Refer to Figure 3-2. The gas is drawn in through intake connector (1), compressed to the final pressure in
cylinders (2, 3, 4,) and cooled by intercoolers (5, 6) and after cooler (7). The safety valves (8,9, 10) protect from overpressure in the individual stages. The compressed gas is purified by Inter-stage separator
(11) and oil and water separator assembly (12). The Inter-stage separator (11) and oil and water separator
(12) are drained by condensate valves (14). An Automatic Condensate Drain system is available as an
option. The pressure maintaining valve (13) ensures that pressure is built up in the HP drying system
from the start of delivery, thus achieving constant optimum drying.

3.1.4Compressor Lubrication
3.1.4.1Description
Refer to Figure 3-3. The compressor is provided with forced-feed lubrication. The oil pressure is produced by a low speed gear pump (1). The oil pressure is approximately 73 psi (5 bar).
The oil pump (1) is coupled to and driven by the crankshaft. It pumps oil through the oil line filter (2) and
a minimum pressure valve (3) to the 3rd stage cylinder. The oil is then distributed by the guide piston (4)
of the 3rd stage and lubricates all the moving parts of the compressor block.
The minimum pressure valve (3) allows for oil pressure indication at a pressure gauge and/or electronic
oil pressure monitoring.
^CAUTION
The Oil Pump operates only when the compressor is rotating in the correct direction. If the compressor is
rotating backwards, no oil pressure will build up damaging the compressor.
3.1.4.2Oil Level Check
Check the oil level at the sight gauge on either side of the compressor block (See Figure 3-4) every day
before putting the compressor into operation. Oil level must be between the minimum and maximum
notches. Oil level must never be below the minimum mark as this will cause severe damage due to lack of
April 4, 2013Page 17

lubrication. Oil level must also not exceed the maximum mark as this will cause excessive lubrication of
the compressor and may result in a carbon buildup on the valves.

3.1.4.4Oil Change
1. Run the compressor until it is warm then shut it down.
2. (See Figure 3-5). Remove the cap (1) from the oil filler neck.
3. Drain oil while it is still warm by means of the oil drain plug.
^CAUTION
Replace the oil filter every oil change. Failure to do so will cause the filter to clog and the bypass valve to
open resulting in unfiltered oil being circulated and possible damage to the compressor.
4. (See Figure 3-6). Remove the two bolts (1) with a 13 mm wrench. Remove the oil filter cover (2)
5. (See Figure 3-7). Remove the oil filter (1) from the rubber gasket at the cover.
6. Mount a new filter element (P/N N25326) and replace and fasten oil filter cover.
7. Slowly pour new oil through the oil filler neck until the level reaches the maximum mark on the
sight gauge.
8. Wait a few minutes and adjust the oil level if necessary before putting the unit into operation.
3.1.5Venting the Oil Pump
(See Figure 3-7) If no or low oil pressure builds up after starting the unit, especially after maintenance
or repair or if the compressor has been run the wrong direction, venting the oil pump may be necessary.
1. Run the compressor with all condensate drains open to avoid building up pressure.
2. Unscrew Screw Cap (2) and Plug and wait until Oil comes out free of air bubbles.
3. Retighten Plug and Screw Cap.
4. Check Oil Level (See Paragraph 3.1.4.2) and replace oil as necessary.
3.1.5.1Gas Intake System
In order for these compressors to work satisfactorily, it is absolutely essential to supply the medium at a
constant pressure. Therefore a pressure reducer in the intake line is necessary if the supply pressure is
above atmospheric pressure or fluctuating. An intake expansion tank between the pressure reducer and
the compressor may also be necessary to compensate for the pressure surges caused by the 1st stage piston.

3.1.6Inter-stage Separator
An inter-stage separator is mounted on the compressor block. This separator is designed to remove oil
and water which accumulates due to the cooling of the medium after the compression process. Separation
is achieved by means of centrifugal action provided by a vortex plate (1).

The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the inter-stage separator during condensate draining subjects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of
damage, injury or death the inter-stage separator must be replaced after 85,000 load cycles. A
load cycle equals one depressurization- repressurization.

3.1.7Cooling
3.1.7.1General
The cylinders of the compressor, the inter-stage coolers and the after cooler are air cooled. For this purpose the compressor is equipped with a fanwheel which draws the cooling air through the unit. The fanwheel is driven by the drive motor V-belt and is also used as the compressor flywheel.
3.1.8Valves and Heads
3.1.8.1Functional Description
The valve heads of the individual stages form the top part of the cylinders. (See Figure 3-9).
Figure 3-9Valve Operation
IntakeDischarge
The intake and pressure valves are fitted inside the valve heads. Note that the valves are operated by the
flow of the medium. On the intake stroke, the intake valves open and the medium flows into the cylinders. At the start of the pressure stroke the intake valve closes and the medium opens the pressure valve.
The Intake and Pressure Valve of the 1st Stage of the IK120II C & G are a combined plate valve under the
valve head, See Figure 3-10.

3.1.8.2General Instructions for Changing the Valves
• Always replace valves as a complete set.
• Carefully clean dirty valves. Never use a sharp tool for this purpose. Soak the valves in Varsol and
clean with a soft brush.
• Check the individual components for excessive wear. If the valve seat or valve discs are dented,
replace the valves.
• Check the valve space in the valve heads for dirt, and clean if necessary.
• Use only satisfactory gaskets and O-rings during reassembly.
• Observe the correct sequence when reassembling.
• After finishing all maintenance work on the valves, turn the compressor manually using the flywheel
and check whether all items have been correctly installed.
• 30 minutes after restarting the compressor, stop the unit, let it cool down to ambient temperature, and
retighten valve studs and cap nuts. Otherwise the gasket set may cause a leak.
• Remove and check the valves every 1,000 operating hours.
• Replace the valves every 2,000 operating hours to avoid fatigue failure.

3.2Three Stage Automatic Condensate Drain System
3.2.1Description
The automatic condensate drain is an optional system and may not be included with your unit.
The automatic condensate drain system operates electropneumatically and is comprised of the following:
An electrically controlled solenoid valveAn electrical timer
A pneumatically operated condensate drain valveA condensate manifold
A condensate collector tank
The automatic condensate drain system drains the intermediate separator and the oil and water separator
every 15 minutes during operation. Additionally the automatic condensate drain system unloads the compressor during the starting phase and drains these filters at shutdown of the compressor unit.

4. Condensate Drain Valve
3.2.1.1Normal Operation
The normally open solenoid valve (1) controls the condensate draining of the intermediate separator (2).
The normally open condensate drain valve (4) controls the condensate draining of the oil and water separator. The two valves (1 & 4) are connected together in cascade mode. This means that the operational
state (open or closed) of the solenoid valve (1) causes the same state in the condensate drain valve (4) to
occur. The control air for operating the condensate drain valve (4) is taken from the intermediate separator (2).
As the compressor is started, the solenoid valve (1) is electrically energized and closes. This allows the
pressure to buildup in the intermediate separator. This pressure buildup results in control air pressing the
piston into the valve seat, closing the condensate drain valve (4).
3.2.1.2Condensate Drain
Every 15 minutes the Timer de-energizes the solenoid valve (1) for approximately 10 seconds. The solenoid valve (1) opens and drains the condensation from the intermediate separator (2). This causes a pressure loss in the intermediate separator and the control air for the condensate drain valve (4). As the
pressure of the control air is dropping, the piston of the condensate drain valve (4) becomes unloaded and
the control air is momentarily vented through a relief port. Then the piston of the drain valve is fully
raised by pressure from the final separator, and the condensate is drained.
3.2.1.3Start Unloading
The unloading of the compressor during the starting phase is possible because of the lack of control air
immediately after starting the unit. As the unit is switched on the solenoid valve (1) is energized and
closes. After the compressor has attained nominal speed, pressure builds in the intermediate separator and
Page 501st Edition, Rev. 0 Chg. 2
MNL-126509
the control air closes the condensate drain valve (4). Once the valve closes, the compressor delivers to the
consuming device.
3.2.1.4Standstill Drainage
At compressor shutdown, the solenoid valve (1) is de-energized and opens. This drains the condensate
and relieves the pressure in the intermediate filter (2). This action in turn removes the control air form the
condensate drain valve which opens and drains and relieves the pressure in the oil and water separator.
3.2.2Component Description
3.2.2.1Condensate Drain Piping
The outlet opening of the condensate drain manifold is equipped with a tube connector. From here the
condensation is directed into a collecting bottle by means of a tube to the pre-separator elbow and a separator/silencer.
3.2.2.2Electrical Connection
For electrical connection of the automatic condensate drain, refer to any included wiring diagrams.
^CAUTION
The condensate drain interval is adjusted at the factory. If the regular operating time of the compressor
unit is less than the drain cycle, adjust the timing relay accordingly to ensure regular draining of the oil
and water separator. If the compressor is shut off before the first drain cycle is completed, the timing relay
would be reset each time causing the drain cycle to be started again. The condensate drain cycle would
never be completed, which could result in flooding of the separator and damage to the connected systems.
3.2.3ACD Maintenance
The condensate drain valves are provided with manual drain valves to verify correct operation of the
automatic system.
The automatic condensate drain system must be serviced once a week as follows:
1. Open all manual drain valves one after the other.
2. Observe the drainage of condensation.
a. If the system drains more than 2 ounces of liquid per stage, either the system or the corresponding
condensate drain valve is not working properly.
b. Find the fault and remedy accordingly.
3. If little or no condensation emerges, the automatic system is operating properly.
4. The condensate collection tank should be emptied regularly. Due care must be taken to ensure that
any oil which is drained with the condensation is disposed of properly. Check local, state and federal regulations.

3.3Condensate Collector
During compression the water content of the air is also compressed. The resulting water is removed after
each compression stage and is collected through the automatic condensate drain system.
This water, additionally, has a small oil content. The separation of oil and water is not possible through
simple methods; therefore the condensate has to be completely removed. It is most practical to collect this
condensate in special containers and dispose of it entirely.
For these compressor units a metal housing and tank assembly is used. A float level switch is also
included. The condensate is drained from the tank assembly by the manual drain valve into a separate
container for proper disposal.

CHAPTER 4: PURIFICATION SYSTEM
4.1Introduction
The purpose of all Bauer breathing air purification systems is to remove carbon monoxide, oil, water,
taste and odor from the compressed air stream before final delivery.
The purpose of all Bauer industrial air purification systems is to remove oil and water from the compressed air stream before final delivery.
^WARNING
Industrial Air Purification System cartridges do not remove Carbon Monoxide
and must not be used in breathing air applications.
The quality of gas produced by the compressor is directly related to the quality and temperature of the gas
taken in by the unit. Intake gas should as close as possible to 50 °F (10 °C) and cleanest available and as
dry as possible. Bauer compressors normally add approximately 18 °F (10 °C) to the intake gas temperature. The purification cartridges perform their best at approximately 68 °F (20 °C). Adequate ventilation
enhances the quality and life of the purification cartridges.
4.1.1General Purification System Procedures
1. Keep an accurate record of operating hours to ensure exact attention to maintenance intervals
2. Change all cartridges before reactivating a compressor unit that has been out of service more than
three months. Leave cartridges in the unit as long as it is out of service.
3. While out of service keep all condensate drain valves closed. Maintain a pressure of 700 - 1,100 psi
(50 to 80 bar) within the system to prevent moisture from entering the compressor and purification
system.
4.1.2Chamber Safety Bore
The chambers in all Bauer purification systems are designed to prevent pressurization if the cartridge is
missing, not seated properly or damaged (Figure 4-1 & Figure 4-2). Without a cartridge properly in place
the safety bore is not sealed, the air escapes into the atmosphere, no pressure can be built up and thus it is
ensured that unfiltered air is not supplied to the consuming device. If air is escaping from the safety bore
remove and check cartridge. If necessary replace the cartridge or O-rings.
The condensate must be drained from the oil and water separator before changing any cartridge, before
beginning each filling procedure and in the absence of an Automatic Condensate Drain (ACD) system,
every fifteen minutes during the filling procedure. This is done by slowly opening the condensate drain
valves. They are opened approximately 1/3 of a turn to the left and held open until the condensate is completely drained. The condensate drain valves close by spring pressure but if necessary may be tightened
by hand to ensure they are completely air tight.

4.1.7Cartridge Operating Life
Every Bauer Purification System is designed to process a certain volume of air before the cartridges
require replacement. By using special test equipment that measures the quality of air at the outlet any
quality reduction may be detected. However as most compressor owners do not have this test equipment
the recommended method of determining cartridge operating life is to maintain a written record of the
volume of air processed by the purification system.
Each Bauer compressor block is rated to produce a standard volume of air per minute and by using this
number and the air processing capability of the purification system it is possible to calculate the maximum operating hours before the cartridges need to be replaced. See Paragraph 4.1.7.1 for the method of
determining this figure.
The ambient air temperature and its ability to cool the compressor will effect the operating life of the cartridge. See Paragraph 4.1.7.2 for the method of calculating this adjustment factor.
The optimum place to measure the temperature is at the inlet to the final separator as this best reflects the
temperature of the air as it enters the chambers. Experience has shown that this temperature is approximately 18 °F above the ambient temperature. Therefore for the purpose of calculating cartridge operating
life use the Ambient Air Temperature plus 18 °F.
A form titled Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours is found in Paragraph 4.1.7.3 and in the
Appendices. It is used for recording the ambient temperature, operating time and adjustment factor. It
April 4, 2013Page 59
G 120 II V
is suggested that it be copied, placed in a protective folder and kept with the unit to record the adjusted
operating hours. An example of how this form is used is shown in Figure 4-5.
4.1.7.1Calculating the Maximum Cartridge Operating Hours
1. From the purification system data plate (See Figure 4-3) on the purification chamber determine the
Air Processed (cu.ft.)
2. From the paragraph titled Compressor Specifications in the instruction manual for your compressor
unit determine the Charging Rate in SCFM of your compressor.
3. Divide the Air Processed by the Charging Rate to obtain the Maximum Operating Time in minutes
4. Divide the Maximum Operating Time in minutes by 60 to obtain the Maximum Operating Hours.
5. Record the answer on the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form.
4.1.7.2Calculating the Adjusted Cartridge Operating Hours
1. Using the Air Purification Cartridge Operating Hours form (FORM-0018) record the Date, Operat-
ing Hours and Ambient Air Temperature plus 18 °F.
2. Using either the graph or the chart in Figure 4-4 determine the Correction Factor.
3. Divide the Operating Hours by the Correction Factor and record it under the column labeled Today.
4. Add the hours recorded in Today to the previous Total and record it as the current Total.
5. When the Total approaches the Maximum Operating Hours replace the Cartridges.

4.2.2Component Description
4.2.2.1Oil & Water (condensate) Separator
^WARNING
The rapid depressurizing and repressurizing of the oil and water separator during condensate draining sub-
jects it to metallurgical stresses. To prevent catastrophic failure with the possibility of damage, injury or
death the oil and water separator (P/N 079416) must be replaced after a predetermined number of cycles.
One load cycle equals one pressurization plus one depressurization.
Units operating between 3,000 and 5,000 psi = 130,000 load cycles (32,500 hours of operation)
Units operating between 5,000 and 6,000 psi = 55,000 load cycles (13,750 hours of operation
The Bauer recommended frequency of condensate draining is every fifteen minutes and is a balance
between maximizing the life of the separator chamber and maintaining the quality of the delivered air.
The air leaving the final stage is cooled in the aftercooler to approximately 18 - 27° F (10 -15° C) above
ambient temperature and then enters the oil and water separator. The oil and water separator works by
means of a sintered metal filter which separates liquid oil and water particles from the compressed air.

4.2.2.2Chamber
Each chamber is made up of an anodized aluminum housing and a filtering cartridge. There are two general types of filtering cartridges, drying or purifying. The cartridge type is determined by the ingredients
packed in the cartridge. The chamber is named after the type of cartridge it contains, i.e. dryer chamber or
purification chamber.
4.2.2.3Cartridge
The cartridge casing, top and bottom are aluminum and are packed with
one or more of the following.
1. A catalyst to convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
2. Activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors effecting taste and odor.
3. Molecular sieve to absorb oil and water.
4.2.2.4Cartridge Handling
4. Never open the protective packaging a cartridge comes in prior to its
actual use. The highly sensitive filter materials will absorb moisture
from the atmosphere becoming saturated and useless.
5. Used cartridges must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
4.2.2.5Condensate Drain Valve
A manually operated valve used for maintenance and before start-up to drain the condensed liquids from
the coalescing oil and water separator.
4.2.2.6Check Valves
Valves allowing compressed air to flow in only one direction. One is used to maintain pressure in the
chamber when the compressor is not operating. The other check valve prevents back-flow from filled
storage cylinders or tanks.
April 4, 2013Page 65
G 120 II V
4.2.2.7Bleed Valve
A manually operated valve used to release the pressure in the chamber before maintenance.
4.2.2.8Pressure Maintaining Valve
The pressure maintaining valve ensures that pressure is built up in the system from the start of delivery,
thus achieving constant optimum purification. It also assures proper working conditions for the final
stage of compression.
4.2.2.9Safety Valve
The safety valve is located on the coalescing oil and water separator and acts as the safety valve for the
final stage of the compressor.

CHAPTER 5:COMPRESSOR DRIVE; G 120 II V
5.1Vertical Compressor Drive
The compressor is driven by the drive motor through a V-belt. The direction of rotation, as seen facing
the flywheel, is counterclockwise. Observe the arrow on the compressor block. Check the V-belt regularly for damage and wear. See Paragraph 5.2.2. Replace if necessary.

5.2Maintenance of the V-belt and Sheaves
5.2.1Check The Sheaves.
Before a new set of drive belts are installed, the condition of the sheaves should be checked. Dirty or
rusty sheaves impair the drive’s efficiency and abrade the cover of the belts, which results in premature
failure. Worn sheaves shorten belt life as much as 50%. If the grooves are worn to the point where the belt
bottoms, slippage may result and the belts may burn. If the side walls are “dished out,” the bottom shoulder ruins the belt prematurely by wearing off the bottom corners.
5.2.2Check the V-belt
Check the V-belt regularly for damage and wear. Replace if necessary. V-belt tension is adjusted automatically by the spring tension idler.

6.5Alarms
The following paragraphs describe the warning and alarm conditions that are monitored and controlled
by the Electrical Panel.
6.5.1Final Separator Warning
The high pressure-breathing compressor is equipped with a final separator. This is a stainless steel vessel, approximately 3¾ inch diameter, located on the purification panel. To prevent fatigue failure of this
vessel, the PLC program monitors the pressurization and depressurization cycles of this separator and
will first issue a Warning, and then later an Alarm function.
The program is set up for a 90% warning and a 100% shutdown alarm for this counter feature. The program would be configured to reflect the following values when it is built.
Table 6-1: Final Separator Warning and Shutdown Cycle Count
Maximum Compressor PressureWarningShutdown
5,000 psi117,000 cycles130,000 cycles
6,000 psi49,500 cycles55,000 cycles
When the warning is displayed, the unit will still continue to function properly, but will prompt the
operator to contact Bauer Compressors to make arrangements to replace the separator. When the Alarm
level has been achieved, the compressor will no longer function, and will require the replacement of the
separator. When this is accomplished, the unit can be reactivated by making adjustments to the PLC
software. Please contact Bauer Product Support for detailed instructions.

The Securus® Cartridge is packed with a catalyst which converts carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide,
activated carbon which absorbs oil vapors, molecular sieve which absorbs oil and water and the sensor
components of the Securus II® Electronic Moisture Monitor System.
6.5.2.2Securus II
®
Transmitter
See Figure 6-10. The Securus II® Transmitter relays the operating condition of the Securus II® Electronic Moisture Monitor System to the Operator Interface. The Securus II® issues a warning when the
Securus® cartridge is approaching saturation, to warn the user to prepare to change the Securus® cartridge. On a Securus® Warning condition, the compressor will run normally and the warning will be
shown on the Operator Interface. Once the Securus® cartridge has reached total saturation the Securus
II® Transmitter will issue an alarm condition to the Operator Interface and shut down the unit. Once the
Securus II® cartridge is replaced it is possible to restart the compressor. The Securus II® Transmitter is
removed and replaced by rotating the blue plastic Securus II® Transmitter approximately ½ turn. It is
not necessary to disconnect or remove the DIN Connector.

NOTICE
If the DIN Connector is removed, ensure that it is replaced in exactly the same position, otherwise electrical damage to the unit may occur.
6.5.3Compressor High Temperature
See Figure 6-11. The compressor high temperature switch is mounted on the high pressure compressor
block, on the third, fourth or fifth stage head, depending on model. Under normal operating conditions,
the switch is closed. On a high temperature condition, the compressor will shutdown and the alarm will
be displayed on the Operator Interface.

6.5.4Compressor Low Oil Pressure
See Figure 6-12. The compressor Oil Pressure Sensor is located on the back of the compressor block,
mounted with the oil pressure gauge. During start-up of the compressor, the oil pressure sensor is
bypassed for a time period set in the program by OIL PRESS TD parameter. This allows the oil pres-
sure to stabilize at operating pressure before the an alarm is sensed. After this initial time period, should
the compressor lose oil pressure, the Oil Pressure Sensor will cause the alarm to be displayed on the
Operator Interface.
6.5.5Compressor Overrun Timer
The compressor has an timer, where if the compressor runs continuously for a number of hours set by
the OVERRUNTIMER parameter, the compressor will shutdown, and the alarm will be displayed on
the Operator Interface. This is done to secure the equipment if it were to be started and left unattended.
6.5.6Condensate Fault
See Figure 6-13. The compressor condensate level switch is located in the condensate collection tank,
below the Automatic Condensate Drain separator. The switch is N.O., Normally Open, and is connected to the PLC. Refer to wiring diagram for additional information. As the condensate tank fills up
the Condensate Level Float Switch rises until it closes. At this time the compressor will shutdown and

the alarm will be displayed on the Operator Interface. The operator should drain the condensate from
the tank and resume operation of the equipment.

NOTICE
The compressor condensate contains some oil, and accordingly, should be disposed of in
accordance with state and local regulations.
6.5.7Motor Starter Overload Trip
The compressor overload relay is located in the Electrical Panel, See Figure 6-8. Under normal operating conditions, the switch is open. On an Overload Trip of the motor, the compressor will shutdown,
and the Alarm will be displayed on the Operator Interface.
6.6PLC Inputs and Outputs
All PLC inputs are 24 VDC. The power supply physically exists inside the PLC. All PLC outputs are of
a relay type, and are powered through the control transformer supplying 120 VAC single phase to the
various loads. Please refer to the wiring diagram provided with each unit for the as built specifications.
