Fig. 4 Machine layout


1 Inlet valve 6 Control cabinet
2 Minimum pressure/check valve 7 Oil separator tank
3 Drive motor 8 Air filter
4 Oil filter 9 Oil/air cooler
5 Airend

Ambient air is cleaned as it is drawn in through the filter 8 .


The air is then compressed in the airend 5 .
The airend is driven by an electric motor 3 .
Cooling oil is injected into the airend. It lubricates moving parts and forms a seal between the rotors
themselves and between them and the airend casing. This direct cooling in the compression chamber
ensures a very low airend discharge temperature.
Cooling oil recovered from the compressed air in the oil separator tank 7 gives up its heat in the oil
cooler 9 . The oil then flows through the oil filter 4 and back to the point of injection. Pressure within
the machine keeps the oil circulating. A separate pump is not necessary. A thermostatic valve main‐
tains optimum cooling oil temperature.
Compressed air, freed of cooling oil in the oil separator tank 7 , flows through the minimum pressure/
check valve 2 into the air cooler 9 . The minimum pressure/check valve ensures that there is always
a minimum internal air pressure sufficient to maintain cooling oil circulation in the machine.
The air cooler brings down the compressed air temperature of only 5 to 10 K above ambient. Most of
the moisture carried in the air is removed during this cooling process.

4.3 Floating relay contacts


Floating relay contacts are provided for the transfer of signals, messages.
Information on location, loading capacity and type of message or signal is found in the electrical
diagram.
If the floating relay contacts are connected to an external voltage source, voltage may be
present even when the machine is isolated from the power supply.

4.5 Operating and Control Modes


4.5.1 Operating modes of the machine
The machine operates in the following modes:
■ LOAD:
The inlet valve is open. The airend delivers compressed air to the air system.
The drive motor runs under full load.

Service Manual Screw Compressor


9_5700 10 E CSD 29
4 Design and Function
4.5 Operating and Control Modes

■ IDLE:
The inlet valve is closed. The minimum pressure/check valve shuts off the oil separator from the
air system. The oil separator tank is vented.
A small volume of air circulates through the bleed hole in the inlet valve, through the airend and
back to the inlet valve via the venting line.
The drive motor runs unloaded, with low power consumption.
■ STANDSTILL:
The inlet valve is closed. The minimum pressure/check valve shuts off the oil separator from the
air system. The oil separator tank is vented.
The drive motor is stopped.
Option C1 ■ MODULATING CONTROL:
With the help of a control valve; the proportional controller, the opening and closing of the inlet
valve is continuously varied in relation to the actual air demand. The airend delivers compressed
air to the air system.
The loading and power consumption of the drive motor rises and falls with the air demand.
The control valve is factory set. Contact the KAESER service representative before changing the
settings.

4.5.2 Control Modes


Using the selected control mode, the controller switches the drive motor according to definite rules
(the control mode) between the various operating modes in order to compensate for air being drawn
off by consumers and maintain the machine's working pressure between the preset cut-in and cut-
out pressures.

SIGMA CONTROL can work in the following control modes:


■ DUAL
■ QUADRO
■ VARIO
Option C1 ■ MODULATING control

DUAL

In the DUAL control mode, the compressor is switched back and forth between LOAD and IDLE to
maintain pressure between the preset minimum and maximum values. When maximum pressure is
reached, the machine switches to IDLE. When the preset idle period has elapsed, the machine
switches to STANDSTILL.
The shorter the idle period setting, the sooner (and more frequently) the motor is stopped.

QUADRO

In the QUADRO mode, the controller operates as in the DUAL mode during periods of high air demand
by switching between LOAD and IDLE, but during periods of low air demand it switches directly to
STANDSTILL.
This mode of control requires two preset time periods: the running period and the idle/standstill pe‐
riod.
The shorter these periods, the sooner (and more frequently) the motor stops.

4.6 Safety Devices

VARIO

The VARIO mode is based on the DUAL control mode. The difference to DUAL is that the idle period
is automatically lengthened or shortened to compensate for higher or lower drive motor starting fre‐
quencies.

Option C1 MODULATING control

MODULATING control is based on the DUAL control mode. The difference to DUAL is that the air
delivery is continuously varied within the control range of the machine.
This control mode is not available on variable speed drive machines with a frequency convert‐
er (SFC).

B Exhaust air duct
Z Cooling air inlet aperture

CAUTION
Ambient temperature too low!
Frozen condensate and highly viscous cooling oil can cause damage when starting the machine.
➤ Make sure that the temperature of the machine is at least +3 °C before starting.
➤ Heat the machine room adequately or install an auxiliary heater.

1. If installed outdoors, protect the machine against frost, direct sunlight, dust and rain.
2. Ensure accessibility so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or hin‐
drance.

5.2.2 Ensure adequate ventilation.


If the ventilation is insufficient, a dangerous vacuum can build up in the machine room.

➤ Ensure that the volume of air flowing into the machine room is at least equivalent to that being
removed from it by the machine and exhaust fan.
➤ Make sure that the machine and exhaust fan can only operate when the inlet aperture is actually
open.
➤ Keep the inlet and exhaust apertures free of obstructions so that the cooling air can flow freely
through the machine room.

5.2.3 Exhaust duct design


The machine can only overcome the air resistance at the cooling air inlet and exhaust determined by
the duct design. Any additional air resistance will reduce airflow and deteriorate machine cooling.

5.3 Operating the Machine in an Air System.

➤ Consult the KAESER service representative before deciding on:


■ the design of the exhaust air ducting
■ the intersection between the machine and the exhaust air duct
■ the length of the ducting
■ the number of duct bends
■ the design of flaps or shutters
Use only motorised ventilation flaps and louvers on variable frequency drive (SFC) machines.
Flaps or louvers that open through the pressure of the airflow against the force of gravity do not
open sufficiently at low cooling fan speeds.

Further information Further information on installation of exhaust air ducts can be found in chapter 13.3.

5.3 Operating the Machine in an Air System.


If the machine is supplying an air system, the system operating pressure may not exceed 16 bar.
When charging a fully vented air system there is generally a very high rate of airflow through the air
treatment devices. These cannot function correctly under such conditions. Air quality suffers.
To ensure the desired air quality when charging a vented air network, we recommend the installation
of an air main charging system.
➤ Consult KAESER for advice on this subject.

The machine is designed for a clockwise phase sequence.
Ideally, the direction of phase rotation should be measured with a phase sequence meter.
Alternatively, start the machine very briefly and observe the direction of rotation of the motor cooling
fan.
1. Check the direction of phase rotation with a phase sequence meter.
2. If the direction is incorrect, reverse the supply phases L1 and L2.
You have no phase sequence meter?
➤ Switch the machine on and off again the moment the drive motor begins to turn.
➤ Compare the direction of rotation of the motor with the arrows on the motor and the airend
casing.
➤ If the direction is incorrect, reverse supply phases L1 and L2.

7.8 Starting the Machine for the First Time


Precondition No personnel are working on the machine,

➤ Keep an eye on the machine during the first few hours of operation to ensure that it is
operating correctly.
➤ After the first 50 operating hours, check all electrical connections and tighten where nec‐
essary.

7.9 Setting the Setpoint Pressure


The setpoint pressure p1 is factory set to the highest possible value.
Adjustment is necessary for individual operating conditions.
Do not set the setpoint pressure of the machine higher than the maximum working pressure of
the air system.
The machine may not toggle more than twice per minute between LOAD and IDLE.
To reduce the cycling (toggling) frequency:
➤ Increase the difference between cut-in and cut-out pressure.
➤ Add a larger air receiver downstream to increase buffer capacity.
➤ Set the setpoint pressure as described in the SIGMA CONTROL operating instructions.

7.10 Changing the display language


The controller can display text messages in several languages. The display language can be changed
first during initial start-up.
