Description
The AD Series Powerex Duplex Air Compressors have been
designed, broken-in and tested to meet the most demanding
specifications for low oil carryover and long life in the
pneumatic climate control industry.
The units consist of two equally rated motor-compressor
assemblies mounted on a single ASME tank. The compressor
motors are NEMA Class B design. The AD Series Compressors
are ideal for instrumentation systems requiring an alternate
compressor for standby or overload capacity. See Table 1 for
motor sizes and air delivery capacities available.
Compressor assemblies are available with or without a factory
mounted basic or deluxe alternator/motor starter package. An
unloading feature is included on all compressors to provide
loadless starting. Models with an alternator are prewired and
ready for operation. Internal wiring allows for shutdown of
either compressor for repair while the other compressor is
running.
An alternating type operation is desirable for many reasons.
When a duplex air compressor is alternated, the temperature
of both units is kept above the ambient dew point to minimize
moisture deterioration and corrosion. Also, the reduction in
on-time provides a lower average head temperature with
reduced oil entrainment potential and improves the motor life
by holding down the average heat rise.
All units are run through a factory break-in and are tested
for air delivery, leakage and power consumption. Tankmounted units are shipped with a proper fill of compressor
oil in the crankcase and are furnished with an intake filter
with a replaceable cartridge. This filter is designed to remove
contaminates in the inlet air, as well as provide a quiet
operation.
All models have conveniently located oil drain and filler ports
to facilitate routine maintenance. Tanks have a condensate
drain valve with an extension for easy access. Mounting bases
are slotted to allow tension adjustments to aid in maintaining
proper compressor and motor alignment while adjusting
tension.

Installation
MOUNTED AND CONNECTED OPTIONS
Deluxe Alternator Package
All Powerex Duplex air compressors may be ordered with
an optional deluxe alternator package consisting of two
magnetic motor starts with thermal overloads, an alternating
coil, a 120 VAC control transformer and a three-position
selector switch. The three-position switch allows for
automatic alternation or only running one unit at a time. This
will allow for service on one unit while other unit is running.
Compressor Capacity ACFM @ 80 psig
Basic Alternator Package
All Powerex duplex air compressors may be ordered with a
simplified line voltage basic alternator package. The basic
alternator package consists of an alternating coil and two
magnetic motor starters. Motor starters are selected and
wired for intended input voltage and are furnished with
properly sized overload heaters.
Automatic Tank Drain
Powerex air compressors may be ordered with a manual
or electric type automatic tank drain. A manual drain
attachment is furnished with each unit.
Vibration Dampening Pads
Waffle type design vibration pads are provided as standard
equipment.
Operation
Factory calibrated DPST pressure switches provide lead and lag
settings. When using an alternator-starter package, the lead
switch energizes the alternator and the alternator activates
the compressor that was on standby during the previous cycle.
If the demand exceeds the capacity of one compressor, the lag
switch will cause both compressors to run simultaneously. Upon
failure of either compressor, the lag switch will continue to
activate the workable compressor.
Single-phase motors (3/4 HP & 1 HP) have built-in overload
protection with manual reset. Three-phase motors require
a magnetic starter and three overload heaters. Heaters are
included with three-phase compressors that have a factory
mounted alternator.
NOTE: All pump models operate turning clockwise opposite
the motor shaft / pump flywheel / belt guard side of the unit.
Improper rotation will cause oil to spray out of the breather
vent opening.

LUBRICATION
Check lubricating oil level at gauge. Refill if necessary. See
Figure 1.
Change oil according to maintenance schedule. Before
draining oil, remove oil supply cap and loosen oil drain cap to
release trapped air. Use Mobil Rarus 427® or Mobil DTE heavy
oils.

NOTES:
1. Inspect and perform maintenance periodically according to maintenance schedule.
2. The maintenance schedule relates to the normal operating conditions. If the circumstances and load condition
are adverse, shorten the cycle time and do maintenance accordingly.
3. The tension of the V-belt should be adjusted during initial start up and inspected every 1,500 hours afterwards.
Proper belt tension for 3/4 to 3 HP units is 2-3 lbs. / 0.5 inch deflection; for 5 to 10 Hp units, 4-6 lbs. / 0.5 inch deflection.
