1. G E N E R A L
DESCRIPTION
1.1 General Description The compressor model RR15070 is a two stage, reciprocating ‘W’
type, splash lubricated and with Air-cooled cooling system. It is
designed for providing compressed air to braking system of EMU
Coach. This compressor is driven by an AC Electric Motor. The
compressor is designed for operation at a discharge pressure of 7
Kg/cm2 and can be operated upto maximum pressure of 10 kg/cm2
10
During the upward motion of the piston, the combined action of the
inlet valve springs and the pressure differential developed between
the inside and outside of the Low Pressure cylinder closes the inlet
valves. The air, which is trapped in the cylinder, gets compressed.
The compressed air forcibly opens the delivery valves due to the
formation of pressure differential, which has been developed between
the discharge manifold and the cylinder. Air leaves the intercooler,
entering the high pressure cylinder through its intake valve. As the
high pressure piston moves upward, it compresses the air to a higher
pressure, forcing it out through the discharge valve and connecting
pipe to the After cooler. Air leaving
the After cooler is connected to the application line in the EMU Coach.
A safety valve is mounted on the intercooler, which relieves the
pressure beyond 5 Kg/cm2. Both first and second stages receive
power from the crankshaft.
Cooling System Both the low-pressure cylinders are connected to the Aluminium
Intercooler through a stainless steel pipe. Fan that is located behind
the cooler sucks the atmospheric air through cooler fins. The cold
air is delivered to the High pressure Cylinder. The outlet of High
pressure cylinder is connected to After cooler. The hot air is cooled
as same manner of Low pressure. The outlet of After cooler is taken
for application.

5. DESCRIPTION
O F P A R T S
5.1. Cylinders This Compressor has two 90mm diameters Low Pressure Cylinders
and one 60mm diameter High Pressure Cylinder. Cylinders are made
of high grade Grey iron Castings with fins for better cooling
17
5.2. Cylinder Heads and valves This Compressor is equipped with three cylinder heads (2 LP & 1
HP) that has integral fins for better cooling. All inlet & outlet ports
are provided with elliptical flange for leak proof connections. The
valves are combined concentric disc type, loaded with springs,
operated due to the differential pressure between the upstream and
downstream pressure.

5.3. Crankshaft and connecting The crankshaft is a three-piece construction and made out of special
rod assy alloy forged steel. It is precision machined, ground and dynamically
balanced. High-pressure stage connecting rods is made of forged
and assembled together the crankshaft. Connecting rod big end is
provided with steel bearing rollers and small end is provided with
needle roller bearing. Low-pressure connecting rods are connected
with Main connecting rod in the Eye end. Crankshaft & connecting
rod assembly makes an integral part.
18
The crankshaft is provided with single row heavy-duty ball bearing
at both ends. Crank shaft fly end is having taper so that it can be
coupled Rotational motion of the crankshaft is converted to
reciprocating motion by slider crank mechanism. Rotation of the
crankshaft is in a counter clockwise direction as viewed from drive
end.
Figure 7: Crankshaft
5.4. Pistons and Rings The Pistons are made of low expansion aluminum alloy and
elliptically ground on the outside diameter. Both low pressure and
high-pressure pistons have two overlap Perma-Seal compression
Rings and two oil control Rings. Compression rings are made of
closegrained cast iron. Oil control rings are made of stainless steel
with chrome plated and having three piece constructions.
19
5.5. End covers End Cover is made of Cast iron, which has more stiffness and
deflection is minimized. This houses one main bearing and two
numbers threaded holes are provided for ease of end cove removal
from crankcase. Fly End cover is also used as motor mounting
bracket

5.6. Crankcase The crankcase was employed as a sump for the lube oil, which can
hold 3.65 liters of lube oil. The RH side wall in the crankcase is
provided with an oil filing cum overflow port which prevents over
filling of oil. This oil filling port is closed with a threaded cap & dipstick.
Dipstick is used to monitor the oil level in the crankcase. The oil
level should be above the min level marking.The crankcase has one
elliptical mounting flange with breathing hole. This is used to connect
Breather Valve. One No. M10 through hole is provided in the free
end side to insert M10x50 bolt for locking the crankshaft during Motor
assembly & removal.

5.7. Oil Seal An oil seal is provided on the Fly end & Free end sides. This seal
is a lip type and is normally composed of a nitrile rubber material.
A coil spring is molded into the lip area of the seal to maintain a
constant seal lip pressure against the crankshaft and ensure
proper sealing, which prevents oil leaks from crankcase to Motor
and outside.
5.8. Inter cum aftercooler The cooler is made of Aluminium tubes for lower weight and have
the patrician internally for Intercooler and Aftercooler. The
intercooler reduces the temperature of the compressed air leaving
the first stage prior to entering the second stage in order to improve
the overall thermodynamic efficiency of the system. The
aftercooler reduces the temperature of the compressor air leaving
the final stage so that downstream brake equipment gets the cool
air. Drain valve is provided at the bottom of the intercooler to
drain the condensate collected in the intercooler. A safety valve
is provided on the intercooler, which opens at 5 Kg/cm2 .
WARNING
It is important that the safety valve be maintained
in good working order and that the pressure
setting is such that the safety valve will provide
pressure relief ifthe intercooler pressure exceeds
5 Kg/cm2. Failure to comply with this warning may
result in serious injury to workmen and/or
bystanders.

5.9. Breather Valve The breather assembly is mounted on the crankcase. It operates as
a check valve to provide a partial crank case vacuum during normal
operation of the compressor and to discharge air displaced in the
crankcase during the compression process. The diaphragm assembly
in the breather assembly acts as a one-way valve, which allows the
air to flow through it from the crankcase to atmosphere. This process
maintains adequate vacuum inside the crankcase.
5.10. Wire rope isolator The Wire rope isolator acts as vibration reducer and shock observer.
It prevents the transmission of shock loads to Coach during
compressor running. Wire rope is made of high quality stainless steel
and Retainer bars are made out of Aluminium alloy.
5.11. Suction filter The Dry type suction filter is used and mounted directly along with
compressor. The filter is designed to reduce the compressor noise to
low level.

SOLVENTS AND
L U B R I C A N T S
6.1. Cleaning Solvents The solvent used to clean specified reusable metal parts MUST BE
an aliphatic organic solution, such as mineral spirits that will dissolve
oil or grease, and that will permit the parts to be cleaned without
abrasion. Alkaline cleaners may be used to clean aluminum type
Pistons.

specified in the parts catalog. Figure and Reference Numbers are for
reference ONLY, not to be used while ordering the parts.
8. MAINTENANCE
S C H E D U L E
IMPORTANT:
The overhaul period represents the TIME PERIOD between
overhauls that is recommended. The actual time of compressor
operation or service before an overhaul is performed is heavily
influenced by the type of service in which the compressor is
used, the mileage of the Coach between overhauls, the ambient
temperature in which the compressor operates, the duty cycle
of the compressor, oil change periods, the environmental
conditions, and inlet air filtration. The actual time periods
between overhauls MUST BE established by the USER and
should be based on USER conditions and experience.
