Step Response
Start
When starting operation, purge solenoid valve SV1 opens.
And compressed air is sent to unloader chamber A and speed regulator
chamber B . The pressure in chamber A rises soon, and unloader
valve fully closes due to low pressure. Thus the load required for starting
is reduced.The pressure in chamber B rises soon too.and speed regulator
fully stroke to unload position.
Load operation
After starting operation, SV1 valve closes after 10 seconds have passed.
The air volume sent to the chambers A and B from pressure regulator
increases or decreases according to the rise and drop of discharge air
pressure. Thus according as unloader valve position and engine speed
change, free air delivery is steplessly and automatically regulated from
0 to 100%.
Suction port closing
unload operation
When air consumption is reduced, and the pressure exceeds the rated
one, speed regulator functions to lower the engine speed in proportion to
the pressure rise and, at the same time, to close unloader valve.
Under unloaded operation, the interior of compressor air-end becomes
vacuum and vacuum noise is caused. In order to prevent occurrence of
vacuum noise, it functions to open the vacuum relief valve, detecting the
secondary pressure of pressure regulator and thus it prevents high
vacuum state inside the compressor air end from being caused.
