Atlas Copco Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-72076COMPRESSOR DESCRIPTION ww 12
The compressor consists of an overhung, open-type impeller and inlet shroud installed in a
nodular cast iron housing. The impeller is mounted directly on the high speed pinion shaft which
is supported by two tilting pad bearings
‘The main motor drives the pinion through a flexible disc coupling and single-step speed increaser
gear supported in two sleeve bearings. The gears are of hardened steel and ground to AGMA Q-
13 standards. The gearbox is horizontally split in the pinion plane permitting easy inspection of
the high speed bearings and removal or installation of the complete rotor assembly.
A unitized fabricated steel base supports the gear casing and compressor housing. ‘The lube oil
system is supplied by the customer. Oil supply and return connections are provided.

Ailas Copco Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-72076INSTALLATION .. 2.0
INSTALLATION SUMMARY
The compressor has been fully shop tested and shipped directly to the job site, Therefore, instal-
lation requirements are reduced to a minimum to put the compressor into service. The following
is a list of operations to be performed to install the compressor.
Set and level the compressor on its base; bolt down.
Connect piping.
Connect the lube system.
Align the coupling/motor.
Connect electric power.
Check the control system.
Perform a pre-start check.
Perform initial start-up.
Sx aways
tis recommended that the compressor be installed as soon as possible upon receipt. If the
compressor is not to be installed immediately, refer to the receiving and storage procedure in the
front of this book.
SHIPPING AND PACKING .. 22
Unless otherwise specified by the Customer, the compressor package has been given no special
shipping preparation. Basic procedures were followed at the factory to protect against rust and
corrosion in general and all machines are run at the factory.
Although they are shipped without oil, a film of rust inhibiting oil remains on the parts during
shipment. Upon receipt of the compressor it is recommended that all bearing and oil reservoirs
be filled to the proper level with the recommended oil.
Connection openings have been properly covered to protect against dirt entry and damage. These
covers should not be removed until just before connections are to be made.
Itis recommended that an “installation log” be established to record dates, time and data such as
oil reservoirs changing data, quantity of oil, type and make; base level setting; coupling align-
ment (see Alignment Sheet); machine and control checks and inspections.
SETTING AND LEVELING. sone 23
‘The compressor has been designed and constructed such that there are no unbalanced forces or
couples at operating conditions, The foundation should be of adequate size and rigidity to
support the compressor. The compressor should be bolted to the base to resist piping forces.
Shims should be used to insure a solid contact between the compressor and the base. Caution
should be exercised when shimming and bolting not to distort the base. Grouting is not permis-
sible since it is important to allow the base to expand freely. The recommended bolting arrange-
‘ment is shown on the Foundation Drawing,
European Gas Turbines SA 2
‘Atlas Copco Sales Order #SC:72073 thru SC-72076PIPING CONNECTIONS
ALL PIPING MUST BE SUPPORTED SO THAT MINIMUM WEIGHTS AND STRAINS
ARE IMPOSED ON ALL PIPE CONNECTIONS. THE OUTLINE DRAWING INDI-
CATES THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE FLANGE LOADINGS.
Piping should be installed such that when a connection flange is broken after the machine has
been run and is still warm, no misalignment of the flanges can be seen.
It is required that the customer install drain valves in all low points of his piping system. Low
point drains must have constant bleed orifices or automatic drains to ensure that no liquids will
collect on the inlet piping of the compressor, Provisions (such as expansion joints, pipe hangers
and supports) should be installed to compensate for thermal expansion of the piping and the
compressor.
It is suggested that in-line screens or strainers be installed in inlet lines.

‘Atlas Copeo Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-72076COUPLING ALIGNMENT... 27
‘The main drive coupling should be checked at installation and at maintenance turnaround periods.
‘The initial alignment should be done with both motor and compressor gearbox at equal temperature.
At such time the following are the desired settings for angular and parallel alignment:
1. Angular face reading vertical and horizontal should be set zero-zero +.002 T.LR. at the
indicator stem.
2. Vertical parallel offset should be such that the drive motor is .003 inch higher than the low
speed compressor shaft (,006 inch T.LR.)
3. Horizontal parallel offset should be set zero-zero #.002 TLR
The above tolerances are to be considered the maximum allowable for continuous safe operation
between tumaround periods
ALL MATCH MARKS AND PARTS LOCATIONS MUST BE CAREFULLY NOTED AS
THEY MUST BE REASSEMBLED IN THE SAME MANNER AS THEY WERE DISAS-
SEMBLED IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN BALANCE.
1, Remove center member assembly.
2. Check Angular Alignment.
Mount a dial indicator securely to the driver coupling hub with the extension arm toward the
driven hub,
Place the indicator stem to indicate the face of the driven hub near the outside diameter as
shown by indicator “A” on the Alignment Chart.
Set the indicator on “0” and rotate the drive hub 360° recording indicator readings on the
Alignment Chart at each 90°. If unable to rotate 360° due to the coupling guard, then three
readings may be taken every 90° and the fourth reading calculated by adding both horizontal
readings and subtracting the single vertical reading. An example is shown below:
10) +(-4)-
The horizontal and vertical variation should not exceed .001" total indicating reading per
inch of hub diameter at the indicator stem.
3. Check Parallel Alignment
Place the indicator stem to indicate the outside diameter of the driven hub as shown by
Indicator “B” on the Alignment Chart.
Rotate the driver hub 360° recording the indicator readings on the Alignment Chart at each
90°. A three reading alignment may be used as described above if indicating is restricted. The
horizontal and vertical variation should not exceed .001" total indicator reading per inch of
distance between shaft ends of the desired settings.

European Gas Turbines SA 23
Alas Copco Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-720764, Alignment Adjustment
Should either angular or parallel misalignment be greater than that allowed, an adjustment
should be made to the location of the driver either by shims or relocation, as the case may be,
INSTALLATION PRE-START CHECK . 28
The compressor package has been given a full mechanical shop test and unless otherwise
specified by the customer has not been given any special packaging or shipping treatment.
After following the above installation procedures, the compressor is ready for a pre-start check
and initial start-up. ‘The following is a list of items to be checked in preparation for start-up:
1, Remove all loose material from the compressor, such as tools, rags, loose parts, ete.
2, Verify that the gearbox oil supply pressure is between 15 and 25 psig and that the oil supply
temperature is a minimum 90°F, but no greater than 135°F, The oil supply design pressure
is 20 psig and oil supply design temperature is 120°F.
3, Rotate the compressor shaft by hand at the main drive coupling to ensure ease of rotation
and that there is no rubbing.
Make main power available for the driver.
Bump the driver to check for proper rotation.
See driver instructions in the manufacturer's instruction manual for further checks.
COMPRESSOR START-UP .. 2.9
Prior to starting the turbine, the following check list must be verified for atomizing air compres-
sor start-up.
1. The minimum allowable compressor inlet temperature is 200°F (93°C). Atlas Copco
recommends an inlet temperature 15 to 20°F (8-11°C) greater than the dew point.
Note: The dew point at 155 psia (11 bara) is 195-200°F (90-93°C). At maximum inlet
pressure of 155 psia (11 bara) and an inlet temperature of 215°F (102°C), adequate
superheat will be available.
we

2, Failure to maintain the specified compressor inlet conditions will result in the following
problems:
a. A temperature too low will cause excess water to be blown across the high pressure
buffer seal and will cause rapid erosion of the seal, followed by excessive leakage.
b. Small droplets of water at high inlet velocity will cause impeller erosion.
c. Slugs of water from low points in the air supply system can cause abrupt failure of the
compressor.
4. Inlet temperatures in excess of 250°F (121°C) may cause the impeller to become
separated from the compressor shaft.
3, To prevent accumulation of condensate verify that the precooler low point drain is not
plugged and that there are no low points downstream of the precooler where condensate
could collect. Any Iow points must be drained before start-up to prevent damage to the
compressor,
European Gas Turbines SA. 2d
Ailas Copco Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-720764, To prevent impeller and housing erosion by solid particles, the blowdown line from the
cyclone separator should remain open,
5. Adequate oil supply pressure and temperature must be provided to the compressor before
starting the turbine:
25 - 30 psig (1.7 - 2.1 barg)
100°F min. (38°C)
145°F max. (63°C)
OPERATION RECORD......
It is recommended that an operation log be established and operating conditions are recorded
periodically. It is suggested that the readings include inlet and discharge pressure and tempera-
ture, oil pressure and temperature, oil filter pressure, vibration level, etc.

1. Application
Lubricating cls for turbomachinery manufactured by Atlas Copco “Appliad Compressor Technique" (ACT) must
be sulted for the following applications.
— Lubricating/cooling of
* bearings.
* tooth systems
+ seals
In turbocompressors and turbines
— Lubrication of driving/output machines
* electric motor generator
+ steam turbine including regulating oil
* gas turbines
— Lubrication of directly lubricated tooth couplings
For these applications, highly-refined paratfin-base mineral cils with a good viscosity and temperature behavior
and addlives designed to increase aging stability and resistance to corrosion are employed,
‘This specification does not permit the use of oils with additives aimed at reducing wear which contain high
pressure admixtures with E.P. properties to improve the bearing capacity of the lubricating film,
2. Requirements
‘The employed lubricating oil must correspond to DIN 51816, part 1 (latest edition). To assist the user, the
associated requirements and tests aro laid down In the enclosure. In a lot of cases, testing to
— DIN
—'so
— ASTM
Js possible, For two very important requirements, ie
— water separation property
— air separation property
testing is only possible to DIN. Ifthe user's oll supplier cannot give information about these properties, ACT is
willing to
— have an oil sample examined
— make the associated DIN odltion available.
Mixed additives must not have negative impacts on metallic and non-metallic materials in the oll system, Adgl-
tives must not have metallo-organic, phosphorourisuphurour and zincous compounds, as even in the presence of
slightest traces of theso materials doposits are likely to form in temperature-strained areas (bearings/seals),
hich lead to interferences in operation, Additives must remain homogenously dissolved in the base oil at all
temperatures between pour point and 175°C, even if the oll is mixed with other approved alls. In counteright, the
‘ll must nat be cloudy or have any solid foreign impurities. The quality of the oil must not alter by mechanical
fitction or centrifuging,
3, Supervision of oll quality during operation
‘The standard oll of renowned oll suppliers is substantially better than the requirements laid down in the enclo-
sure. Differences in requirements aro an important information on the quality ofthe individual olls for the user as
itis always likely that an oll which is alot better of worse than required can be employed for the longest time in
the turbomachine, For correct ol viscosity class please refer to the instruction manual.
Ifthe examination ofthe oil in operation results in the finding that the oil no longer fulfils the requirements, we
recommend changing the oil. Should this oil change become necessary in intervals of less than two years, the oll
‘supplier must be contacted to make proposals for remedy. ACT is of course also wiling to give the user advice in
such a case,
Ol samples must be taken alter thorough mixing ofthe cil with running oil system (minimum operating time 1
hour). The oil sample should be taken from continous flow.
‘The amount of oil to be taken from the flow should be at least 1 lire. It should be filed into a cleaned receptacle
to bo closed immediately.
Buropean Gas Turbines S.A. 32

The system consists of a proximity probe, cable and proximeter (with 200 mV/mil output).
PROBE, CABLE AND PROXIMETER CALIBRATION CHECK ... S11
1. Using the micrometer fixture on the Bently Nevada TK3 wobulator, set the probe with zero gap.
2, Measure the proximeter output voltage (D.C.).
3. Starting at zero gap, record the gap and voltage at .010-inch increments until no increase in
voltage occurs.
4. Plot the voltage (y-axis) vs probe gap (x-axis) and measure the slope (change in Y / change in
X). This gives the correct probe/proximeter gain (should be 200 mV/mil pk-pk for Bently
‘Nevada proximeter systems and 100 mV/mil for Metrix-based systems).

bolt holes from which the bolts were removed in step 2.
4, Remove the two remaining bolts holding the shroud to the compressor housing,
5. Use the three (3) jacking bolt holes in the shroud to separate the shroud from the compressor
housing. Tighten the jacking bolts evenly to prevent the shroud from cocking in the com-
pressor housing. Should a fixture not be available, install another sling behind the flange to
balance the assembly. The shroud can now be removed the rest of the way from the compres-
sor housing. Care must be used as the shroud will tip when it is removed from the com-
pressor housing. Make sure the shroud does not hit and damage the compressor impeller.
6. Once the shroud has been removed from the compressor, place it on a wooden pallet or some
blocks of wood. It is recommended the shroud not be placed directly on a concrete floor as
damage can occur.
7. Do not attempt to remove the impeller from the shaft. This is an assembly and cannot be
disassembled while in the compressor. Removal of the rotor assembly will be covered later in
s procedure.
GEAR CAP REMOVAL 25.2.2
1. Remove the vibration probe(s). The radial probe(s) is removed by unscrewing the top of the
serew-cover head, disconnecting the probe cable from the extension cable, loosening the lock
nut, and unscrewing the vibration probe assembly from the compressor. Once the probe has
been removed, the tip of the probe should be protected (it chips easily) and stored in a safe
place. Wrap the probe tip in a soft material (clean rags, soft rubber, etc).
2. If supplied, remove the end cap from the gear box, This is done by removing the bolts and
lock washers from the gear box.
————————————_ ________
European Gas Turbines SA. 52
Atlas Copco Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-720763. Remove any seal piping from the compressor housing that might interfere with the gear cap
removal. Mark these lines so they are reinstalled in the proper location during re-assembly.
4. Remove the bolts and two dowel pins holding the gear cap to the gear box. Place two guide
pins at least 12" long in two comer bolt holes opposite each other to prevent the gear cap
from swinging until it is clear of the drive gear.
5. Rig the holes supplied in the top of the gear cap to an overhead hoist to allow a straight
vertical pull. Carefully remove the gear cap. Make sure the gear cap is lifted straight up so it
doesn’t swing and damage the drive gear.
6. Place the gear cap on a wooden pallet or some blocks of wood. Do not place it directly on
the ground or floor as the split-line may become damaged and cause future oil leaks.
HIGH SPEED BEARING, SEAL AND ROTOR REMOVAL, 5.2.3
NOTE: The high speed bearings are tilting pad-type beatings. Caution must be used during
removal and replacement as it is possible for pads to fall out of the bearing shell either
damaging the pads or falling into the oil sump.
1, Remove the upper half of the high speed journal bearing. This is the high speed bearing
nearest the compressor inlet. The two halves of the bearing are held together with two small
screws, Once the two screws have been removed, rotate the bearing until the split line of the
bearing matches the split line of the gearbox. Carefully remove the upper half of the bearing,
If the upper half of the bearing will not come off by hand, it may be pryed off using small
allen wrenches placed in the oil feed holes on the outer diameter of the bearing. Do not
attempt to split the bearing by using a screwdriver or a chisel as a wedge. Store in a safe
place. Leave bottom half of the bearing in place.
2. ‘Remove the high speed oil seal. The top half lifts off and the bottom half is removed by
rolling it out around the shaft. If it is necessary to tap the lower half of the oil seal to remove
it, use a soft material such as wood or plastic, Using a hard material will damage the split
line of the oil seal.
3, Buffer Seal Removal. Using the four tapped holes provided, pull the top half of the buffer
seal towards the motor. This will probably be a very tight fit and may require making a
special puller. For the seal to come out, the split line on the seal must match the split line on
the gearbox.
Once the top half of the buffer seal has been removed, the bottom half must be rolled around
the rotor. It will probably be necessary to tap the bottom half of the seal in order to rotate it
around the shaft. Use a soft material such as plastic or wood to do this to prevent damage to
the split line of the buffer seal. Repeat this procedure to remove the second section of the
buffer seal.
4, Remove the high speed journal/thrust bearing and positioning shim. Remove the two small
allen head screws holding the two halves of the bearing together. Remove the top half of the
bearing. The positioning shim will remain attached to the bearing. The rotor assembly
should now be resting on just the lower portions of the high speed journal bearings, Care
should be used as the rotor will tip toward the inlet due to the weight of the impeller.
European Gas Turbines SA
Atlas Copco Sales Order #5C-72073 thru SC-720765. Remove the rotor assembly. On large machines, this is at least a two-person operation. One
person should support the compressor impeller from the inlet. ‘The other should lift the pinion
from the opposite end and roll the lower half of the high speed journal bearing out from under
the shaft. The rotor assembly is then removed from the inlet of the compressor. Extreme care
should be used so that seal teeth, bearing and probe areas or gears are not damaged. Scratches
in these areas, especially the probe surfaces, could result in expensive repairs.
6. Once the rotor assembly has been removed, all parts should be stored in a safe, dry area to
prevent damage from moisture, mishandling or process gas.
LOW SPEED BEARING AND GEAR REMOVAL... oes 5.24
1. If just the low speed bearings are going to be inspected or changed, it is not necessary to
remove the drive gear. Remove the two small allen screws holding the two halves of the low
speed bearings together, Rotate the bearing so that the split line of the bearings matches the
split line of the gearbox. Remove the top half of each bearing. Make sure each half of the
bearing is marked for location as the halves are not interchangeable. To remove the lower
halves of the low speed bearings, it is necessary to lift the drive gear slightly. This is done by
putting a steel rod through one of the holes drilled through the drive geat (approximately 3/
4" in diameter) and rigging to an overhead lift. It is not necessary to lift the gear far, just
enough to take the weight off the low speed bearings. The bottom half of the low speed
bearings can now be rolled out.
2. To remove the drive gear, remove the upper halves of the low speed bearings as described
above, Remove the center section of the main drive coupling. Rig the gear for lifting out of
the gearbox by placing a steel rod in one of the holes drilled through the gear and attaching it
to an overhead lift. Carefully remove the gear from the gear box. Do not set the gear directly
on the floor. It is recommended that it be placed on a stand so that it is supported on the
bearing journals.
3. If the compressor is not going to be re-assembled immediately, it should be covered to protect
it from dirt and moisture and appropriate measures should be taken to protect it from damage.
INSPECTION
After or during disassembly, the following parts should be looked at carefully to determine
whether they can be reused or replaced.
5.3
1. The wheel should be examined for rubs, corrosion, erosion, water damage, or cracks. If there
is a build-up on the impeller, it should be cleaned prior to inspecting. A solvent and a wire
brush are a suitable way to clean the impeller. If any metal has been removed from the
impeller, it will affect the balance of the rotor and can lead to vibration problems,
The shafts should be inspected for wear and scratches in the bearing areas. Any build up or
discoloration in the bearing areas should be inspected carefully. Never use an abrasive on the
bearing areas to clean off build-ups.
Also inspect the probe areas of the high speed shaft for scratches or dents. Any marks in
these portions of the shaft will show up as vibration on the vibration monitor giving a false
vibration reading.
European Gas Turbines SA, 54
Alas Copco Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-720763. The gears should be examined for unusual wear, chips, cracks or broken teeth.
4. The bearings should be checked for wear, cracks, scratches, discoloration and build-up due to
overheating
Special attention should be paid to the high speed bearings, as a high speed bearing failure
can cause severe damage to the rotating elements in the compressor.
5. The seals should be inspected for rubs, split line damage and bent labyrinth teeth. The tecth
on the buffer seal (high speed gas seal) are on the shaft, not the seal itself. Minor rubbing on
these seals is common. If the labyrinth teeth on the shaft are not damaged, the seal can
probably be reused if it has rubbed slightly.
6. A general inspection of all stationary parts, gear box, compressor housing, shroud and dif-
fuser should be made prior to reassembly, Check for cracks or unusual wear.
REASSEMBLY...
All clearances and other assembly specifics are shown on the gearbox/compressor housing
assembly drawing.
Prior to reassembly, all parts should be cleaned thoroughly. All old Permatex should be removed
from the gear box split line. This can be done by using a solvent, rags and a scraper, Acetone
works well to clean off Permatex.
Low Speed Bearing and Gear Installation
1. Place the lower half of the low speed bearings in the bearing bores. Place oil on both the
journals and thrust faces.
2. Carefully place the low speed gear in the bearings
3. After oiling the top halves of the bearings, install them and connect the top and bottom halves
with two small screws. (Note: Not all of the low speed bearings are equipped with these two
sotews.) Bearing halves are not interchangeable,
4, The anti-rotation pins in the bearings must be placed in the grooves machined for them in the
lower portion of the gearbox.
5. Make sure the bearings are pushed tight against the gearbox by pushing the gear against one
bearing, holding that bearing in place and pushing the gear against the other bearing.
6. Check the thrust clearance of the low speed bearings by inserting feeler gauges between the
thrust face of the bearing and the thrust face of the gear.
7. Install the low speed oil seal using silicone grease on the inner and outer diameter.
High Speed Rotor Assembly and Bearings
1. Place the lower halves of the high speed bearings in their bores in the compressor housing.
Oil the bearings.
2. Before the rotor is put into the compressor, place the o-ring that goes around the high speed
oil seal over the shaft, Once the shaft has been installed, it is difficult to get this o-ring past
the drive gear.
3. Place the rotor into the compressor through the inlet.
Sr
European Gas Turbines SA, Ee
‘Atlas Copco Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-720764. Place the rotor into the lower halves of the high speed journal bearings.
5. Do not install the top half of the high speed journal bearing at this time, as the space is
needed to install the high speed seals,
High Speed Seal Assembly
1. Push the lower half of the high speed buffer seal into the upper half of the seal area. It may be
necessary to tap the seal to getit into place. Once itis in place, rotate it so itis in the lower portion
of the seal area, Once again, it may be necessary to tap it in order to get it into position. Do not
use ahard material to tap the seal; plastic or wood is recommended. If you have difficulty rotating
the seal into place, lifting the compressor end of the rotor up and down helps.
2. Once the bottom half of the buffer seal has been installed, install the top half and bolt the two
halves together. To install the high speed oil seal, place the o-ring which was previously
installed, around the lower portion of the oil seal and roll into place. Apply a very light
coating of silicon sealant to the split line of the lower oil seal.
3. Install the upper portion of the oil seal. It will be necessary to stretch the o-ring slightly to
install the upper portion of the oil seal. Make sure the anti-rotation pin of the seal is installed
in the groove machined for it in the gearbox. Carefully wipe off any excess silicon sealant.
4, Install the upper half of the high speed journal bearing after oiling it. Make sure the anti-
rotation pin is installed in its groove.
5. Do not install the gear cap at this point, The high speed rotor has to be positioned before the
gear cap is installed,
Shroud Assembly
1. Make sure the shroud and diffuser have been cleaned and assembled.
2. Place the o-ring around the shroud and coat it with silicone grease.
3. Using the same rigging and guide pins used earlier in this procedure, install the shroud, It
may be necessary to pull the shroud in with four bolts for the last inch. Tighten these bolts
evenly to avoid binding.
4. Once the shroud is in place, finish installing the shroud to the compressor using the housing
bolts. It is recommended that these bolts be coated with an anti-seize compound when they
stalled to prevent future difficulties when the shroud is removed.
5. Set the wheel-to-shroud clearances.
If the rotor, thrust bearing, or shroud has been changed, or the compressor housing has been
removed, it will be necessary to adjust the wheel-to-shroud clearance,
‘A. With the shroud installed tightly and the high speed positioning shim packs not installed,
place a dial indicator on the end of the high speed pinion nearest the motor.
B. Push the rotor assembly towards the shroud until the compressor wheel contacts the
shroud. AC this point, zero the indicator,
Qa
Pull the rotor assembly back towards the motor.
D. Install shims from the high speed positioning shim pack between the bearing flange and
the gearbox as shown,
ree
European Gas Turbines SA 5.6
Ailas Copco Sales Order #SC-72073 thru SC-72076E, Push the rotor towards the inlet as far as it will go. The bearing should hit the shim before
the wheel hits the shroud. The reading on the indicator will be the wheel- to-shroud
clearance. Record this reading. Once the proper clearance has been obtained, install
shims on the opposite side of the bearing flange to hold the bearing in place.
F, Remove the shim and push the rotor forward towards the shroud to make sure the indica-
tor returns to zero. If not, repeat steps A thru E until it does.
G, Rotate the rotor 90° and repeat steps A thru E until you have taken four readings 90°
apart. These readings should not vary more than .005", If they do, contact the Atla
Copco Service Department. Use the smallest reading for the wheel-to-shroud clearance,
H. Check high speed thrust clearance with shims installed.
6. After both the pinion and drive gear have been installed, visually check to make sure that the
two gears are lined up properly. There should be a minimum of 90% contact between the
teeth of the two gears. For example, if the gears are 3” wide, at least 2.7" of the gears must
be in contact. Incorrect contact is usually caused by foreign matter being trapped between the
bearings and bearing bores.
If one or both of the gears have been changed, the backlash of the gears should be checked in
four places. The backlash will normally be .010" to 025", If it is not, contact the Atlas
Copco Service Department for advice.
Replace any other piping that was removed (ex: inlet pipe).
8, After making sure that all bearings and seals are properly positioned so that their anti-rotation
pins are in the slots machined for them in the lower half of the gearbox and that both surfaces
of the split line of the gearbox have been properly cleaned, apply a thin coat of Permatex #3
(aviation grade) to the split line of the gearbox and the area where the geat cap and compres-
sor housing join. Do not put Permatex on the bearings, To prevent leakage at the comer
where the gearcap and compressor housing intersect with the gearbox, a thin bead of silicone
sealant may be applied. CAUTION; Do not apply any silicone sealant in the vicinity of the
bearings (at least 1 -2 inches away).
9. With the same rigging that was used to remiove the gear cap, carefully lower the cap so that it
remains level and does not swing and damage the drive gear.
10, Replace the two dowel pins and the bolts holding the gear cap to the compressor housing.
Tighten the bolts. Start from the center of the gear cap and work toward the outside,
11, Replace the end cap after sealing it with Permatex #3 (aviation grade).
12, Replace any seal piping that was removed earlier,
13, Replace the vibration probes that were removed earlier. When replacing these probes, be
careful not to damage the probe tips. Set the gap to the specified voltage.
