1. Technical requirements

a. General Arrangement

1) The breathing air compressor shall be a packaged appliance designed to deliver high pressure breathing air in compliance with the most current NFPA and CGA air quality standards for the refilling of SCBA and SCUBA cylinders. The system shall include a high-pressure air compressor, electric motor, air purifier of at least 75000cft, and all operating controls as specified below. The equipment shall deliver a fully assembled and ready to install item to be installed by an authorized distributor. The breathing air compressor shall be designed with all operating controls and performance indicators located on a panel at the front of the appliance allowing “at sight” operator monitoring. The appliance shall comply with the currently applicable OSHA specifications as well as state and local electrical codes.

2) Provide a compressor with concealed fasteners, to include all access panels hinges and push button latches. Height doors on each side of the appliance shall be provided for maintenance access to the compressor. The doors shall include a shutdown switch to prevent exposure to running gear in the event either is opened while the compressor is in operation.

3) The provided enclosure shall be as such to minimize noise emission noise emission and include sound abatement insulation. The noise level shall not exceed 82 dB at 3 meters.

4) Provide a compressor with a control panel that groups all control components and indicators logically and by function.

5) The appliance shall include an ambient air flow control that directs the necessary volume of cooling air to the compressor. The cooling system shall also include an integral, top discharge extractor to completely vent the resulting hot air from the compression process out of the cabinet.

6) All high-pressure air plumbing shall be rated for at least 5000 psi working pressure and utilize seamless stainless-steel tubing. All high-pressure air tube connections shall use compression type fittings.

7) The electrical control system shall include motor control components with UL, NEMA or IEC approval and 12vdc control circuit housed within a UL® listed, NEMA enclosure.

8) The breathing air system manufacturer shall be a NRTL (Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory)

Licensed Panel Shop as per UL® 508A standard.

b. Compressor

1) The ambient air intake and compression shall be through an air-cooled, reciprocating, pressure oil lubricated, three-stage compressor designed for continuous duty at least at 5000 psi working pressure with a charging rate of at least 10.8 SCFM. The air compressor design shall include a heavy-duty cast iron crankcase supporting the crankshaft with oversized ball bearings on each end. The cylinder arrangement shall be a balanced

“V” configuration featuring ringed pistons assuring maximum balance and air volume delivery efficiency while operating at a maximum compressor speed of 1500 RPM. Lubrication shall be accomplished by controlled splash and shall include a crankshaft driven oil pump to supply metered quantities of oil directly to the fourth stage piston through a replaceable (spin-off) full flow filter. Crankcase level is verified via an oil level sight glass with minimum and maximum indicators.

2) Each stage of compression shall be protected with a safety relief valve. Valve inspection covers are provided for the first and second stage cylinders to allow for easy access. All valve assemblies shall be designed so they can be repaired without replacing the entire assembly. The cylinders shall include cooling fins to dissipate heat into the cooling air flow from the compressor’s integral flywheel fan. Individually mounted coolers shall be located after each compression stage to cool the discharged air to 18°F. above ambient temperature. Accumulated condensation from cooling the compressed air shall be collected in moisture separators mounted on each stage of the compressor and discharged to an automatic, internal, timed drain system for proper collection and disposal.

3) Prior to shutdowns, the compressor shall be allowed to run unloaded (with opened drains) for a timed period (Purge Cycle) to purge all cylinders, separators and crankcase of damaging condensation that develops as compressors cool down. The compressor control panel shall also include a condensate purge test switch to verify proper operation of the automatic condensate drain system on demand.

4) The ambient air filter element shall be in a housing piped to the compressor air intake to draw air from the installation room. Additionally, an inlet port shall be provided with a connection to facilitate connecting to outside air intake piping.

5) Electric Motor - The compressor shall be v-belt driven by a NEMA design, at least 7.5 HP, open drip proof electric motor wired for the electrical conditions as shown below: 60 Hertz Current - 1 Phase, 208/230 volts.

c. Electrical Control System

1) The breathing air compressor shall include all the necessary controls to assure safe, efficient operation and monitor performance. The control system shall be of an anti-flutter circuit design and include a latched fault protection circuit to prevent automatic restarting after an abnormal fault has occurred.

2) As a minimum, the control system must include the following:

(a) Air pressure switch to automatically start and stop the compressor based on demand.

(b) High air temperature shutdown switch.

(c) Low oil pressure shutdown switch.

(d) Magnetic, across-the-line starter with electric motor overload protection.

(e) Compressor access door safety shutdown switch.

(f) Compressed Air Monitor system including CO and H2O detectors with pre-set warning, shutdown limits and audible alarm. A shutdown audible alarm shall be supplied for all abnormal conditions.

(g) Auto-drain condensate reservoir capacity shutdown switch with illuminated indicator.

d. Instrumentation

1) The control system must include all monitoring devices as indicated below. These shall be mounted on a control panel located at the front of the compressor with all indicators and gauges grouped logically, and each group positioned within a graphic flow control schematic and identified with integral text. The panel background color shall be matte black shade with a textured finish to eliminate glare. Panel component and indicator groups shall be offset by colored lines to enhance operational visibility and safety.

2) The compressor’s instrumentation panel shall quick and convenient access to all key electrical control components, minimizing the need to use the appliance maintenance access doors. Indicator lights, pressure switch and all control wiring shall be accessible for routine maintenance and adjustments through hinged, “knockdown” sub-panels on the front of the compressor. The operator control panel shall permit the easy plug and play installation of optional CO or H2O monitor additions. The unit must allow full integral installation of any future upgrades without the use of external wiring, piping, or remotely mounted components.

3) As a minimum, the instrumentation required is as follows:

(a) Compressor inter-stage and final pressure gauges.

(b) Compressor oil pressure gauge.

(c) Hour-meter.

(d) Independent illuminated power ON and OFF buttons.

(e) Normal high air pressure shutdown indicator light.

(f) Purge cycle indicator light and test switch.

(g) Enhanced shutdown indicator light package including low oil pressure, high compressed.

(h) Air temperature, motor overload, auto-drain reservoir limit and door ajar shutdown conditions.

(i) General fault shutdown indicator light.

(j) Emergency stop button.
