1.1General safety instructions
WARNING!
Failure to adhere to these recommendations can result in mechanical failure,
property damange and serious injury or death.
All air and water inlet, and air and water discharge pipework to and from the
inlet and discharge port connections must 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; therefore, compatibilty between discharge piping, system accessories and software must be assured.
For the foregoing 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.
WARNING!
Statement concerning the inadvertent breathing of compressed air
exhaust.
The purchaser/user shall ensure that adequate ventilation and make up air
are provided if a non-BAP designated compressor supplies air in a confined
area to air consuming devices such as air motors, air tools, solenoids, air
cylinders, air guns, nozzles, etc. The compressed air discharge stream may
contain residual coolants/lubricants/carbon monoxide and condensable
hydrocarbons or other materials which may be hazardous to health with prolonged inhalation.

2.2Function description
Function principle
of the air end
Air circuit
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
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.

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 intake line depending on the operating condition of the compressor.
3 = Air end
The air end compresses the intake 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 (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 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.

2.2Function 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 collectet oil from the oil-separator is drained back to the air end into the
oil circuit via the drainage line.

2.3Compressor control
Supply pressure
Operating states
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.
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 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.
Operating modes
Short operating
times
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

compressor switches from idling operation back to load operation.
CAUTION!
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.

sor either switches off (intermittent operation) or switches to idling operation
(continuous operation).
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).

2.5Safety and monitoring devices
General
Safety temperature
limiting device
Safety valve
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.
DANGER!
Do not operate the compressor without built-in safety devices.
Do not dismantle the safety devices or put them out of operation.
Safety temperature limiting device switches off the compressor once the
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 on the compressed air/oil receiver prevents the maximum
admissible pressure being exceeded. When the maximum pressure is exceeded (e.g. incorrect setting of the operating pressure switch), the entire
delivery volume of the compressor is ejected.

As a rule, the bearings of the drive motors are provided with a maintenance
free permanent lubrication. The drive motor of some series are equipped
with a post-lubricating unit. These motors can be easily recognised by the
two grease nipples on the upper side of the housing. In addition, plates
on the compressor indicate the type of motor lubrication.
Under normal operating conditions (coolant temperature max. 105°F,
continous operation) the bearings are maintenance free for the service life.

5.3Regular maintenance work
Drive motors with
lubrication device
Motors with lubrication devices are easily recognised by the two grease nipples on the top of the cover. Please check which motor is installed in your
compressor and service it according to the respective instructions.
Lubricate the bearings of the drive motor at the prescribed intervals so as
not to sustain damage due to lack of lubricant.
The motors with lubrication device can be recognised by the two grease nipples on the top of the cover. Adhesive plates on the compressor also indicate
the motor lubrication. On motors with lubrication devices, regular greasing
belongs to 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.
DANGER: 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.
CAUTION!
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 prior to filling with
new grease.
Please always observe the specified lubrication intervals and quantities of
grease.
Even over-greasing and an excess of lubricant can the bearings to be destroyed.

5.3Regular maintenance work
Servicing drive motor
The drive motors have an automatic lubricating device (see figure).
There is a lubricating nipple on the A bearing and B bearing side of the motor.
The lubricating nipple is connected with the automatic lubricating device via
a tube.
The tubes are already filled with grease. When the tubes are replaced, they
must be filled with grease.
The type of grease is indicated on the lubrication unit of the compressor
(see Fig. 5.5 below).
Voltage is supplied from the switch cabinet.
Both LC units (LC = lubrication canister) are designed for 1 year in threeshift operation. After one year, the canisters must be replaced because
of lubricant ageing, no matter how much lubricant they have.
So as to comply with the necessary lubricating deadlines, the coding switches
"VOL" and "TIME" of the drives are preset in the factory according to table
7.2 of the Operating Instructions for CONTROL TIME.
Set values:
– LC unit S250 for A bearing: 2.89 cm³/ per 100 operating hours
For information regarding operating and maintenance to CONTROL TIME,
please read enclosed operating instructions.

cooling unit
(air cooling)
Flushing the oil circuit with clean oil becomes necessary:
– When the oil is excessively soiled.
– Prior to changing the oil type.
CAUTION!
Detailed information as to the flushing with BOGE oils you can obtain from
the following service number.
770 - 874 -1570
Cleaning:– After 1500 operating hours,
however, at the latest after one year.
The service life of the compressed air/oil cooling unit depends on the
degree of soiling (dust, oil vapour) of the suctioned cooling air. Extreme
external soiling of the cooling unit leads to an increased temperature
in the oil circuit.
– Switch off the compressor using the OFF button.
DANGER: Risk of injury!
Switch off the main switch and secure it against unintentional switch-on.
– Remove cladding on the maintenance side.
– Unscrew the maintenance flap on the air guidance box.
– Remove accumulated soiling with a fibre brush.
CAUTION!
Do not use any sharp objects for cleaning!
These could damage the cooling unit!
– Blow down the dirt with compressed air in the opposite direction to the
normal cooling air flow. Clean out the dirt using an industrial vacuum
cleaner (see Fig.).
If the cooling unit is excessively soiled (cleaning is no longer possible with
compressed air), have it disassembled and cleaned by BOGE service.
