COMPRESSORS<br />

sphere.To ensure maximum compressor unit life, provisions must be made for an adequate supply of<br />
cooling air during installation of the compressor unit. For the same reasons the unit must not be operated<br />
above the maximum ambient temperature.<br />
6.4 Compressor Drive System<br />
6.4.1 Description<br />
The prime mover, which is either a single or three phase electric motor, drives the compressor with a V-<br />
belt. The prime mover is mounted on an adjustable base plate and requires periodic adjustment to<br />
ensure proper V-belt tension.<br />
6.4.2 Checking the Drive Belt<br />
1. The proper belt tension for the V-belt is where the belt does not slip under a full load.<br />
2. A rough value for this is when the V-belt deflects Approximately 3/8” (10mm) when pressed with<br />
thumb pressure between the two pulleys. See Figure 6-3.<br />
3. Readjust a new V-belt after the first twenty-five operating hours.<br />
4. Check for damage or wear every 125 operating hours.<br />

6.4.3 V-belt Tension Adjustment<br />
1. Slightly loosen the bolts holding the prime mover onto the base plate (1).<br />
