Product description 2.2 Function description

Function principle The air end operates according to the displacement principle. In the housing,
of the air end the main and secondary screws are driven by means of an electric motor
and V-belt.
Both screws have screw-shaped profiles, intermeshing without contact.
Together with the housing wall, these screws form chambers which gradually
reduce in size, seen in air flow direction.
Rotation of the rotors causes the air taken in to be compressed to the final
pressure in the chambers.
During compression oil is continuously injected into the air end. This having
a cooling, sealing and lubricating function.

Components of
the air circuit

1 = Intake filter
The intake filter cleans the air suctioned by the air end.
2 = Intake regulator
The intake regulator opens (load operation) or closes (idling operation or
standstill) the suction line depending on the operating condition of the com-
pressor.
3 = Air end
The air end compresses the suctioned air.
4 = Compressed air/oil receiver
The compressed air separates from the oil under the force of gravity in the
compressed air/oil receiver.
5 = Oil separator
The oil separator separates the residual oil contained in the compressed air.
6 = Minimum pressure check valve
The minimum pressure check valve does not open until the system pressure
has increased to 3.5 bar. This causes a rapid build-up of the system pressure
and ensures lubrication in the starting phase. Once the compressor has
been switched off, the check valve prevents the compressed air from flowing
back out of the mains line.
7 = Compressed air after-cooler (air and water cooled)
The compressed air is cooled in the compressed air after-cooler, causing
the water contained in the air to condensate.
8 = Stop valve
The screw compressor may be isolated from the mains by means of the stop
valve.

Product description 2.2 Function description

Oil circuit The oil injected into the air end has the following function:
– It dissipates the compression heat (cooling)
– It seals the gaps between the screws and between the screws and
housing
– It lubricates the bearings

Fig. 2.2:
Components of the oil circuit

1 = Compressed air/oil receiver


The oil separated from the compressed air through the force of gravity collects
in the compressed air/oil receiver.
The system pressure forces it out of the receiver into the air end.
2 = Thermostatic oil control valve
Depending on the oil temperature, the thermostatic oil control valve either
allows the oil to pass through the oil cooler or through a bypass (e.g. in the
starting phase).
Thus the oil constantly maintains its optimum operating temperature.
3 = Oil cooler (air or water cooled)
The oil cooler cools down the hot oil to operating temperature.
4 = Oil filter
The oil filter traps impurities in the oil.
5 = Air end
The injected oil returns to the compressed air/oil receiver together with the
compressed air. There, it is separated through the force of gravity.
6 = Drainage line
The air end suctions the residual oil which collects in the oil separator back
into the oil circuit via a drainage line.

Product description 2.3 Compressor control

Supply pressure For the compressor, the pressure downstream of the check valve is termed
the supply pressure. The control system switches the compressor on and off
during operation depending on the supply pressure.

Operating states All screw compressor controls are based on three basic operating states:
1. Load operation
– The compressor delivers its maximum amount of compressed air.
– It consumes its maximum energy.
2. Idling operation
– The compressor runs but does not deliver any compressed air.
– It consumes approx. 75% less energy than in load operation.
– When compressed air is required, it switches to load operation without
delay.
– Idling operation reduces switching frequencies which can damage the
drive motor, and reduces wear of the system.
3. Standstill ready for operation
– The compressor is standing still but ready for operation.
– When compressed air is required, it switches automatically to load
operation.

Operating modes The two most important operating modes are achieved by combining the
three operating states:
1. Intermittent operation
In intermittent operation the energy balance is perfect.
– The compressor operates in load operation.
– Upon reaching the switch-off pressure pmax the compressor switches to
standstill. It does not consume any energy.
– Once the pressure has dropped to the switch-on pressure pmin the com-
pressor switches back to load operation.
2. Continuous operation
Continuous operation limits the drive motor switching cycles and reduces
wear to the system.
– The compressor operates in load operation.
– Upon reaching the switch-off pressure pmax the compressor switches to
idling operation.
– Once the pressure has dropped to the switch-on pressure pmin the com-
pressor switches from idling operation back to load operation.

Short operating ATTENTION!


times During short operating times, the compressor does not reach its operating
temperature. It operates below the dew point. The generated condensate
mixes with the oil. The lubricating ability of the oil is reduced. This leads to
damage on the air end.
It is of utmost importance to consult BOGE, if you operate your system with
short operating times.

Product description 2.4 Control devices

Operating pressure Operating pressue switch Q controls compressor operation within the set
switch switching limits.

Switch-on pressure pmin


If the supply pressure drops to the set switch-on pressure pmin, the compres-
1
sor switches on.

Switch-off pressure pmax


If the supply pressure increases to the switch-off pressure pmax, the compres-
sor either switches off (intermittent operation) or switches to idling operation
(continuous operation).

Master control 1 and 2 (option)


An additional pressure switch is required on the compressed air receiver or
at a suitable location (compressed air mains) for each compressor in case a
higher ranking control concept for several compressors is provided.

Proportional controller The proportional controller is an additional control device intervening in the
(option) sequences of the intake regulator.
The intake regulator only opens as far as necessary to supply the current
compressed air requirement. Thus the compressor saves compression
energy.
A compressor with proportional controller is able to supply its ’delivered
quantity variable between 0% and 100%. However, the energy consumption
does not reduce accordingly. Therefore, a control is only practical between
50% and 100% of the delivered quantity.
The proportional controller is factory set to a delivered quantity between
50% and 100% of the compressor capacity.
The proportional controller closes when the desired delivered quantity has
dropped below 50% of the compressor capacity. The compressor then oper-
ates in idling operation (continuous operation) or switches off (intermittent
operation).

Delivery volume display The proportional controller is equipped with a delivery volume display.
The delivery volume display is located behind the operating and control field.
The rings indicate the present delivery volume of the compressor.

blue red: 25% of the delivery volume
blue: 50% of the delivery volume

Product description 2.5 Safety and monitoring devices

General The safety devices guarantee a high degree of operational safety, in connec-
tion with the BOGE ARS monitoring system.
When one of the safety devices responds, the control system reacts as
follows:
– The compressor is immediately switched off.
– A flashing fault number in the left field of the display indicates the cause
of the fault.

ATTENTION!
Do not operate the compressor without built-in safety devices.
Do not dismantle the safety devices or put them out of operation.

Safety temperature Safety temperature limiting device switches off the compressor once the
limiting device maximum admissible final compression temperature has been reached.
The compressor does not switch on when dropping below the minimum
temperature.
– Switch off the compressor (OFF button). Fault is acknowledged.
– Rectify the fault.
– Switch on the compressor (ON button).

Safety valve Safety valve Q on the compressed air/oil receiver prevents the maximum
admissible pressure being exceeded. When the maximum pressure is ex-
ceeded (e.g. incorrect setting of the operating pressure switch), the entire
1 delivery volume of the compressor is ejected.

Monitoring The following monitoring devices are standard for BOGE ARS control sys-
the drive motor tems:
The drive motor is monitored by PTC resistors.

Installation conditions – Protect compressed air receivers against damage through mechanical
for compressed air effects (e.g. falling objects).
receivers – Operate the compressed air receiver and its equipment from a safe
location.
– Adhere to safety areas and safety clearances.
– Ensure that the compressed air receiver stands securely. It must not shift
or tilt due to external forces. This also includes the additional weight dur-
ing a pressure test!
– Ensure that the compressed air receiver is easily accessible from all sides
(for recurring tests).
– Ensure that the factory label is clearly visible.
– Ensure that compressed air receivers are adequatly protected against
corrosion.

Installation surface A level industrial floor without foundation is adequate for the installation of the
compressor. No special fastening elements are required.

Fire protection The following applies to rooms in which compressors with oil injection cool-
ing are to be installed:
– For compressors with motor ratings exceeding 40 kW, ensure that the
compressor room is equipped with special fire protection.
– Install compressors with motor ratings exceeding 100 kW in a separate
fire protected room.

Requirements of fire protected compressor rooms:


– Walls, ceilings, floor and doors must be designed in fire protection
class F30 or higher.
– Flammable liquids must never be stored in the compressor room.
– The floor around the compressor must be made of non-flammable
material.
– Leaking oil must not spread out over the floor.
– No inflammable materials must be located within a radius of at least

environmental
influences Admissible ambient temperatures
Maximum ambient temperature (for air cooling): + 40°C
Minimum ambient temperature: + 5°C

ATTENTION!
Nonobservance of the admissible ambient temperature may lead to the
following problems:
– The compressor will switch off when the admissible final compres-
sion temperature is exceeded or gone below.
– Pipe lines and valves will freeze up at low temperatures.
– Damage due to reduced lubricating ability of the compressor oil.

Measures to be taken to ensure that admissible ambient temperatures


are observed:
– Avoid any pipe lines or units radiating heat in the vicinity of the compres-
sor, or insulate them well.
– Never install the compressor in the cooling air flow of other machines.
– Provide the supply air openings with adjustable louvres to ensure that
the minimum temperature is not gone below in winter.

Ventilation If the following instructions are not observed, the admissible final
compression temperature may be exceeded.
In this case, the compressor will switch off automatically.

Attention!
Arrange the compressor intake openings or ducts such, that dangerous
admixtures (e.g. explosive or chemically unstable materials) cannot be
drawn in.

Ventilation openings (free-standing installation)

Supply and exhaust air ducts


– Ensure that the flow rates in the ducts do not exceed 4 m/s.
– Never position cooling air ducts directly on the compressor.
Always use a compensator to avoid distortion and the transfer of vibrations.

Ventilators
Ensure that the heated exhaust air is not aken in again.
If necessary, the heated air must be extracted by ventilators.
To ensure perfect cooling even at higher temperatures in the summer, the
ventilators must be designed as follows:
– The ventilator capacity must be rated approx. 10 - 15% higher than the
sum of the cooling air quantity required for all machines operated in the
room (VDMA Code of Practice sheet 4363 “Ventilation of compressor
rooms”).
– For free-standing installation, the cooling air requirement specified in the
table corresponds to the required ventilator capacity.

Supply air filter


– Equip the compressor with supply air filter mats if the compressor room
is contaminated with dust (option).

Cooling air requirement Please refer to the following table for the cooling air requirement and size of
the supply air openings for your compressor. Ensure that flaps and weather
protection grids have the necessary free cross section. We generally recom-
mend contacting a specialist company for performing the duct construction

In the winter, the hot exhaust air is used for room heating. In summer it is
directed into the open.

Condensate The air taken in contains water in form of vapour, which turns into conden-
disposal sation during compression.

ATTENTION!
The condensate contains oil. Never lead it into the public sewage system
without prior treatment.
Strictly observe the effluent disposal laws of your local authorities.

Oil-water separator
The BOGE-ÖWAMAT separates the oil from the condensate.
The cleaned water may be fed directly into the public sewage system.

Autotronic – Ratiotronic 4.1 The BOGE ARS control concept

These operating instructions contain a description of the Autotronic


and Ratiotronic control system. Due to its scope, a separate document
deals with SUPERTRONIC controls.

General BOGE screw compressors are equipped with the modern ARS control sys-
tem concept (Autotronic, Ratiotronic, Supertronic).
One of these control systems will be built into your compressor, depending
on the desired equipment and the monitoring functions.
ARS is an integrated control and monitoring concept, having two objectives:
– Energy savings and thus reduction of ongoing costs
– Prolonging the service life of the compressor due to wear which is as low
as possible
All programmed data is stored in a memory module (EEPROM), which can
be written on electrically and deleted.
Thus the stored information is even available following a power failure.

Micro-controller The BOGE ARS control system concept dynamically adapts to the respec-
tive operating conditions. A micro-controller assumes the following three
tasks:
1. Dynamic full load/idling control system
The micro-controller continuously determines the current consumption
trend of the plant. It automatically adjusts to alterations in the compressed
air requirement as this varies throughout the day.
2. Automatic selection of the most economical operating mode
The micro-controller calculates the optimum operating mode from the
current operating state and a programmed ideal value, also taking into
account the constant compressor system data (e.g. delivery quantity,
receiver volume, motor switching cycles) as well as the current variables
(e.g. compressed air consumption, supply and non-supply times, pressure
increase and decrease speed).
In order to save operating costs, it always strives for the most economical
intermittent operation.
3. Automatic optimization of the motor switching cycles
The micro-controller calculates the optimum number of motor switching
cycles. This protects the drive motor and prolongs the service life of the
plant.

Modular design All ARS control systems comprise of standard components which can be
purchased separately. They are also easy to retrofit. In this manner, the
control systems can be optimally adapted to individual customer wishes.
Rapid replaceability of the controls in the event of failures increases the
availability of the compressor. This eliminates time consuming and costly
trouble shooting by specialists.

Autotronic – Ratiotronic 4.4 Programming the control system

General On the basis of the current operating data, the control system calculates the
optimum operating mode and selects it automatically.
The parameters can be set.
The parameters are divided into two groups, in order to prevent accidentally
altering the preset parameter values.
The operator may alter the parameter values directly in the operating level.
Altering the parameter values in the service level may lead to damage to
the compressor. Therefore, the service level is protected by a code number.
These parameters can only be accessed by BOGE service technicians.

ATTENTION!
Never alter the value of a parameter if you are not aware of its precise signifi-
cance! Otherwise this could result in a completely false regulating behaviour
of the control system!
Never experiment with the settings of the parameter values!
If in doubt, call the BOGE Service.

Programming steps Invoking the programming mode


The programming mode is only accessible when the compressor is switched
off.

– Press the INFO and OFF buttons simultaneously for approx. 5 seconds.
+ The control sytem changes to the programming mode.
The value set for the first parameter appears in the display.

Altering the set parameter value


– ON button: increase parameter value

– OFF button: decrease parameter value

Accepting set parameter value


– Press INFO button.
The set parameter value is stored.
The display jumps to the next parameter.

Exit the programming mode


Pressing the INFO button always causes the next parameter to be invoked.
When the INFO button is pressed at the last parameter, the control system
automatically returns to its original status.

Auto-Ratio.pm6.5 - 01/2001 - GB
Autotronic – Ratiotronic 4.4 Programming the control system

Variable parameters in You can alter the following parameters without entering a code:
the operator level
Parameter 05, star/delta switch-over time
The start-up time of the motor is adapted to the operating conditions by
means of the star/delta switch-over time.
The star delta switch-over time is the time span between the point in time
when the motor is switched on and the time when the drive motor reaches
its rated speed. During this time, the motor is operated in a star connection,
to avoid high start-up currents and overload of the electrical network.
Once this switch-over time has elapsed, the motor is switched to delta con-
nection.
If the drive motor requires a longer start-up time due to undervoltage or inad-
equate temperatures, the control system switches over to delta connection
too early and high peak current will occur.
Extend the star/delta switch-over time if the drive motor switches to
delta operation before reaching its rated speed.

Parameter 06, after-run time


The length of the after-run time influences the switching frequency of the
compressor in intermittent operation.
During the after-run time the compressor operates in idle mode. It dissipates
the residual heat and relieves the system to ensure that it does not have to
act against the pressure during the next supply phase.

Short after-run time (high switching frequency):


The compressor switches off after the first supply stage.
Shortly afterwards it starts up for the second supply stage.

Long after-run time (reduced switching frequency):


The compressor goes from the first supply stage to the second without
switching.
Extend the after-run time when the compressor frequently switches off
and on again in intermittent operation

Parameter 13, percentual intermittent operation proportion (IO)


When the intermittent operation proportion is reduced, the control system
control characteristic increasingly approaches the continuous operation.
Reduce the intermittent operation proportion if brief down times fre-
quently occur at a very irregular compressed air requirement.

Maintenance 6.1 Safety instructions

ATTENTION!
Ensure that maintenance work is ony carried out by specialists or appro-
priately trained person.
– Prior to starting any maintenance work, always stop the compressor as
described in these operating instructions prior to removing any cladding
or safety devices. Refit the cladding or safety devices immediately upon
completion of the maintenance work.
– Only use original spare parts, compressor oils and operating materials
released by BOGE for the maintenance work.
– When the automatic restart (AWAL) is activated, the compressor will
start automatically following a voltage loss.
Prerequisite: The line pressure is lower than the switch-on pressure set
on the operating pressure switch.

CAUTION: Risk of injury!


Always adhere to the prescribed operating method described below for
all maintenance work. Never omit a single safety step!
Otherwise you will risk injury from restarting, electric shock or parts
which may fly off.

Prior to all maintenance work:


1. Switch off the compressor using the OFF button.
2. Switch off the main switch and secure against unintentional switching
on.
3. Check to ensure that all machine elements are definitely isolated.
4. Separate the compressor from the compressed air network by closing
the ball valve at the compressed air outlet.
5. Vent the compressor.
To this effect open the safety valve on the combined compressed air-
oil receiver as follows:
– Turn the knurled nut counterclockwise until you can feel a resilient
resistance.
– Tun the knurled nut a little further.
Any possibly existing air will escape.
The system pressure gauge will indicate a pressure of 0 bar.
– Once the residual air has completely escaped from the system, firmly
retighten the knurled nut.
6. Remove all cladding necessary to perform the maintenance work.

Once the maintenance work has been concluded:


7. Reattach all removed cladding.
8. Open the ball valve at the compressed air outlet.
9. Prior to switching on again, check whether anyone else is working on
the compressor!

Building up a pressure cushion


The combined compressed air / oil receiver is located at the lowest point of
the system. Therefore, a light pressure cushion (approx. 1.5 bar system
pressure) must be applied to drain the oil. This pressure cushion forces the
oil through the drain hose into a suitable collecting basin.

– Switch off the copressor using the OFF button.

CAUTION: Risk of injury!


Switch off the main switch and secure against unintentional switch-on.

To drain off old oil:


– Switch off the compressor. After approx. 2 seconds, screw the cap nut U
onto the air bleed aperture of the magnetic valve. (The cap nut is in the
switch cabinet storage bin).
– Remove the blind plug Q at the oil drain with the ball tap S closed.
– Attach the oil drainage hose R. (On sound-insulated compressors the oil
drainage hose is located below the motor rocker, and in the air inlet box
on super-sound-insulated models).
– Put the other end of the hose in a suitable container.
– Slowly open the stop-cock.
– The reserve pressure forces the oil out into the container.
– When the pneumatic oil tank is completely empty, close the stop-cock.
– Remove the drainage hose and replace the blind plug with a new copper
seal.
– Remove the cap nut from the magnetic valve.
– Change the oil filter (see page 6.10).

Checking / setting the Check: – After approx. 3000 operating hours,


operating pressure however, at least once a year.
switch Set: – When switch-off or switch-on pressure does not coincide
with the set point values.

Set point values (factory setting):


Switch-on pressure: pmin = Final compression pressure - 1 bar
Switch-off pressure: pmax = Final compression pressure

ATTENTION!
Never set operating pressure switch higher than the admissible final com-
pression pressure (see type plate).

Checking the operating pressure switch:


– Check the switch-on and switch-off pressure on the supply pressure
gauge during operation.
Switch-off pressure = Pressure at which the compressor switches off
Switch-on pressure = Pressure at which the compressor automatically
switches on again.

Setting the operating pressure switch:

CAUTION: Voltage!
The operating pressure switch may only be set by an electrician! Live con-
tacts may be exposed on the pressure switch, implying the danger of injury
resulting from an electrical shock!

ATTENTION!
The ball valve at the compressor outlet must remain open during setting
work.
The operating pressure switch must only be adjusted while under pressure!

Proportional controller Check: – After approx. 3000 operating hours,


(option) however, at least once a year.

1. Setting the operating pressure switch


Switch-on pressure: Pmin = Final compression pressure – 1 bar.
Switch-off pressure: Pmax = Pmin + 0.4 to 0.5 bar.
The pressure difference should be set as low as possible.
How to set the operating pressure switch is described on page 6.16.

2. Delivered quantity display


The rings show the current delivered quantity of the compressor. In this man-
ner, you can check the regulating behaviour of the proportional controller.

red: 125% of the deliverd quantity


blue: 150% of the delivered quantity
green: 175% of the delivered quantity
green: 100% of the delivered quantity
Piston rod completely retracted: 0% of the delivered quantity

3. Setting the proportional controller


1 Displace the control range of the proportional controller by turning cap Q.
– Increase pressure level:
Turn cap Q clockwise.
– Reduce pressure level:
Turn cap Q counterclockwise.

Example: Increase 10 bar – plant


Pmin = 9.5 bar Pmax = 19.8 bar
to Pmin = 9.7 bar Pmax = 10.0 bar

Always set the proportional controller higher than the upper switching
point of the operating pressure switch (Pmax)!

4. Pressure switch for infinitely variable capacity control


The pressure switch for the infinitely variable capacity control limits the
reduction of the delivered quantity and switches the compressor off or, in the
event of less than 50 % delivered quantity, into idling operation.
– Set lower switching point.
The pressure switch must activate when the blue ring of the delivered
quantity display is just barely visible.
