The Turbo Air® 3000 Centrifugal Compressor Compressor Handbook

Routine Operation
General Considerations
After successful startup, the operator should keep detailed compressor operation and maintenance
records. (Refer to Section Five, Maintenance, for schedules and instructions for routine and periodic
preventive maintenance procedures.)
Although it may be necessary to review and adjust setpoints to reflect changes in operating conditions,
little other attention is required other than that described in Section Five. However, in addition to
operator inspection and attention at periodic intervals.
To assure long life and optimal output from the Turbo Air 3000 Centrifugal Compressor, always follow
the prescribed maintenance procedures. If problems arise, contact a Cooper Turbocompressor factory
trained and authorized service representative for technical assistance.
WARNING:
When in the process of starting or stopping compressor operation under routine
conditions, do not attempt to restart the compressor until operation has stopped
completely. Restarting the compressor before full shutdown will cause equipment
damage.
The Operating Data Record
Cooper Turbocompressor recommends keeping an Operating Data Record to list inspections and to
store operating data for trend analysis. This record should contain the checklist items included in Table
4—1, along with spaces for the operator’s initials and the time and/or date to ensure that each item or
procedure receives the recommended periodic attention. Keep in mind, however, that Table 4 actually
includes a wide range of options, and remember that not all options are included on all units. (Users
may wish to mark those options that are included in any particular installation for easy reference.
However, if other options are added at a later time, be sure to update the list.)
The Operating Data Record is included as part of the Daily Inspection Checklist contained in Section
Five, Maintenance.
