Installation Instruction
I. Transportation
The transportation and installation of the compressor units should be processed according to the instruction. While
transporting the compressor, you should put two square timbers between the forklifts and compressor in case of the
breach door panels (Chart 1). While using the slings, be sure to use the cross rods to counterbalance both sides (Chart
2). Attention: It’s necessary to put some protection materials between the slings and the door panels. If not, the panels
would be broken.
(Chart 1) (Chart 2)
II. Foundation
(1) The compressor should be installed on a horizontal and hard floor, and good joint must be ensured between the
cabinet bottom and floor surface, a rubber mat could be placed in order to prevent vibrations and noise.
(2) If the compressor is installed upstairs, the user must do well against vibration on account of the safety of the
compressor and the building.
(3) The screw compressor does not need fixed foundation because of the little vibration, but the ground must be
smooth and firm. And it is better to spread a 0.39 in shock-proof cushion under the bottom of the compressor to avoid
the vibration and noise.
III. Installation
The location which the compressor placed should be well selected. It is often located at a random place without planning
in advance which is the main reason of the difficulty of maintenance and the poor quality of the compressed air. So
selecting a good installation place is the prerequisite correctly using the compressor.
1. A spacious and bright place facilitates will simplify the maintenance and operation of the compressor.
2. Low humidity, less dust, clean air and good ventilation.
3. The temperature must be lower than 1040F. Because the higher temperature, the less exchange air.
4. The pre-filtering equipment is needed if the environment is not good and the air is too dusty.
5. Set aside some place for installation of the crane.
6. Set aside some place for maintenance (Chart 4): Models≤90kW: the distance between the compressor and the wall
must be more than 27.5in, the distance between the top of compressor and the ceiling must be more than 59in;
Models≥110kW: The distance between the compressor and the wall must be more than 59in, the distance between the
top of compressor and the ceiling must be more than 118in.
7. For water-cooled compressor, the water pressure of the cooling water should be around 29-58PSI,both inlet & outlet
valves should be installed. If there are any impurities, you should equip a filter. The requirements of the cooling water
are follows:
a. The amount of the cooling water should meet the water flow connections of the cooler, if adopt the supply water
directly whose quality conforms the requirements.
3
Dehaha Compressor Jiangsu Co.,Ltd.
b. When adopting the circle water, the amount of the supply water=24x water amount/ temperature of the cooler tower.
c. If the quality of the cooling water can’t meet the requirement, please enlarge the amount of the cooling water. Make
sure the exhaust water temperature≤1220F.
8. As for air-cooled compressor, it’s better to install a ventilating duct in order to drive the hot air out of the room. The
exhaust pressure loss should be ≤0.23in water column, or you should add an exhaust fan, the volume of the exhaust air
should not be less than the data in the following table.
When you choose air-cooled compressor, you should pay more attention to the following advice:
a. You must take the ventilation environment into account. Do not install the compressor near the high temperature
equipments in case high temperature air does harm to the unit.
b. When the compressor must be installed in the tiny space, the ventilation equipment must be installed to quicken the
air circulation. The capacity of ventilation equipment must be more than the exhaust volume of the cooling fan and the
place of convulsion rim must suit the compressor’s exhaust outlet.

Working Principle
I. General introduction
DHH screw air compressor is oil-injected double screw compressor driven by belt or direct coupling. The air is
compressed by the airend which is driven by an electric motor. The system will be cooled by the injection oil. The oil-air
mixture flows through oil-air separator. The clean compressed air enters the cooler and then exhausts out. The cooler
is used to cool compressed air and oil.
1. Working process(Chart 6)
The dust and Impurity in the air is removed by the air filter which installed at the intake valve. Then the air is
compressed by rotor and stator inside of the airend which perfectly mesh with each other. When the pressure of the
compressed air meets the rated pressure, the compressed air will be released to the exhaust side. Then the
compressed air goes to the oil-air separator, most of the oil content in the compressed air will be separated by gravity &
centrifugal force in the oil-air separator tank, after the separator tank, compressed air with quite less oil content
continue goes through the cooler and the outlet.
2. Air process
Atmosphere→ Air filter →Air intake valve →Airend →Oil-air separator →Min. pressure valve →Cooler →Compressed
air.
3. Lubricant process
Lubricant→ Oil-air separator →Temperature control valve →Cooler (or bypass) →Oil-filter→ Airend→ Separation→
Circle.
The hot lubricant in the oil-air separator flows into the temperature control valve. The temperature control valve control
the proportion of lubricant which flow into the cooler or the bypass according to the temperature of the lubricant. So can
guarantees the temperature not too low.( The water in the compressed air will be condensed in the oil-air separator if the
temperature is too low and lubricant will be emulsified and reduce its useful life). The lubricant will be injected into the
airend after being filtered in the oil-filter.
The circle of the lubricant will be maintained by the pressure difference between the oil-air separator and the low
pressure chamber of airend. To keep the cycle lubricant, make sure the pressure in the oil-air separator is 29-43.5PSI.
This is the function of min. pressure valve (the opening pressure is 58-65.2PSI).
(Chart 6)

I. Airend
The compressor Airend (Chart 7) consists of machine parts, male rotor and female rotor, bearing and bearing seal, etc.
Airend is the most important part in the unit. All the parts are precise components, so be sure to keep the dust away from
the compressor. In addition, in order to ensure the efficiency of
the compressor, you should ensure the appropriate
environment, normal oil system and appropriate oil level.
Screw air compressor is one of the displacement compressors.
The air is compressed by female rotor and male rotor which
perfectly mesh with each other. The rotation of the rotors in the
compressor make the volume of the air change periodically and
the whole process of air suction, air compressing and air
exhausting are finished along the axis of the rotor from the
suction side to the exhaust side.

There will be condensed water at the bottom of the oil-air separator tank when the compressor has been running for a
long time. Thus, in order to prolong the useful life of the lubricant, please drain the condensed water through the oil
discharge valve at the bottom of the oil-air separator tank.
