Suitability/General information The German version of these instructions is the “Original instructions”. Any version in a language other than German is a “Translation of the original instruc- tions”. Aerzener rotary piston machines are suitable for the oil-free conveying and compression of air and, if specially modified versions are used, various other types of gas.
Construction, function Jet starter: Jet starter are supplied as machines to be installed. Completed with adequate accessory the screw compressor is ready for use. The screw compressors are suitable for steady operation as well as for installation in mobile compressor units. Operation in mobile units may be effected only when the running gear is in idle position.
Page 11
Function: Aerzener screw compressors are rotary piston machines whose rotors turn uniformly against each other. Timing gear wheels guarantee contact-free running of the rotors. A drive shaft including the gear ratio ensures that the rotors run at the required speed. During operation, the material to be conveyed flows through the intake flange to the housing and inlet for the rotors.
Due Care to Be Taken Before and During Operation CAUTION! Identifies all hazardous situations WARNING! Indicates direct risk to personnel Upon arrival/receipt, the rotary piston machine must be checked against the delivery and order documentation to make sure it has not been damaged during transit and is complete.
Page 13
Any operation that impairs machine safety is prohibited. The supplier documentation provided with the accessories and the general safety regulations must also be observed. The unit contains rotating components. If their protective equipment, according to the version of the unit, e.g. the acoustic hood, belt guard, coupling guard etc., are not observed or are not used appropriately, there is a Risk of injury! Protective equipment such as the belt guard/coupling guard, blower guard, hood...

unit must have read and understood the operating instructions. The unit must only be operated by trained and authorised personnel. Personnel must be trained according to the operating instructions. Responsibility for operation must be precisely defined in order to prevent any unclear designation of responsibilities.

before disassembly. Note the oil temperature when changing the oil. The oil temperature must rise above 60°C. If it is above 60°C, there is a risk of burns! Personal protective measures Conveying ducts or components on the discharge side must not be touched without adequate protection.

of glowing embers! Depending on the size and increased fire protection regulations, a flame retardant foam would be applied according to the order. Information about the event of damage If the unit produces an abnormal and/or unusual sound, the machine must be shut down immediately using the EMERGENCY BREAK function.
Inadmissible operating methods • Installation on uneven and / slanting foundations. • Securing transport devices to the acoustic hood, e.g. using eye bolts in the accou- stic hood element, winding ropes without expansion braces etc. • Non-observance of operating data. •...
Transport / Installation When transporting the machine, the following key points must be observed: • Do not expose the compressor to impact loads. • Transport the compressor using a crane, fork-lift truck, lift trolley or similar. • Use suitable hoisting gear that is appropriate for the load concerned. Failure to observe this point could result in damage or injury! •...

During installation the following points must be observed: • Prior to delivery, rotary piston machines are treated and packaged to allow for a 12-month storage period. If they are to remain in storage following this 12-month period, they will need to be retreated; see storage and mothballing guidelines TN0 1175.

Commissioning Install and assemble the compressor stage in accordance with these instructions. Assemble the driving elements correctly. CAUTION! Do not establish any connection with the driving motor yet. On first commissioning: Fill up lubricating oil on empty machines. Check lubricating oil level and correct if necessary. Check that the oil filling plug and the drain valve are seated securely and do not leak.
Switch off / shutdown • Switch off is carried out using the motor power switch. • If the drive motor is shut down in an operating position with back pressure, the pressure decelerates the compressor and brings it to a standstill more quickly. The non-return valve installed at the discharge side closes, which prevents the com- pressor from decompressing the compressed material and running in reverse.
Maintenance Maintenance is to ensure that all functions are maintained or that they can be restored after a breakdown. Maintenance includes specifications about inspection, service and repairs. Maintenance includes instructions for trained and qualified personnel. If anything is unclear consult Aerzener customer service. During inquiries please state: •...
Inspections / inspection schedule A general inspection should be carried out by a service technician from Aerzener after 3 years or 20,000 operating hours. This includes the preventive maintenance of wearing and replacement parts such as bea- rings, seal, etc. We recommend maintaining a stock of replacement and wearing parts to avoid or reduce waiting times and downtimes.
Maintenance schedule Whenever work is carried out on the rotary piston machine, it must be switched off and isolated from the electrical mains supply. Failure to observe this point could result in injury or damage. To ensure a long service life and optimum operating conditions, various steps should be taken. These include observ- ance of the maintenance operations and intervals specified in this table.
Lubricating oil specifications for VM / VML screw compressors Additives and viscosity class are the defining factors in selecting types of lubricating oil. The following oils, which are of the correct viscosity and contain appropriate additives, are to be used in accordance with the relevant operating conditions.

Oil filter • You must replace or clean the oil filter every time the lubricating oil is changed. • The fineness of the filter is 7 µm and its resistance, when clean, is around 0.2 bar. • The maximum resistance must NOT exceed 2.0 bar.
Oil pressure regulating valve • The oil pressure is determined by the setting range of the oil pressure regulating valve and the prevailing operating parameters. • The oil pressure is factory-set and must be within a limiting value range of 1.8 bar (o) and 5.0 bar (o).
8.10 Intake filter Before replacing the filter element, take the compressor unit out of operation and prevent it from being started up inadvertently. Please observe the instructions of the unit manufacturer too! • Check degree of filter soiling and replace filter cartridge if necessary, max.
8.12 High-lift spring safety relief valve Please observe the instructions of the unit manufacturer! • If the equipment downstream of this point does not feature protection to the same standard, you must install another safety relief valve after the non-return valve. •...
8.13 Drive coupling Please observe the instructions of the unit manufacturer! Whenever work is carried out on the drive coupling, the machine must be taken out of operation and correctly isolated from the mains supply. The machine must be prevented from starting up/being operated. Caution: The coupling is potentially dangerous and can sever and/or crush body parts.
