4. Cautions for a Long Term Operation Suspension

(1) If the DSP air compressor operation is suspended for 7
days or longer, the unload stop function must be utilized
at shutdown.
For more detail, see page 11 or 18.
When in a long-term operation suspension the DSP

may be internally rusted due to (1) the removal of an oil

therefore, execute an unloading operation and thereby
remove the moisture from the second-stage air end.
(2) During long-term operation suspension the DSP needs to

be operated unloaded once a week for 5 to 10 minutes to
ensure removal of internal moisture.
(3) Incoming power to the DSP should be disconnected when
in long term operation suspension.

low as -0.05 MPa(7.3psi) during unloading or if 2.) the
discharge air temperature has gradually increased.
③ If the DSP air compressor cannot be shutdown to clean

① these parts, turn the adjusting bolt (the suction bypass
valve) counterclockwise to open. This will allow the
④ interstage pressure to be greater than -0.05 MPa(-7.3psi)
during unloading.
③ ④ Replace the consumable parts in the air intake

filter and suction throttle valve with new consumable
parts periodically . For the detail refer to the
section 9, Maintenance the DSP.
The interstage pressure of as low as -0.05 MPa(-7.3psi)

during unloading period may increase the discharge air
temperature.
2 Regulating the Oil Pressure
① Use the relief valve to regulate the oil pressure.To regulate

the oil pressure, open the relief valve cap, loosen the lock
nut, and turn the regulating bolt to keep the oil pressure at
the specified 0.12 to 0.16MPa (17 to 23psi).
② Turn the regulating bolt clockwise to increase the oil

pressure and vice versa.
③ Tighten the locknut and replace the cap.
If the oil pressure is reduced to 0.08 MPa (12psi) or lower,

the oil pressure sensor will detect it and shut down the DSP
air compressor.

2 OMR Control Air Piping
The Oil Mist Remover needs 0.39 MPa (57psi) of

compressed air as control air to operate. To properly
install the control air line, connect the control air pipe to
the connection marked “A” on the filter/regulator of the
Oil Mist Remover (see the illustration to the left).
The control air must be as dry as possible. If possible, run

the control air pipe from the downstream side of the air dryer.
If an air dryer is not used, run the control air pipe from the
upper section of an air receiver. Installing downstream of the
air dryer or air receiver allows for less moisture accumulation
in the filter bowl of the oil mist remover.

(3) It is recommended that an air receiver tank is
installed right after the DSP compressor by same
reason as (2).
5 Condensate Drain Piping
(1) Leave the end of any condensate drain line open.
(2) Do not merge the DSP air compressor’s condensate

drain lines (for the aftercooler, for the coolant line
filter) into one common pipe.
Do not merge any condensate drain line into an
external condensate drain line (for example, do not
merge a DSP air compressor condensate drain line
with a condensate drain line on an air receiver tank).
This could generate a pressure differential, which
could result in no draining or inconsistent draining
out of the DSP. Capability to observe the draining
of the DSP will also be impaired.
Un-drained condensate can backflow to the DSP air

compressor and cause a failure.

6. STARTUP OPERATION
The instructions in this chapter should be followed when starting up the DSP air compressor for the first time or after a long
term suspension.
●Before connecting the power, verify that the DSP is correctly installed, piped and wired.
●Check the power supply; verify that it is firmly grounded and that the voltage is within an allowable range
　(-5% to +10%).

⑧ Stop the DSP. Make sure that the solenoid valve is
de-energized to the closed position, the pressure

0.25（36） about 50（1.8）
NOTE:
The pressure gauge readings may increase/decrease
by 0.03 MPa(4psi) as the control air pressure
decreases/increases by 0.10 MPa(14.5psi),
respectively. Due to the regulator’s characteristics,
the pressure gauge
reading rises as the control air pressure drops.
1. The oil mist remover can operate when the control air pressure is 0.39 MPa(57psi) or more. If a control air
pressure of this level cannot be obtained (i.e. during starting of the DSP or unloading of the blowoff valve), the
ejector cannot operate and as a result, the gear case internal pressure rises. When the gear case internal
pressure reaches approximately 20 mmH2O (0.8inch), the safety relief valve opens to atmosphere to prevent
excessive pressure rise and results in the venting of oil mists to atmosphere. To prevent this from occurring,
avoid long intervals where the DSP is unloaded, if at all possible. If it is unavoidable, take precautions to keep
the DSP from inhaling the oil mists back into the air intake.
2. If two or more DSP air compressors are in parallel, the system may force a specific unit to unload for a long
period of time. The unloaded DSP air compressors oil mist remover ejector will seldom operate, thus opening
its safety relief valve frequently and venting oil mists to atmosphere. To solve this problem, connect the
unloaded DSP air compressors control air pipe to an area in the plant air piping system where pressure is
consistently available, minimizing the amount of time the safety relief valve will open.
3. The safety relief valve shortly opens when the DSP starts and stops, even when control air pressure is high.
After repeated starts and stops, the safety relief valve may ooze a slight amount of oil. This is not unusual.
4. The oil mist remover consumes compressed air of approximately 50 liters per minute(1.8cfm). The exact air
consumption depends on the setting of the regulator.
5. Take precautions if the DSP is used in AUTO operation mode with the oil mist remover, as the DSP may not
stop automatically, due to the uninterrupted consumption of the compressed air by the oil mist remover.

7. WIRING
1. Use a licensed electrician. Do not allow an unlicensed person to wire the air compressor. Using an unlicensed
person could result in incorrect wiring and could lead to electric shock.
2. Do not remove any protective relays or make any modifications to the control circuit that could impair the protective
relay’s function on the air compressor. Loss of the protective relay’s function may cause serious damage to the air
compressor such as burning of the airend. In the event that the control circuit needs to be modified, contact the local
Hitachi distributor.
3 Before opening the starter/control box cover to service or wire the air compressor, disconnect the power to prevent an
electric shock. In addition, attach a notice on the power supply stating “Under maintenance work. Keep switch off.” to
prevent a careless mistake, such as turning the switch back on without notice.

8. STANDARD COMPONENTS AND SUBSYSTEMS [Air/Oil Flow]
2. Air/Oil Flow
Compressor Air Flow
Intake air is compressed and heated by the 1st stage
airend and pressure builds up to approximately
0.27 MPa (39psi). The heated air is cooled down to
atmospheric temperature +15oC (27oF) by the
intercooler and then further compressed and heated by
the 2nd stage airend as pressure builds up to the rated
pressure level of the DSP air compressor. The reheated
air flows through the check valve to the aftercooler,
where the compressed air is cooled down to atmospheric
temperature +15oC (27oF) and then discharged to the
plant compressed air piping.
Oil Flow
The oil sump is located in the bottom of the gear case.

Oil is sucked through an oil strainer (oil strainer has a
120-mesh filter screen) by the oil pump and is
hydraulically fed to the oil cooler where it is cooled.
During the cooling process, oil flows through the high-
precision oil filter and is then injected onto the bearings
of the 1st and 2nd stage airends as well as the speed
change gears. Oil returns to the oil sump, where it will
continue to circulate through the system.
Cooling Air Flow

Cooling air is drawn through the rear and left panels of
the enclosure. The cooling fan removes the heat from
the air-cooled oil cooler, intercooler, aftercooler and
precooler, and this heat exchanged air is exhausted
through the air exhaust grill on the top of the enclosure.

9. MAINTAINING THE DSP
●Before servicing the DSP, carefully read page 2, Chapter 1 “SAFETY”.

●Before servicing the DSP, disconnect the power to prevent an electric shock.
●Before removing or disassembling any parts on the DSP, stop it, disconnect the power and make sure that the
internal pressure of the DSP has dropped to atmospheric pressure to prevent high pressure air from blowing off
and causing injury.
Special attention must be paid to the piping between the compressor check valve and motorized isolation valve.
The pressure in this section of piping should be drained through the after cooler drain valve.

9. MAINTAINING THE DSP [How to Service the DSP Air Compressor]
4. How to Service the DSP Before servicing the DSP air compressor, stop it, disconnect the
　 Air Compressor power (turn off the earth leakage (ground) circuit breaker) and verify
that the compressor’s internal pressure has dropped to atmospheric
pressure.
The maintenance intervals shown refer to the standard Maintenance Schedule (A).
Air Intake Filter – (Replace Bi-Annually)
A differential pressure sensor is provided on the suction

throttle valve to detect the pressure differential across
the air intake filter. When the sensor detects a pressure
differential as large as 4.98 kPa (0.7psi)during
operation, AIR FILTER CLOGged appears on the M4
display. If this occurs, clean or replace the air intake
filter in accordance with Maintenance Schedule (A) or
(B).
The procedure for cleaning the air intake filter is as
follows:
① Remove the air intake filter cover (1) from the
left-upper panel.
② Remove the air intake filter cover (2).
③ Loosen the wing nut and remove the air intake

① filter.
④ Reinstall and tighten the wing nut.
●If the air intake filter is clogged with dust/dirt

③ ④ particles; Differential pressure (resistance of flow)
across the air intake filter increases, which results
in decreased air intake to the airend and a rise in
discharge air temperature.
To avoid a problem, service the air intake filter
regularly. If the compressor room environment is
dusty or dirty, service the air intake filter more
frequently than instructed on the Maintenance
Schedule.
●Do not forget to remove the magnet sheet after

servicing the air intake filter. Operating the DSP
without removing the magnet sheet could seize the
airend.
63
2 Intercooler Condensate Drain Valve – (Drain Daily) (Clean Filter & Orifice Bi-Annually)
Moisture in the intake air, especially in hot and humid

environments, is condensed inside the DSP during
compression. Daily inspect intercooler condensate drain
valve elbow to verify that there is a slight discharge of
compressed air (with condensate) when the DSP is
loaded. Bi-annually, check and clean the intercooler
condensate drain valve (filter & orifice).
● Inspect intercooler condensate drain valve 　

elbow to verify that there is a slight discharge
of compressed air (with condensate) when the
DSP is loaded.
● If compressed air is not discharged, clean and

unclog the drain valve (filter & orifice).
● Operating the DSP without draining the

condensate from the intercooler, may rust the
airend internally and cause a major failure.
3 Safety Relief Valve – (Check Operation Monthly)

Ring of
Safety Relief ① Maintain the rated maximum discharge pressure of
Valve 　 the DSP (0.69 MPa (100psi) or 0.86 MPa (125psi)
whichever is applicable).
② Pull the ring of the safety relief valve.
② ③ Verify that the safety relief valve operates properly

and let go of the ring of the safety relief valve.
③
During inspection of the operation of the safety relief

Safety Relief valve, use the appropriate facial protection. High
Valve pressure air containing dust particles can cause
severe injury.

deterioration that could result in clogging of
the oil strainer and a fire.
Use the Hitachi genuine oils (　　　 page 6).

② ①
5 Oil Strainer (primary) – (Clean 1 Month after Startup Operation and Bi-Annually)
①
① Remove the cleaning cover. Remove and clean
the oil strainer.
② Replace the oil strainer when overhauling the
DSP.
Clogging of the oil strainer drops the oil pressure of

the DSP. If the oil pressure sensor detects an oil
pressure as low as 0.08 MPa(12psi), the DSP will
automatically shutdown.
① ②

from the oil support on the gear case. Remove and
replace the oil filter element.
⑥ Apply clean oil onto the filter O-ring. Tighten the oil
filter until the O-ring surface comes in contact with the
oil filter seating surface.
⑦ Seat the oil filter O-ring by tightening the filter with both
⑤ hands. Immediately after compressor restart verify that
there is no leaks on the oil filter.
Clogging of the oil filter drops the oil pressure of

the DSP. If the oil pressure sensor detects an oil
pressure as low as 0.08 MPa(12psi), the DSP will
automatically shutdown.

onto the belts at the span center and measure the flexure
δ (see the table to the left).
Review the table for the proper flexure range. If the
flexure is within range, there is no need for belt tension
readjustment. If the flexure is not within range, contact
the local Hitachi distributor for proper tension
readjustment.
③ Belt tension can also be measured using a special tension

meter. For more information about the tension meter,
contact the local Hitachi distributor.
●Low-tensed V-belts may slip and have a

drastically lower service life.
●During a belt tension adjustment, improper
centering may cause a larger misalignment and
reduced service life.
