Item 0001C.1 The unit is to be a 75 HP, air-cooled High Pressure Air Compressor with appropriate air purification system to be able to deliver 15-20 CFH air at 5000 psig. The compressed air to be dried to a dewpoint of (-) 60 degrees F at atmospheric pressure. (+ 20 degrees @ 4500 psig), and contain not more than 1 ppm/w Oil Vapor in the final discharge air. The air compressor shall have not less than 5 compression stages with appropriate intercoolers and after cooler so as to provide discharge air temperatures of 100 degrees F or lower. C.2 The compressor/dryer assembly shall be complete operating unit as described in this section when delivered. C.3 The unit shall be electric motor driven at 460VAC, 60 Hertz, with a maximum motor speed of 1800 rpm.

C.4 The air compressor shall be able to continuously compress free air to 5000 psig, and have a discharge capacity of 15 to 20 CFH @ 5000 psig. The unit shall be enclosed in a weatherproof enclosure. The air receiver shall be at least 1.5 cubic feet and shall be attached to the unit to eliminate short cycling of the compressor. The receiver shall have a pressure relief valve and manual drain valve installed. C.5 Compressor and Motor Controls and Safety Equipment shall be installed as part of the unit.

The filters shall contain replaceable cartridges and be comparable to CUNO Micro Clean Filter Cartridge No. 2278-B2 or U78-B2 or equal. An air drying method shall be installed to bring the final air quality to a dewpoint of minus 60 degrees F when measured at atmospheric pressure. Regenerative tower type dryers ARE NOT acceptable due to the excessive amount of controls and maintenance required on those devices. Air dryer assemblies shall be equipped with a back pressure-regulating valve (Priority Valve) at the discharge end of the dryer unit to prevent a large pressure drop across the air dryer assembly. C.8 All spare parts shall be furnished by the Contractor. The contractor shall be responsible for on site start up and all routine maintenance, i.e. change oil, filters, lubricant, coolant, etc. except for daily check of liquid levels.
