UL listed panel
Non-resettable hour meter for recording number of compressor operating hours shall be installed in
the instrument panel
Compressor oil pressure shall be monitored by a pressure switch and pressure gauge installed in the
instrument panel
Compressor shall shut down and a fault light illuminate if the compressor’s oil pressure drops below
the factory pre-set value during operation
Oil pressure switch shall be by-passed during start-up
Temperature switch shall be supplied on the discharge line of the final stage of compression.
Compressor shall shut down and fault light illuminate if the final stage discharge temperature
exceeds the tamper-proof set point during operation
Low oil pressure and high air pressure air shutdown switches shall be equipped with DIN type
connectors
All wiring shall be encapsulated within a split corrugated type loom. Each wire end connection shall
be crimped and numbered
All fault light shall be installed on the instrument panel, shall be red in color, and labeled
All instrument panel mounted pressure gauges shall be liquid filled and 2 ½” in diameter
• Purification System
Purification system shall purify high pressure air to a quality that meets or exceeds the following
requirements:
9 CGA Pamphlet G-7, Compressed Air for Human Respiration
9 ANSI/CGA G-7.1, Commodity Specification for Air, Grade E
9 All other recognized standards for breathing air
Purification shall be achieved by mechanical separation of condensed oil and water droplets,
adsorption of vaporous water by a desiccant, absorption of oil vapor and elimination of noxious
odors by activated carbon and conversion of carbon monoxide to respirable levels of carbon dioxide
by catalyst
The high pressure purification chambers shall have a working pressure of 6000 PSIG
System shall utilize replaceable cartridges
Replacement of the cartridges can be done without disconnecting system piping
