The compressor block includes:
• Crankcase (3) and cylinders (5)(6)
• Air inlet filter (AF) and inlet silencer (2)
• Fan (FN)
• Air cooler piping (4)
• Check valve (CV), and waterseparator (WS)
• Safety valve (SV1) on the low pressure side
• Safety valve (SV2) on the high pressure side
The base-mounted unit is a unit with an electric motor and air pressure switch, built on a frame (no air
receiver).
An air temperature switch is delivered loose when booked optionally, unless mandatory by the classification
body.
2.2 Components
Solenoid valve
The solenoid valve allows the compressor to start unloaded. The valve opens for 8 seconds during every start-
up sequence.
At the first start-up, verify the proper working by keeping a piece of paper, cloth in flow-path or by spraying
some leak-finder on the valve outlet.

2.3 Options
The compressors are extendible with the following options. For detailed information consult Atlas Copco.
Note: The compressor has been tested at manufacturers works. The settings of the
alarm system have the correct values.
It is recommended not to change these settings for proper and secure operation of
your compressor.
The oil level switch monitors the oil level inside the crankcase and is activated when certain (low) level is
reached. Moreover, in case a control cubicle is supplied with the compressor the switch is wired to a potential
free contact (available on terminals) and shall activate an indication lamp.
To compensate for the impact of ship motion on the level switch, the control circuit includes delay timer set
at 3 seconds. This delay can never be set longer then 10 seconds.
12 2920 7092 60
Instruction book
For units delivered without cubicle, it is advised to execute the control circuit in such a way that the oil level
switch stops the compressor in case of low oil level (as per class requirements). This is a standard practice on
the units delivered with a control cubicle.
There are two different oil level switch versions, depending the size of the unit.
• LT 3, LT 5, LT 7 and LT 10 use an oil level switch mounted on an expansion module at the side of the
piston block. It comes with an extra rubber ring to compensate for rapid changes in oil level due to ship
motion.
• LT 15 and LT 20 use an oil level switch mounted directly in the piston block crankcase.
The thermistor protection is used for tripping motors, whenever the excessive temperature develops in the
windings.
2920 7092 60 13
Instruction book
Purpose of master-slave configuration is to equalize the running hours between both compressors and avoid
long stop or stand still of one compressor.
Please note that no stop valves are allowed to be closed between two pressure switches when running in
master-slave configuration. Both compressors should be switched to “auto” position if controlled by the
master/slave configuration.
Caution: If the switch position is set to “Manual”, the pressure switches are bypassed
and the compressor will not stop and has an overpressure protection only by the safety
valve.
Control cubicle is standard equipped with following switches and signal lights:
1. Main switch (MS): disconnects compressor from power supply network
2. Hour counter (h): indicates compressor running hours
3. Green light (H1): indicates if compressor is running
4. Red light (H2): indicates motor overload warning
5. Selector switch with following positions (S1)
• Auto: Compressor is on and working is controlled by pressure switch (see Adjustment of pressure
switch)
• 0: Compressor is switched off
• Manual: Compressor is always on. Regulation by pressure switch is by-passed. Safety valve will blow
off if pressure exceeds maximum allowable working pressure.
Optionally, control cubicle is foreseen with following:
14 2920 7092 60
Instruction book
1. Red light (H3): Air temperature warning light. If air temperature exceeds setting of air temperature switch,
a red indication light will switch on.
2. Red light (H4): Oil level switch indicator. If oil level in the crankcase drops below minimum level, the
red warning light will switch on.
3. Push button (S2): Resets all warnings.
If no cubicle is delivered with the unit, care should be taken that all safety and regulating devices
present on the unit are connected to a control circuit in such a way that their intended working
principle by the manufacturer is respected.
LT units
Air drawn through air filter (AF) and inlet silencer (1) into LP (low-pressure) cylinder (5) is compressed, then
discharged to HP (high-pressure) cylinder (6) via intercooler (Ci).
The air is compressed further and discharged through cooler piping (4) and combined water separator / check
valve (WS/CV) towards to air receiver.
2920 7092 60 15
Instruction book
16 2920 7092 60
Instruction book
Automatic Operation
The control cabinet controls the unit.
The air pressure switch (PS) on the unit opens and closes its contacts at preset air pressures. At preset minimum
air pressure the electric motor will start. A timer in the control cabinet keeps solenoid valve (Y1) for
approximately 12 seconds de-energised, the electric motor starts. With this, the compressor unit keeps in
unload operation. After approxately 12 seconds the solenoid valve (Y1) is energised. The electric motor driven
unit comes in loaded operation.
When the pressure in the air receiver reaches the preset maximum pressure, the contacts of the pressure switch
(PS) are opened. This results that the motor will stop and the solenoid valve (Y1) is de-energized and will
open, so the air and moist is can escape to the atmosphere.
Important note:
Loaded starting and stopping is not allowed. This can cause damage to the unit.

Installation proposal
Note
Always install an air vessel between the compressor and the air network.
Location
The compressor should be installed in a well ventilated room. The inlet grid and ventilation fan (4) should be
installed in such a way that any re-circulation of cooling air to the compressor is avoided. The direction of
22 2920 7092 60
Instruction book
the airflow (indicated by arrows) needs to be respected in all conditions. The air velocity to the grid(s) has to
be limited to 5 m/s. The maximum air temperature at the compressor intake opening is 50°, minimum 0° C.
The required ventilation to limit the compressor room temperature can be calculated from:
Qv = 0.92 N / ΔT
• Qv is the required ventilation capacity (m3/s)
• N is the nominal motor power of the compressor (kW)
• ΔT is the compressor room temperature over the outdoor temperature (°C)
The pressure drop over the air delivery pipe can be calculated from:
Δp = (L x 450 x Qc1.85) / (d5 x P)
or,
the maximum total pipe length of the pipe can be calculated from:
L = (Δp x d5 x P) / (450 x Qc1.85)
• d = Inner diameter of the pipe in mm
• Δp = Pressure drop in bar (recommended maximum: 0.1 bar (1.5 psi))
• L = Length of the pipe in m
• P = Absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar
• Qc = Free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
Mounting
The compressor unit should be installed on a solid, level floor suitable for taking the weight of the compressor.
The compressor should be installed on supplied buffers, and on level surface as not to introduce extra stress
in the mounting frame and components. The supplied plates can be bolted or directly welded on deck.
Service space
2920 7092 60 23
Instruction book
Air outlet
• Always install an air vessel (7) between compressor and compressed air network.
• Air outlet pipe (8) has a cutting ring pipe fitting suitable for pipes of outer diameter 22 mm. Alternatively,
a pipe coupling with O-ring and 24° sealing cone according DIN 2353 or equivalent can be used. Optionally
flanged fittings are available.
• Install a shut-off valve between the compressor and the compressed air network for maintenance purposes.
(2)
• The LT KE range compressors are fitted with a dedicated water/oil separator.
• LT KE compressors are fitted with a integrated non-return valve. No additional non return valve needs to
be installed.
Drain outlet (6)
• The drain outlet has a G 1/2” connection. It is recommended to connect this to a drain hole or drain pipe.
• The main drain pipe must be dimensioned that the pressure increase during draining will not cause overflow
of condensate through open end to atmosphere.
Following figure shows recommended ways of connecting the compressor to the air network.

Important warning
To preserve the protection degree of the electric cubicle and to protect its components
from dust from the environment, it is mandatory to use a proper cable gland when
connecting the supply cable to the compressor.
• The voltage on the compressor terminals must not deviate more than 10% of the
nominal voltage.
It is however highly recommended to keep the voltage drop over the supply cables at
nominal current below 5% of the nominal voltage (IEC 60204-1).
• Use the original cable entry. See section Dimension drawings.
• Local regulations remain applicable if they are stricter than the values proposed below.
