Rotary screw electric air compressors provide a continuous supply of air. They have two internal screws that rotate in opposite directions, trapping and compressing air. The constant movement differs from piston air compressors that start and stop to meet air flow needs.
[pdf] Check for correct oil level at the ll plug location on the compressor. The oil level is full when oil is at the bottom of the threads in the ll plug hole. Check for oil purging from the air dryer. Refer to the image below as an example.
[pdf] The Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) thermistor causes the compressor “run” capacitor to be bypassed for a brief period of time at start up, creating extra starting torque in the compressor motor.
