2. GENERAL DATA
2.1 Principle of operation
The male screw and the female screw mesh and rotate
in opposite directions inside the casing fitted with inlet
and discharge ports.
Rotation generates a volume increase on the inner face
between threads and grooves, which corresponds to
inlet, and a volume reduction on the upper face, which
corresponds to compression.
On the discharge port side, a set of gears synchronizes
the male screw and the female screw. Thus, the screws
are not in contact. The discharged air does not enter in
contact with any friction part and remains clean and free
from particles.
On the drive shaft side, the female screw is driven by a
set of step-up gears.
An oil pump delivers pressurized oil which circulates,
lubricating gears and ball bearings.
Sealing is provided between lubricated parts and the
compression stage by means of labyrinth seals. These
seals do not enter in contact with the shaft and are not
subject to wear.
Thanks to their technology, TYPHON II compressors are
reliable and have a long service life.
TYPHON II compressors need very limited maintenance,
which reduce vehicle downtime.
TYPHON II version 20R, 13R/15L and 19R/22L drive
speed were defined so as to drive it directly through uni-
versal joints from a P.T.O. shaft. TYPHON II compressor
is therefore fitted within the chassis. Thanks to this sys-
tem, the installation is lighter and saves space on the
side of the vehicle for other accessories.
TYPHON II version 30R can be directly driven by an
electric or hydraulic motor, and can be driven by a diesel
motor.
The 20R and 30R versions may be fitted with a SAE4
flange so that they can be mounted on diesel engines.
Our packages are delivered without oil. The use of a
compressor with an oil level that is not located
between the two limits indicated by the gauge can lead
to important property damage and serious injuries.

2. GENERAL DATA (continued)
2.3.1 CONDITIONS AT SUCTION
In all cases of use, the compressor inlet suction air must
be filtered in order to eliminate particles bigger than 5 µm.
Compressor functionning under pressure :
The maximum pressure drop at suction must be lower
than 75 mbar.
A clogging indicator device turns red when the filter
needs to be changed.
Vaccum operation (SP version only) :
The maximum vacuum authorised for the intake of the
compressor is -8 bar, since the exhaust is into the
atmosphere. Pressure less than 0,3 bar at the discharge
of the compressor A vacuum breaker must be installed
on the suction circuit in order not to exceed -0,8 bar at
the compressor inlet flange.
The clogging indicator is red during the closed intake
operation. This is normal : after a vaccum operation, the
clogging indicator must be released so it becomes trans-
parent again.
REMINDER :
THE CLOGGING INDICATOR MUST NOT BE RED WHEN
THE COMPRESSOR IS IN PRESSURE OPERATION.
When the compressor is used in vaccum operation,
the temperature of the air that escapes from the
exhaust to the atmosphere may be more than 200°C.
Make sure that the flow of hot air does not cause any
damage to the surrounding elements. If necessary,
provide for protections that prevent operators from
touching the hot parts.
The maximum acceptable temperature at suction as a
function of equipment operating conditions is given in
the § TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
2.3.2 CONDITIONS AT DISCHARGE
The TYPHON II compressor must be protected by a valve
that protects the compressor against accidental over-
pressure.
See Instructions 1401-E00 MISTRAL B600 TYPHON II
CHECK AND RELIEF VALVE.
Maximum acceptable discharge pressure : see §
TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS.
The pressures correspond to the valve opening start
pressure. In a period of 60 seconds, it is acceptable to
have a pressure of 0,2 bar higher when the valve passes
the complete flow rate.

2.3.3 RECOMMENDED DRIVE CONDITIONS
Our screw compressors can be the object of various
modes of driving, it is however necessary to take care of
the adapted protection systems. Thank you to respect
the following recommendations imperatively.
Operating torque at full speed (Nm)
The transmission lines (universal joint, pulley belt, etc.)
must be sized so as to be able to accept the loads above
and also the starting torque and protected by an appro-
priated system.
It is imperative that the drive shafts be dynamically
balanced.
The non balancing of the drive shafts can lead to
mechanical ruptures that are susceptible of causing
important property damage and/or serious injuries.
The shafts of the motors driving the TYPHON II com-
pressors must be aligned within one angle degree on the
TYPHON II shaft. In the case universal joint drive, the
motor and compressor side shafts must be parallel with-
in one degree. The universal joint plates must be parallel
within one degree. Specific installation conditions : See
Instructions 1401-Q00 DDK BARE SHAFT END FOR TRUCK
INSTALLATION - § PTO SHAFT DRIVE.
Not following the alignment instructions can lead to
mechanical ruptures that may create major property
damage and/or serious injuries.
2.3.4 ACCEPTABLE OIL PRESSURE RANGE
The oil pressure is measured at the tap point located on the
synchromesh gear box (item G on the outline drawings) :
In operation, the surface temperature of a compressor
and parts close to him may reach high temperatures
liable to cause significant burns and inflammation of
materials.
Having the compressor run above its maximal tempe-
rature may lead to serious body injuries or property
damages.

The operator should remain nearby the equipment throughout
the use to ensure the proper functioning of the system.
4.1 Lubricant recommendations
MOUVEX BSC3 oil is recommended for 20R and 30R
configuration, whereas it is imperative for 13R/15L and
19R/22L.
A start up oil change has to be made after one week or
10 working hours. Not performing this oil change will void
the warranty.
For the first week or 10 working hours, you can choose
a standard mineral oil.The standard mineral oil grade will
be selected according to the ambient temperature under
which the compressor will be operated :
- Below -10°C. . . . . . . . . . . . . . SAE 10 W 40
- Between -10°C and 30°C . . . SAE 15 W 40
- Above 30°C . . . . . . . . . . . . . . SAE 15 W 50
With BSC3 oil, oil change is recommended every year or
600 working hours that the compressor is equipped with
or without a multiplier.
In case of operations done under minus 25°C, BSC3 oil
viscosity sharply increases and can generate starting
troubles. It will be necessary, in that case, to preheat the
compressor body.
It is also allowed to use oil SAE 5W40 temporarily allowing
to tolerate -35°C.
That implies the following constraints :
• Oil must be replaced every 100 operating hours.
• Imperative return to the BSC3 when the temperature
becomes again positive.
Oils BSC and SAE are miscible; the passage of the one
with the other thus does not imply particular procedure of
cleaning.
Compressors can be used with an external oil cooler in
case of intensive applications (see Instructions 1401-AC00
OIL COOLER SCREW COMPRESSORS MISTRAL B600
TYPHON II).
4.2 Filling of lubricant
Our packages are delivered without oil. The use of a
compressor with an oil level that is not located
between the two limits indicated by the gauge can lead
to important property damage and serious injuries.
The quantity of oil for each compressor is approximately :
• TYPHON II 20R - 30R . . . . . . . . . 6 l
• TYPHON II 13R/15L . . . . . . . . . . 7l
• TYPHON II 19R/22L . . . . . . . . . . 7l
Before starting the system, fill the casing with oil so that
the oil level is set between the min and max value of the
gauge.
NB : A residual volume of 0,5 l of oil may be present inside
the compressor when it leaves the factory.
After filling, the level must under no circumstances
exceed the maximum marker on the oil gauge (the level
is taken after the gauge has been completely screwed
onto the filling tube).

4.3 Operation
• The compressor must be started with the discharge
valves open.
• When it is started for the first time, check the com-
pressor rotation direction. Also check rotation speed
(refer to § TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS).
• The compressor shall be stopped without any coun-
terpressure at discharge.
• At the first start, check that the combinations of rotation
speed and discharge pressure of the compressors
are in conformity with those indicated in § TECHNICAL
CHARACTERISTICS.
Before any equipment startup, it is necessary to
check the coherency between the motor rotation
direction and the compressor operating direction. A
startup with rotation in the wrong direction will lead
to irreversible property damage on the compressors
that is not covered by the guarantee.
During operation, the temperature of the surface of
a compressor and nearby parts can be in the region
of 200°C. The compressor and the parts located
nearby are thus susceptible of provoking serious
burns and property damage. Be careful to not
approach elements that are sensitive to heat and
affix plates informing users that the compressor is
hot, to prevent any risk of burns.
4.4 Starting-up
BEFORE starting compressor, open all air valves neces-
sary to vent the tank and compressor to atmosphere.
Verify there is no possibility of operating at pressure before
compressor reaches correct speed.
Close all valves and proceed to pressurize the tank and
discharge the cargo.
4.4.1 Start-up procedure for manual gear box
• Start the engine and run with standard speed.
• Depress clutch and engage the PTO.
• Release the clutch SLOWLY.
• Set engine speed to give the correct compressor speed.
4.4.2 Shutting down procedure for manual gear
box
• Depress the clutch and disengage the PTO.
• Reduce engine speed to idle.
ALWAYS DISENGAGE THE DRIVE BEFORE SLOWING ENGINE
DOWN.
• Release the clutch.

5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 Maintenance schedules
After every cleaning of the truck
Always run the compressor for 15 minutes to remove
any water that inadvertently gets into the piping. DO
NOT fog or introduce anti-corrosive liquids into the com-
pressor to prevent corrosion : Use of liquids in the com-
pressor will cause failure.
After first 10 hours or first week operating
Change the compressor oil and clean the magnetic plugs.
According to the prescriptions of § LUBRICANT RECOM-
MENDATIONS.
Change the compressor oil and clean the magnetic plugs.
Weekly
The compressor should be run for at least 15 minutes to
prevent moisture from collecting inside. This will reduce
the risk of corrosion damage to the compressor and
other equipment in the piping.
Clean the outer surfaces and the compressor cooling
wings, and the multiplier inlet grille. Inspect DAILY if
operating in dirty or severe environment. Check the con-
dition of the inlet filter hose for splits and tears. Replace
or repair as necessary.
Inspect compressor, system piping and components.
Clean or repair as necessary.
Monthly
Check oil level, add the necessary volume if necessary.
Check for cleanliness the breather inside the oil jauge,
clean with an air blower if necessary.
5.2 Compressor oil change procedure
Oil gauge : See § LUBRICANT RECOMMENDATIONS.
Unscrew and remove the oil filter with its seal (marked C
on the outlines drawings). Drip-drain all the oil contained
in the casing.
Carefully clean the oil filter with solvent. Blow out all
impurities with a compressed air blast.
Clean the magnetic plugs (marked M on the outlines
drawings).
After checking that no particles remain in the filter, reins-
tall it making sure that the seal is in good condition. Fill
the compressor. See § FILLING OF LUBRICANT.
