Instrument Air Compressor

Technical Description
One (1) Instrument Air Unit for the following conditions of service:
Capacity: 50 SCFM
Intake Volume @ 5 Feet & 100 Site Conditions: 70 ICFM (62.7 minimum required)
Intake Pressure: 0 PSIG
Discharge Pressure: 120 PSIG
Site Elevation: 5 Feet
Ambient Temperature: 38 to 113 F.
Electrical Classification: Class 1, Group D, Division 2, Outdoors
The proposed Instrument Air Compressor Unit would be assembled from the following
components:
2 - Quincy Model QMB-20 base mounted oil flooded rotary screw air compressor to provide 70
ICFM of free air delivered at a unit outlet pressure of 125 PSIG, complete with the following
accessories:
... 20 Hp. TEFC motor, NEMA Design B, with 1.15 service factor, 380 VAC, 3 phase, 50 Hz.,
for use in a 50 C. ambient temperature.
... Belt Driven 85 MM male rotor compressor with asymmetrical rotor profile, duplex
discharge bearings, triple lip shaft seal system, and automatic belt tensioning system. The
compressor is sheaved for 150 PSIG operating pressure, however, it will operate at 125 PSIG
operating pressure.
... Air cooled after cooler / oil cooler with fan driven from main motor shaft.
... Thermal by-pass valve for oil temperature control... NEMA 4 Compressor Control Panel
with interposing relay to interface with purchaser provided remote mounted motor starter,
power on lamp, high temperature shutdown lamp, Hand / Off / Auto selector switch, Lead /
Lag switch, and hourmeter. The motor starter for the compressor motor would be furnished &
installed by others in the MCC. The compressor panel uses an Allen-Bradley MicroLogix
1000 programmable logic controller for the principal control element. The PLC and all other
panel components are UL Listed for Class 1, group B, C, & D hazardous locations. The panel
is equipped with a summary alarm relay for remote indication of the compressor status.
... Minimum pressure check valve
... Factory fill with Quin-Syn synthetic lubricant.
... ASME "UV" rated discharge pressure safety valve
... Two stage air/oil separator rated to less than 1.5 PPM oil carryover with the discharge air
... Heavy duty inlet air filter
... 12 Month manufacturer's warranty

Each Quincy compressor would be provided with the following indicators and alarm devices:
Discharge air temperature indicator, panel mounted
Discharge air pressure indicator, panel mounted
Air / oil separator differential indicator, local mounted
Lubricant filter differential pressure indicator, local mounted
Air filter differential indicator, panel mounted
Each compressor would be furnished mounted on a 200 Gallon horizontal air receiver. One air
receiver would be used as a wet air receiver and the other would be used as a would be used as
"dry" air receiver. The wet air receiver would be equipped with an float type drainer with inlet
isolating valve and inlet strainer.
1 - Thermal Transfer Products Model AHP-400 air cooled auxiliary aftercooler with furnace
brazed construction, 250 PSIG MAWP, 3/4 Hp. 3000 RPM, 380 VAC, 3 phase, 50 Hz. fan motor
for use in a 50 C ambient, and a United J120 temperature switch to sense inlet air temperature to
the auxiliary aftercooler. The auxiliary aftercooler fan would be cycled on when the inlet air
temperature is in excess of 95 F. and turned off when the inlet air temperature drops to 90 F.
The auxiliary after cooler is sized for a 5 F approach to ambient air temperature. With a 113 F.
maximum ambient, the use of the auxiliary aftercooler precludes the need to oversize the air
dryer because ambient air temperatures are in excess of 120 F. and / or the use of a special
desiccant for high temperatures. A BASCO moisture separator with a float type drainer will be
installed on either side of the auxiliary aftercooler to remove and decant condensed moisture.
Each moisture separator will be provided with ball valves for isolation & by-pass.
1 1 Pneumatech Model P4C-60-15 coalescing type pre-filter with Grade G6 filter element,
integral differential pressure indicator, and a Circle S Products Type S float drainer to discharge
accumulated liquids. This filter is rated @ 100 SCFM capacity at 100 PSIG operating pressure.
The MAWP of the filter housing is 500 PSIG is @ 200 F. The filter is equipped with inlet and
outlet isolating valves and a by-pass valve.
1 - Pneumatech Model EH-50 heatless regenerative air dryer, NEMA 4 controls with modular
epoxy potted electronic cycle timer for use in a Division 2 area, twin desiccant tower design, 150
PSIG MAWP, for 120 VAC, 1 phase 60 Hz. power, and rated as follows:
Capacity: 50 SCFM @ 120 PSIG
MAWP: 175 PSIG
Operating Pressure: 120 PSIG
Inlet Temperature: 70 to 120 F.
Design Inlet Air Water Content: Saturated
Design Outlet Dewpoint: -40 F
Purge Flow: 7 SCFM
The air dryer piping includes a three valve block & bypass with piping which allows isolation
& by-passing of the dryer for maintenance. The air dryer uses a conventional 10 minute NEMA
drying cycle time.

1 - 1" Pneumatech Model P4P-60-15 afterfilter to remove desiccant dust from the outlet air
stream with an integral differential pressure indicator. This filter is rated @ 166 SCFM capacity
at 100 PSIG operating pressure. The MAWP of the filter housing is 500 PSIG is @ 200 F. The
filter is equipped with inlet and outlet isolating valves and a by-pass valve.
1 - Piping assembly with 2000# A-105 forged steel fittings and A-106B seamless pipe and
nipples. Valves are provided to isolate each compressor. All manual valves are Apollo brand 70100 series threaded bronze ball valves. The dry instrument air outlet connection is a 1-1/2"
threaded connection at a manual valve.
1 - Fabricated steel skid base (estimated skid base size 6 -0" W x 20'-0" L) with lift lugs for 4
point lift and a containment pan below the compressors to contain any compressor oil leakage.
The unit would be assembled, aligned, primed and painted. The unit would be test run prior to
shipment to verify control function & operational integrity. The unit would be primed with our
standard red epoxy primer & painted with a high gloss Hanover Tan polyurethane topcoat. The
Quincy air compressor would not be painted.
Please Note:
1. This offer includes 5 copies of certified drawings, spare parts, lists for one years operation,
and operating & maintenance instructions on a CD-ROM.
2. The proposed instrument air compressor unit requires three 220 VAC feeder circuits. Each air
compressor panel would require one feeder and the air dryer panel would require the last feeder.
3. The compressor control panel provides Form "A" contacts to interface with the purchaser's
motor starter. Each air compressor has a 20 Hp. compressor driver.
4. Form "C" contacts are provided for external indication of an alarm or shutdown condition for
each compressor panel.
5. Motor starters are furnished and installed off skid in the MCC.
6. This offer does not include any heat tracing or insulation for freeze protection. There is no
need for insulation for personnel protection as all "hot" components are enclosed by the
compressor enclosure.
