PISTON COMPRESSORS

Coaxial, Direct, Silent, Oil free

 MEGA AIR PISTON COMPRESSORS

Air compressors are used in a wide range of applications — from corner gas stations to major manufacturing plants. And, more and more, air
compressors are finding their way into home workshops, basements and garages. Models sized to handle every job, from inflating pool toys to
powering tools such as nail guns, sanders, drills, impact wrenches, staplers and spray guns are now available through local home centres, tool
dealers and mail-order catalogues.
The big advantage of air power is that each tool doesn’t need its own bulky motor. Instead, a single motor on the compressor converts the
electrical energy into kinetic energy. Light, compact, easy-to-handle tools can run quietly and have fewer parts that wear out.
Each compressor type is designed for low maintenance in its field of operation, ensuring long intervals between servicing and easy access for
technicians. Compressor range offering oil-less, oil-free, and oil-lubricated design give you full control over gas purity levels. That extends all
the way to the stringent ISO class-zero standard. Thanks to proven piston-compression design, our equipment provides high reliability in your
operation. Towards that goal, we draw from years of experience in air.

AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP

Air compressor pump is the main part of the air compressor. One or more pistons
compress the air taken from the environment and deliver it to the tank.

AIR DELIVERYY PIPE

ressed
Air delivery part connects the air compressor pump unit to the tank – the compressed
air is delivered from the compressor pump to the tank.

NON RETURN VALVE

m
The non return valve is a one way valve that allows the air in one direction only (from
the compressor pump to the tank).

THE GAUGES
A gauge indicates the pressure of the air inside the tank. The other
one indicates the outlet regulated air pressure.

PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch controls the compressor by switching the machine
off when the pressure inside the tank reaches the set value. It restarts
the compressor when the compressed air is used and the air pressure
drops under set value.

AIR TANK
Air tank stores the accumulated
compressed air ready to use.

CONDENSATE OUTLET

A reciprocating compressor or piston compressor is a positive-displacement compressor that uses pistons driven by a crankshaft to deliver
gases at high pressure.
The intake gas enters the suction manifold, then flows into the compression cylinder where it gets compressed by a piston driven in a
reciprocating motion via a crankshaft, and is then discharged. Applications include oil refineries, gas pipelines, chemical plants, natural gas
processing plants and refrigeration plants. One specialty application is the blowing of plastic bottles made of polyethylene terephthalate
(PET).
In the ionic liquid piston compressor many seals and bearings were removed in the design as the ionic liquid does not mix with the gas.
Service life is about 10 times longer than a regular diaphragm compressor with reduced maintenance during use, energy costs are reduced by
as much as 20%. The heat exchangers that are used in a normal piston compressor are removed as the heat is removed in the cylinder itself
where it is generated. Almost 100% of the energy going into the process is being used with little energy wasted as reject heat.

BELT GUARD
Protects against accidental contact with moving parts and directs cooling air to the areas
where heat is generated.

ELECTRIC
ELEC MOTOR
Transmits
Transm movement to the air compressor pump unit directly (direct driven
comp
compressors) or through the belt (belt driven compressors).

PRESSURE REDUCER
Pressure reducer reduces the pressure of the air discharged
from the tank and adjusts it according to the application.

AIR OUTLET
Air outlet is a connection to the air-powered tool.

Coaxial driven compressors

Direct-transmission compressors have a compressor pump connected directly to the motor, which means that compact
design has no transmission loss.

The shape of the plastic cover allows greater cooling through the compressor head itself, which ensures better compressed
air quality and longer compressor lifetime. Compressors feature high efficiency, extremely easy to use and maintain.

The family of compressors with direct transmission combines applications suitable for hobby as well as for semi-
professional use.
Direct-transmission compressors have a single-phase motor with overheating protection and auto-restart. Depending
on the power of the compressor, the cylinders are made of the aluminium or cast iron.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE NOTES
Pressure relief valve
The pressure relief valve is an automatic valve. Each valve is properly
adjusted for the maximum pressure permitted by tank specifications and
working pressure of the unit on which it is installed. If it should pop, it will
be necessary to drain all the air out of the tank in order to reset properly.
Do not readjust.
Tank drain valve
Drain valve is located at bottom of tank. Open drain valve daily to drain
condensation.
Pressure switch
The pressure switch is automatic and will start compressor at low pressure
and stop when the maximum pressure is reached. It is adjusted to start
and stop compressor at the proper pressure for the unit on which it is
installed. Do not readjust.
Belts
Drive belts must be kept tight enough to prevent slipping. If belts slip or
squeak, see V-belt maintenance in preceding section.
Caution
If belts are too tight, overload will be put on motor and motor bearings.
Compressor valves
If compressor fails to pump air or seems slow in filling up tank, disconnect
from power source, drain air tank, and remove valves and clean thoroughly,
using compressed air and a soft wire brush. After cleaning, exceptional
care must be taken that all parts are replaced in exactly the same position
and all joints must be tight, or the compressor will not function properly.
When all valves are replaced, perform a timed pump-up test and check to
see that it meets factory specifications. Valve gaskets should be replaced
each time valves are removed from pump.
