NOTE: Compressor must be installed in a well
ventilated area.
Corken compressors are designed and manufactured for
outdoor duty. For applications where the compressor will
be subjected to extreme conditions for extended periods
such as corrosive environments, arctic conditions, etc.,
consult Corken. Check local safety regulations and building
codes to assure installation will meet local safety standards.
Corken compressors handling toxic or flammable
gases such as LPG/NH3 should be located outdoors in
a well ventilated area. A minimum of 18 inches (45 cm)
clearance between the compressor and the nearest wall
is advised to make it accessible from all sides and to
provide unrestricted air flow for adequate cooling.
Noise:
Corken vertical compressors should not exceed an 85
DBA noise level when properly installed.

1.2 Foundation
Proper foundations are essential for a smooth running
compression system. Corken recommends the
compressor be attached to a concrete slab at least 8
inches thick with a 2 inch skirt around the circumference
of the steel structural skid. The steel structural skid
should be securely anchored into the foundation by 3/4
inch diameter “J” bolts that are 8 inches long. The total
mass of the foundation should be approximately twice
the weight of the compressor system (compressor,
baseplate, motor, etc.). See figure 1.2 for details.
For a more detailed explanation of a proper fou ndation
design, please refer to ED410, Important Instructions
for Compressor Foundation Design.
1.3 Piping
Proper piping design and installation is as important as a
proper foundation is to a smooth operating compressor.
Improper piping installation will result in undesirable
transmission of compressor vibration to the piping.
DO NOT SUPPORT PIPING WITH THE COMPRESSOR.
Unsupported piping is the most frequent cause of vibration
of the pipe. The best method to minimize transmission of
vibration from the compressor to the piping is to use
flexible connectors (see figure 1.3 for details).
If a restrictive device such as a valve, pressure regulator,
or back-check valve is to be installed in the compressor’s
suction line, care must be taken. The suction line volume
between the restrictive device and the compressor
suction nozzle must be at least ten times the swept
cylinder volume.
On liquefied gas applications such as LPG/NH3, it is of
extreme importance to prevent the entry of liquid into the
compressor. Installing a liquid trap on the inlet side will
prevent liquid from entering the compressor (see section 1.4).
It is of equal importance to protect the discharge side
of the compressor from liquid entry. This may be done
by installing a check valve on the discharge side of the
compressor and using a piping design that does not
allow liquid to gravity drain into the compressor.

For vapor recovery applications, be certain to install
a check valve on vapor lines discharging to the liquid
space of the tank.
All piping must be in accordance with the laws and codes
governing the service. In the United States, the following
codes apply:
For LP Gas—The National Fire Protection Association
Pamphlet No. 58, Standard for the Storage and Handling
of Liquefied Petroleum Gases.
For Ammonia—The American National Standards
Institute, Inc., K61.1-1989, Storage and Handling of
Anhydrous Ammonia.
Corken’s liquid trap provides the most thorough liquid
separation (see figure 1.4) and is ASME code stamped.
It contains two level switches, one for alarm and one
for shutdown. In some cases the alarm switch is used
to activate a dump valve (not included with trap) or
sound an alarm for the trap to be manually drained by
the operator. This trap also contains a mist pad. A mist
pad is a mesh of interwoven wire designed to remove
fine liquid mists. The ASME code trap is standard in
the 109B and 107B mounting configurations.
NOTE: The liquid level switch MUST be removed from
the trap before grounding any welding devices to
the trap or associated piping! Failure to do so will
damage the switch contacts.
Copies of these are available from NFPA, 60 Baterymarch
Street, Boston, Mass, 02110 and ANSI, 1430 Broadway, New
York, N.Y., 10018. Install, use and maintain this equipment
according to Corken instructions and all applicable federal,
state, and local laws and previously mentioned codes. Other
laws may apply in different industries and applications.
1.4 Liquid Trap
Compressors are designed to pressurize gas—not to
pump liquids. The entry of even a small amount of liquid
into the compressor will result in serious damage.
On liquefied gas applications, a liquid trap must be
used to prevent the entry of liquid into the compressor.
If your compressor is equipped with a liquid trap not
manufactured by Corken, make sure it is adequately
sized; otherwise it may not be able to remove the liquid
entrained in the suction stream.
1.5 Driver Installation/Flywheels
Corken vertical compressors may be driven by either
electric motors or combustion engines (gasoline, diesel,
natural gas, etc.).
Note: Never operate a reciprocating compressor without
a flywheel.
Drivers should be selected so the compressor operates
between 400 and 900 RPM. The unit must not be
operated without the flywheel or severe torsional
imbalances will result that could cause vibration and
a high horsepower requirement. The flywheel should
never be replaced by another pulley unless it has a
higher wk2 value than the flywheel.
Humid climates can cause problems with explosion
proof motors. The normal breathing of the motor and
alternating between being warm when running and cool
when stopped can cause moist air to be drawn into the
motor. This moist air will condense, and may eventually
add enough water inside the motor to cause it to fail. To
prevent this, make a practice of running the motor at least
once a week on a bright, dry day for an hour or so without
the V-belts. During this period of time, the motor will
heat up and vaporize the condensed moisture. No motor
manufacturer will guarantee their explosion proof or totally
enclosed (TEFC) motor against damage from moisture.
Figure 1.4: ASME automatic liquid trap
For installation with engine drivers, thoroughly review
instructions from the engine manufacturer to assure the
unit is properly installed.
1.6 Crankcase Lubrication
To ensure proper lubrication of the crankcase parts
before startup, the crankcase should be filled through the
nameplate inspection opening.
6
Page 7
Non-detergent oil is recommended for Corken vertical
compressors. Detergent oils tend to keep wear particles
and debris suspended in the oil, whereas non-detergent
oils let them settle in the bottom of the crankcase.
When non-detergent oils are not available, detergent
oils may usually be successfully substituted, although
compressors handling ammonia, amine, or imine gases are
notable exceptions. These gases react with the detergent
and cause the crankcase oil to become corrosive and
contaminated. Figures 1.6A and 1.6B show recommended
oil viscosities and crankcase capacities. Ensure oil is
compatible with the product being compressed.
Synthetic lubricants are generally not necessary. Please
consult your lubricant supplier if you are considering the
use of synthetic oil.
1.7 Purging, Padding, Venting and
Draining of Distance Pieces
The key to leakage control and oil-free operation of
Corken compressors is the distance piece. The distance
piece is integral with the crosshead guide and forms
the upper portion of it. Distance pieces are equipped
with tapped holes to allow purging, padding, venting,
and draining (see Figure 1.7). Proper connections to
and from these tapped holes are essential for optimum
compressor performance.
Corrosive gases should be prevented from entering the
crankcase, since even small amounts of gas leakage into
the crankcase can seriously contaminate the crankcase
oil. To prevent this contamination, the distance piece
may be purged, padded, or vented using a clean, noncorrosive gas like dry air or nitrogen.
Purging:
Purging of the distance piece controls leakage of process
gas to the atmosphere. Process gas leakage into the
distance piece is quickly diluted by the purge gas and
swept away. The purge gas should be vented to a safe
release area, flare, compressor’s inlet, or treatment
facility, depending on the gas and local regulations.
When purging, it is critical to maintain the proper
pressure loading across each set of packing. The higher
pressure should be on the open side of the “V”, which is
also the side with the spring.
Moisture, oil, or condensate can be removed from the
distance piece with the purge gas by using the lower
distance piece connection (drain location) as the purge
gas outlet connection.

devices should be selected to meet local code
requirements. Shutdown/alarm devices typically used on
Corken compressors are as follows:
Padding (Buffering):
If purging is not practical, the distance piece can be
pressurized with a static pressure. This is called padding
or buffering. Padding is done at a pressure above the
compressor’s suction pressure using a clean noncorrosive gas like dry air or nitrogen. The higher pressure
in the distance piece tends to reduce the process gas
leakage to the atmosphere. A small amount of purge gas
will likely get into the process gas. A pressure regulator
can be used to maintain proper distance piece pressure.
When padding, it is critical to maintain the proper
pressure loading across each set of packing. The higher
pressure should be on the open side of the “V”, which is
also the side with the spring.
Venting:
The distance piece can also simply be vented to an
appropriate release area, flare, or treatment facility. This
is sometimes useful for indoor installations.
Draining:
Since some oil will pass the lower packing set, regular
draining of the distance piece is essential to maintain
oil-free operation (See Figure 1.7). Corken recommends
draining the distance piece once a week for units in
continuous-duty operation. Installing a drain cock to the
distance piece drain will help simplify draining of the
distance piece.
Low Oil Pressure Switch—shuts down the unit if
crankcase oil pressure falls below 12 psi due to oil pump
failure or low oil level in crankcase.
High Temperature Switch—shuts down the unit if
the normal discharge temperature is exceeded. This is
strongly recommended for all applications. Typically,
the set point is about 30°F (-1°C) above the normal
discharge temperature.
Low Suction, High Discharge Pressure Switch—
shuts down the unit if inlet or outlet pressures are not
within preset limits.
Vibration Switch —shuts down the unit if vibration
becomes excessive. Recommended for units mounted
on portable skids.
Highly Corrosive Gases:
The compressor should be blocked from the system via
valves on the suction and discharge piping, then purged
with dry inert gas before being shut down. Experience
has proven this significantly lowers corrosion damage to
the machine.
1.8 Relief Valves
An appropriate relief valve must be installed on the
discharge side of the compressor. On Corken 107-style
mounted units, a relief valve should be fitted in the
piping between the compressor discharge and the fourway valve. Relief valves should be made of a material
compatible with the gas being compressed. Local codes
and regulations should be checked for specific relief
valve requirements. Also, relief valves may be required at
other points in the compressor’s system piping.
1.9 Shutdown/Alarm Devices
For many applications, shutdown/alarm switches will
provide worthwhile protection that may prevent serious
damage to your compressor system. All electronic

Chapter 2—Starting Up Your Corken Compressor
NOTE: Read this entire chapter, then proceed with
the startup checklist.
2.1 Inspection After
Extended Storage
If your compressor has been out of service for a long
period of time, you should verify that the cylinder bore
and valve areas are free of rust and other debris. For
valve and/or cylinder head removal instructions, refer to
chapter 4 of this IOM manual.
Drain the oil from the crankcase and remove the
nameplate and crankcase inspection plate. Inspect the
running gear for signs of rust and clean or replace parts
as necessary. Replace the crankcase inspection plate
and fill crankcase with the appropriate lubricant through
the nameplate inspection opening. Squirt oil on the
crossheads and rotate the crankshaft by hand to ensure
that all bearing surfaces are coated with oil.
Rotate unit manually to ensure running gear functions
properly. Replace nameplate and proceed with startup.
Figure 2.2A: Flywheel installation
2.2 Flywheel and V-belt Alignment
Before working on the drive assembly, be sure that the
electric power is disconnected. When mounting new
belts, always make sure the driver and compressor are
close enough together to avoid forcing.
Improper belt tension and sheave alignment can cause
vibration, excessive belt wear and premature bearing
failures. Before operating your compressor, check
alignment of the V-grooves of the compressor flywheel
and driver sheave. Visual inspection often will indicate if
the belts are properly aligned, but use of a square is the
best method.
The flywheel is mounted on the shaft via a split, tapered
hub and three bolts (see figure 2.2A). These bolts should
be tightened in an even and progressive manner to the
specified torque values listed below. There must be a
gap between the bushing flange and the flywheel when
installation is complete. Always check the flywheel
runout before startup and readjust if it exceeds the value
listed in Appendix B.

Tighten the belts so that they are taut, but not extremely
tight. Consult your V-belt supplier for specific tension
recommendations. Belts that are too tight may cause
premature bearing failure. Refer to figure 2.2B.
2.3 Crankcase Oil
Pressure Adjustment
Your Corken compr essor is equipped with an automatic ally
reversible gear type oil pump. It is essential to ensure
the pumping system is primed and the oil pressure is
properly adjusted in order to assure smooth operation.
Before starting your compressor, check and fill the
crankcase with the proper amount of lubricating oil.
When the compressor is first started, observe the
crankcase oil pressure gauge. If the gauge fails to
indicate pressure within 30 seconds, stop the machine.
Loosen the oil filter and remove the pressure gauge.
Restart the compressor and run it until oil comes out of
the pressure gauge opening or around the filter. Tighten
the filter and reinstall the gauge.

Page 10
The oil pressure should be about 20 psi (1.4 bars) minimum
for normal service. If the compressor discharge pressure
is above 200 psi (14.8 bars), the oil pressure must be
maintained at a minimum of 25 psi (1.7 bars). A springloaded relief valve mounted on the bearing housing opposite
the flywheel regulates the oil pressure. As shown in figure
2.3, turn the adjusting screw clockwise to increase the
oil pressure and counterclockwise to lower it. Be sure to
loosen the adjusting screw locknut before trying to turn the
screw and retighten it after making any adjustment.

Chapter 4—Routine Service and Repair Procedures
CAUTION: Always relieve pressure in the unit before
attempting any repairs. After repair, the unit should
be pressure tested and checked for leaks at all joints
and gasket surfaces.
If routine maintenance is performed as listed in chapter
3, repair service on your Corken gas compressor is
generally limited to replacing valves or piston rings.
When it comes time to order replacement parts, be sure
to consult the part details appendix in the back of this
Installation, Operation & Maintenance (IOM) manual for a
complete list of part numbers and descriptions.
4.1 Valves
Test the compressor valves by closing the inlet piping valves
while the unit is running; however, do not allow the machine
to operate in this way very long. If the inlet pressure gauge
does not drop to zero almost immediately, one or more
of the valves is probably damaged or dirty. However, it is
possible for the pressure gauge itself to be faulty.
In most cases, if a valve or gasket is leaking, it will create
more heat. On a single-stage compressor, you may be
able to compare the operating temperatures of the two
suction or discharge valves and cover plates to each
other. If a valve or gasket is leaking, it will have a higher
operating temperature. NOTE: This method will not be
suitable for two-stage compressors if each stage does
not have more than one valve.
Valve Inspection and/or Replacement
Before removing and inspecting the valves, begin by
depressurizing and purging (if necessary) the unit.
Disassembly
1. Unscrew the valve cap and remove the O-ring.
2. Remove the valve cover plate, O-ring and holddown
screw by removing each of the four bolts. The holddown
screw is easily removed with the special wrench
supplied with your compressor.
3. After the cover plate and O-ring have been removed,
the valve cage, valve assembly and valve gasket can
be lifted out.
4. Inspect valves for breakage, corrosion, debris and
scratches on the valve plate. In many cases, valves
may simply be cleaned and reinstalled. If the valves
show any damage, they should be repaired or replaced.
Replacement is usually preferable although repair parts
are available. If valve plates are replaced, seats should
also be lapped until they are perfectly smooth. If more
than .005 of an inch must be removed to achieve a
smooth surface, the valve should be discarded. If
plates are replaced without relapping the seat, rapid
wear and leakage may occur.
Assembly
Each suction and/or discharge valve assembly is easily
removed as a unit for inspection. If any part of the
valve assembly is broken, the valve assembly should be
replaced. See valve assembly parts details in the Appendix
E for a complete list of part numbers and descriptions.
If a valve is leaking due to dirt or any other foreign
material that keeps the valve plate and seat from sealing,
the valve may be cleaned and reused. New valve gaskets
and O-rings should be used to assure a good seal.
The valve holddown assemblies and valve assemblies
on the following pages show the various specifications
used on models 791 and 891 compressors. Since more
than one suction valve arrangement is available for
each model of compressor, it is necessary to know your
complete model number so you can identify the valve
type specification number (see example listed below).
Model number D891AM 4 FBANSNN
Valve type = spec 4
1. Insert metal valve gasket into the suction and/or
discharge opening of the head. The metal valve
gasket should always be replaced when the valve
is reinstalled.
2. Insert cleaned or new valve assembly. Make sure the
suction and discharge valves are in the proper suction
and discharge opening in the head.
3. Insert the valve cage.
4. Replace the O-ring and valve cover plate. Torque the
bolts to the value listed in Appendix B. CAUTION: Be
sure the holddown screw has been removed.
5. To ensure the valve gasket is properly seated, insert
the holddown screw and tighten to the value listed
in Appendix B. NOTE: Gaskets and O-rings are not
normally reusable.
6. Replace the O-ring and valve cap and tighten to the
value listed in Appendix B.
7. Check bolts and valve holddown screws after first week
of operation. Re-torque if necessary. See Appendix B
for torque values.

Page 13
4.2 Heads
A compressor cylinder cap and head very seldom requires
replacement if the compressor is properly maintained.
The primary cause of damage to a cylinder cap or head
is corrosion and the entry of solid debris or liquid into the
compression chamber. Improper storage can also result
in corrosion damage to the cylinder cap and heads (for
proper storage instructions see chapter 5).
Many compressor repair operations require removal of
the cylinder cap and heads. While the compressor is
disassembled, special care should be taken to avoid
damage or corrosion. If the compressor is to be left open
for more than a few hours, bare metal surfaces should be
coated with rust preventative.
When reassembling the compressor, make sure the
bolts are retightened per the torque values listed in
Appendix B.
rings should be replaced, measure the radial thickness
and compare it to the chart in Appendix B.
4.4 Piston Replacement
1. To replace the pistons, depressurize the compressor
and purge if necessary.
2. Remove the compressor cylinder cap, head and
cylinder (see section 4.2).
3. Remove the piston cap by loosening and removing the
socket head bolts holding the piston cap to the piston
(see figure 4.3).
4. Next, remove the lock nut and lift the piston off the end
of the piston rod.
5. Check the thrust washer and shims for damage and
replace if necessary.

application. Ring life will improve dramatically at lower
speeds and temperatures.
1. To replace the piston rings, depressurize the
compressor and purge if necessary.
2. Remove the cylinder cap and heads to gain access to
the compressor cylinder.
3. Loosen the piston cap bolts and remove the piston
cap as shown in figure 4.3 by pinching two loose
bolts together.
4. Remove the lock nut and lift the piston off the end of
the piston rod.
5. Piston rings and expanders may then be easily
removed and replaced. Corken recommends replacing
expanders whenever rings are replaced. To determine if
6. Before installing the new piston, measure the thickness
of the existing shims.
7. Replace the cylinder.
8. Install the piston with the same thickness of shims as
before, and with new piston rings and expanders.
9. Now remove a lower valve and measure dimension
“Y” at the bottom of the piston shown in Appendix E—
Piston Assembly Details. If this measurement does not
fall within the tolerances listed in the piston assembly
details (Appendix E), remove the piston, adjust the
shims as necessary and remeasure the “Y” dimension.
10. When the piston is properly shimmed, tighten the lock
nut as shown in Appendix B.
11. Replace the piston cap with the same thickness of
shims as before.
12. Reinstall the piston cap and cylinder head.
13. Now remove an upper valve and measure dimension
“X” at the top of the piston shown in Appendix E—
Piston Assembly Details. If this measurement does
not fall within the tolerances in Appendix E, remove
the cylinder head and piston cap and adjust the shims
as necessary. Repeat the steps and measure the “X”
dimension again.
14. When the piston cap is properly shimmed, tighten the
socket head bolts in an alternating sequence. Torque

4.5 Piston Rod Packing Adjustment
Piston rod packing should be adjusted or replaced
whenever leakage becomes noticeable. Adjust packing
by tightening packing nuts as shown in Figure 4.5.
Packing Replacement Instructions
For specific construction details and actual part numbers,
consult Appendix E in the back of this Installation,
Operation & Maintenance (IOM) manual. Use instructions
below and on the following pages that apply to the
MODEL and SERIAL NUMBER of your compressor. Be
careful to arrange packing sets in the proper order.
CAUTION: Before installing the new piston rod
packing, bleed all pressure from the compressor and
piping and purge if necessary. After the new piston
rod packing has been installed, the unit should be
pressure tested and checked for leaks at all joints
and gasket surfaces. When the compressor is being
used with toxic, dangerous, flammable or explosive
gases, this pressure and leak testing should be done
with air or a dry, inert gas such as nitrogen.
Figure 4.5: Packing adjusting nuts (models T791 and T891 only)
NOTE: Compressor models D791 and D891 do not
have adjustable packing nuts so the packing sets on
models D791 and D891 are not adjustable, the piston
rod packing should be replaced whenever leakage
becomes noticeable.
Typically, it is a good idea to replace piston rod packing
and piston rings at the same time. For instructions on
replacing the piston rod packing, see section 4.6.
4.6 Cylinder and Packing
Replacement
Cylinders very seldom require replacement if the
compressor is properly maintained. The primary cause
of damage to cylinders is corrosion and the entry of
solid debris or liquid into the compression chamber.
Improper storage can also result in corrosion damage to
cylinder (for proper storage instructions see chapter 5).
If the cylinder does become damaged or corroded, use
a hone to smooth the cylinder bore and then polish it
to the value shown in Appendix B. If more than .005 of
an inch must be removed to smooth the bore, replace
the cylinder. Cylinder liners and oversized rings are
not available. OVERBORING THE CYLINDER WILL
RESULT IN GREATLY REDUCED RING LIFE.
Many compressor repair operations require removal of
the cylinder. While the compressor is disassembled,
special care should be taken to avoid damage or
corrosion to the cylinder. If the compressor is to be left
open for more than a few hours, bare metal surfaces
should be coated with rust preventative.
When reassembling the compressor, make sure the
bolts are retightened using the torque values listed in
Appendix B.
Cleanliness:
Sealing a reciprocating piston rod is a very difficult
task. Keep all parts, tools and your hands clean during
installation. Your new packing needs every chance it can
get, so keep it clean.
Workmanship:
Your Corken compressor is a precision piece of equipment
with very close tolerances. Treat it as such. Never beat
on it to get parts in or out.
Packing Configuration
The packing for these compressors includes segmented
packing in a packing barrel at the lower end of the
cylinder and V-ring packing in a packing box cartridge
below the segmented packing.
Refer to Appendix E for packing assembly details. Note

4.7 Bearing Replacement for
Crankcase and Connecting Rod
1. To replace the crankcase roller bearings, wrist pin
bushing and connecting rod bearings, begin by
removing the cylinder cap, heads, cylinder, pistons,
crosshead guide and crosshead assemblies.
2. Drain the crankcase and remove the inspection plates.
4. Make sure the lubrication hole in the bushing matches
the oil passage in the connecting rod. If the holes do
not align, drill out the bushing through the connecting
rod lubricant passage with a long drill. Bore the wrist
pin bushing I.D. as indicated. See Appendix E for
details. Over boring the bushing can lead to premature
failure of the wrist pin bushing.
5. Inspect the oil passage for debris and clean thoroughly
before proceeding.
3. Before disassembly, choose and mark one connecting
rod and the corresponding connecting rod cap. DO
NOT MIX CONNECTING RODS AND CAPS. Loosen
and remove the connecting rod bolts in order to
remove the crosshead and connecting rod assembly.
4.7.1 Wrist Pin Bushing Replacement
1. To replace the wrist pin bushing, remove the retainer
rings that position the wrist pin in the crosshead.
2. Press out the wrist pin so the crosshead and connecting
rod may be separated. Inspect the wrist pin for wear
and damage and replace if necessary.
3. Press out the old wrist pin bushing and press a new
bushing into the connecting rod. DO NOT MACHINE
THE O.D. OR I.D. OF THE BUSHING BEFORE
PRESSING INTO CONNECTING ROD.
6. Press the wrist pin back into the crosshead and wrist
pin bushing and reinstall retainer rings. NOTE: The
fit between the wrist pin and bushing is tighter than
lubricated air compressors and combustion engines.
4.7.2 Replacing Connecting Rod Bearings
Connecting rod bearings are easily replaced by removing
the semicircular bearings. Make sure the indentations
in the connecting rod bearing and connecting rod line
up when installing the new bearings. MAKE SURE
THE ARROW AND/OR ALIGNMENT NOTCH ON
CONNECTING ROD AND CAP ARE ALIGNED.
Before reinstalling the crosshead/connecting rod
assembly, make sure the crankshaft throw and bearing
surface are clean and lubricated. Tighten the connecting
rod bolts to the torque values listed in Appendix B.
Figure 4.7: Bearing carrier replacement
17
Page 18
4.7.3 Replacing Crankcase Roller Bearings
To inspect the roller bearings, remove the flywheel from
the crankshaft and then remove the bearing carrier and
crankshaft from the crankcase. If corrosion or pitting is
present, the roller bearings should be replaced. When
replacing roller bearings, always replace the entire
bearing and not just the cup or the cone.
1. To replace the bearings, press the cups out of the
crankcase and bearing carrier and press the cones off
the crankshaft.
2. Press the new bearings into position and reassemble
the crankshaft and bearing carrier to the crankcase.
When reinstalling the bearing carrier, make sure the oil
pump shaft slot is aligned with the pin in the crankshaft.
Make sure to install the bearing carrier gasket so the oil
passage hole is not blocked (see figure 4.7).
3. In order to check the crankshaft endplay, the oil pump
must first be removed (see section 4.8).
4. Press the end of crankshaft towards the crankcase; if a
clicking noise or motion is detected, the crankshaft has
too much endplay. See Appendix B.
5. To reduce endplay, remove the bearing cover and
remove a thin shim. Recheck the endplay after replacing
the bearing cover.
6. When there is no detectable endplay, the shaft must
still be able to rotate freely. If the crankshaft sticks
or becomes abnormally warm, then the crankshaft
bearings are too tight. If the crankshaft is too tight,
add more shims, but make sure not to over shim.
(Appendix B lists the proper crankshaft endplay). When
the crankshaft can be rotated freely by hand with
proper endplay, the rest of the compressor may be
reassembled. If the crankshaft roller bearings are too
tight or too loose, premature bearing failure will result.
7. Reinstall the oil pump and flywheel and check the run
out as shown in Appendix B.
4.8 Oil Pump Inspection
If the compressor operates for a prolonged period
with dirty or contaminated crankcase oil, damage to
the oil pump and bearings may result.
1. To check the oil pump, unbolt the pump cover and
remove the oil pump, spring guide, spring and oil
pump shaft adapter as shown in figure 4.8.
2. Inspect the gears in the oil pump for corrosion or
pitting and replace if necessary.
3. Check the oil pump shaft bushing in the bearing
carrier. If the bushing is corroded, pitted or worn,
the oil pump shaft bushing should be replaced.
Inspect and replace other parts as necessary.
4. Before reassembling the oil pump mechanism,
replace the O-rings in the oil pump cover and on
the oil pump adapter shaft (see figure 4.8).
5. Rotate the drive pin in the crankshaft to a vertical
position for easiest reassembly.
Figure 4.8: Oil pump inspection
18
Page 19
6. Insert the shaft adapter so it engages the drive pin.
Chapter 5—Extended Storage
7. Next, insert the spring, spring guide and oil pump
assembly. The pin on the oil pump must align with
the slot in the shaft adapter.
8. Install the pump cover so the pin on the case
is in the opening on the oil pump assembly as
shown in figure 4.8. When you are sure the pin is
properly aligned, install the cover bolts finger tight.
If alignment is correct, the pump cover will mount
flush to the bearing carrier. If it does not, re-check
the pin alignment.
9. Tighten the bolts in an alternating sequence. See
section 2.3 for directions on oil pressure adjustment.
10. Finally, rotate the crankshaft by hand to ensure
smooth operation. Then rotate it in opposite
directions, listening for a click, which indicates
proper alignment of the oil pump’s pins and slots.
Procedures
Following a few simple procedures will greatly minimize
the risk of the unit becoming corroded and damaged.
Corken recommends the following precautions to protect
the compressor during storage:
1. Drain the crankcase oil and refill with rust inhibiting oil.
2. Operate for a few minutes while fogging oil into the
compressor suction.
3. Relieve V-belt tension.
4. Plug all openings to prevent entry of insects and
moisture. (The cylinders may also be protected by the
use of a vapor phase inhibitor, silica gel, or dry nitrogen
gas. If the silica gel is used, hang a tag on the unit
indicating that it must be removed before start-up.)
5. Store in a dry area and off the ground if possible.
6. Rotate the flywheel every two weeks if possible.

Appendix D—Troubleshooting
In most cases, problems with your Corken gas compressor
can be solved quite simply. This chart lists some of the
more frequent problems that occur with reciprocating
22.Low voltageCheck line voltage with motor nameplate. Consult power company
23.Motor wired wrongCheck wiring diagram
24.Wire size too small for length of runReplace with correct size
25.Wrong power characteristicsVoltage, phase and frequency must coincide with motor nameplate.
26.Wrong size of heaters in starterCheck and replace according to manufacturer’s instructions
27.Compressor overloadingReduce speed
28.Motor shorted outSee driver installation
29.Bad motor bearingLubricate according to manufacturer’s instructions
compressors along with a list of possible causes. If you
are having a problem which is not listed, or if you cannot
find the source of the problem, consult the factory.
Consult with power company.
Two-Stage Compressor Troubleshooting
Two-stage compressors can have problems that never
occur with single-stage machines. Interstage pressure
is an important indicator of the condition of a twostage compressor.
If interstage pressure is too high:
1. Second stage valves may be broken or leaking.
2. Second stage piston rings may be worn.
If interstage pressure is too low:
1. First stage valves may be broken or leaking.
2. First stage piston rings may be worn.
Another cause for high interstage pressure is a low
compression ratio. Two-stage machines should not be
used in applications where the compression ratio is
below 5. To use two-stage compressors in this kind of
situation results in rapid ring wear, machine imbalance
and excessive horsepower. If you think you have a
problem in this area, consult factory.
