“OIL-LESS” SCROLL AIR WITH DESICCANT AIR TREATMENT
Furnish and install, where shown on the drawing a prefabricated oil-less scroll air with
desiccant air treatment system as manufactured by Amico Source.
AIR COMPRESSOR SYSTEM
The medical air system must meet or exceed the requirements of NFPA 99. The package
shall include oil-less scroll air compressors and associated equipment, one ASME air
receiver and one control panel. The only field connections required will be system intake,
exhaust and power connection at the control panel. All components shall be completely
pre-piped and pre-wired to single-point service connections. All interconnecting piping and
wiring shall be completed and operationally tested prior to shipment. Provide liquid tight
conduit, fittings and junction boxes for all control and power wiring.
The system shall include individual compressor inline intake filters, discharge check valves
of bronze construction, safety relief valves, intake and discharge flexible connectors,
isolation valves, air cooled after coolers for each compressor, high discharge temperature
shut down switches, pressure control switches, as well as medical grade demand check
valve for gauge and switches. The system shall include an air receiver of ASME
construction rated for 200 PSI MWP service. The air receiver shall be equipped with a
pressure gauge, safety relief valve, 3 valve by-pass, water gauge and automatic electronic
tank drain with manual override. The inside of the tank shall be coated for rust protection.
CONTROL PANEL
The system shall include a UL listed control panel in a NEMA 12 enclosure with the
following accessories for each pump:
Externally operable circuit breaker with door interlock, control circuit transformer with
fused primary and secondary circuits, H-O-A switch, magnetic starter with 3 leg overload
protection, hour meter and motor running light. Provide audible and visual local alarm for
the following: compressor temperature malfunction and reserve compressor in use.
Provide manual reset for thermal malfunction shutdown. All control and alarm functions
shall remain energized while any compressor in the system remains electrically on-line.
The lag compressor shall be able to start automatically if the lead compressor fails to
operate. Alarm contacts should be provided for remote annunciation for all alarm points.
AIR COMPRESSOR
The compressors will be belt driven oil-less rotary scroll, single stage, air-cooled
construction with absolutely no oil needed for operation. Each compressor will Be
equipped with isolation valve, check valve, safety valve, electric motor, belts, belt guard,
air cooled after cooler with separator, T.M.P.D. (Thermal malfunction protection device)
and serviceable bearings completely separate of air chamber extending compressor. The
pump shall have the capacity at 120 PSIG.
COMPRESSOR MOTOR
The motor shall be a continuous duty, 3600 RPM, TEFC NEMA construction motor.
COMPRESSOR ACCESORIES
The system shall include individual compressor inline intake filter, discharge check valve,
safety relief valve, intake and discharge flexible connectors, isolation valve, air cooled
after-cooler, high discharge temperature shut down switches on each discharge, pressure
control switches, as well as medical grade demand check valve for gauge and switches.
DRYER / FILTER / REGULATOR SYSTEM
An integral air treatment system with purge saving feature NFPA 99 compliant assembly
featuring dual desiccant air dryers, dual pre-filters, after-filters, pressure regulator valves,
dew point monitor, CO monitor and system safety valves. It is requires to meet and
exceed the current code requirements shall be completely pre-piped and pre-wired to
single-point service connections.
There shall be two identical banks of air treatment equipment, piped in parallel and
provided with valves to by-pass either bank for filter element replacement, maintenance
and repair work while still treating medical compressed air through the other set. Each
bank consists of three stages of treatment. The first stage is a prime efficiency coalescer
with filter differential gauge and electronic solenoid auto drain valve. The second stage is
a desiccant heatless air dryer, equipped with purge control. Pressure dew point of -40oF
is attained by directing the flow of saturated compressed air. The dry compressed air is
discharged from the “on line” tower into the third stage. The third stage is a prime
efficiency particulate after-filter with differential manual drain. Downstream pressure
regulators will maintain constant discharge pressure of 55 PSIG (field adjustable).
AIR RECEIVER
The air receiver shall be of ASME construction. The receiver shall be rated for full
compressor service and shall be equipped with a gauge and manual valve drain. It should
be rated for a minimum of 200 PSIG design pressure.
STATEMENT OF WARRANTY
Amico Source warrants its Air Systems are to be free of defects in material and
workmanship under normal use for a period not to exceed thirty (30) months from date of
shipment, or twenty four (24) months from date of start-up.
The service of a factory trained representative shall be made available at the jobsite to
check installation, start-up and instruct operating personnel in the proper operation and
maintenance.
