Discharge air can contain Carbon Monoxide and
other contaminants. Breathing the air can cause
severe injury or death.
WARNING
Electric Shock Hazard!
●
Before servicing or wiring the air compressor,
disconnect the power. This will prevent anyone
from turning on the power and causing an electric
shock that could lead to severe injury or death.
●
Do not allow any unlicensed person to wire the air
compressor. Always use a licensed electrician.
●Ground the air compressor.
CAUTION
●
High pressure air can cause severe injury or death.

may enter the air compressor and burn it internally.
●Do not remove any protective relayʼ s. Also do
not make a modification of the control circuit that
may result in impairing the protective relayʼ s
function. Remember that the loss of the protective
relayʼ s function may cause serious damage.
●Install an earth leakage circuit breaker between
the air compressor and the power supply. Do not
use a disconnector such as a knife switch
because it cannot protect the air compressor and
may cause burnout of the air end if a ground fault
has occurred.
Rotating Parts!
●Keep hands and rods, etc. away from the rotating
parts (Cooling fans, etc.)
●Use caution at all times, when air compressor is
powered. The air compressor may be capable of
restarting without hitting the START button.

If the inspection/maintenance is displayed, check the display contents, refer to maintenance standards
given in the compressor instruction manual and perform inspection/maintenance as soon as possible.
When inspection is complete, press and hold the SET button for at least 7 seconds.
The LCD monitor display contents then move to “Maintenance initial value completed” of the message
screen, and then return to the monitor screen 1 minute later.
NOTES:
1. MAINTenance can be reset, if the servicing is done earlier than expected and if the remaining operating time to next maintenance
is less than 2,000h in the case of A, 1,000h in the case of B.
2. On the contrary, if the servicing is done after the maintenance notice has appeared, the remaining operating hours to the next maintenance has been zero until the maintenance is done. After maintenance and resetting the counter, new counting time starts just
after the maintenance notice message has appeared on the display.

3.3.4 How to Move within a Menu Display and to Change a Setting
ー [FUNCTION MENU] and [MAINTenance DATA MENU]ー
The method and procedure for altering settings is displayed using the following as an example.
Items with a dash next to their number cannot be altered
on the LCD monitor. In this case, alter from the digital
monitor while referring to the instructions manual for the
compressor.
④ After altering the setting value, press the SET button.
The cursor moves to the number.
⑤ Press the SET button again.
The cursor moves to the first number at the top of the
screen and the setting contents are entered.
When setting is complete, pressing the MONITOR button once returns the display to the MENU screen, and
pressing it again returns to MONITOR screen 1.
The same procedure is used to alter settings for other
menus.
IMPORTANT
When altering settings of the LCD screen, number update
by button operation is slow. Press the buttons slowly
when altering settings.
The screen provides the model and serves as a target for
setting status. Check the screen when making an inquiry.

conservation mode) is selected by pressing and holding
the DISPLAY SWITCH button for at least 7 seconds.
The function sets energy conservation mode until control pressure (unload start pressure) drops to the target
value if the load and unload repeat time clears the time
limit. If control pressure and recovery pressure change
time is measured and it exceeds the time limit, control
pressure is lowered so the time limit is no longer
exceeded. ⑤

You can switch the capacity control mode by the following method according to the application. The V type is a
automatic stop type, but can also be changed to control
mode that does not stop automatically (AUTO OFF).
Capacity control mode setting can be changed by switching the digital monitor from monitor mode to setting
mode (F mode) while the compressor is not running and
setting to “0: Enable” or “1: Disable” by altering the
AUTO setting (F011) of F mode.

29 and 62 - 63. Pressure for control can also be
switched by F018 (pressure setting 1 / pressure setting 2).
The DSP has restart function for instantaneous power
interruption (IPI). When the DSP detects IPI, blinking
the AUTO START Light, the DSP restarts automatically.
① This function is abailable for IPI between 20ms and 5
seconds.
② The DSP stops automatically after detecting IPI and
the OPERATION Light is turned off.
③ After recovering the voltage, the AUTO START Light
blinks and the OPERATION Light turns on.
④ The DSP restarts automatically.
IMPORTANT
(1) Instantaneous power interruption (IPI) means that the
power voltage drops to zero (0) instantaneously.
(2) For the IPI time of less than 20 ms, the DSP air com-
pressor will continue to run.
(3) For the IPI time of more than the setting, the DSP judg-
es it as a power failure; the DSP stops but does not
restart automatically. Press the START button to restart
the DSP air compressor.

3. OPERATING THE DSP [How to Use the Digital Monitor]
3.4.7 Pressure Setting Switch Function
According to alteration of the pressure setting value of
section 3.4.1, by setting start pressure 2 (value of F032)
and recovery pressure 2 (value of F033), the control
setting can be easily switched by external button operation in accordance with usage time on the load side.
During ordinary control, the LOAD light is lit when loading and goes off when unloading. With pressure setting 2, however, the light flashes when loading and goes off
when unloading.
For details, refer to page 24. (The ECOMODE however
cannot be used with pressure setting 2.)
3.4.8 Capacity Control Flow when ECOMODE (Energy Saving Mode) is Set
(ECOMODE is set to off when shipped from the factory, but may be set according to your needs.)
Execute capacity control in accordance with the following
time charts.
(1) ECOMODE (Energy Saving Mode) setting
When you set to ECOMODE by load/unload type con-
trol, if the cycle time for load → unload exceeds 30
seconds, the start pressure setting is automatically
lowered until it reaches recovery pressure + 0.05
MPa to conserve energy.
If 30 seconds is exceeded, the DISPLAY SWITCH /
WIDE MODE light flashes; if 30 seconds is not
exceeded, the DISPLAY SWITCH / WIDE MODE
light lights steadily, and control is executed by pressure setting value of ordinary load/unload type control.
When using ECOMODE (Energy Conservation
Mode), “ECO” is displayed on the monitor screen.

3.5 Daily Operation
CAUTION
● When using the DSP air compressor, do not raise the discharge pressure excessively. Operating the
DSP air compressor over the rated pressure can result in main motor overload, shutdown of the
airend and/or damage of parts.
● If the safety relief valve has blown or a protective device has shutdown the DSP air compressor,
investigate the cause of and take corrective action. If there any questions or comments in taking these
actions, please contact the local Hitachi distributor.

① Turn on the main power supply.
– STOP lamp on the add-on reactor starer panel glows for
reactor starting model.
– Power lamp glows for −△ starting model.② Check the POWER light and LCD monitor display.
– Is the light lit ?
– Is the monitor screen displayed on the LCD monitor?③ Check the level of lubricating oil.
– Is the oil level near the red line ?
④ Set the water drainage cock valve of the cooling water
piping and the water drainage cock on the back of the
compressor to “fully closed.”
⑤ Allow cooling water to pass through.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the oil level of the lubricating oil is between the
red lines while the compressor is running. Because lubricating oil is circulated through the cooler and the piping
while the compressor is running, the position when the
compressor is running and when it is off differs, and is
higher when the compressor is not running.
③ Check the condensate drain discharge from the con-
trol line filter by checking the sight glass on the control line filter.
④Close the discharge stop valve.
⑤ Stop the cooling water.
Open the valve for draining water in the cooling water
piping and drain the cooling water.
To avoid damaging the casing and cooler, be careful
not to allow freezing during the winter.

② The first steps to resolve the lower suction vacuum
pressure are as following.
A) Clean or replace the air intake filter.
B) Clean the suction throttle valve’s valve plate.
Note; If the unloaded interstage pressure drops as
low as -0.08MPa (-12 psi), discharge air temperature will gradually increased.
③ If the DSP air compressor cannot be shutdown to
clean these parts, turn the adjusting bolt (the suction
bypass valve) counterclockwise to open. This will
allow the air intake and increase the discharge air
pressure to be geater than -0.08 MPa (-12 psi) when
running unloaded.
④ Replace the consumable parts in the air intake filter
and suction throttle valve with new consumable parts
in accordance with the appropriate maintenance
schedule.
For the detail refer to the section 9,
Maintenance the DSP.
IMPORTANT
If the discharge pressure becomes lower than -0.08 MPa (-12
psi) during unload operation, shaft sealing function decrease.
3.7.2 Regulating the Oil Pressure
① Make sure that the vacuum indicator shows a red
mark.
② Verify that the pressure gauge reads 0 (zero).

Relief Valve
① Use the relief valve to regulate the oil pressure. To
regulate the oil pressure, open the relief valve cap,
loosen the lock nut, and turn the regulating bolt to
keep the oil pressure at the specified 0.12 to 0.16 MPa
(17 to 23 psi).
・0.12 to 0.16 (17 to 23 psi) when the ambient temper-
ature is 20 degree C or higher.
・0.14 to 0.18 (20 to 26 psi) when the ambient temper-
ature is 20 degree C or lower.
(for V type, adjust at the maximum operating frequency.)
② Turn the regulating bolt clockwise to increase the oil
pressure and vice versa.
③ Tighten the locknut and replace the cap.
IMPORTANT
If the oil pressure is reduced to 0.08 MPa (12 psi) or lower, the oil
pressure sensor will detect it and shut down the DSP air compressor.

5. INSTALLING AND PIPING THE DSP
5.1 Unpacking the DSP Air Compressor
■ After unpacking the crate, verify that the inside DSP is what you have ordered, by referring to page 81 through 82
“STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS and also by checking the model nameplate.
■ Verify that the DSP is not damaged or deformed in transportation.
These conditions may cause leakage,
condensation, rusting and CPU malfunction.
■ Install the DSP on a level floor.■
Installing on a level floor is required to keep an
adequate amount of lubrication oil in the DSP
and prevent excessive noise and vibration.
These conditions may cause deterioration of motor insulation level, damage to the air end bearings and CPU
malfunction.
Prohibited
Do not set the DSP
on the blocks.
CAUTION
These conditions may cause oil deterioration, corrosion of coolers and peeling
of the rotor coatings.
Do not install the DSP near a wall. Doing
this may cause the operating sound to
resonate and increase the sound levels.
● Install the DSP indoors. Installing it outdoors may lead to a damage of the air end due to water vapor,
dust, etc.
● The DSP installation room must have an air intake opening and an air exhaust opening and must be
well ventilated. If the room is poorly ventilated, hot air exhausted by the DSP may cause the room
temperature to rise abnormally and in the worst case lead to damage of the air end.

5.4 Piping the DSP Air Compressor
5.4.1 General Instructions
① Use the degreased pipe as a plant airline pipe.
② If you connect the DSP directly to a gas pipe, use a
union or flange joint to ease disassembling the DSP
enclosure panels.
Flange Joint
③ If a plant airline pipe is longer, use a larger diameter
pipe taking into consideration the pressure loss
through the pipe.
④ If there is a concaved or upright part in a plant airline
pipe, provide a condensate drain valve at its bottom.
Stop Valve
⑦ If you connect the DSP’s discharge pipe to a main plant
airline pipe, run the discharge pipe upwards and then
downwards before joining to the main plant airline pipe,
to prevent the condensate from flowing back.

the elevated pipe and the DSP enclosure panel to
ease the maintenance servicing.

Non-Operating DSP
Closed
If you operate only one of the two or more DSPs, keep
fully closed the discharge stop valve of the non-operating
DSP.
If you operate the two DSPs alternately and automatically, use an electric-driven or any other automatic stop
valve, one that can be automatically closed when the corresponding DSP has stopped.
If you use a solenoid valve as an automatic stop valve,
consult your Hitachi distributor.
A motorized isolation valve is included as a standard
accessory. Arrange for the motorized isolation valve
to be “closed” while the compressor is stopped.
If not using the motorized isolation valve, when operating one side, provide a stop valve for the discharge
piping of the compressor that is not running and close
it completely.
IMPORTANT
Assume that one DSP is operating and another is not. In
case that the discharge stop valve of the non-operating
DSP is opened, a back pressure is applied on that DSP ’s
aftercooler, check valve, etc. As a result the condensate is
produced much more than otherwise; even the Aftercooler
is rusted internally and the check valve is earlier rusted.

Connect the pressure detecting pipe from the position on
the upper pipe, which is as close as possible to the secondary side of the motorized isolation valve, to the
receiver pressure detecting port of the compressor.
Also, avoid operating the equipment without mounting
the pressure detecting pipe. The safety valve actuates

IMPORTANT
(1) This is to prevent the reciprocating compressor’s air

(2) Usually, continue to operate the DSP as long as possi-
ble and start and stop a reciprocating compressor in
parallel as required by the compressed air demand.

IMPORTANT
As shown in the figure above, if the compressor is stopped
by the AUTO function, the motorized isolation valve closes.
If a motorized isolation valve is not mounted, back pressure rises in the after cooler, check valve, etc., when the
compressor stops running. These conditions promote
drainage, and are contributing factors to rusting inside the
after cooler and early rusting of the check valve, etc.
CAUTION
Do not install a check valve between the DSP
and the air receiver tank. Otherwise, the DSP
may hunt, that is, load and unload very frequently ; the capacity control system may not
work normally.

Drain Pipe
① Leave open the end of any condensate drain pipe.
② Do not merge the DSP’s condensate drain lines (for
the aftercooler, for intercooler, for the control line filter) into one. Also, do not merge any condensate drain
pipe into an external condensate drain pipe (for example, one for other DSPs or one for an air receiver
tank). Otherwise, a pressure difference may be generated; as a result, the DSP cannot drain the condensate
or can drain it only abnormally or you cannot visually
check whether the condensate is regularly drained.
CAUTION
Un-drained condensate can backflow to the
DSP air compressor and cause it to fail.
② Do not install a check valve between the DSP and the
air receiver tank. Otherwise, the DSP may hunt, that
is, load and unload very frequently; the capacity control system may not work normally.

③ Use the union joints that enable you to disconnect and
reconnect the cooling water pipes easily.
IMPORTANT
The control air must be as dry as possible. Connect the
control air pipe, therefore, to the downstream of the air
dryer or, if the air dryer is not used, to the upper section of
the air receiver. This allows you to less frequently drain the
condensate from the filter bowl.

CAUTION
Provide a ventilating system to the air compressor room in the event of a room temperature exceeding the allowable ambient operating temperature of 40°C (104℉). Operating the
DSP under the ambient operating temperature
above 40°C (104℉) may cause a serious problem to the air end.
① Ventilation with Ventilating Fan (Figure A)
For a small air compressor room, install a ventilating
fan with a capacity as specified by the Technical Data
for Room Ventilation. Position the ventilating fan as
high as possible on the wall and provide the air
compressor room with an air intake opening on the
bottom of the wall.

① Fill the oil through the oil filling port until the oil
reaches the upper red line of the oil level gauge. Use
the Hitachi recommended oils (
p. 7).
② Fully close the water drain valve and start to flow the
cooling water.
③ Make sure that the cooling water flow rate is normal.
④ Connect the power, and verify that the POWER light
is ON.
– STOP lamp on the add-on reactor starter panel glows for

⑤ Change 2 of 3 wires of the power cord if the display
shows CABLE CONNECTED: REV ersal PHASE.
WARNING
Hitachi has NOT filled the oil into the DSP.
Before a startup operation fill any Hitachi
recommended oils (
p.7).
If you operate the DSP without filling the oil, the
air end may be failed or burnt.
Raise the pressure as illustrated in the
Pressure Raising Pattern (see illustration to
the right). If this pattern is not followed, the
airendmay seize.
① Fully open the discharge stop valve, and press the
START button.
② Verify that the DSP rotates in a proper direction.

6. STARTUP OPERATION [Oil Mist Remover]
6.2 Oil Mist Remover
■ Initial Setting of Regulator
① Set a control air pressure to a maximum level.
Example: If a control air pressure varies between
0.54 MPa (78 psi) and 0.64 MPa (73 psi),
maintain it at its maximum 0.65 MPa (74
psi).
② Pull up the regulator knob, and then the regulator is
unlocked or settable.
③ Turn the regulator knob so that the pressure gauge
reads as follows:
Standard Setting of Regulator
MPa (psi)
Air Flow Rate
liter/min (cmf)
0.35 (51)about 100 (35)
NOTE:
The pressure gauge readings may increase/decrease by
0.03 MPa (4 psi) as the control air pressure decreases/
increases respectively by 0.10 MPa (15 psi). Remember that,
due to the regulator’s characteristics, the former rather rises
if the latter drops.
④ Make sure that the vacuum indicator does not show a
red mark.
⑤ Make sure that there is no leak of the control air pipe
joints.
⑥ Press down the regulator knob to lock.
⑦ The oil mist remover makes the gear case internal
pressure negative during operation reducing the oil
pressure by 0.005 to 0.01 MPa (0.7 to 2 psi). This is
not abnormal.
Reset the oil pressure on the relief valve.
⑧ Stop the DSP. Make sure that the solenoid valve is de-
energized to close, the pressure gauge reads 0 (zero),
and accordingly the vacuum indicator shows a red
mark.
CAUTION
1. The oil mist remover can operate when the control air pressure is to 0.39 MPa (57 psi) or more. If the
control air of this pressure is not available (that is, when the DSP is just started or is unloading with
opening the blowoff valve), the ejector can not operate and, as a result, the gear case internal pressure rises. When the gear case internal pressure reaches about 20mmH
relieve it to the atmosphere for preventing its abnormal rise, and thereby oil mists are inevitably
vented. Avoid, therefore, a long time unloading operation as possible as you can; and, if it is
unavoidable, take a precaution so that the DSP dos not suck the oil mists.
2. If you use two or more DSPs in parallel, the system forces a specific unit to unload for a long time. Its
oil mist remover ejector seldom operates and thereby its relief valve opens frequently with much oil
mists vented. To solve the problem, connect its control air pipe to where is always pressurized thereby minimizing the period to open the relief valve.
3. The relief valve shortly opens when you start/stop the DSP even if the control air pressure is high.
After the repeated starting/stopping, the relief valve may be slightly oozed with oil. This is not abnormal.
4. The oil mist remover consumes the compressed air of 100 liters per minute or lower or higher.
Exact air consumption depends on the setting of the regulator.
5. Take a precaution if you use the DSP in an AUTO operation mode with the oil mist remover, because
the DSP may not stop automatically due to an uninterrupted consumption of the compressed air by
the oil mist remover.
O, the relief valve opens to

7. WIRING
WARNING
1.
Always use a licensed electrician. Do not allow an unlicensed person to wire the air compressor. An
unlicensed person may wire the air compressor wrongly, and a wrong wiring may cause an electric shock.
2. Do not remove any protective relays on the air compressor. Also, do not make a modification of the
control circuit that may result in impairing the protective relay's function. Remember that the loss of the
protective relay's function may cause serious damage to the air compressor such as a burning of the air
end. In the event that you need to modify the control circuit, consult your distributor.
Before opening the starter/control box cover to service or wire the air compressor, disconnect the power;
3.
otherwise you may receivean electric shock. In addition, attach a notice on the power supply stating “Under
the maintenance work. Keep the switch off.” to prevent someone from carelessly turning the switch on.
7.1 Power Source Transformer and Power Cable
Prepare a power supply transformer with adequate
capacity. Also, use a power cable with adequate thickness
and length. Otherwise, an excessive voltage drop may
occur when you have pressed the START button; accordingly the DSP motor may fail to fully accelerate.
Also a control circuit may occur be energized insufficiently ; accordingly the DSP may be shut down.
Always control the maximum drop of starting voltage
within 5% of the rated voltage. To do so, use the power
supply transformer and power cable as listed in the table
below.
The maximum voltage imbalance between the press shall
be within 1%.
NOTES:
(1) Capacity values are reference data; some power supplies may require a larger-capacity transformer.
(2) Lower thickness values are based on the power cable length of less than 20 m. In the event that the power cable is longer than 20m,
employ a thicker one. Provide intermediate terminals to keep the thickness lower than the maximum values at the air compressor terminal
block.

⑤ Disconnect the power and verify that it is safe before
1.) Overhauling the DSP, 2.) Filling oil the DSP and/or
3.) Servicing the starter/control box.
⑥ Field wiring connections must be made by UL and
CSA certificated ring lug terminal connectors sized
for the wire gauge being used. The connector must
be fixed using the crimping tool specified by the connector manufacturer.
⑦ Use the attached rubber bushes (on the power cable
holes) and the protective tube to protect the power
cable (see illustration below).
If the customer utilize bushings by their own, follow
UL requirements. Type 1 device is the minimum level
of replacement for the provided rubber bushings.

CAUTION
An unprotected power cable can cause direct
contact with the steel plates e. g. the power
cable holes is resonated with a slight vibration, it could damage the cover over time and
result in a short circuit accident.
CAUTION
● Install an earth leakage circuit breaker between the air compressor and the power supply. Do not use
a mere disconnector such as a knife switch in wiring because it cannot protect the air compressor
and may result in a burning of the air end if a ground fault has occurred.
● Ground the air compressor; otherwise you may receive an electric shock, or the air compressor may
fail. As a ground, do not use a steel skeleton of the building because it may cause an operational failure. Ground independently and directly into the earth.

■ Other Operating Precautions
7. WIRING [Connecting a Power Cable]
(1) A thermal relay is not provided on the main circuit of
the inverter-controlled DSP. Instead, the electronics-type thermal relay is built into the inverter for
protecting the main circuit.
(2) Phase failure is only enabled immediately after con-
necting the power. If a phase failure occurs during
operation, it is not detected and eventually causes the
inverter to overheat. Tightly fasten, therefore, the
cables/wires.
(3) Do not install a power-factor enhancing capacitor on
the motor side. Failure to observe this may cause the
inverter’s capacitors to receive the larger charging
current, resulting in a failure of the inverter.
(4) If radios, TV sets, or any other electronics devices
are located around the DSP, install the HITACHI
noise filters (as specified below) on the power cable.
(5) The inverter in the starter is attached with a digital
operator for setting and operating the inverter.
Hitachi has finished adjusting the digital operator to
the appropriate settings, before shipping the DSP
from the factory. Do not operate the attached digital operator; otherwise the inverter may malfunction and cause a problem.

minutes after disconnecting the power.
(6) In the cases below ①②, a surge voltage may be gen-
erated in the inverter input side, which may cause a
inverter failure. In such cases, install an AC reactor
shown in the following table between power and the
air compressor. ① An phase advance capacitor
installed between power and the air compressor
opens and closes. ② The maximum voltage imbalance between the phases shall be over 1%.

8. STANDARD COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS
8.1 Standard Components
⑴ Air End
A pair of screw rotors rotates while the timing gear
keeps a very small gap between them. This non-contacting, high-speed rotation of the rotors compresses
the intake air. Because oil is not injected onto the
rotors during the compression, an oil-free air is discharged.
The air end consists of the following parts:
⑴Rotor s: The surfaces of both the male and
female rotors are finished with a special
heat-resistant coating for maintaining the
minimum gap between the rotors.
⑵Beari ngs: The larger-load male rotor is support-
ed by the bearings that are larger in diameter, that is, longer in service life.
⑶Case: A cooling water jacket is provided on the
case to absorb the compressing heat.
⑷Timin g Gears:A pair of the precision-finished
timing gears is mounted on the ends of the
screw rotor shafts. It keeps a very small gap
between the rotors and allows them a noncontacting rotation.
⑸Shaft Seal: The sealing mechanism consists of
the air seals and the visco-type seals. The
air seals prevent the compressed air from
leaking from the compression chamber while
the visco-type seals the oil that lubricates
the gears and bearings from entering the
compression chamber.
⑵ Compressor Drive Train
The DSP employs a high efficient, 2-pole, totally
enclosed, fan-cooled motor for the model. The motor
speed is increased to a rated level, each of the first
and second-stage air ends, by the stepup gears in the
gear case.
⑶ Capacity Control System
When a demand of compressed air decreases, the system closes the suction throttle valve and at the same
time blows off the internal compressed air to the outside; thus the DSP unloads. For more information,
see page 53.
When demand of the compressed air decreases, the
system reduces the motor speed and purges the
compressed air to atmosphere simultaneously.
⑷ Intercooler
The DSP employs a shell-and-tube type of watercooled intercooler. The intercooler cools the hot,
compressed air of about 0.20MPa (29 psi) that is discharged from the first-stage air end. After reducing
the compressed air temperature down to less than
the cooling water temperature + 15 to 20℃ (59℉ to
68℉),the intercooler separates the condensed water
from the compressed air. The cooled, compressed air
flows into the aftercooler.
⑸ Aftercooler
The DSP employs a shell-and-tube type of watercooled Aftercooler. Located after the check valve, the
Aftercooler cools the hot, compressed air that is discharged from the second-stage air end.
After reducing the compressed air temperature down
to less than the cooling water temperature + 10 to
20℃, the Aftercooler separates the condensed water
from the compressed air.
⑹ Check Valve
Located downstream the second-stage air end, the
check valve prevents the discharge air from flowing
back.
⑺ Lubricating Subsystem
Lubricating subsystem consists of the oil pump, oil
strainer, oil filter, oil cooler, and oil temperature control valve. The oil pump circulates the oil in the gear
case oil sump through the lubricating subsystem and
thereby lubricates the bearings, gears, etc.
⑻ Air Intake Filter
The DSP employs a dry-type air intake filter that is
easily cleaned and replaced.
⑼ Cooling Fan
The small cooling fan cools the inside of the package,
and exhausts the internal compressed air that is
released to atmosphere during the unloading process.
⑽ Starter
Either starter employs a printed circuit board on
which a microprocessor is mounted, and thereby you
can easily choose an operation mode and control function. Both the models come standard with the terminals for a remote operation.
⑾ Enclosure
The enclosure panels are attached with the sound
absorbing materials. The front enclosure panel
includes a door that eases your maintenance services.

8. STANDARD COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS [Air/Oil Flow]
8.2 Air/Oil Flow
Compressor Air Flow
Intake air is compressed and heated by the 1st stage air
end; its pressure is built up to approximately 0.20MPa
(29 psi). The heated air is cooled down to the cooling
water temperature + 15 to 20℃ (59℉ to 68℉). The air
is further compressed and heated by the 2nd stage air
end; its pressure is built up to a rated level.
The reheated air flows through the check valve to the
aftercooler. The compressed air is cooled down to less
than/equal to the cooling water temperature + 13℃
(55.4℉) by the aftercooler and discharged to a plant airline pipe.
Oil Flow
Oil sump is located in the bottom of the gear case. Oil
flows through the oil strainer with a 120-mesh filter
screen to the oil pump driven by a dedicated motor.
After filtration through the oil filter with 5μm filter fine-
ness, cooled oil lubricates 1st stage air end, 2nd stage air
end bearings and gears of speed-up devices.
The oil is collected in the gear case and recycled.
Gear Case Vent Pipe
A small quantity of compressed air leaks from the air
ends into the gear case; the gear case is internally pressurized. The extended gear case vent pipe relieves the
internal pressure to the outdoors; thus it prevents an
abnormal rise of the gear case internal pressure.
Cooling Air Flow
A small quantity of compressed air leaks from the air
ends into the gear case; the gear case is internally pressurized. The extended gear case vent pipe relieves the
internal pressure to the outdoors; thus it prevents an
abnormal rise of the gear case internal pressure.
Cooling Water Flow
Cooling water remove heat from the intercooler, the
aftercooler, the oil cooler and the casing of air ends Refer
to “Cooling Water Flow Diagram” about each route of
cooling water flow in the package (
page 59).

1. Cooling Water Quality
If a cooling tower (open-type circulatory cooling water
system) supplies the cooling water to the DSP, problems
such as corrosion, scale, and slime may be caused by: (1)
higher mineral content due to concentration, (2) contamination by foreign matter like insects, and/or (3) production of algae or bacterium. Use the cooling water of as
good a quality as possible.
① When stopping the DSP, also stop the cooling water
flow. Open the petcock and the water drain valve to
drain the cooling water. Failure to do so may cause the
cooling water pipe to be iced and burst in winter
season. Failure to do so may also cause the air end
case to be overcooled and dewed with the condensate
internally; the cooling water jackets to be attached
with the scale.
Water Relief Pet Cock
Water Drain Valve
② Clean the cooling water subsystem (cooling water
jackets of the first- and second- stage air-ends, intercooler, Aftercooler, and oil cooler) periodically.
2. Control of Cooling Water
The service life of the cooling water system depends on
water quality. If the cooling water quality is not good, the
cooler pipes can be corroded, or scale can be generated.
To avoid the problem, periodically sample the cooling
water used and subject it to quality inspection.
3. Quantity and Pressure of Cooling Water
The table below lists desirable cooling water quality that
is applicable to the open type circulatory system.
CAUTION
Performance of Aftercooler and oil cooler varies depending on the extent of throttling the
stop valve at the extent of throttling the stop
valve at the cooling water inlet and outlet.
For controlling the cooling water flow rate, use
the stop valve at the outlet leaving the stop
valve at the inlet fully opened.

8. STANDARD COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS [Capacity Control System]
8.4 Capacity Control System
8.4.1 Standard Load-Unload Operation
The unloading process occurs when the compressed air
demand decreases and the discharge pressure rises as
high as cut-out pressure. The pressure sensor (PS)
detects the high pressure and energizes the 3-way solenoid valve (20Ux), changing its port to port connection.
The control air is now flowing to and pressurizing chamber (A) of the suction throttle valve (STV), consequently
closing the suction throttle valve (STV) and unloading
the airend while the blowoff valve opens and exhausts
the internal compressed air to atmosphere.
The loading process occurs when the compressed air
demand increases and the discharge pressure dropped as
low as cut-in pressure. The pressure sensor (PS)
detects the low pressure and 3-way solenoid valve
(20Ux), suction throttle valve (STV), and blowoff valve
work in reverse action and the airend reloads.

8. STANDARD COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS [Capacity Control System]
① CPCS Motor Speed Control
Based on the pressure signals detected by the pressure
sensor, the built in circuit board’s CPU performs PID
operations or calculates the motor speed that will meet
the compressed air consumption rate, and then inputs
the calculated results to the inverter. The inverter will
output the instructions of the corresponding frequency to
the motor. The discharge pressure is controlled within a
targeted range due to the increasing and decreasing
speeds of the motor.
CPCS Motor Speed Control by Inverter and CPU
IMPORTANT
PID stands for Proportional, Integral, and Differential.
CPCS stands for Constant Pressure Control System.

P: proportional
I: integral
D: differential
Inverter
② Two-Step Purge Control
Two-Step Purge Control is activated if the following conditions below occur at the same time:
・The operating frequency drops to 40 (35) Hz (equiva-
lent to 60 (55) % of the air consumption).
・The pressure detected by the pressure sensor rises to
an upper (purge-start) pressure point.
The blowoff solenoid valve (1) will operate to start purging the compressed air (contained between the airend
and the check valve) to atmosphere. The system will
decrease the operating frequency to its lowest operating
frequency, 24 Hz, thus saving power. When the pressure
detected by the pressure sensor drops to a lower (purgestop) pressure point, the system increases the frequency
to 40 (35) Hz and the blowoff solenoid valve (1) reoperates to stop the purging, returning the system control
back to CPCS Motor Speed Control.

③ Motor Stop/Restart Control
Motor Stop/Restart Control will activated under one of
the following conditions:
・Air consumption decreases to about 5 %
・Purge operating continues for 15 minutes.
The system will then automatically stop the motor. For
protection, the motor can only be stopped once every
180 operating minutes. When the pressure detected by
the pressure sensor drops to a lower (purge-stop) pressure point, the system will automatically restart the
motor, returning the system control to CPCS Motor
Speed Control.
IMPORTANT
(1) Once the motor has stopped, it cannot restart for 15
seconds.
(2) The plant’s system pressure may drop drastically before
the motor will restart, 15 seconds later. To avoid such
problems, install an air receiver tank of volume larger
than the prescribed one.

8. STANDARD COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS [Outline of Oil Mist Remover Subsystem]
8.5 Outline of Oil Mist Remover Subsystem
The incorporated ejector uses the compressed air to generate a vacuum pressure, which maintains a negative
pressure on the oil mist remover subsystem.
This prevents the gear case internal pressure from rising
due to a resistance of the element. By installing the oil
mist remover:
(1) There is no need to extend a gear case vent pipe out-
doors, avoiding any type of trouble that may be
caused by incorrect installation of the gear case vent
pipe.
(2) Oil mists are prevented from venting from the DSP
gear case to atmosphere, keeping the DSP compressor room/area clean.
(3) Oil expenses and labor costs to add extra oil are low-
ered because the oil is automatically recovered in the
gear case.
Relief Valve
Opens when the gear
case internal pressure
excessively rises and
needs relief to
atmosphere.
Element
Utilizes a high performan-
element to separate
ce
the fine oil mists.
A small amount of oil mist is vented from the
gear case vent pipe when starting the DSP.
The plant air system pressure rises
and the ejector operates accordingly.
The oil mist remover internal pressure
maintains a negative pressure.
The element removes oil mists without
Increasing the gear case internal pressure.
The separated oil is recovered in the
gear case and reused by the DSP.
Ejector
Uses the compressed air to
generate a vacuum pressure,
which maintains a negative
pressure on the oil mist
remover subsystem.

A
9.4 How to Service the DSP Air Compressor
Before servicing the DSP air compressor, stop it, disconnect the power (turn off the earth leakage (ground) circuit
breaker) and verify that the compressor’s internal pressure has dropped to atmospheric pressure.
The maintenance intervals shown refer to the standard Maintenance Schedule (A).
Air Intake Filter – (Replace Bi-Annually)
1
A differential pressure sensor is provided on the suction
throttle valve to detect the pressure differential across
the air intake filter. When the sensor detects a pressure
differential as large as 4.98 kPa (0.7 psi) during operation,
AIR FILTER CLOG appears on the display. If this occurs,
clean or replace the air intake filter in accordance with
Maintenance Schedule (A) or (B). The procedure for
cleaning the air intake filter is as follows:
① Stop the DSP air compressor and turn off the main
power supply.
② Open the upper-left cover.
Upper-Left Cover
ir Intake
Filter Cover
Wing Nut
If the air intake filter is clogged with dust/dirt particles, less air is taken in and discharge air temperature
rises. If the compressor room environment is dusty or dirty, service the air intake filter more frequently
than instructed on the Maintenance Schedule.
Air Intake Filter
Differential
Pressure
Sensor
CAUTION
③ Remove the filter cover and wipe away the dirt from
inside the filter duct.
④ Loosen the wing nut and remove the filter element.
Remove large dirt by tapping the filter element lightly,
and clean the inside by blowing the remaining dirt
with compressed air.
⑤ If the filter element is excessively dirty, clean by
immersing in for about 30 minutes in a neutral detergent diluted with water. After doing so, rinse well
with clean water (max. water pressure 0.27 MPa (39
psi)). Shake off the excess water and allow it to dry.
⑥ After making sure the filter element is dry, mount the
filter element in the filter duct and fasten with the
wing nut.
Drain check (intercooler, after cooler) (daily), strainer element (for
Condensate may drain from the compressor according to operating conditions (high humidity, etc.).
Check the drainage daily, periodically inspect and clean the strainer and orifices. For details concerning how to check
the drainage, see page 6. The solenoid valve of the intercooler and after cooler operates automatically every 20 seconds
to discharge water together with air.

■ Cleaning the strainer element while the
compressor is running
If the strainer needs to be cleaned while the compres-
sor is running, consult with your dealer or Hitachi
Service Station. Under ordinary circumstances, pressure is applied to the strainer while the compressor is
running. You should therefore exercise maximum caution when removing the strainer.
(1) Intercooler side
① Switch 3-way changeover valve I on the intercool-
er side from the “A” side to the “B” side.
② Remove the element. Pressure is applied to the
strainer, so be extremely careful when opening the
cover of the strainer.
③ Clean the element and mount it by performing the
procedure in reverse order.
④ Switch 3-way changeover valve I on the intercool-
er side from the “B” side to the “A” side.
(2) After cooler side
① Switch 2-way valve A on the after cooler side from
the “C” side to the “D” side.
② Make sure 2-way valve B is fully closed (“E” side).
In this state, strainer side pressure is drained.
③ Remove the strainer element. If 2-way valves A
and/or B are opened even the slightest amount,
pressure is applied to the strainer. You should
therefore make certain that the valves are fully
closed.
④ If 2-way valve B is opened to the “F” side in this
state, condensate can be drained while cleaning
the strainer element.
⑤ Place the cleaned element in its former position in
the strainer and mount by performing the procedure in reverse order.
⑥ Switch 2-way valve A on the after cooler side from
the “D” side to the “C” side. Also make sure
2-way valve B is fully closed.

[Orifice cleaning]
9. MAINTAINING THE DSP [How to Service the DSP Air Compressor]
■ Orifice cleaning
Inspect and clean the orifices annually. Be sure to turn
the compressor off before inspecting and/or cleaning
the orifices.
■ Strainer element / solenoid valve of drain
replacement
Replace the solenoid valve of the drain and the strain-
er element every 2 years (if operating 8000 hours per
year) or 3 years (if operating 4000 hours per year)
with new parts.
Orifices
CAUTION
● Make sure a minute quantity of condensate
drains from the intercooler discharge port
every 20 seconds when loading the compressor.
● If no condensate comes out, clean the
strainer element and orifices.
● If the compressor is operated with no con-
densate being discharged, it could cause
the inside of the compressor to rust and
could result in a serious accident.

10. PRECAUTIONS WHEN THE COMPRESSOR IS TO BE IDLE FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME
① If the compressor is not to be used for a week or
more, be sure to press the UNLOAD STOP button on
the instrument panel.
The compressor then unloads for 5 minutes and auto-
matically stops when the compressor and its piping
are dry.
IMPORTANT
Unloading the compressor prior to stopping enables
moisture in the second stage air end to be removed.
Drying out the inside of the compressor is an effective
way to prevent rust from developing in the second stage
air end when unused for an extended period of time.
② To prevent the inside of the compressor from rusting,
press the UNLOAD STOP button and dry the compressor for 5 - 10 minutes a week.

③ Be sure to turn off the power if the compressor is not
to be used for an extended period of time.
CAUTION
● Failure to take measures to prevent rust could result in rusting due to humidity in the atmosphere or
lack of oil film in the bearings, and could cause the compressor to freeze up or could result in
damage to the bearings when operation is restarted.
● The UNLOAD STOP button is not only used when the compressor is to be idle for an extended period
of time; it is also effective way to prevent the inside of the compressor from rusting during routine
operation as well.
■ Performing unload stop during dual/
backup operation and/or multiple unit
control operation (optional)
If the compressor is to be idle for an extended period
of time, turn off dual/backup operation and/or multiple
unit control operation, press the UNLOAD STOP
button while the compressor is running and dry out
the compressor.
The UNLOAD STOP button is effective when opera-
tion control is set to “SINGLE.” For information on
operation control settings, see page 19.)
When restarting operation, return the operation con-
