1.1 Standard Components
A standard compressor is composed of the following:

Compressor Air End – Single stage, oil-free rotary
screw design, consisting of:
Rotors: A unique and patented Hitachi design. The tim-
ing gears prevent the rotors from contacting each other.
The surfaces of rotors are finished with a special coating.
Bearings: The roller bearings support the radial loads
and the angular ball bearings support the axial loads.
Casings: The cast-iron casings provide the jacketing
which surrounds the compression chambers and ab-
sorbs the heat of compression.
Timing gear: Precision-made timing gears are fitted on
the end of rotor shafts to maintain the rotors in the correct
position relative to each other.
Seals: The carbon rings and the visco-type seals are fit-
ted on the shafts and prevent the oil from entering the
compression chamber.

Drive Motor – Totally-enclosed outer sector formed type.

Compressor Drive – V-belt drive and gear drive are
combined. Primarily the motor speed is increased by the
V-belt drive, and secondarily the bull gear and pinion
gear increase the speed to the male rotor driving speed.

Capacity Controls – Either automatic on/off line control
or automatic dual control.
ON LINE/OFF LINE CONTROL operates either at 100%
load or at part load or no load with automatic blow-off of
discharge pressure to atmosphere.
DUAL CONTROL (option) is on/off line control combined
with automatic motor stop/restart control, which meets
the widely varying air demand.

Hi-Precooler – Is located after the air end discharge and
has following functions:
1. To cool the discharge air primarily.
2. To cool the bleed-off air when the unit is unloading.
3. To protect the check valve from high temperature air.

Air Cooled Aftercooler – Is located downstream of the
Hi-Precooler, reduces discharge air temperature and re-
moves moisture. Air to air cooling, all aluminum design.

Check Valve – Is located downstream of the Hi-
precooler and stops the back-flow from the discharge
line.

Oil System – Consists of oil pump, oil strainers, oil filter,
oil cooler and oil sump. The oil pump pressurizes the oil
to circulate through the system. All gears and bearings
are positively lubricated.

Air Intake Filter – Replaceable dry type filter.

Coolant Flow System – Consists of coolant pump, cool-
ant cooler, reservoir tank, pressure relief device and
strainer. The coolant pump pressurizes the coolant to cir-
culate through air end jacket and coolant cooler.
1. GENERAL INFORMATION

Cooling Fan – Cooling air flows from the backside of the
unit and exhausts out of the top of the package.

Instrument Panel – Instrument panel is mounted with
start switch, stop switch, power lamp, LCD condition
monitor, discharge pressure gauge, remote control se-
lector switch, etc.

Starter and Control Box – Starter is a pre-wired star-
delta starter with electrical equipments and PC units, is
located under the instrument panel.

Enclosure – The unit is completely enclosed by a steel
cabinet.

Unitary Air Dryer – Refrigerating air dryer chills the
moisture and heated compressed air by means of refrig-
erant gas. Accordingly the moisture are condensed into
water, and the condensate are drained out while com-
pressed air becomes dry at pressure dew point of minus
10°C.

■ Compressed Air Flow ■ Refrigerant Flow

Compressed air precooled by the aftercooler is heat-ex-
changed with low-temperature compressed air by the
precooler A of heat exchanger, and then with refrigerant by
the air cooler B. At this time, the steam contained in the
compressed air is condensed and automatically discharged
as drain from the auto drain trap C. The cooled compressed
air is returned to the precooler A, heat-exchanged with com-
pressed air cooled by the aftercooler, and then discharged.
The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas dis-
charged from the refrigerating compressor D gets into the
condenser E. It is cooled by the fan F and turns into high-
pressure liquid refrigerant.
The high-pressure refrigerant is squeezed by the capillary
tube H and sent to the air cooler B as a low-pressure liquid
refrigerant. The refrigerant is heat-exchanged with com-
pressed air and evaporated. It is sucked as overheated steam
into the refrigerating compressor D, recompressed and then
discharged. This cycle is repeated.
The hot gas bypass valve G works automatically depend-
ing on a load and an ambient temperature, and controls the
evaporation temperature of refrigerant to be kept constant in
order to prevent condensed water from freezing by overcooling
at a low temperature and at no load.

2.4 Piping
2.4.1 Discharge Air Piping
The discharge air piping must be at least as large as the unit
discharge opening. And a drainage port and a stop valve
should be installed in the discharge line. Water condensation
can affect the operation of pneumatic devices and installation
of air dryers can eliminate this hazard.
2.4.2 Parallel or Alternate Operation (Fig. 2-3)
(1) BE SURE TO PROVIDE AN ISOLATION STOP VALVE
ON EACH COMPRESSOR DISCHARGE LINE AND
BE SURE TO CLOSE THE VALVE WHEN THE UNIT
IS STOPPED.
(2) IF MULTI-UNITS ARE SCHEDULED TO RUN AUTO-
MATICALLY OR ALTERNATELY, THE ISOLATION
STOP VALVE MUST BE REPLACED WITH AUTO-
MATIC VALVE SUCH AS MOTOR VALVE OR SOLE-
NOID VALVE, WHICH CAN BE SURELY CLOSED
WHEN THE UNIT IS STOPPED.
(3) If the unit is operated in parallel with reciprocating com-
pressors, the air discharge line of the rotary screw unit
should be connected downstream of the receiver.
CAUTION
In case that automatic valves are installed to isolate the unit
when stopped, line pressure sensing point must be relocated
from the unit aftercooler to the downstream of the valve to
use the automatic dual control of this unit.
In this case a pressure switch setting may be required to be
readjusted.

2. INSTALLATION
2.4.3 Elevated Piping (Fig. 2-3)
If the air discharge line is elevated near the unit, be sure to
provide a drain valve or drip leg to collect the condensate.
2.4.4 External Air Receiver
BE SURE TO INSTALL A PROPER SIZE EXTERNAL AIR
RECEIVER for the unit, since the capacity control is 2 steps
(0% or 100%) control. If the unit is operated without a receiver,
the frequent cycling will shorten the life of the unit. Minimum
volume of the receiver is listed in Table 2-1.
Table 2-1 Recommended Capacity of Receiver
Model Recommended Capacity
DSP-37ARI, DSP-45ARI, DSP-55ARI 0.7m3
Use a larger volume receiver (2.26 m3 or more) if optional
automatic motor stop/restart control is installed.
CAUTION
DO NOT INSTALL A CHECK VALVE BETWEEN THE UNIT
AND AIR RECEIVER.

2.4.5 Gear Case Vent Piping (Fig. 2-4)

CAUTION
Do not install anything being a flow restrictor on the gear case
vent pipe. If ordinary air filter with element is installed, the
element develops pressure loss to increase the pressure in-
side gear case; which can cause a bad effect on oil seal sys-
tem of air end.
(1) To release the pressure the gear casing has a vent pipe.
THE VENT PIPE SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE
OUTDOORS as illustrated in Fig. 2-4 so that the oil
fume from the gear casing does not flow to the com-
pressor inlet. If the length of piping is 10m or less, use
at least 11 /4" diameter pipe. If the length of piping is
USE CLEAN PIPE FOR THE GEAR CASE VENT PIP-
ING, otherwise dirt or rust in the pipe could flow back to
the gear case, which may cause clogging of oil filter.
Outdoor opening should be downward to avoid entering
of rain or dirt.
It is recommended that the opening is at least 8"(200
mm) away from the wall.
The outlet of gear case vent piping should not locate
nearby the inlet of room ventilation air duct.
(2) Install an additional oil piping which can ease adding oil
during operation; see the Fig. 2-4. The parts necessary
for the piping are without the scope of supply of

2.6 Instructions on Electrical Wiring

WARNING
1. Personnel who carry out the wiring work must have a license. Ask personnel who have license. Wiring work by personnel
without license may cause troubles like electric shock accident.
2. Do not take the protective relay off the compressor or make any modification which might hinder its relay function on the
electrical circuit. Such modification will remove its protective functions and may cause to serious accident like burning the
compressor. Ask your dealer if you must have a modification to the unit.
3. Be sure to turn the POWER OFF to get rid of electric shock accident, when the cover of starter should be removed for wiring
work or inspection. Attach a plate on the POWER side saying “Maintenance Work. Do Not Electrifying” to prevent other workers
from re-inputting the POWER.

CAUTION

Be sure to equip a earth leakage circuit breaker to the Power. Wiring with only disconnector like Knife
Switch is not sufficient and may not protect the compressor and cause burning when short circuit occurs.

Be sure that the compressor is appropriately grounded. If not, this can cause electric shock accident or
shutdown to the compressor. Do not use Steel Skeleton as a ground for the compressor. This may cause
malfunction. Ground the cable by itself into the earth.

2.7 Condensate Trap

Install Condensate Trap as indicated below.
The length of Drain Outlet piping is 5mm or less, use at
least 6mm diameter pipe.

Always keep the pet cock of Condensate Trap slightly
opened.

CAUTION
Avoid too frequent ON and OFF of dryer motor. One cycle of ON and OFF must be minimum 5 minutes. Group controller (device to
manage multiple air compressors) features repeated start and stop of air compressors. Therefore, if air dryer is in automatic opera-

 3. OPERATION

3.7 Capacity Control

DSP Capacity Control System provides On Line/Off Line con-
trol with blowing-off of discharge pressure at part load or no
load conditions; it is not a modulation control. When the air
volume required by load reduces and the internal pressure of
the aftercooler increases, the control system unloads the unit;
i.e. the unit stops the air discharge when the air line pressure
reaches the upper set point (7.2 kgf/cm2(g)) of the unloader
pressure switch. When the air line pressure drops to the lower
set point (6.2 kgf/cm2(g)) of the unloader pressure switch, the
system reloads the unit.
If the load required by plant air line is widely varying, Auto-
matic Dual Control is available as option. Automatic dual con-
trol is on line/off line control plus automatic motor stop/ restart
control. Selector switch (for either on line/off line control or
automatic dual control) is located on printed circuit board in-
side control box.

3.7.1 Mechanism of On/Off Line Control

Automatic unload start occurs as follows. Suction throttle valve When the unit is stopped, the channels of control air flow are

through COM-NO ports of solenoid valve (1). Thus the suc-
tion throttle valve is kept closed to reduce the starting load.
By switchover from star to delta (15 seconds after start) or of
reactor taps (8 seconds after start), the solenoid valves change
the port connection to:
Solenoid valve (1) NC-COM
Solenoid valve (2) COM-NC
Accordingly, the chamber (B) is pressurized while the cham-
ber (A) and (C) are connected with each other in vacuum state.
With chamber (B) pressurized and (A) vacuum, the suction
throttle valve is completely open; thus loading operation be-
gins.

NOTE
Solenoid valve (4) is energized only for 25 seconds (stardelta
start) or 18 seconds (reactor start) after the start; in which the
control air flows through the ports NC-COM to pressurize the
chamber (B) of suction throttle valve and thereby the suction
throttle valve is opened.

UNLOADING
When the air volume required by load reduces and the inter-
nal pressure of discharge air line reaches the upper set point
of unloader pressure switch, the solenoid valves change the
port connection to:
Solenoid valve (1) COM-NO
Solenoid valve (2) NO-COM
Accordingly, the chamber (A) is pressurized while the pres-
sure of chamber (B) is vented to the atmosphere.
Thus the suction throttle valve is closed completely to stop
the inlet air flow to the air end. At the same time the blowoff
valve (which is mounted on the suction throttle valve) opens
to release the compressed air in the air end through bleed-off
cooler; thus idling power is reduced.

LOAD RESTORATION
When the discharge air line pressure drops to the lower set
point of unloader pressure switch, the solenoid valves change
the port connection to:
Solenoid valve (1) NC-COM
Solenoid valve (2) COM-NC
Again, the chamber (B) is pressurized and the chamber (A) is
open to the atmosphere. Thus, the suction throttle valve is
opened completely, resulting in load restoration.

(2) Happened later than 70 minutes after start.
This is also for a motor protection.

NOTE
Motor temperature is duly reduced 10 minutes after start.
Suppose the motor is stopped within 10 minutes after start
and restarted soon afterwards; the motor temperature will rise
abnormally in this condition. Therefore the motor must be pro-
tected so that it could stop 10 minutes after start.

Read and take note once again of the safety precautions de-
scribed in this manual page 1.

4.1 Preventive Maintenance Work 4.2 Standard Maintenance Schedule

Maintenance schedule is shown in the Table 4-1 and 4-2.
The intervals there are a guide based on normal operating
conditions. If operated in a harsh environment perform the
service more frequently.
Items marked with ○ must be performed by a user while the
others marked with ● must be maintained by an authorized
distributor.
The actions mentioned in the schedule are repetitive unless
otherwise specified there; the actions at 6 months Interval as
an instance shall be carried out again at 1 year preventive
maintenance.
Keeping a record is a very good practice for preventive main-
tenance. The record also enables a distributor to find a poten-
tial cause of trouble and to thereby perform a suitable repair.
Use the attached record form.
The maintenance instructions are summarized in the table of
the following page. Before taking any maintenance actions
read the concerned section to be well informed. Time men-
tioned in the Table 4-1 and 4-2 are not a performance gurantee
period.
Standard Maintenance Schedule assumes two types of run-
ning hours per year: 8,000 hours and 4,000 hours. Either type
must be selected according to your actual operating hours
per year.
The two types are named as follows:
8,000 hours per year: Standard Maintenance Schedule (A)
4,000 hours per year: Standard Maintenance Schedule (B)

exist at point A, C and D, and 0.15 ~ 0.23 in (4 ~ 6 Fig. 4-18 PULLEY ALIGNMENT
mm) gap remains at point B.
(4) Tighten the bolt e completely and tighten the bolt q by
hand.
(5) Turn the adjusting screw a, with checking the belt ten-
sion and pulley alignment. (Fig. 4-18) Do this until no
gap exists at the point A, B, C and D with proper belt
tension. (Table 4-8) If gaps are existing when proper
tension is gotten, repeat the action described (3), (4)
and (5). For instance, if there is 0.25 in (1 mm) gap
remained at the point B when proper tension is gotten,
the original gap at B in (3) should be decreased by
0.25 in (1 mm).
(6) Belt tension must be checked on the most outside belt
and the inside belt. Confirm that the belts turn freely by
hand and tightenall the bolts of the motor foot.
(7) Reinstall the motor sliding guide plate.

* Refer to the electrical wiring diagram.

** Depress RESET button of High Refrigerant Pressure Switch.
*** Be careful when you throttle Hot Gas Bypass Valve. Because if throttled too much, compressor sucks liquid refrigerant, which causes troubles on compressor.
**** In case of forming dew on outlet, along with the repair mentioned above, drain out the condensate pooled through drain cock of pre-cooler.

WARNING
Air dryer employs safety refrigerant, Fluorocarbon (Freon). It is inflammable, nonpoisonous, and inodorous. But it produces harm-
ful gas if leaks and catches a fire, which smarts eyes and throat. Leaked Fluorocarbon hangs low in the air because it is heavier in
specific gravity than air. If this happens, extinguish fire and ventilate the room as if sweeping the floor. Consult your distributor for
rectifying the leak and recharging the refrigerant.

How to Adjust Hot Gas Bypass Valve
It is not necessary to readjust Hot Gas Bypass Valve because
it is adjusted at factory when shipping. However, in case that:

Rated dew point is not attainable, or

Air cooler is frozen because evaporating temperature is
too low,
and these troubles are not due to the causes mentioned in
the previous page, it is considered that the trouble is due to
improper adjustment of the valve.
In this case make adjustment of Hot Gas Bypass Valve as
follows.
The hole for adjustment is located at the lower part of left-side
enclosure panel. Remove cap, and insert a driver through the
hole. Turn adjusting screw with the driver.
Cap
Driver
5. TROUBLESHOOTING
1. In case rated dew point is not attainable
After running air dryer without compressed air flowing, turn
Adjusting Screw slowly counter-clockwise looking the refrig-
erant pressure gauge until its pointer indicates anywhere be-
tween 4.0 and 5.5 kgf/cm2(g). It takes 10 to 20 minutes until
pressure becomes stable.
2. In case evaporating temperature is too low
If air cooler is frozen, stop air dryer and defrost air cooler.
Then after running air dryer without compressed air flowing,
turn Adjusting Screw slowly clockwise looking the refrigerant
pressure gauge until its pointer indicates anywhere between
4.0 and 5.5 kgf/cm2(g). It takes 10 to 20 minutes until pres-
sure becomes stable.
