low pressure air. If
necessary, the pressure may be increased up to 6 bar(e) (87 psig).
• If it is necessary to wash the coolers with a cleaning agent, consult Atlas Copco.
• Remove the cover used during cleaning.
• Mount the service plates (1) at the fan compartment.
Operating
Operate the safety valve by unscrewing the cap one or two turns and retighten it.
Testing
Before removing the valve, depressurise the compressor.
See section Problem solving.
Valve (SV) can be tested on a separate air line. If the valve does not open at the set pressure
stamped on the valve, it needs to be replaced.
Warning
No adjustments are allowed. Never run the compressor without safety valve.
Service kits
For overhauling and for preventive maintenance, a wide range of service kits is available. Service
kits comprise all parts required for servicing the component and offer the benefits of genuine
Atlas Copco parts while keeping the maintenance budget low.
Also a full range of extensively tested lubricants, suitable for your specific needs is available to
keep the compressor in excellent condition.
Consult the Spare Parts List for part numbers.
Procedure
Run the compressor regularly, e.g. twice a week, until warm. Load and unload the compressor a
few times.
If the compressor is going to be stored without running from time to time, protective
measures must be taken. Consult your supplier.
Used filters or any other used material (e.g. desiccant, lubricants, cleaning rags, machine parts,
etc.) must be disposed of in an environmentally friendly and safe manner, and in line with the
local recommendations and environmental legislation.
Electronic components are subject to the EU Directive 2012/19/EC for Waste Electrical and
Electronic Equipment (WEEE). As such, these parts must not be disposed of at a municipal
waste collection point. Refer to local regulations for directions on how to dispose of this product in
an environmental friendly manner.
9 Problem solving
Warning
Before carrying out any maintenance, repair work or adjustment, press the stop button,
wait until the compressor has stopped and close the air outlet valve.
Open the manual drain valve(s).
Press the emergency stop button and switch off the voltage. Open and lock the isolating
switch.
Depressurise the oil separator vessel by opening the oil filler plug one turn.
For location of components: see sections Introduction, Condensate system and Initial
start.
The air outlet valve can be locked during maintenance or repair as follows:
• Close the valve.
• Remove the screw fixing the handle with the wrench delivered with the
compressor.
• Lift the handle and turn it until the slot of the handle fits over the blocking edge on
the valve body.
• Fit the screw.
• Always switch off the voltage. Only pressing the emergency stop button is not
sufficient to make the compressor voltage free.
• If the machine is equipped with an automatic restart after voltage failure function
and if this function is active, be aware that the machine will restart automatically
when the power is restored if it was running when the power was interrupted.
10 Technical data
Important
The readings mentioned below are valid under the reference conditions (see section
Reference conditions and limitations).
Reference Reading
Air outlet pressure Modulates between programmed unloading and loading pressures.
Compressor element For air-cooled units: approx. 60 ˚C (108 ˚F) above cooling air inlet temperature
outlet temperature
Important
• The voltage on the compressor terminals must not deviate more than 10% of the
nominal voltage.
It is however highly recommended to keep the voltage drop over the supply cables
at nominal current below 5% of the nominal voltage (IEC 60204-1).
• If cables are grouped together with other power cables, it may be necessary to use
cables of a larger size than those calculated for the standard operating conditions.
• Use the original cable entry. See section Dimension drawing.
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its
components from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper
cable gland when connecting the supply cable to the compressor.
• Local regulations remain applicable if they are stricter than the values proposed
below.
• Currents are calculated with the full service factor but we suggest to add 10% due
to over- and under-voltage.
Fuses are maximum allowed values calculated for full service factor and 10%
over- and under-voltage.
• Caution:
• Always double-check the fuse size versus the calculated cable size. If
required, reduce fuse size or enlarge cable size.
• Cable length should not exceed the maximum length according to IEC60204
table 10

• Install fuses of half the size of the recommended maximum fuse size on each cable.
• When using 2 x 3 phases + PE as in (3):
• Add 10 % to the total compressor current (ItotPack or ItotFF from the tables) and divide
by √3
• Multiply the ampacity of the cables with 0.8 (see table A.52.17 (52-E1))
• Fuse size: the recommended maximum fuse size divided by √3 on each cable.
• Size of the PE cable:
• For supply cables up to 35 mm²: same size as supply cables
• For supply cables larger than 35 mm²: half the size of the supply wires
Always check the voltage drop over the cable (less than 5 % of the nominal voltage is
recommended).
Example: Itot = 89 A, maximum ambient temperature is 45 °C, recommended fuse = 100 A
• Single supply cables (3 phases + PE - configuration (1)):
• I = 89 A + 10 % = 89 x 1.1 = 97.9 A
• The table for B2 and ambient temperature = 45 ° C allows a maximum current of 93 A
for a 50 mm² cable. For a cable of 70 mm², the maximum allowed current is 118 A,
which is sufficient. Therefore, use a 3 x 70 mm² + 35 mm² cable.
If method C is used, 50 mm² is suffficient. (35 mm² for method F) => cable 3 x 50 mm²
+ 25 mm².
• Parallel supply cable (2 x 3 phases + PE - configuration (2)):
• I = (89 A + 10 %)/2 = (89 x 1.1)/2 = 49 A
• For a cable of 25 mm², B2 at 45 °C, the maximum current is 63 A x 0.8 = 50.4 A. So 2
parallel cables of 3 x 25 mm² + 25 mm² are sufficient.
• Install 50 A fuses on each cable instead of 100 A.
