Recommended Maintenance; Daily Maintenance Checklist - GE H301 Series Operating Manual

98 | Chapter 8: Maintenance
Select and use appropriate sealants and O-ring lubricants
compatible with the gasket and O-ring materials to:
(1) improve sealing and life of the gasket or O-ring material
and (2) aid in the removal of the gasket or O-ring during
Always use OEM O-rings of the specified material and
durometer hardness to ensure reliable leak free connections.

Recommended Maintenance

The frequency of a compressor's maintenance intervals is determined by a
number of factors, including, but not limited to, its physical operating environment,
actual operating conditions and the degree of gas contaminants. If performed and
documented properly, a compressor's maintenance history aids in troubleshooting
situations.
The following typical maintenance program is offered as a basic guide and may be
expanded due to actual operating conditions. Time intervals begin with the startup
of the compressor package. This program assumes the compressor operates
continuously, so the time hour intervals are loosely tied to daily, monthly, quarterly,
semi-annual and annual time intervals. If maintenance is performed on hourly-
based time frames, refer to the associated time interval column.

Daily maintenance Checklist

Maintenance checks – daily
Frame oil supply pressures, 45 to 55 Psig (310 to 379 kpa) adjust pressure
regulating valve as required when the compressor is operating at normal
speed and temperature. Note: 30 Psig (207 kp) falling pressure = minimum
Low Oil Pressure Shutdown.
Frame oil supply temperature; adjust cooling water flow as required. Note:
Maximum 185°F (85°C) – high temp shutdown. 150°F (66°C) Minimum.
Cooling water flow/temperature, for oil cooler, if used.
Frame oil level, mid-level of sight glass – hot.
Oil filter differential pressure, filter housing pointer or gauge(s). Note: Change
filter element if differential pressure exceeds 10 Psid (69 kpa).
Cylinder lubricator box cycle time, seconds/cycle (Max. 100 sec/cycle).
Note: See job book for compressor specific break-in and normal lube rates.
Cylinder lubricator oil supply level, if separate day tank used.
Compressor Leaks – oil, gas or water, correct as required.
