Air Conditioner
Operation and Maintenance

1 Compressor • Pressurizes refrigerant and makes it circulate.


• Mounted to front end of diesel engine and driven by it,
using a V-belt drive.
2 Magnetic clutch of compressor • When dead, the clutch lets the compressor idle; when
live, it engages the compressor drive.
• The magnetic clutch is controlled by the thermostat, the
pressostat, and the air conditioning fan switch.
3 Condenser • Transfers heat to outside air, changing refrigerant vapor
into liquid.
• The condenser unit comprises a cell and a fan.
• The condenser is located on the side of the hydraulic oil
receiver.
4 Drier • The purpose of the drier is to remove moisture from the
system (danger of freezing).
• Refrigerant flows through a particle filter and moisture
absorbing medium. The drier is provided with a sight
glass in the top cover for checking refrigerant flow.
• The drier must always be replaced if it has been empty
longer than 30 minutes; long exposure to air destroys the
drier.
5 Pressostat • Functions as a pressure switch, cutting off electricity to
the compressor’s magnetic clutch if the system pressure
drops too low or rises too high.
• Located with the drier in the condenser housing.
6 Evaporator cell • Absorbs heat and condenses humidity from the ambient
air.
• Turns liquid refrigerant into vapor.
• Located in the cabin.
7 Expansion valve • Regulates the refrigerant flow into the evaporator.
• Located in the evaporator cabin, connected to the line
from the drier.
• The valve has a spindle, controlled by a membrane, that
regulates the flow to the evaporator according to a
sensor.
• The liquid-filled sensor is connected to the line coming
from the evaporator.
• If too much refrigerant flows through the evaporator, the
liquid in the sensor cools down (volume decreases), and
the valve closes -- the operation is reversed if too little
refrigerant flows through.
8 Fan • Blows air through the evaporator into the cabin.
• Located in the evaporator housing in the cabin.
• The fan switch controls the magnetic clutch of the air
conditioner compressor; air conditioning operates only if
the fan is in operation.

Operation and Maintenance

9 Thermostat • Controls cabin temperature when air conditioning is on.


• The regulating switch is located on the evaporator
housing.
• Controls the operation of compressor magnetic clutch:
turns compressor to idle when the set temperature is
reached (cuts off current to magnetic clutch).
10 Heater valve • The valve is used for regulating the amount of water
flowing through the heater cell.
• Located on the heater.
11 Heater cell • Transfers heat to the cabin air from the hot engine
coolant flowing through the cell.
• Located in the evaporator housing in the cabin.
12 Air filter • Removes dust from the incoming air.
• Located in the evaporator housing outside the cabin.
• The air cleaner should be cleaned with pressurized air
and replaced regularly; the service interval greatly
depends on the quality of the surrounding air.
13 Control switch • The air conditioning system is turned on and off with the
control switch located in the control panel in the cabin.

2. OPERATION OF AIR CONDITIONER ID: 34047

The compressor circulates refrigerant R134a in a closed circuit system.


• Refrigerant vapor pressurized by the compressor is led through the condenser (3). As the
temperature of the vapor is higher than the ambient temperature, it loses heat to the outside air.
This loss of heat condenses the vapor to liquid form. The condenser has a fan (a) to provide
necessary cooling.
• The liquid refrigerant flows through the drier (4). Moisture is the severest problem in air conditioners,
and thus it must be removed as completely as possible. Water will freeze in the circuit!
• Next, the liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion valve (7) to the evaporator (6). The
expansion valve controls the amount of refrigerant entering the evaporator cell by choking the flow.
• The refrigerant entering the evaporator absorbs heat from the surrounding air. Air from the cabin is
circulated through the evaporator by a fan (8), whereby heat is absorbed and moisture condenses
from the air to the cold surfaces of the evaporator. Due to its low boiling point, the refrigerant again
changes into vapor in the evaporator.
• Then the refrigerant vapor enters the intake side of the compressor, and the circulation continues
as described above.

5. HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF THE AIR CONDITIONER ID: 3224

The fan speed and the air temperature are easily adjustable.
Do not use a higher fan speed than necessary. Always reduce the fan speed first, if you feel that the
cabin temperature is too low and then the temperature of the incoming air with the heater control
switch.
Adjust the air vents so that the air flow in the cabin feels comfortable.
Never direct the air flow against yourself.
Set the air circulation rotary switch in the position 0 (recirculation) and open the air vents. In this way
the air conditioner works best and you can avoid outside noise, exhaust fumes, dust etc..
Do not keep the cabin temperature too low. Remember your body does not like great changes in
temperature. Adjust the temperature to find the temperature difference that suits you best. The cabin
temperature schould not be adjusted more than 5-70C lower than the ambient temperature. Adjust
the temperature pleasent for yourself.
Using the air conditioner simultancously with the heater prevents the windows from becoming foggy,
as the air conditioner removes humidity from the air.
Humid air is heavy to breathe. The air conditioner reduces the air humidity in the cabin and you feel
more comfortable.

6.1. Interpreting the Sight Glass ID: 34062

Sight Description Explanations and notes


glass
Continuous flow of bubbles or foamy flow VERY LITTLE REFRIGERANT
(filling required). Small temperature difference between in-
take and output side.
Pressure in high-pressure side unusually
low.
STOP THE COMPRESSOR AT ONCE, and
call in a mechanic to check the system.
A few bubbles every few seconds (filling INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF REFRIGER-
required). ANT
High-pressure side warm and low-pressure
side cool.
Check the system for leaks, and repair pos-
sible leaks at once.
Add refrigerant to the system.
Clear fluid, with a few bubbles when rotation CORRECT AMOUNT OF REFRIGERANT
speed is changed. Normal pressure values in both high and
low--pressure side. Pressure side hot and
intake side cold.
No bubbles at all (remove refrigerant from TOO MUCH REFRIGERANT
the system). P
ressure side very hot. Unusually high pres-
sures in both intake and pressure side. Re-
move refrigerant from the pressure side of
the system.

6.2. Checks During Periodic Maintenance ID: 34042

Check the following points during periodic maintenance:


1. Check the sight glass
Bubbles should be visible only when the compressor is started and shut off.
2. Check that the connection between the compressor pressure plate and the pulley is not slipping,
and that it is clean.
3. Check that the lead between the thermostat and the electromagnetic clutch is in good condition.
4. Check the V-belt tightness and compressor mounting.
5. Clean or replace the fresh air and recirculation filter.
6. Remove condensate water from the bottom of the air conditioner.
7. Check all hose connections.

If refrigerant level is low, refrigerant is leaking, or some other fault exists, the system must
not be used before the fault(s) have been repaired. Otherwise, the compressor may become
damaged.

6.3. Cold and Dry Spells, When the Unit Is Rarely Used ID: 34044

Start the cooling system, and allow the compressor to run a few minutes once a week, to keep the
connections, sealings, etc. lubricated. If a low--pressure switch is connected to the system, it must
be bypassed if the ambient temperature drops below -1°C. Otherwise, the compressor will not start.

ID: 34077

Operation

Air conditioning is switched on with the control switch (1) (located on the top of the device), provided
with an indicator light (2). However, the current to this switch comes through the fan control switch
(3); if the fan is on, the switch (1) also receives current. When the fan switch (3) is in the 0--position,
the air conditioning system does not work, because the switch (1) gets no current.
The fan switch (3) has three positions for different speeds. In position 1, the current to the fan motor
(5) goes through the resistor (4), whereas in position 2 only part of the current goes through the
resistor (4), and the fan speed is higher. In position 3, the current flows directly to the fan motor (5).
When air conditioning is switched on, current flows from switch (1) to the thermostat (6). The ther-
mostat is used for selecting the desired temperature of the air. If the temperature rises above the set
value, the thermostat closes. The current coming from the thermostat (6) flows to the pressostat (8).
If the system has the required amount of refrigerant (pressure is sufficient), the pressostat keeps the
electric circuit closed, and current flows to the magnetic clutch (10) of the air conditioner compressor.
When live, the clutch engages the compressor drive; the compressor drive pulley revolves always
when the engine is running, but the compressor will rotate only when the magnetic clutch (in the
pulley) becomes live and engages the drive. When the drive is engaged, the magnetic clutch in the
pulley rotates with it; when the clutch is dead, only the pulley rotates.

2. FILLING OF PUMP UNIT CONTAINER ID: 14202

The capacity of the pump unit tank is 2 kg.


The filling pump (Cf. Fig.) is suitable for greases of NLGI 0-2 grade. The container size can be 10 –
20 kg. The output of the filling pump is 0.1 kg / pumping stroke.
Filling of pumping unit:
1. Place intermediate cover (10) into tank (18).
2. Fasten tank cover (11) with screws.
3. Install pump unit (12) through tank cover to intermediate cover (10).
4. Fasten filling hose (13) to pump.
5. Let air flow out of pump by holding quick coupling (14) open (e.g. with a screw driver) while
pumping in grease.
6. Connect quick coupling (14) to male coupling (15) on pump unit (1).
7. Operate pump with calm movements (~90°), until pumping resistance increases.
8. Turn filling pump lever up (~30°) to free the pump.
9. Disconnect quick coupling (14) and fit protective plugs to both parts of quick coupling.
10. After filling, let pressure out of pump unit (1) by opening bleed screw (16). This is to ensure the
operation of the dispensers.

If excessive power is required to operate the filling pump, check


and clean the filling pump filter. The filter should be cleaned at
least once a year.

The filtering screen (17) of the pump is located in the filling line of the tank. To clean the filtering
screen, remove the quick coupling part (15).

Flushing control automatics
Operation and maintenance

1. GENERAL ID: 14206

The flushing control automatics enables drilling in areas where rock contains soft and fragmented
layers ormud and clay pockets. When drilling in such a place the drill bit easily gets blocked. The
blocked bit prevents flushing air from cleaning the hole and this leads to jammed drill steels.
The flushing control automatics constantly monitors flushing; if air flow is insufficient because of a
clogged bit or blocked hole, the drill steels are automatically lifted up until air flow is normal again and
drilling will continue normally. Usually by lifting the steels a little, the flushing holes in the bit will open
and drilling starts again.

Flushing air flows through the venturi tube (1) on its way to the rock drill. The restriction creates
pressure difference for the air flow. The pressure difference switch (S65) is connected to the venturi
tube by hoses. When the drill bit starts to get blocked, the pressure difference drops and contacts of
pressure difference switch will close (switch setting is 0.1 bar). Now voltage is connected through the
closed contact of the switch (S65) to the coil of the flushing control valve (240) and the spool moves.
The feed pilot pressure gets to feed direction valve (23) port (c) and feed return starts.

When the flushing holes in the bit open, the pressure difference again increases over 0,1 bar; the
pressure difference switch (S65) disconnects the voltage to the flushing control valve (240) and the
spool returns to its original position. The feed pilot pressure gets to feed direction valve (23) port (d)
and feed forwards starts.

Water Injection System with Pressure
Operation and Maintenance

1. WATER INJECTION SYSTEM ID: 34119

The system injects water into the flushing air to make the flushing dust damp. The damp dust sticks
to the walls of the hole and forms a cement--like layer that prevents the hole from collapsing. Water
injection can be used during collaring as well as drilling.

1 Rock Drill 2 Flushing Valve


3 Compressor 4 Water Tank
5 Water Regulating Valve 6 Solenoid Valve
Water in the tank at the rear of the rig is forced with pressurized air through the water injection solenoid
valve and regulating valve into the flushing line. Regulating valve and switch for solenoid valve are
in cabin.
Note:When water injection is on also the dust suction is on.When usingmuch water stop dust collector
motor because there is risk that water gets into the dust collector filters and blocks them. If the rig is
provided with a movable suction head, we recommend that the suction head is lifted up during col-
laring to make observing of water amount easier.
When the water amount is correct, most of the drill cuttings come out at the cyclone and only a small
amount reaches the fine separators.Using suitable amounts ofwater can also affect the usable life of
the filters.

DUST SUPPRESSION ADDITIVES

1. DUST SUPPRESSION SYSTEM ADDITIVES ID: 14142

In dust suppression systems, the suppression agent used is water or a water/additive mixture.

1.1. Water injection system ID: 14143

In a water injection system, water or a water / foaming agent mixture is led into the rock drill’s flushing
air. The fluid led into the flushing air suppresses the formation of rock dust in drilling and vaults the
hole with a cement-like layer that prevents the hole from collapsing.
The fluid used is water or a mixture of water and 0.5 to 5% foaming agent, such as Baroid Quick-
Foam; for additional information, visit www.baroididp.com.
The amount of fluid led into the flushing air is 0.5 l/min (factory setting). The actual amount of fluid
used depends on the type of the rock and the size of hole drilled. If fluid is used excessively, the hole
tends to block; if too little is used, the dust created is visible.

DUST SUPPRESSION ADDITIVES

1.2. The DustMizer system ID: 14144

With the DustMizer system, dust suppression fluid is led into the rock drill flushing air, in like manner
to that of the water injection system. In addition, dust suppression fluid is injected into the lower part
of the dust collector. The dust suppression fluid led into the flushing air suppresses the formation of
rock dust in drilling; it instead forms a sand-like and grainy, dust-free substance.
The fluid used to suppress the dust is a mixture of water and 1 to 2% biodegradable orange oil, like
Nalco Dustfoam; for additional information, see www.nalco.com.
The amount of dust suppression fluid led into the flushing air is 0.5 l/min (factory setting). The actual
amount of fluid used depends on the type of the rock and the size of hole drilled. If fluid is used
excessively, the hole and the dust collector outlet port tend to block; if too little is used, the dust
created is visible.
The maximum time the dust suppressing fluid can remain in the fluid line is 40 minutes. After that,
the fluid lines must be blown empty.

Central lubrication system
Operation and maintenance instructions

1. OPERATION ID: 14100

The MultiLube system is a central lubrication system in which the pumping unit (1) pumps the lubricant
through piping (2) to the dosers (3). The dosers feed the pre-selected amount of lubricant to the
lubrication points. The operation of the system is controlled and monitored with a control unit (4). The
control unit controls the system by automatically starting the process at an interval chosen by the
user and monitors the pressurisation of the system and the amount of lubricant. If the pressure does
not reach a set level within the set maximum pressurisation time, or if the amount of lubricant drops
to the lower limit, the control unit indicates a malfunction with the warning lights on the button panel
(5) (rigs with a cabin) or via the user interface (6) (rigs without a cabin).

2. PUMPING UNIT ID: 14101

2.1. Structure ID: 14102

The pumping unit consists of the body (1) and lubricant reservoir (2).
The body is comprised of the pump element (3), electric motor (4), line valve (5), pressure relief valve
(6), and heating element (7). The pumping unit is controlled by the control circuit board (8). The
pumping unit is equipped with line-specific pressure sensor (9).
The lubricant reservoir is equipped with the follower piston (10), level indicator (11), and low level
switch (12). The filling connector (13) of the lubricant reservoir features a filter (14) and safety valve
(15).

2.2. Operation ID: 14103

When the pressurisation stage begins, the control starts the pump and opens the line valve. In the
pressure switch operation, the pump stops when the pressure switch closes and restarts when it
opens. After the pre-selected pressurisation time, the control stops the pump and the pressure from
the line is discharged into the lubricant reservoir.
If the lubricant level drops to the low limit during pumping, the reservoir’s low level switch sends an
alarm signal to the control and pumping is stopped. The alarm status disappears when the lubricant
reservoir is filled and the alarm is reset.

3. FILLING THE LUBRICANT RESERVOIR OF THE PUMPING UNIT ID: 14104

The lubricant reservoir of the pumping unit is filled through the filling connector equipped with a filter.
1. Ensure that the area surrounding the pumping unit is clean. Impurities in the system prevent its
trouble-free operation and cause damage when they reach the lubrication point.
2. Remove the lid from the lubricant container (1) and press the follower plate (2) tightly to the
container on top of the lubricant. The follower plate is not used with fluid lubricants, as it would
not float on the surface of such lubricants.
3. Place the container lid (3) on top of the lubricant container. Fasten the container lid to the container
with the wing screws (4).
4. Insert the pump (5) through the container lid into the follower plate’s central unit (6).
5. Connect the lubricant hose (7) to the pump.
6. Fill the lubricant hose by pumping by hand.
7. Connect the quick connector (8) to the lubricant hose.
8. Connect the quick connector to the pumping unit filling connector (9).
9. Fill the lubricant reservoir of the pumping unit by pumping slowly by hand.
10. The filling of the lubricant reservoir can be monitored with the level indicator (10). To prevent
overfilling, the pumping unit is equipped with a safety valve (11).
11. Turn the pump handle (12) to a vertical orientation to discharge the pressure so it passes to the
lubricant container.
12. Disconnect the quick connector from the pumping unit filling connector.
13. Fasten the protecting cap (13) of the pumping unit filling connector.
14. Fasten the protecting cap (14) of the filling device quick connector.
The filter (15) of the filling connector must be cleaned regularly
and replaced if necessary.

4. DOSER GROUPS ID: 14105

4.1. Structure ID: 14106

A doser group consists of a mounting rail (1) and one or more dosers (2) attached to it. The mounting
rail divides the lubricant among the dosers, which feed the chosen amounts to the lubrication points.
The doser includes the charging valve (3), dosing chamber (4), dosing piston (5), and spring (6).

ID: 19786

4.2. Doser operation ID: 14107

During pressurisation, the pressure in the line increases and the doser charging valve moves to the
uppermost position. At the same time, lubricant flows past the charging valve and moves the dosing
piston to its uppermost position. From this position, the dosing piston pushes the set lubricant dosage
from the dosing chamber to the lubrication point.
After the pressurisation, the pressure in the line decreases and the charging valve moves to the
lowermost position and closes. The spring returns the dosing piston to its lowermost position; at the
same time, lubricant flows above the dosing piston to the dosing chamber.
The line can be pressurised again when the pressure in the line has decreased and the dosing pistons
of the dosers have returned to their lowermost position.
Ensure that there is no pressure in the system when replacing
the dosers.

6.4.2. Pressurisation ID: 14124

The pressurisation time is displayed in seconds. The green indicator light for line 1 or 2 indicates the
line to be pressurised. Green indicator light P indicates that pressurisation is in progress.
The pressurisation can be stopped with the SET button.

6.4.3. Extra lubrication cycle ID: 14125

An extra lubrication cycle can be started if the system is not in alarm mode or shut down, or if pres-
surising is not in progress.
The extra lubrication cycle can be started from normal mode with the SET button when the display
is showing the time elapsed since the previous pressurisation.
In single-line systems, the line is pressurised once.
The extra lubrication can be stopped with the SET button.
In pressure sensor operation, the line pressure discharge is monitored. A new pressurisation is started
only when the pressure in the line has decreased below the set limit.

6.4.8. Alarms ID: 14130

The system is in alarm mode if the red indicator light for line 1, line 2, or pressurisation ( P) is flashing.
Low level alarm
The system triggers the low level alarm, stops the pressurisation, and switches to alarm mode if the
lubricant reservoir is empty - i.e., the reservoir’s low level switch is closed. At this point, code AGr
flashes on the display and red pressurisation indicator light P flashes. The pressurisation starts again
for the same line when the low limit switch has opened and the alarm has been reset using the
SET button.
Pressure alarm
The system triggers the pressure alarm and switches to alarm mode if the line pressure has not
decreased sufficiently by the time pressurising starts, or if the line pressure has not increased suffi-
ciently during the pressurisation.
High pressure alarm
If the line pressure has not decreased sufficiently when pressurising starts, the code AHP flashes on
the display and the red indicator light for the line 1 causing the alarm flashes.
In the pressure sensor operation, the alarm is triggered if the line pressure is over the selected low
limit when the pressurisation starts. The pressurisation starts again for the same line when the pres-
sure has decreased below the low limit and the alarm has been reset using the SET button.
Low pressure alarm
If the line pressure does not increase sufficiently during the pressurising, the code ALP flashes on
the display and the red indicator light for the line 1 causing the alarm flashes.
In pressure sensor operation, the alarm is triggered if the line pressure does not reach the set limit
value within the set maximum pressurisation time. The pressurisation starts again for the same line
when the alarm has been reset using the SET button.

7. RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS ID: 14134

A lubricant is composed of basic oil, thickening agent and additives. The basic oil, forming the majority
of the composition of a lubricant, determines the properties of the lubricant. The basic oil together
with the thickening agent determines the rheological properties of the lubricant. (Rheology = a science
dealing with the deformation and flow of matter.) The viscosity of the basic oil is a temperature--
dependent magnitude that indicates the fluidness of liquid: the smaller the viscosity value, the more
fluid the basic oil is.
By choosing the correct lubricant and lubrication system settings, you can also prevent semi--fluid
lubricant from running out from the lubrication point. For Safematic HEAVY lubrication systems, we
recommend grade NLGI 0 - 2 lubricants in summer and grade NLGI 00 - 0 lubricants in winter.
When choosing a lubricant, you should pay attention to the viscosity of the basic oil and the high
quality of the lubricant in addition to the NLGI classification.

Operation temperature NLGI grade Example

Mobil Chassis LBZ
Esso Fliessfett S 420 (EGL 3818)

Shell Grease Central W1 (NLGI 1)
Esso Beacon EP 1 (NLGI 1)
Shell Retinax EP 2 (NLGI 2)
Shell Alvania EP 2 (NLGI 2)
As a general rule in temperatures below 0_CNLGI --grade 00 greases are recommended. In tem-
peratures above 0_C NLGI --grades up to 2 can be used.
Note that other properties of the grease can affect pumpability and system performance.
