2.1 Safety
This chapter contains the general safety instructions concerning this compressor.

Read also the safety instructions for transport, commissioning, use and
maintenance presented separately in each section of the manual. Always read
the safety instructions before starting any work.

In this manual, the instructions concerning safety are marked with the symbol:

In addition to these instructions, the local regulations in your country may impose additional
requirements that must be observed.

General safety instructions

Installation and preparations for use

The compressor’s noise level, measured in an open space, may rise higher if walls that reflect
sound surround the installing location. Observe this when choosing the best location for the
compressor.
• Observe the local regulations on the use of hearing protectors.
• Be aware of rotating not protected parts when opening doors.
• Please note that certain parts can have high temperature.
• Welding can damage electrical parts on the equipment. Also observe that ground
current can damage electrical parts.

Make sure that the intake air for the compressor is clean and cool. Prevent the exhausted air
from re-circulating to the intake. Make sure that foreign objects cannot get into the
compressors with the intake air. Make sure that the intake air does not contain any explosive
or inflammable gases.

Do not exceed the compressors rated maximum pressure, capacity or rotation speed (Cf.
Technical Specifications). Use pneumatic hoses that are rated to withstand the working
pressure. Pay special attention to the hose mountings. A whipping hose may cause
unpredictable damage. Remove the pressure in the hoses before disconnecting.

The pressure vessels in the pressurized air network must fulfil pressure vessel regulations.
Authorised, qualified persons shall make the electrical connection. There might be some oil in
the water condensate. Notice the regulations concerning waste-oil remove.

Maintenance
Use only original TMC spare parts. Maintenance work on the compressor should always be
done with the compressor stopped and disconnected from the mains. Always switch off the
main switch of the compressor before maintenance. The shut-off valve to the pressurised air
network should also be closed. Make sure that the air-/oil receiver is depressurised before you
start maintenance. Do not repair the air /oil receiver by welding. All alterations must conform
to the regulations concerning pressure vessels.

Do not neglect the regular checkups and maintenance of the compressor. With the exception
of the repairs described in this manual, company authorized by TMC should carry out all
repair work.

 ----------General information----------

Regulating System
The purpose of the regulating system is to adjust the production of pressurized air according
to the needs, and to cut the power consumption for each cubic metre of pressurized air as low
as possible.

When the compressor runs loaded, the intake valve is open, and the compressor produces
pressurized air.
As the compressor has started, and the electric motor is switched from star to delta
connection, the intake control valve is energized. This opens up a connection between the
unit’s intake and the rear side of the intake valve piston. The underpressure affecting the
intake valve opens the valve a little and the compressor starts producing pressurized air.
When the pressure in the air/oil separator increases, the increasing pressure at the front side of
the intake valve opens the valve completely. The compressor accelerate and runs at full
capacity.

When the compressor is running unloaded, the intake valve is closed and the compressor is
not producing pressurized air. At the same time, to minimise power consumption, the air/oil
separator is emptied.
When the output pressure reaches the specified maximum value, a solenoid valve opens the
connection between the rear and front side of the intake valve piston, whereby the spring of
the intake valve closes the intake valve plate.
At the same time, a pneumatic valve opens the blow-out of the air/oil separator, and the air/oil
separator is emptied. The pneumatic valve is used for leading a part of the blow-out air back
to the intake side of the compressor. This arrangement cuts down the otherwise strong noise
from the unloading.

If pressurized air is not used, the compressor runs unloaded until the automatics stops it after a
set time.
When the network pressure has dropped below the set pressure (output pressure), the
compressor starts automatically again.

Digipilot (DPC) control panel

The electronic unit controls all the functions connected to the regulation of the compressor.
The unit adjusts the following parameters of the compressor’s operation:
- Working pressure: load/unload pressures.
- Automatic stop after run on time (idling).
- Service hours.
- Condensate water (times) intervalls.
- Week timer.
- Fault history

Page 3 of 4
The electronic unit is equipped with three LCD displays, which gives information about the
compressor’s working pressure, temperature, and maintenance, such as changing of filters,
etc.

The electronic unit has built-in starting automatics for situations after a power failure.
This function is normally switched off as default in the compressor settings.

The unit also has a weekly clock, which enables the compressor to be used according to a pre-
programmed weekly plan.

Lub. oil system in Tamrotor Compressor type EMH

Forced lubrication: During on-load there is always pressure in the air/oil separator, which will
force the oil to injection. During off-load the intake valve is closed. which create a vacuum in
the air end that draw oil to it.

Equipment and fittings: On our compact EMH model we have only the pipes from/to the oil
cooler. The rest of the oil system is integrated in the unit.

Checking method: Oil sight glass is integrated in the unit. The oil level can only be read
when the compressor is stopped. When the compressor is running, the oil is flowing around
in the system. A oil level indicator is therefore not necessary.

Because of the forced lubrication, an oil pressure reading is not necessary. The air and oil has
the same pressure and temperature. If there is a failure in oil circulation, the compressor
temperature will rise, an alarm light will indicate when the temperature reaches 100 °C. At
115 °C the compressor will stop.

5.1 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION

The complete compressor unit, included starter, is assembled on a common base frame.
No extra foundation is required. The unit is ready for bolting or welding to the vessels deck.
Main power and air outlet has to be connected, recommended oil to be filled and the unit is
ready for start.

• When installing the compressor it is important to ensure that no distortion of the base
frame occurs.

• Be aware of the possibility of ground current, which can damage electrical

components when welding on the vessel/ship.

• To ensure trouble-free operation it is important that the foundation of the compressor

unit is well stiffened and free from vibration from other equipment onboard. This
applies to both rigid and flexible mounted units.

• Study the dimensional drawing for the required minimum distances to walls, other
machines and service space.

• Make sure that the compressor room is properly ventilated. The cooling air must not
be higher than described in the technical specification / instruction manual for your
compressor.

• Prevent re-circulation of the cooling air.

• If the compressor is provided with air ducts, observe the required cooling air volume.

• Make sure that main power voltage is correct and according to the
regulations/standards.

• See also section 4.2 operation, for further start up instructions

Page 1 of 1
5.1.1 Installing
Installing location
1. The compressor must be installed on an even surface, bearing in mind the compressor’s
weight (Cf. Data Sheet, Section 2). Observe the need for draining for condensate water.

The water contains oil.

2. Study the dimensional drawing for the required minimum distance to walls and other
machines. (See section 6. Drawings)

3. Make sure that the compressor room is properly ventilated. The cooling air temperature
must not be higher than + 45°C or lower than 0°C. Prevent recirculation of cooling air.
If the compressor is provided with air ducts, observe the required air volume and the max.
pressure loss of the blower.

Ventilation of the compressor room

The drawings below give examples of how the ventilation of the compressor room should
be arranged.

Make sure exhaust is effective. Use a separate fan, if necessary

The cooling air temperature must not drop below 0 °C.
Make sure the ducts are correctly dimensioned.

4. If air duct is mounted, observe the service space needed for cleaning of the coolers.

5. Observe the possibilities for recirculation of cooling air.

Notice that almost the whole input power of the compressor

moves to the cooling air of the cooled compressor.

Page 1 of 3
5.1.2 Electric connection
The electric connection must be made according to the IEC standards. All Local safety
regulations must also be observed.

Make sure that the operating voltage is correct. The voltage must be as rated, (±5%).

Connect the power supply cable to the main switch of the compressor. Observe the power
requirement (Cf. electric diagrams and technical data, section 2).

Connecting the protective earth lead correctly is especially important.

Power supply connections are only allowed by qualified electricians.

5.1.3 Connection to pressurized air network

Fasten the water separator. Connect the electric plug to the water separators solenoid valve.
(Located outside on the back panel of the compressor)

Install a shut-off valve between the compressor and the network for maintenance purposes.

Note that a non return valve between the compressor and the network will
cause regulating problems.

Observe the minimum size of the air delivery pipe from the compressor (See section 6.
Drawings).

Use a flexible hose to connect the compressor to the network.

If a piston type compressor is connected to the network, a network air receiver must be
installed between the piston and screw compressor.

Connect a water drain line from the compressor’s water separator to the oil separating well or
a separate container.

Service lives of hoses

Hoses used up to and in excess of the maximum of their permitted load will have a
considerably shorter service life than equivalent hoses used to a moderate extent.

In general, the following is true: the more of the capacity of the hose that is used in
respect of pressure, temperature, bending and flexing, the shorter its service life.

• The service life is all relative when it comes to hoses, and this is impossible to
estimate.
• Hoses must be considered to be wear parts and therefore have to be installed in
such a way as to easy replaceable.
• Add a hose check to each stoppage for maintenance.
• Look out for cracks, blisters, tears, leaks and stiffness.

Note!
Flexible hose for connection to the piping onboard the vessel is not included in
the standard scope of supply.

5.2.2 Air compressing process

In a screw compressor, the air is compressed in the air- end, driven by an electric motor.

The meshing rotors take in air between the ridges as they pass by the intake opening. When
the rotors turn, the connection to the intake opening closes, and the space between the ridges
starts decreasing. At the end of the compression phase, the desired pressure has been reached,
and the connection to the air-oil receiver opens.

The air in the compressor unit is cooled by oil that is injected into the compressor unit. In the
compressor unit, the oil cools the air and the compressor air end. In addition, the oil
lubricates the bearings and seals the clearances between the rotors and the rotor air end
housing.

Page 3 of 6
5.2.3 Separating oil from air
From the air -end the mixture of pressurized air and oil mist is ducted into the oil-separating
receiver, where oil is separated from the pressurized air. The separating process has two
phases.

Main part of the oil is separated in the cyclone in the receiver, where the centrifugal effect is
utilized. The remainder of the oil is separated by means of one or more oil separating
cartridges (1). The oil separated at the cartridges is led back into circulation through the oil
return pipe (2). The return pipe is provided with an orifice plate (3) that prevents excess air re-
circulation back into the compressor unit.

From the receiver, the hot oil is led through the cooler (8) and the oil filter (4), and returned to
circulation. In the receiver is also a thermostat (5) for bypassing the cooler when the oil is
cold.

The forced oil circulation is maintained by the pressure difference between the receiver and
compressor unit. To guarantee oil circulation whenever the compressor produces pressurized
air, the output valve (6) prevents the receiver pressure from dropping below the set minimum
value (3 bar).

Air Line

Oil Line

Pressurized air circuit

The cleaned air is led from the air/oil receiver (1) to the after-cooler (7) where its temperature
decreases. Most of the water in the pressurized air is removed by the water separator (9) from
the cooled air. The electromagnetic valve (10) lets out the water gathered in the water
separator at regular intervals.

The receiver is protected against overpressure with a safety valve (11) that opens at a certain
pressure and prevents the receiver pressure from rising dangerously high.

Page 4 of 6
5.2.4 Air output regulating system
The purpose of the regulating system is to adjust the production of pressurized air according
to the needs, and to cut the power consumption for each cubic metre of pressurized air as low
as possible.

Compressor running at fully loaded (see figure at next page)

When the compressor runs loaded, the intake valve is open, and the compressor produces
pressurized air.

As the compressor has started, and the motor is switched from star to delta, the intake
solenoid valve (1) is energized. This opens up a connection between the unit’s intake and the
rear side of the intake valve piston. The underpressure affecting the intake valve plate and
piston opens the intake valve a little and the compressor starts producing pressurized air.

When the pressure in the receiver increases, the increasing pressure at the front side of the
piston opens the valve completely, and the compressor runs at full capacity.

Compressor running unloaded

When the compressor is running unloaded, the intake valve is closed and the compressor stops
producing pressurized air. At the same time, to minimize power consumption, the receiver is
depressurized.

When the output pressure reaches the specified maximum value, the solenoid valve (1) opens
the connection between the rear and front side of the intake valve piston, whereby the spring
of the intake valve closes the intake valve plate.

At the same time, the solenoid valve (2) opens the blow-out of the receiver, and the receiver is
emptied. Same valve is used for leading a part of the blow-out air back to the intake side of
the compressor. This arrangement cuts down the otherwise strong noise form unloading.

Start-stop automatic

If pressurized air is not used, the compressor runs unloaded until the automatics stops it after a
set time.

When the network pressure has dropped below a set pressure (output pressure), the
compressor starts automatically again.

5.2.5 Compressor running fully loaded

5.3 Operation
First start of the compressor

If the compressor has been stored for a long time, check the functioning of belt
tightening, Cf. 6.1.7.
Check by hand the free rotation of motor and air end before starting.

1. Top up compressor oil to the upper limit of white area (Cf. Oil recommendation and oil
changing instructions, item 4.4 and 4.3.2 ).

The oil level shall be

within the white area of
the oil level indicator

2. Start the compressor for max 2 seconds to check the compressor unit for correct direction
of rotation (marked with an arrow on the compressor unit). Do not run the compressor
longer than 2 seconds.

The compressor must be stopped with the emergency stop button in order to
get an immediate stop.

Emergency Stop Button

Wrong direction of rotation will damage the compressor air-end.

The direction of rotation must always be checked when the compressor is
reconnected to the power supply network.

3. Close the compressor cabinet doors.

4. Turn the main switch to “On” position.

Do not open the compressor cabinet doors when the compressor is running.
This will cause insufficient cooling of the compressor.
Also be aware of risk of injury.

5. Adjust the output and unload pressures as required (Cf. separate instructions).

6.1 Maintenance
Maintenance activities other than those that are fully described in this manual
must be left to qualified service personnel.
TMC Service engineer are available 24 hours a day. (tel. + 47 815 21 215)

Procedures before starting maintenance

Caution: Hot surfaces inside the compressor cabinet immediately after

stopping.

1. Stop the compressor, and make sure that the receiver is depressurised. The blow-down
function empties the receiver after stopping; wait 2 minutes.

2. Always turn power off with the main switch and make sure that the compressor cannot be
accidentally started.

3. Close the shut-off valve between the network and the compressor.

4. To depressurize the internal pressure, open the safety valve cap 4 –5 turns

5. The volume between the internal discharge valve and the system shut-off valve stays
under pressure when the compressor is stopped and the shut-off valve is closed.

If service is to be done on the compressor, the internal pressure must be depressurized

First close the drain valve on the water separator. Secondly open the strainer below the valve.
Open the valve to depressurize.
When depressurized, mount the strainer and open the valve.

Procedures after maintenance

1. Close the safety valve.

2. Open the shut-off valve between the network and the compressor.

Page 6 of 16
6.1.6 Cleaning cooler
A clogged cooler increases the output temperature of the compressor and may
cause the compressor to stop.

Use pressurized air to blow the cooler clean inwards from the outside. More effective
cleaning can be achieved by brushing the underside of the cooler. (Note! Do not use a
metal wire brush!)

The dirty cooler can be removed and clean up the outside with light detergent.

Page 7 of 16
6.1.7 Drive belt tensioning

The EMH Series compressors have automatic drive belt tensioning.

The belts are always kept correctly tensioned by the spring element (1).

In the upper end of the spring element, the position of the pin (2) indicates the correct tension
of the belts. The pin should be at free in the long groove in the body of the spring element.

At the factory the belts are adjusted so that the pins position is at the top edge of the groove.

When the pin catch hold of the lower edge of the groove, the belts are worn out, and it is
necessary to change to new belts.

The old belts are removed and the new ones are installed by letting down the belt change
handle to the bottom position. When the handle is lifted up again the new belt s are
automatically on right tightness.

Note! The tightness of the spring is adjusted on the right value at the factory. Don’t change
the tightness by turning the adjustment nut.

Be careful when letting down the handle.

Page 8 of 16
6.1.8 Removing pulley and its conical sleeve

Unscrew the screws (2 pcs), and screw one of them into the removing hole to loosen the
sleeve and pulley.

Tighten the screw evenly until the conical sleeve comes loose from the pulley.

The loosened pulley and the conical sleeve can be removed from the shaft by hand without
hammering or otherwise damaging.

Page 9 of 16
6.1.9 Installing pulley and its conical sleeve

1. Removed all protective grease from the sleeve and the pulley. Install the sleeve to the
pulley and align the holes.

2. Grease the two mounting screws (1) and tighten them lightly. The positions of the
mounting screws are shown in the illustration. The thread for mounting is in the
pulley.

3. Clean the shaft and mount the wheel and the sleeve onto it. When mounting the pulley,
remember that the sleeve fastens to the shaft first and, after this, the pulley moves still
a little in relation to the sleeve. Observe this when aligning the wheels.

Page 10 of 16
 4. Tighten the screw evenly.

5. Knock the sleeve lightly with a drift, and retighten the screws. Repeat this a few
times to make sure that the sleeve really sits tight.
Ref. below table for tightening torque
Note! Sleeve type is marked on the end of the sleeve

6. Check the tightness of the screws from time to time.

7. Fill the extracting holes with grease to protect them from dirt.

6.1.10 Testing pressure relief valve
All adjusting and repair work on the pressure relief valve must be left for a
qualified mechanic. (Observe the local regulations.)

The opening pressure of the pressure relief valve must be tested in a

separate pressurized airline.

The operation of the valve can be tested by turning the cap (1) of
the valve 1 – 4 turns counter clockwise.
(the compressor must be stopped and secured from automatically
starting)

Always tighten up the pressure relief valve cap properly to avoid

damage caused by vibration.

Setting will not change with this operation.

Use a small screwdriver to carefully check that the piston

can move freely.

Page 11 of 16
6.1.11 Testing temperature alarm
The temperature alarm is tested by blocking partly the air inlet or the cooler outlet of the
compressor. Then the discharge temperature of the compressor rises.

The temperature alarm light must go on at + 100°C, and the compressor must stop at + 115°C.

Note! The alarm have a short delay time.

6.1.12 Air End

Replacement system of air ends

Every TMC compressor and its air end are delivered according to an ISO standard. This
means it goes through a quality control including a capacity control, vibration control and
pressure tests according to the factory’s quality system. This ensures the quality and reliability
of a TMC compressor.

When overhauling an air end, it is important that these testes are done. Our experience is that
more than 50% of air ends repaired on site fails with a brake-down within a short time. If
service is done correctly, the average lifetime for a compressor air-end is more than 35 000
running hours and then it should be replaced with a new one.

To make it easier and cheaper for our customers to replace it, TMC offers an exchange system
for air-ends. By returning the old air end when ordering a new, TMC will credit 15% of the
price if the old air end is overhaul approved after a factory inspection.

6.2 Oil recommendation for Tamrotor Marine screw compressors
On all our Tamrotor Marine compressors we recommend to use synthetic lubricant made for
screw compressors, which contents antioxidants and preventive components against rust,
foaming and wearing.

Viscosity max. 500 mm²/s by starting temperature > 0 °C.

Min. 7 mm²/s by running temperature of oil = 55 °C higher than the ambient temperature.
Flash point min. 180 °C.

In normal circumstances these conditions are fulfilled by using screw compressor oil
ISO VG 46 Synthetic Oil for marine use.

Since the oil companies are changing name for the oil and keep different type of oil in stock
world wide, we have only some examples of different type of oil that can be used on TMC
