The Turbo Air 3000 Centrifugal Compressor Operator’s Manual
The Inspection Prior to Initial Startup Schedule
As part of the site evaluation, a factory trained and authorized Cooper Turbocompressor service
representative will verify that the compressor is ready to be put into full operation. The service representative
will perform the following inspections and tasks as part of the initial compressor startup
service.
1. Check the compressor package for possible transit or handling damage.
2. Inspect the compressor installation site, including other supporting air system equipment.
3. Verify that the discharge air piping complies with Cooper Turbocompressor design requirements as
stated in this manual as well as on the contract-specific drawings supplied separately. (This includes
checking the locations of control valves, the inclusion of a system block valve, compressor flange
load limits, etc.).
4. Verify that the inlet air piping complies with Cooper Turbocompressor design requirements as
stated in this manual and on contract-specific drawings supplied separately. (This includes checking
the location of the inlet air filter/silencer, the position of the inlet air startup screen, compressor
flange load limits, etc.)
5. Inspect the water and condensate drain piping for completeness.
6. Verify that all electrical connections have been made correctly.
7. Verify that the compressor oil reservoir is filled with TurboBlend TM Lubricating Oil.
8. Rotate the compressor bullgear and main drive motor shaft (while uncoupled) by hand to verify
that both rotate freely.
9. Check the rotation of the main drive and oil pump motors.
10. Make the final alignment of the motor shaft to the compressor shaft, doweling the motor in place
when complete.
11. Verify that the oil reservoir venting system is receiving the proper dry air supply.
12. Begin the lubrication system flush procedure.
13. Verify the temperature setting of the oil heater option (if included).
14. Make any necessary Vantage Control System adjustments to satisfy the user’s expected requirements.
15. Inspect the oil filter element and change it, if necessary.
16. Oversee the installation of the main drive coupling, the lubrication of the coupling, and installation
of the coupling guard.
17. Complete the Pre-Startup Inspection Checklist shown in Table A—2 with installation personnel
before the initial compressor startup procedure.
