Descriptions
GENERAL
Powerex utilizes cutting-edge compres-
sor technology to provide the most
advanced oilless reciprocating air com-
pressor in the industry. The Powerex reci-
procating compressor is available in sin-
gle and two stage models. Continuously
lubricated, sealed bearings provide oil-
free compressed air and long compressor
life. The onboard fan, finned flywheel
and temperature reducing composite
piston create lower operating tempera-
tures.
DRY TYPE INLET FILTER
The inlet filter on the oilless compressor
assures 99% of particulate free air, down
to 10 micron, is admitted to the unit.
Change every 2500 hours or more often
in dirty locations (See Figure 5).
PISTON AND PISTON RINGS
The Powerex oilless reciprocating com-
pressor pistons are made of a high-
strength, self-lubricating composite
using the most advanced technology
available. These heat reducing pistons
eliminate the effect of excessive grease
leakage at the wrist pin bearing.
Oilless Oilless Reciprocating Air Compressor Pumps
Breathable Air Warning
This compressor/pump is NOT
equipped and should NOT be used
“as is” to supply breathing quality
air. For any application of air for
human consumption, you must fit
the compressor/pump with suitable
in-line safety and alarm equipment.
This additional equipment is neces-
sary to properly filter and purify
the air to meet minimal specifica-
tions for Grade D breathing as
described in Compressed Gas
Association Commodity
Specification G 7.1 - 1966, OSHA 29
CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian
Standards Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor/pump
is used for the purpose of breathing
air application and proper in-line
safety and alarm equipment is not
simultaneously used, existing war-
ranties are void, and Powerex dis-
claims any liability whatsoever for
any loss, personal injury or damage.
!
DANGER
Teflon® rings reduce wear and provide
self lubrication. Piston rings should be
replaced every 10,000 hours of opera-
tion (See Figure 12).
BEARING REGREASE
The wrist pin bearings of the OPS and
OPT oilless compressors are needle bear-
ings protected by two outer lip seals.
This needle bearing becomes impacted
and requires regreasing at 5,000 hours
(See Figure 15).
BEARING SEALS
The wrist pin bearing lip seals prevent
the lubricating grease from leaking
from the bearing area. The two lip seals
on each connecting rod require replace-
ment every 10,000 hours (See Figure 16-
22 or page 9).
Installation
INSTALLATION SITE
1. The oilless compressor must be locat-
ed in a clean, well lit and well venti-
lated area.
2. The area should be free of excessive
dust, toxic or flammable gases and
moisture.
3. Never install the compressor where
the ambient temperature is higher
than 105
o F or where humidity is high.
