4.4.4 Gauge Indication while Operating
Minimum discharge air pressure is 0.39MPa during load operation.
Continuing equipment operation at a lower pressure than the above pressure may cause overheating,
since it affects the separation of lubricating oil inside the oil separator and reduces the oil flow to the
compressor air-end, resulting in temperature rise.
Be sure to check at times to see if gauges or each component of the unit are properly working, or if
there is any air-leak, oil-leak, water-leak or fuel-leak etc.
During normal operation, each indication of instruments is shown in the table below. Refer to the
table for daily checks.
The above table gives standard values. They may vary slightly depending on the operating condi-
tions and other factors.
