1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 OBJECTIVES

By direction of the Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command (reference I),the BAUER high-pressure breathing air compressor, model Varius G-3, was testedby the Navy Experimental Diving Unit to determine if'the compressor dischargessuitable breathing air and has a service life which satisfies the requirementsfor portable scuba diving compressors throughout the Navy.

1.2 SCOPE

1.2.1 Compressor Operation

Compressor testing simulated the field opey in of intermittently

filling scuba cylinders to 2250 psig and 3000 psig. A total of 50 hours ofcompressor operation have been compiled. The testing included subjectiveoperational evaluations but not detailed mechanical considerations of singlecomponents of the compressor.

1.2.2 Air Quality Analysis

Testing for analysis of discharged air was conducted as specified inAppendix B.

1.3 BACKGROUND

The Experimental Diving Unit has previously evaluated several portablehigh-pressure air compressors (references 2 through 5). Mechanical failuresin the compressor or prime mover, low capacity, or poor quality of breathiAgair were cited as reasons for nonacceptance of all but one unit. At the timeof this report there are four portable high-pressure air compressors whichhave been Approved for Navy Use; three are gasoline engine driven and one isdiesel driven.

2. DESCRIPTION

2.1 dEN9RAL DESCRIPTION

The BAUER Varius G-3 high-pressure breathing air compressor (figures Iand 2) is one of a line of high-pressure air compressors manufactured byBAUER Breathing Air, Incorporated, 1328 Azalea Garden Road, Norfolk, Virginia,23502.

2.1.1 Air Compressor

The Varius G is a highly portable three stage, three cylinder, highpressure compressor designed to deliver 2.3 actual cubic feet per minute(ACFM) at 3200 psig.

2.1.2 Prime Mover

The prime mover for the air compressor tested by NEDU is a four-stroke,single cylinder, L-head, air cooled gasoline engine rated at 3 hp at 3600 rpm.The engine is mounted on the compressor unit with a torsion spring axle, andis coupled to the compressor by a V-belt and detensioning mechanical clutchfor ease of engine starting. In addition, an option of three different elec-tric motors (each producing different volume outputs) is available with all

prime movers readily interchangeable.

2.1.3 Purification System

The purification block is constructed of machined, anodized aluminum,and consists of three chambers: an oil and water demister; a dehumidifier;and a filter. Replaceable cartridges are used in chambers 2 and 3, with thecartridge service life dependent on ambient temperature and humidity, as

indicated in the following table:

2.2 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

2.2.1 Compressor Air Flow (Figure 3)

Air is taken into the compressor through the micronic intake filter (2)and is compressed in the first stage cylinder (3) to 80 psig. The air isthen cooled in an intermediate cooler (6) and passes into the second stagecylinder (4) for further compression to 800 psig. The air is again cooledin an intermediate cooler (7) and compressed in the third stage cylinder (5)to the charging pressure. In the after cooler (8) the air is cooled toapproximately ambient temperature. The stages are protected by safety valves(9) and (10), preset to 116 psig and 1160 psig respectively, and the finalsafety valve (11) which is adjustable from 2755 psig to 3200 psig. Operating(back) pressure is read from the gauge (12), which is installed in the filterassembly block and indicates the third stage discharge pressure. From theafter cooler the compressed air passes through the oil and water separator inthe purification assembly (13), and thence through purification cartridges (15).Here vapor and remaining moisture is removed and CO is converted to C02.Condensaticn in the purification assembly is removed by drain valve (14).Downstream of the purification assembly is the back pressure maintaining valve(16) which insures a minimum operating pressure of 2750 psig at both the thirdstage discharge and purification chambers. The air then flows through thecharging hose to the filling valve (18) and the pressure gauge (19), whichregisters the pressure to the tanks being filled.

2.2.2 Compressor Lubrication

The second stage cylinder, third stage cylinder, and driving gears aresplash lubricated from the crankcase by an oil thrower pin. Due to thedirection of crankshaft rotation adequate lubrication of the first stage isnot provided by the oil thrower pin. Additional lubrication for the firststage cylinder is provided by venting oil mist from the crankcase into thefirst stage intake down stream of the micronic filter.

3. TEST PROCEDURE

3.1 PRELIMINARY ARRANGEMENTS

A BAUER Varius G-3 air compressor, serial number 80/122/0, was receivedfrom the manufacturer and prepared for operation in accordance with instruc-tions in the manufacturer-furnished technical manual.

3.2 TEST PLAN

3.2.1 Test Setup

The compressor was set up as shown in figures 1 and 2, and test equip-ment was attached. A YSI thermistor was placed in line to check the manu-facturer installed thermometer, and an additional 0-3500 psig gauge was addeddownstream of the shutoff valve at the end of the charging whip. Appendix Bdescribes the actual test plan and test equipment used.

3.2.2 Test Parameters

3.2.2.1 Endurance Test. The compressor was operated daily to chargesingle 72 cu. ft., single 80 cu.ft., twin 72 cu.ft., and twin 50 cu.ft. scubatanks until 50 hours of operation were logged. The following measurements

were recorded:

(1) Start up time(2) Filter back pressure(3) Tank size and pressure(4) Total hours running time(5) Ambient air temperature(6) Delivery air temperature

3.2.2.2 Flow Test. Flow rate was measured approximately every threehours of operation.

3.2.2.3 Air Sample Analysis. The compressor was operated to charge asingle 72 cu. ft. tank, which was sampled for air purity analysis. Initialsampling and analysis was conducted under a no-load condition, and thensamples were repeated at 12.5, 25, 26, 37.5, and 50 hours of compressorop(:ration.

3.2.2.4 Fuel Consumption. Gasoline fuel consumption of one measuredamount of fuel, two quarts, was calculated twice during compressor testingoperations.

3.2.2.5 Oil Consumption. Lubrication oil consumption was monitoredduring operation with oil levels noted in the test logs.

4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

4.1 ENDURANCE TEST

4.1.1 Location

The unit was placed in an exterior open work area with the air intakefacing the prevailing wind. The test site was not changed, but the-airintake was repositioned as dictated by shifts in wind direction.

4.1.2 Initial Operation

Initially the compressor was set up and run to insure proper operation

and draw a preliminary air sample.

4.1.3 Charge Cycle

During the 50 hour operating period, the compressor accumulated 63charging cycles. Due to the nonavailability of twin 90 cubic foot cylindersas called for in the test plan, single 72 and 80 cubic foot and twin 50 and 72

cubic foot cylinders were used during the charging cycles. All data wasrecorded on log sheets, which are provided as.Appendix C. A randomly selectedcharging cycle is graphically presented as figure 4 to aid in the presentationof the relationship of running time to heat and pressure. It should also benoted that the linear progression of the pressure/time line is due to theback pressure maintaining valve insuring a constant efficiency of the thirdstage for the entire charging cycle.

4.2 DATA COMPUTATION

4.2.1 Test Data

The test data, Appendix C, for this evaluation provides a completeoperational and maintenance log for this test and is the basis for computingand evaluating test results.

4.2.2 Average Charge Rate

Average compressor charge rates for the scuba air cylinders used during

the test were:

Cylinder CFH

Twin 50 cu.ft. - 2.17Single 80 cu.ft. - 2.33Twin 72 cu.ft. - 2.02

4.2.3 Flow Rate

The 'calculated flow rates at given points throughout the test arepresented below. It should be noted that proscribed maintenance was conductedat hour 25. The reduced flow rates starting at hour 30 are felt to be abyproduct of the engine carburetor adjustment, conducted during maintenance.

Hour Flow Rate (CFM) Hour Flow Rate

4.2.4 Filling Time

The average time required to fill standard Navy scuba cylinders isas follows:

Cylinder Filling Time (mins.)

Twin 50 cu.ft. - 44Single 80 cu.ft. - 39Twin 72 cu.ft. - 71

4.2.5 Highest Temperature Differential

The highest ambient and compressor discharge temperature differentialswere computed for ambient temperatures of 80, 90, and 100*F. The followingdata illustrates that the heat of compression retained in the gas after thethird stage intercooler is not great enough to become a major factor in theresultant bottle pressure.

Highest

Running Ambient Discharge Temp.Time Temp.°F Temp.°F Differential OF

18:28 80 124 444:21 90 120 5011:29 100 139 39

4.2.6 Fuel Consumption

Fuel consumption was calculated twice, at running times of 4 hours17 minutes and 5 hours 54 minutes. Consumption of two quarts of unleadedgasoline for each test resulted in fuel use of 3 hours and 30 minutes pergallon, and 3 hours and 19 minutes per gallon, respectively.

Page 18: TEST AND EVALUATION OF BAUER PORTABLE HIGH-PRESSURE ... · The prime mover for the air compressor tested by NEDU is a four-stroke, single cylinder, L-head, air cooled gasoline engine

4.2.7 Air Sampling

Air samples were taken at the start and the end of the test period,every 12.5 hours, and after performance of scheduled maintenance. Thesesamples were analyzed in accordance with Appendix B. The samples indicatedno appreciable contamination, and all gas components met the acceptablecriteria for U.S. Navy standards for compressed breathing air. Table 4-1lists the results of the air sample analysis in a form that facilitates easeof comparison for the entire test. Figure 5 is a graphic display of theana ysis; the effects of the 25 hour servicing and filter change should be

notted.

4.3 MAINTENANCE

4.3.1 General

The BAUER Varius G-3 compressor is easily maintained. Proscribedmaintenance as set forth by the manufacturer's recommended procedure iscomprehensive, but specific wording of the manual is awkward.

4.3.2 Scheduled Maintenance

Sciieduled maintenance was performed in accordance with the manufacturer's

instructions and consisted of the following:

Condensate. Condensate was drained on a regular basis, approximatelyevery 10 minutes.

Fuel and Lubrication Oil. Fuel and lubrication oil levels were checkedon a regular basis and replenished as required. Use was not consideredexcessive.

25 Hour Check. After 25 hours of operation, the V-belt was checked forwear, all fittings were checked for tightness, engine and compressor oil waschanged, and the oil/water and carbon monoxide filters were replaced.

4.3.3 Corrective Maintenance

Corrective maintenance was limited to adjustment of the back pressure

valve and adjustment of the jet screw on the engine carburetor.

1. COMPRESSOR function, maintenance

1.1. Operatlng charactedsticeThe compressor unit consists of three cylinders and three stages.Assembly of the unit see Figure I and 2.

Piping SchemeThe air flow through the compressor unit is shown on figure 8. Air is drawn in through the telescopicintake - I and intake filter - 2. compressed to final pressure in cylinder - 3 - 4 - 5 and recooled byintercoolers -6 -7 and afltercooler -8. The safety valves -9 -10 -11 protect the pressures of thesingle stages. The operating pressure is readable from gauge - 12. By purification assembly - 13, thecompressed air is purified.

The purification assembly -13, is drained by condensate drain valve -14. Pressure maintainingvalve - 16, keeps the pressure constant within purification assembly - 13. Through tilling hose - 17and filling valve - 18. the compressed and purified air is introduced into the cylinders to be filled

1.2. Valve heads and valvesThe air enters and leaves the cylinder through the valves.Piston downward = suction stroke = intake valve open, pressure valve closedPiston upward = compression stroke = intake valve closed, pressure valve open

The valves are subtected to normal wear. Maintenance schedule (item 4) has to be observed. Forchanging the valves the valve heads have to be disassembled.

First unscrew pressure valve screw from 2 or 3 turns.

Disassembly of intake valve 2nd and 3rd stage with valve too PN N4555

Disassembly of pressure valve 2nd and 3rd stage by removing it from the valve head

Attention. Reassemble pressure valve for 2nd and 3rd stage in the following sequence- secure valve cover on valve head equally

tighten torque to approx 16 fh. lbs (22 Nm) valve screw of pressure valve with 8 mm allenwrench

1.3. Lubrication

Pistons and driving gear are lubricated by oil thrower pin. Check oil level daily with dipstick.

Oil change should be accomplished while hot through oil drain plug located at the bottom of the com-pressor

Replace plug and refill with BAUER Compressor Oil. 14'/2 ft oz (430 cm). PN 059140

Check oil level with oil dipstick. Oil level has to be at the upper markirg. See item 5 for recommendedoils.

1.4 Intake filterThe intake filter is a micronc filter. Maintenance includes periodic inspection and blowing out.opposite to the direction of the air intake Before reassembling, check cover 0 ring and replace ifdetective.

1.5. Safety valvesA safety valve is installed in each stage to prevent the stage from over-loading with undue highpressure

Safety valve Ist stage set to 116 psig (8 bar)Safety valve 2nd stage sot to 1160 psig (80 bar)Safety valve 3rd stage set to ooerating pressure required

Should safety valve of Ist or 2nd stage relieve during operation. the.respective intermediate pressureis too high. Source of defect is the intake - or pressure valve of the fullowing compression stage.

Disassemble defeclive valve, clean or exchange, see 1 2
