COMPRESSOR OPERATION Compressor Operation HERTZ HDD and HVD Direct Drive Series which is the screw air compressor series of HERTZ that is built with quality components and durability that has been proven for years. 3.2.1 Drive and Control HERTZ HDD and HVD Direct Drive Series compressors are powered by an electric motor which provides the mechanical drive force required for the screw unit to produce the compressed air.
COMPRESSOR OPERATION 3.2.2 Pressure System The pressure system comprises of a screw unit, separator, tank, separator and minimum pressure valve and oil return (scavenge) line circuit. When there is pressure inside the compressor, do not attempt to remove any cover or part. First stop the compressor, and be sure that the entire pressure is eliminated.
Page 21
COMPRESSOR OPERATION ➢ The air-oil mixture in the separator tank goes to the separator filter. The specially designed separator filter keeps the airborne oil particles outside, so that only pure air can enter inside. ➢ In the course of this filtering process, a negligible amount of oil penetrates into the separator, and accumulates under the filter.
COMPRESSOR OPERATION Intake and Control System It filters any harmful dusts that may be sucked by the compressor from the external environment, so that the compressor works at the preset pressure interval. This system comprises of two subassemblies, i.e. the Intake System and the Intake Control System. Figure 5 Intake system 3.3.1 Intake System The abrasives in the air drawn by the compressor enter any point where the oil penetrates in...
COMPRESSOR OPERATION 3.3.2 Intake Control System The intake control system comprises of an intake regulator, solenoid valves, control airline hoses and safety pressure switch. It uses the pressure switch to be able to obtain the pressure information in systems with electronic control module and inverter. The intake control system aims at operating the compressor in a most cost efficient manner.
COMPRESSOR OPERATION ➢ The air-oil mixture is sprayed from the screw unit into the separator tank. Thanks to the special design of the separator tank, the air flow formed inside the tank ensures that the oil particles in the air-oil mixture become heavier by combining and are diverted onto the inner surface of the tank. In this way, the oil does not entirely attack onto the separator so that the separator smoothly operates for long times.
The water cooled systems cool down the compressed air generated by the oil circulating in the oil circuit and the system with the help of an exchanger. These systems are optional in HERTZ screw-type compressors and provide more efficient system cooling with the help of the exchangers designed specially according to the capacity of the machine.
Remember to wash the heat exchanger thoroughly with clean water after use. Using a 1- 2% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution or a sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) solution before the final rinse guarantees neutralization of the acid. Clean at regular intervals Contact HERTZ technical service department for more information on cleaning CSHE's.
OPTIONAL COOLING SYSTEM Heat Recovered Systems 4.2.1 Heat Recovery in Air Cooled Screw-Type Compressors • In the Air Cooled screw-type compressors, the cooling air entering into the compressor is used for cooling the compressor oil and the compressed air. • During this process, the cooling air entering into the compressor with the ambient temperature rises up to 104°F-122°F (+40 - 50 C ) before leaving the compressor.
OPTIONAL COOLING SYSTEM a- Heating the Environments: The simplest way of heat recovery in oil or fluid cooled screw-type compressors is using the cooling air heated by the compressor directly. In this process, the hot air is transferred to the places to be heated through an air duct system.

As the compressor is a complicated machine, any maintenance to be carried by the unauthorized and non-trained people would render the entire warranty invalid, and possibly result in damages and injuries. Please call your HERTZ KOMPRESSOREN customer service for the compressor maintenance. HERTZ KOMPRESSOREN USA, Inc.
MAINTENANCE Safety during maintenance ➢ Before maintenance, make sure that the power supply to the compressor relieve the system of all pressure, is connect, lockout and tag out the power supply to the compressor package before removing valves, caps, plugs, fittings, bolts and filters. Place a warning sign, plate etc. in a visible place on the compressor to show that the maintenance work is in progress.
MAINTENANCE 9.2.3 Every 2000 hours operation or 6 months ➢ As indicated by the controller, replace the oil filter element (See, Figure 21). If it does not reach 2000 hours within 6 months, replace it once 6 months at any rate. ➢...
➢ Check hoses, replace if necessary. Maintenance Instructions 9.3.1 Compressor Oil Your compressors use HERTZ SMARTOIL 6000 branded full synthetic compressor oil. As can be seen below, these are special lubricants produced in consideration of the compressor operation mode. ➢ As the oils and lubricants of different type and characteristics also differ as of chemical composition and additives, mixing them with each other or use different types of oils in the compressor would cause damages of high cost.
Page 68
Oxidation Resistance: The air compression releases high temperatures. The oil not properly protected against oxidation is rapidly oxidized and starts accumulating some points. It in turn results in lower performance, wears and increased maintenance costs. HERTZ Smartoil 6000 prevents or minimizes the oxidation thanks to its additive contents.
MAINTENANCE 9.3.2 Oil Replacement Replace the oil in the compressor at suitable intervals for the oil type used. Figure 20 Oil Discharge Figure 19 Oil Filling ➢ Shut down the compressor. ➢ If the compressor is cold (not working), first operate it for 5 to 10 minutes to warm the oil, and then switch off it.
Restart the compressor and check it for leaks. Figure 21 Oil Filter Replacement Always use the genuine HERTZ spare parts to minimize the risk of damage on the oil filter element and compressor. The other brand filter elements may not have satisfactory...
MAINTENANCE 9.3.4 Panel filter and control box filter replacement ➢ The ventilation fan of your compressor needs high amount of free air. The operation of this filter causes the compressor to take in the dust of working environment. Depending on the degree of dustiness in the operating space, the panel filter may be rapidly clogged.
MAINTENANCE 9.3.5 Air filter replacement ➢ The air filter inside the compressor aims at holding the dust before entering the compressor air filter. Apply compressed air outwardly to clean the air filter. ➢ In cases where the air filter is not properly cleaned, the separator filter used in separation of oil and air from each other is rapidly clogged.
MAINTENANCE 9.3.7 Replacement of Separator Element Regularly replace the separator element once a year. It is impossible to clean this filter. To replace the separator element: Spin-On type separators used; • Stop the compressor, and wait for the complete discharge of the internal pressure. •...
MAINTENANCE In nested type separators used; • Stop the compressor and close the outlet valve. • Check that the inner pressure in the separator tank is released completely. • Remove connections of all equipment connected to the separator cover, cover bolts and the cover itself.
MAINTENANCE 9.3.8 Maintenance of the Cooling Radiator ➢ The panel filter should be routinely cleaned to keep the radiator clean. ➢ As the cooling air flows between the cooling radiator slices, some quantity of dust may enter between the slices, and clog the radiator slices like in the panel filter. Apply (from outside to inside) pressurized air between the slices at the back of the radiator for cleaning.
MAINTENANCE 9.3.9 Maintenance Of The Separator Oil Return Line (Scavenge) ➢ While the separator filter separates the air from oil, some oil penetrates inside from the filter element. This oil is recycled into the system through the oil return line. ➢...
MAINTENANCE 9.3.10 Intake Valve Maintenance Kit Intake Valve kit replacement is performed every 8000 hours or 12 month whichever occurs first. All parts in the kit must be replaced together. Failure to replace the intake valve repair kit on time can cause permanent damages to the compressor and downtime.
