Compressor s416m DIY repair

With competent service - Bezhetsk compressors are "not killed" - however, it is far from easy to properly service them. The following are the principles of Daily Maintenance and the TO1 and TO2 procedures. And although the material is set out about the Bezhetsk compressors with C415M and C416M heads - for the most part it is applicable to the rest of the compressors of any manufacturer - that's what they are for.

1. Timely quality maintenance and repairs are the key to the trouble-free operation and trouble-free operation of the compressor,

2. Compressor maintenance is divided into:

2.1. Shift maintenance (EO) performed during the work shift,

2.2. Scheduled maintenance, depending on the operating mode of the head, is performed (tentatively) after the compressor head has been used up:

3. Shift maintenance:

3.1. Before starting the compressor into operation, check the oil level in the crankcase of the compressor head and, if necessary, top up to the upper mark of the dipstick,

3.2. The oil level must be checked with a cold, non-working compressor head,

3.3. IT IS FORBIDDEN to operate the compressor head when the oil level does not reach the lower mark of the dipstick. However, overflowing oil above the upper permissible level will lead to an increase in oil consumption during the operation of the compressor head and to an increase in oil ejection through the breather,

3.4. Check the condition and tension of the drive belts that transmit rotation from the electric motor to the crankshaft of the compressor head,

3.5. Check the operation of the safety valve, both on the compressor head and on the receiver. To do this, while the compressor is running, manually open the valve several times by the ring or blast head. If, when the valve is opened, air escapes and there is no increase in pressure in the receiver, and when the valve is lowered, it closes tightly, the valve is considered to be in good working order. Changeover of the safety valve is not allowed,

3.6. Check the compressor head during operation for knocking and extraneous noise. If detected, turn off the compressor, determine the cause and eliminate.

3.7. Check the tightness of the connections. If air or oil leakage is found, eliminate the cause of the malfunction.

3.8. Check the operation of the dehumidifier. After 2-3 hours of operation, after the pressure in the receiver is released, condensate should automatically drain through the moisture remover.

3.9. Constantly clean both the compressor head and the compressor as a whole from dust and dirt,

4. Scheduled maintenance - TO1:

4.1. .Change oil in compressor head crankcase, flush crankcase and magnetic plug. Unscrew the drain plug on the preheated compressor head, placing a container under the crankcase. Allow the oil to drain completely for 5-10 minutes; for a more complete drain, it is recommended to tilt the head towards the drain hole. The crankcase is flushed with a low-viscosity oil (industrial 20 or 30), for which, pour flushing oil to the upper mark of the dipstick and let the head run for 5-10 minutes at idle speed, and then completely drain the oil. Oil should be poured through a fine-mesh funnel. ATTENTION! When changing the oil, mixing of mineral and synthetic oils is not allowed, which will lead to the mixture curdling, loss of lubricating properties and seizure of the piston group. Changing from mineral oil to synthetic oil and vice versa requires a double flushing with flushing oil,

4.2. Check the air filter element and replace if necessary,

4.3. Unscrew the drain plug from the low pressure manifold on the compressor head (C415M) and drain the condensate,

4.4.Flush the water separator valve,

4.5. Check connecting rod bolts for tightness. The tightness of the connecting rod bolts is checked on a cold compressor head no earlier than 5-6 hours after it stops,

4.6. Check the tightness of the connections and, if necessary, tighten the flywheel nut, the nuts securing the cylinder block to the crankcase, the nuts securing the cylinder head, the nuts securing the manifolds and pipelines, the nuts securing the crankcase covers in accordance with the required torques,

5. Scheduled maintenance - TO2:

5.1. Remove the cylinder head, the cylinder block - clean the pistons, piston rings, valves, inner walls of cylinders and covers from oil carbon deposits,

5.2. Carbon deposits must be moistened with kerosene and cleaned with a copper or other soft plate. DO NOT use solid objects when cleaning cylinder walls and pistons

5.3. When cleaning the valve block, it is necessary to disassemble it and carry out the following work:

5.3.1. –Clean any carbon deposits from each valve plate, separators, seats, places of contact of plates to the valve plate,

5.3.2. Rinse the parts of the valve block in kerosene and dry,

5.3.3. Lubricate with a thin layer of compressor oil and collect,

5.4. When assembling the valve block, the valve plates must fit snugly against the seat. Out-of-plane valve plate installation is not allowed.

5.5. Clean the compressor cooling surfaces from dust, oil, dirt, oil carbon deposits,

5.6. After cleaning the outer surfaces of the refrigerator and pipelines, rinse them with water and blow with compressed air,

5.7. Replace all gaskets ensuring the tightness of the joints,

5.8. Replace individual parts from the spare parts kit.

There are situations when the air compressor, peacefully rattling by the engine in the corner of the garage, starts to malfunction, or even turns off altogether. And at this moment, as luck would have it, there is a need for it. Do not be afraid, after studying theoretical information, repairing a compressor with your own hands will not seem like something unattainable.

The main purpose of air compressor units is to create a continuous, uniform jet of compressed air. The dense gas stream is then driven by various pneumatic tools. These can be airbrushes, tire inflation guns, wrenches, cutting machines, pneumatic chisels, nailers, and more.In the minimum configuration, the compressor unit is equipped with a supercharger (an engine that creates an air flow) and a receiver (a container for storing compressed gas).

Compressors with a piston system electric motor have found the greatest application in car repair shops. In the supercharger crankcase, the transfer rod moves along the axis back and forth, giving the oscillatory moment to the reciprocating movement of the piston with O-rings. The bypass valve system located in the cylinder head works in such a way that when the piston moves downward, air is taken from the inlet pipe, and upward - it is returned to the outlet pipe.

The gas flow is directed to the receiver, where it is compacted. Due to its design, the blower produces an uneven air stream. Which is not applicable to spray gun use. A kind of condenser (receiver) saves the situation, which smooths out the pressure pulsations, giving out a uniform flow at the outlet.

A more complex design of the compressor unit implies the attachment of additional equipment designed to provide automatic operation, dehumidification and humidification. And if in the case of a simple execution it is easy to localize a malfunction, then the complication of the equipment execution complicates the search. The following are the most common faults and remedies for the most common piston-type compressed gas systems.

To make it easier to find the problem, all defects can be classified by the nature of the malfunction:

• Compressor unit blower does not start
• Compressor motor hums but does not pump air or fills air reservoir too slowly
• At start-up, the thermal protection circuit breaker is triggered or the mains fuse is blown out.
• When the blower is turned off, the pressure in the compressed air tank drops
• Thermal protection circuit breaker periodically trips
• Exhaust air contains a lot of moisture
• Engine vibrates violently
• Compressor runs intermittently
• Air flow is consumed below normal

Let's consider all the causes of the problems and how to fix them.

If the engine does not start and does not hum, then the supply voltage is not applied to it. First of all, using an indicator screwdriver, check the presence of "zero" and "phase", as well as the reliability of the plug-to-socket connection. In case of poor contact, measures are taken for a tighter fit. If there is 220 V at the input of the circuit, the fuses of the compressor unit look.

Failed ones are replaced by passive protection devices of the same rating as defective ones. In no case are hot-melt inserts designed for a higher electric current allowed. If the fuse blows again, you should find out the cause of the failure - probably a short circuit at the input of the circuit.

The second reason why the unit does not start is that the pressure control relay in the receiver is faulty or the level settings are out of order. To check, gas is released from the cylinder and the supercharger is tested. If the engine is running, the relay is reset. Otherwise, the defective part is replaced.

Also, the engine will not start when the thermal overload circuit breaker is triggered. This device turns off the power supply circuit of the winding of the electrical device in case of overheating of the piston system, fraught with seizure of the motor. Let the blower cool down for at least 15 minutes. After this time has elapsed, restart it.

With an underestimated mains voltage, the electric motor does not master the scrolling of the axis, while it will hum. With this malfunction, first of all, we check the voltage level in the network using a multimeter (it must be at least 220 V).

If the voltage is normal, then the pressure in the receiver is probably too high, and the piston does not overpower the pushing of air.In this case, manufacturers recommend setting the “AUTO-OFF” automatic switch to the “OFF” position for 15 seconds and then moving it to the “AUTO” position. If this does not help, then the pressure control switch in the receiver is faulty or the bypass (check) valve is clogged.

You can try to eliminate the last drawback by removing the cylinder head and cleaning the channels. Replace the defective relay or send it to a specialized center for repair.

Compressor start-up is accompanied by blown fuse or activation of automatic thermal protection

This malfunction occurs if the installed fuse is below the recommended rated power or the supply network is overloaded. In the first case, we check the compliance of the permissible currents, in the second, we disconnect part of the consumers from the electric main.

A more serious cause of the malfunction is incorrect operation of the voltage relay or breakdown of the bypass valve. We bypass the relay contacts according to the scheme, if the engine is running, then the actuator is faulty. In this case, it is more advisable to contact an official service center for technical support or replace the relay yourself.

A drop in compressed air pressure indicates that there is a leak somewhere in the system. Risk areas are: high pressure air line, piston head check valve or receiver outlet cock. We check the entire pipeline with a soapy solution for air leaks. We wrap the detected defects with sealing tape.

The drain cock may leak if not properly closed or defective. If it is closed all the way, and the soapy solution is bubbling on the spout, then we change this part. When screwing in a new one, do not forget to wind up the fum tape on the thread.

In the case of tightness of the air line and the exhaust valve, we conclude that the compressor control valve is not working correctly. For further work, be sure to bleed all the compressed air from the receiver! Next, we continue to repair the compressor with our own hands, disassembling the cylinder head.

If there is dirt or mechanical damage to the bypass valve, we clean it and try to fix the defects. If the malfunction is not eliminated, then we replace the control valve.

This defect occurs when the power supply voltage is too low, the air flow is poor, or the room temperature is too high. We measure the voltage in the network using a multimeter; it must be at least the lower limit of the range recommended by the manufacturer.

Poor air flow into the discharge system is due to a clogged inlet filter. The filter should be replaced or washed according to the unit's maintenance manual. The piston engine is air-cooled and often overheats when in a poorly ventilated area. The problem is solved by moving the compressor unit to a room with good ventilation.

This situation occurs under the following conditions:

• Large accumulation of moisture in the receiver
• Air intake filter dirty
• The humidity in the room of the compressor unit is increased

Moisture in the output stream of compressed air is fought by the following methods:

• Drain excess fluid from the cylinder regularly
• Clean or replace the filter element
• Move the compressor unit to a room with drier air or install additional filter-moisture separators

In general, piston engines are prone to high vibration. But, if the previously relatively quiet compressor unit begins to rumble, there is a high probability that the engine mounting screws are loosened or the material of the vibration cushions is worn out. This malfunction is eliminated by pulling all fasteners in a circle and replacing the polymer vibration isolators.

Interruptions in the operation of the engine can be caused by incorrect operation of the pressure control switch or too intensive extraction of compressed air.

Excessive gas consumption occurs due to a discrepancy between the compressor capacity and the power consumption. Therefore, before buying a new pneumatic tool, carefully study its characteristics and air consumption per unit of time.

Consumers should not take more than 70% of the compressor capacity. If the power of the blower with a margin overlaps the requests of the pneumatic tools, then the pressure switch is faulty. We either repair it or replace it with a new one.

This malfunction occurs as a result of a gas leak in the high pressure system or a clogged air intake filter. Air leakage can be minimized by pulling all butt joints and wrapping them with sealing tape.

Sometimes it happens that when draining condensate from the receiver, they forget to completely close the drain valve, which also leads to a gas leak. This problem is easy to solve - by tightly closing the valve. If the dust filter is clogged, clean it or, even better, replace it with a new one.

Most of the above malfunctions can be avoided by correctly carrying out the first start-up and running-in of the mechanisms, as well as performing regular routine maintenance.

In order for the device to function properly for a long time, the recommended maintenance should be started at the initial stages of operation. Experts recommend the following actions from the date of purchase:

Timely observance of these simple requirements will keep the mechanism in good condition. Such a time-consuming procedure as repairing a compressor with your own hands will be required extremely rarely. Proper grounding will avoid problems with the electrical part of the device. Regular replacement of oil and cleaning filters will prevent premature wear of rubbing parts.
