General 1.1 General safety instructions
Safety instructions for maintenance and repair of the compressor
Caution!
Only use original spare parts, compressor oils and operating materials released by BOGE during repair or maintenance!
Attention: High voltage!
When working on the electrical system there is a constant danger of getting
into contact with live parts!
To avoid such dangers the mains connection must be equipped with a disconnecting device!
1. Ensure that maintenance work is only carried out by appropriately trained
persons.
2. Ensure that setting work, malfunction rectification and repair is only carried
out by specialists or appropriately trained persons.
3. Prior to maintenance or repair work:
– Switch off the main switch.
– Secure main switch against unintentional switch-on.
– Check to ensure that all parts are currentless.
– Disconnect the compressor from the compressed air network (relieve
or block pressurized lines).
4. Exercise extreme caution during repair or maintenance work requiring the

start automatically following a voltage loss.
Prerequisite: The net pressure is lower than the set switch-on pressure.
Accident prevention regulations
Page 2 BOGE Operating instructions for C 10 L...C 20 L series screw compressors
The owner of a compressor plant is required to ensure that it is properly installed, operated and maintained.
For operation of the compressor plant, the accident prevention regulations of
the owner country must be observed in addition to the data contained in these
operating instructions.
General 1.2 Introduction
In the event that measures are required above and beyond the legal regulations or the data contained in these operating instructions, then it is of utmost
importance that these be carried out prior to commissioning the compressor
plant.
WARNING!
Failure to adhere to these recommendations can result in mechanical failure,
property damange and serious injury or death.
All air and water inlet as well as air and water discharge pipework to and from
the inlet and discharge port connections must be designed in such a way as
to take into account vibration, pulsations, temperature, maximum pressure
applied, corrosion and chemical resistance. In addition, it should be noted
that lubricated compressors will discharge some oil into the air stream; there
fore, compatibility between discharge piping, system accessories and software must be assured.
For those reasons, the use of plastic piping and soldered copper fittings as
discharge piping is not recommended. In addition, flexible joints and/or flex
lines can only be considered for such purposes if their specifications fit the
operating parameters of the system.
It is the responsibility of the installer and owner to provide the appropriate
service pipework to and from the machine.

Function principle of the air end
2.2 Function description
The air end operates according to the displacement principle. In the housing,
the main and secondary screws are driven by means of an electric motor.
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.
Page 10 BOGE Operating instructions for C 10 L...C 20 L series screw compressors
Product description 2.2 Function description
Air circuit
Fig. 2.1: 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
compressor.
3 Air end
The air end compresses the sucked in 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 51 psig. This causes a rapid build-up of the system
pressure and ensures lubrication in the starting phase. Once the com
pressor 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 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.

* Optionally for receiver systems without refrigeration compressed air dry-
ers
