Page 20Operating instructions for S 40-3...S 150-3 series screw compressors
The air end operates according to the displacement principle. In the housing,
the main and secondary rotors are driven by means of an electric motor and
V-belts.
Product description2.2Operating principle of compressor
Both screws have screw-shaped profiles, intermeshing without contact.
Together with the housing wall, these rotors form chambers which gradually
reduce in size along the direction of air flow. 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 has a
cooling, sealing and lubricating function.
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 air which is sucked in.
4 Compressed air-oil separator vessel
The compressed air separates from the oil under the force of gravity in the
compressed air/oil vessel.
5 Oil separator
The oil separator separates the residual oil contained in the compressed
air.
6 Minimum pressure non-return valve
The minimum pressure non-return 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
compressor has been switched off, the check valve prevents the compressed air from flowing back out of the mains line.
7 Compressed air aftercooler (air cooled or water cooled)
The compressed air is cooled in the compressed air aftercooler, causing
the water contained in the air to condensate.
8 Stop valve
The screw compressor can be isolated from the mains using the stop
valve.

Product description2.2Operating principle of compressor
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 rotors and between the rotors and the hous-
ing.
– It lubricates the bearings.
Fig. 2.2: Components of the oil circuit
1 Compressed air-oil vessel
The oil separated from the compressed air through the force of gravity collects in the compressed air-oil vessel. The system pressure forces it out
of the vessel 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 vessel together with the
compressed air. This is separated through 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 description2.3Compressor control
2.3 Compressor control
Network pressure
Operating states
Operating modes
For the compressor, the pressure downstream of the non-return valve is known
as the network pressure. The control system switches the compressor on and
off during operation depending on the network pressure.
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 amount of 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 with out
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.
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 p
the compressor switches
max
to standstill. It does not consume any energy.
–Once the pressure has dropped to the switch-on pressure p
min
the
compressor 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 p
the compressor switches
max
to idling operation.
–Once the pressure has dropped to the switch-on pressure p
min
the
compressor switches from idling operation back to load operation.

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

Product description2.5Safety and monitoring devices
Proportional controller
(optional accessory for
S series)
General information
The proportional controller is an additional control device intervening in the
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 operates in idling operation (continuous operation) or switches off (intermittent operation).
2.5 Safety and monitoring devices
The safety devices guarantee a high degree of operational safety, in connection with the BOGE 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.
Safety temperature
limiting device
WARNING: Risk of injury!
Do not operate the compressor without built-in safety devices!
Do not dismantle the safety devices or put them out of operation!
The following monitoring devices are standard for BOGE control systems:
The safety temperature limiting device switches the compressor off as soon as
the maximum permissible final compression temperature has been reached.
If the temperature drops below the minimum temperature, the compressor will
not start. In the event that the safety temperature limiting device intervenes in
compressor operation:
– Switch off the compressor (OFF button).
– Acknowledge fault.
– Rectify the fault.
– Switch on the compressor (ON-button).

Fire protection
Sound protection
The following applies to rooms in which compressors with oil injection cooling
are to be installed:
WARNING!
– For compressors with motor ratings exceeding 54 Hp ensure that the
compressor room is equipped with special fire protection.
– Install compressors with motor ratings exceeding 134 Hp 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 be able to spread out over the floor.
– No inflammable materials must be located within a radius of at least
118 inches around the compressor.
– No inflammable machine parts, such as cable ducts, may run overhead of
the compressor.
Only install compressors in workrooms if the sound pressure level of their
measurement surfaces does not exceed 85 dB (A).
Admissible ambient
temperatures
The compressor room must be clean, dry, cool and free of dust.
Admissible ambient temperatures (see also "Technical data“).
Maximum ambient temperature (for air cooling): + 104°F
Minimum ambient temperature:+ 41°F
WARNING!
Failure to observe the admissible ambient temperature may lead to the following problems:
– The compressor will switch off when the admissible final compression
temperature is exceeded or undercut.
– Pipe lines and valves will freeze up at low temperatures.
– Damage due to the reduced lubricating ability of the compressor oil.
Measures to be taken to ensure that the admissible ambient temperatures are maintained:
– 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
temperatures do not go below the minimum temperature in winter.
– Use the anti-freeze function (only in "ready for operation" mode).

Installation3.2Compressor room
Frost protection
Ventilation
The compressor must be installed so that it is frost-protected. The BOGE antifreeze device is a standard feature. It protects the safety devices from freezing
up at ambient temperatures up to 14°F.
If the following instructions are not observed, the admissible final compression temperature may be exceeded. In this case, the compressor
will switch off automatically
WARNING!
Arrange the compressor intake openings or ducts in such a way that dangerous admixtures (e.g. explosive or chemically unstable materials) cannot be
drawn in.
Ventilation openings (free-standing installation)
– Arrange supply air openings close to the floor.
– Arrange exhaust air openings in the ceiling or at the top of the wall.
– The required cross sections for the supply openings (as well as for the flaps
and weather protection grids) are indicated in the table.
Supply and exhaust air ducts
– Ensure that the flow rate in the ducts does not exceed 157 inches/s.
– Never position cooling air ducts directly on the compressor. Always use a
compensator to avoid distortion and the transfer of vibrations.
Fans
Ensure that the heated exhaust air is not taken in again.
If necessary, the heated air must be extracted by fans.
To ensure perfect cooling even at higher temperatures in the summer, the fans
must be designed as follows:
– The capacity of the fan must be approx. 10 - 15% greater than the sum of
the total amount of cooling air required for all the machines that are oper-
ated in the room.
– For free-standing installation, the cooling air requirement specified in the
table corresponds to the required fan capacity.
Supply air filter
– Equip the compressor with supply air filter mats if the compressor room is
contaminated with dust (option).

E Using the hot exhaust air for heating
In the winter, the hot exhaust air is used for heating rooms.
In summer it is directed into the open.
The air taken in contains water in form of vapour, which turns into condensation during compression.
WARNING!
The condensate contains oil. Never dispose of it in the public sewage system
without prior treatment.
Strictly observe the effluent disposal laws of your local authorities. Comply
with the Water Act!
BOGE recommends using an oil/water separator.
The BOGE oil/water separator is used to separate the oil from the condensate. The cleaned water can be fed directly into the public sewage system.
The oil is collected in a separate container. Dispose of the oil according to
environmental regulations.
If the oil emulsifies due to special operating conditions, use an emulsion
cracking plant.

Accessory equipment5.1BOGE Duotherm BPT
Part 5: Accessory equipment
Function
Installation
5.1 BOGE Duotherm BPT
The heat recovery system BOGE Duotherm BPT utilizes the heat energy released during compression to produce hot water free of charge (e.g. for production systems or to supply a heater).
The plate heat exchanger is connected in the main stream of the hot oil. It consists of stainless steel plates which are soldered together. These form two
separate ducting systems. Compressor oil and water run through these ducts
with opposite directions of flow. The hot oil transfers its heat to the colder water
through the plates.
As a rule, the plate heat exchanger is installed in the compressor in the factory
and comes equipped with all the necessary pipework. Only the following work
needs to be carried out during installation:
–Connect the supply and discharge water pipelines to the pipeline system.
Route the pipelines to prevent stresses and vibrations from being transmitted to the heat exchanger.
–Provide venting and draining facilities.
The customer must provide the following components for installation:
–Stop valves
Stop valves in the water supply and discharge lines enable the heat exchanger to be removed easily
–Expansion vessel and safety valve.
WARNING!
If the stop valves in the water supply and discharge lines are closed simultaneously, an enclosed space is created. If the water in this space is heated,
it expands and the pressure increases.
An expansion vessel and safety valve must therefore be installed to prevent
the plate heat exchanger from becoming damaged.
–Dirt trap (pore size: max. 0.02 inch).
The dirt trap at the water inlet protects the plate heat exchanger against
dirt deposits if the water is very dirty.
–Flushing connections
The flushing connections serve to clean the plate heat exchanger.
Free-standing installation
The plate heat exchanger may also be installed as a free-standing unit or retrofitted by the customer.
Normally, the plate heat exchanger is held in place by the pipelines. However,
when installing larger types of heat exchanger, the customer may have to provide a bracket.

Accessory equipment5.1BOGE Duotherm BPT
Commissioning
Maintenance
Proceed as follows during commissioning:
–Check oil level in the oil circuit. If necessary, top up with oil.
–Slowly open the stop valves in the water supply and discharge line.
–Avoid pressure hammers!
–Vent the pipelines.
Limescale, oxides as well as grease or oil will be deposited in the ducts in the
plate heat exchanger during operation
Regular cleaning will prevent thick deposits clogging individual ducts of the
plate heat exchanger.
Cleaning intervals
Excessively soiled or hard water: 6 months
Moderately soiled water, surface water: 1 year
Lightly soiled water: 3 years
Recommended cleaning agents
Grease or oil deposits: Paraffin
Oxide or limescale deposits: formic acid, acetic acid or citric acid
WARNING!
Always observe the instructions of the cleaning agent manufacturer!
Cleaning methods
Flushing:
–First close all stop valves in the supply lines.
–Close all stop valves in the discharge lines.
–Wait until the plate heat exchanger has cooled down.
–Open the flushing connections and drain the plate heat exchanger.
–Flush out the plate heat exchangers.
For this purpose, pump one of the above mentioned cleaning agents
through the plate heat exchangers for an extended period of time.
–After flushing, rinse the plate heat exchanger thoroughly with water
(e.g. using a pressure washer).
Enhance the cleaning action by the following measures:
–Use a larger mass flow rate than for standard operation.
–Flush the cleaning agent through the plate heat exchanger in the opposite
direction to standard operation.
Allow to react (tenacious soiling):
–Dismantle plate heat exchanger.
–Fill plate heat exchanger with one of the above-mentioned cleaning agents.
–Allow the cleaning agent to act for at least six hours. Point the connections
upward to allow any gases that may occur to escape.

Accessory equipment5.2BOGE Duotherm BSW
–After cleaning, rinse the plate heat exchanger thoroughly with water (e.g.
using a pressure washer).
NOTICE!
If the cleaning measures specified above are not sufficient, you should have
the exchanger cleaned by a service company. Boge's service department will
recommend contracting companies on request.
5.2 BOGE Duotherm BSW
Function
The safety heat exchanger BOGE Duotherm Plus BSW is approved for drinking water. It is integrated in the main stream of the hot compressor oil. The additional safety it provides in comparison with the plate heat exchanger results
from the following measures:
–Separation of the circuits
In this heat exchanger, the oil and water circuits are completely separated
by a confining liquid.
The confining liquid transmits the heat. In the event of heat exchanger damage, this prevents the oil and water from mixing.
It is impossible, therefore, for the drinking water to become contaminated.
–Pressure control device
A pressure control device responds immediately to a burst or fractured pipe
within the system, emitting a pulse which can be individually processed
(e.g. alarm, switching off the system).
NOTICE!
Set the pressure control device to a value at least 20% lower than the minimum pressure of the media used.
Operating conditions
Minimum water pressure:7.25 psig
Maximum water pressure:232 psig
Maximum oil pressure:232 psig
Maximum pressure of the confining liquid:145 psig
Maximum temperature (oil and water): +212 °F
NOTICE!
Exceeding the maximum temperature will result in malfunctioning. A false
alarm will be triggered.

Commissioning
Maintenance
Proceed as follows during commissioning:
–Check the oil level in the oil circuit.
–Gradually open the valves on the water side.
–Avoid pressure hammers!
–Vent the pipelines.
–Any residual air contained in the heat exchanger will be carried along by
the media conveyed and will escape through the system.
The safety circuit, including the pressure control device and the expansion
vessel, forms a closed, maintenance-free system.
WARNING!
Do not open the system under any circumstances.
Opening the system will put the operation and safety of the heat exchanger
at risk!
If confining liquid escapes as a result of damage, send the heat exchanger
to BOGE for repair.

Oil change
Change the oil:
– In the case of Syprem S:
After 9,000 operating hours, but after two years at the latest.
WARNING!
If you use a different oil instead of Syprem S:
it is essential that you contact the BOGE service department to determine the
required oil change intervals.
NOTICE!
The service life of the oil, the oil filter and oil separators is reduced under the
following conditions:
– When the compressor is operated at extreme ambient temperatures.
– When the intake air is extremely contaminated.
Oil change (see also Figs. 6.9 to 6.11):
Before changing the oil, an air cushion must be built up. The combined compressed air/oil receiver is located at the lowest point of the system. Therefore,
a light air cushion (approx. 22 psig system pressure) must be applied to drain
the oil. This pressure forces the oil through the drain hose into a suitable collecting vessel. To build up an air cushion:
1. Switch the compressor off with the OFF button.
2. Remove the cover on the maintenance side.
3. Place the end of the oil drain hose into a suitable collecting vessel (6).
4. Remove the cap nut (5) from the switch cabinet.

6.5 Special maintenance work
Flush out oil circuit
Drive motors with permanent lubrication
Flushing the oil circuit with clean oil becomes necessary:
– When the oil is excessively soiled.
– Prior to changing the oil type.
WARNING!
Detailed information on flushing with BOGE oils can be obtained from the following service numbers:
Telephone: +1-770-874-1570
Telephone: +49 5206 601-140
The bearings of the drive motors are generally provided with a maintenance
free permanent lubrication.
Under normal operating conditions (refrigerant temperature max. 104°F, continuous operation) the bearings are maintenance free for the entire service life.
The service life decreases or increases as thermal stress increases or decreases (due to increased or reduced refrigerant temperature).
WARNING!
Have BOGE service dismantle the bearings and install new bearings once
the specified service life has expired.
Drive motors with lubrication device
Motors with lubricating devices are easily recognised by the two grease nipples on the top of the cover. Additionally stickers on the compressor refer to
the lubricating device (see illustration below).
Fig. 6.12: Grease nipples of the lubricating device
Operating instructions for S 40-3...S 150-3 series screw compressorsPage 73
Maintenance6.5Special maintenance work
Check to determine which motor is integrated in your compressor and service
the motor accordingly. Lubricate the bearings of the drive motor at the prescribed intervals so as not to sustain damage due to lack of lubricant.
On motors with lubricating devices, regular greasing forms part of the scope
of maintenance. The lubrication intervals, quantity and type of grease are
given on the type plate or a separate plate. For lubrication, the required quantity is pressed through the nipple into the bearing with a grease gun while the
compressor is running.
Drive motors with
automatic lubricating
equipment
Read the attached operating instructions carefully before putting the automatic
lubrication device into operation.
WARNING: Risk of injury!
Always exercise great caution when lubricating the bearings with the compressor running and observe all safety precautions. Never put your hand in
the area of the V-belt and the fan wheel. Fitted safety devices and cladding
may not be removed.
WARNING!
Always use the same type of grease for lubrication. The lubricating ability can
be sharply reduced if different types of greases are mixed.
If you intend to use a different type of grease:
– Have the bearings removed and thoroughly cleaned by BOGE service
personnel prior to filling with new grease.
Please always observe the specified lubrication intervals and quantities of
grease.
Over-greasing and an excess of lubricant can also destroy the bearings.
