180Capacity

Air compressors like the Tanabe H-74 are commonly found on board ships where they provide essential compressed air for various operations, including deck machinery, pneumatic tools, and air start systems. This particular unit is a vertical two-stage water-cooled air compressor, designed to operate at a pressure of 30 bar with a capacity of 180 m³/hr. It runs at 1800 rpm and requires a power input of 60 PS. Originally manufactured in 2000, this compressor is now available as a reconditioned unit and is currently in stock in Greece. For further details or to place an order, interested parties can contact Cventus Marine through their provided contact information.

Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Carbon buildup in air passages and valves, raising the risk of an air-line fire
  • Intercooler/aftercooler tube fouling reducing cooling efficiency and raising stage discharge temperature
  • Piston ring or cylinder liner wear causing low delivery pressure or excess oil carry-over
  • Safety relief valve failing to lift at set pressure due to fouling or corrosion
  • Automatic condensate drain trap blockage allowing water buildup in the air receiver
  • Unloader/capacity control malfunction causing constant running or short-cycling
  • Cooling water leakage into the crankcase lubricating oil

Inspection checklist

  • Check final-stage discharge temperature against the safe operating limit
  • Test safety relief valves for correct lift pressure
  • Drain and inspect intercooler/aftercooler and receiver condensate drains
  • Inspect cylinder heads and valves for carbon deposits at overhaul
  • Verify automatic start/stop pressure switch settings against the receiver's design pressure
  • Check cooling water flow and temperature; check for oil contamination in the cooling water
  • Check crankcase oil level and condition, change per schedule
  • Test low oil pressure and high air temperature trips

Service intervals

Oil changecommonly every 500-1,000 running hours or per Tanabe's schedule
Safety valve lift testannually - statutory/class requirement for starting air receivers and compressors
Intercooler/aftercooler cleaningcommonly every 2,000-4,000 hours, or sooner if discharge temperature rises
Valve plate/piston ring inspection at major overhaultypically 8,000-12,000 hours, strongly duty-dependent

Typical wear limits

Cylinder liner weargeneral reciprocating air compressor practice tolerates bore wear up to roughly 0.3-0.5% of bore diameter before liner renewal is considered - confirm against Tanabe's own overhaul manual for the H-74, no maker figure assumed here
Piston ring end gaptypically renewed once the gap has opened to about 3-4 times the new-condition value for this class of compressor - confirm against the maker's manual rather than treating this as an exact number

Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.

Critical spares

  • Suction/discharge valve plates (per stage)
  • Piston rings and gudgeon pin bushes
  • Safety relief valve (spare unit or repair kit)
  • Cooling water pump seal/gasket kit
  • Oil filter element
  • Automatic condensate drain trap

Safety

  • Starting air receivers store high-pressure air (this unit is rated around 30 kg/cm2 / roughly 29 bar) - explosion/projectile risk if relief protection is defective; never isolate a safety valve without an approved bypass procedure
  • High cylinder discharge temperature can ignite carbonised lubricating oil deposits in the delivery line ('air-line fire') - keep passages clean
  • Fully depressurise and lock out before opening any casing, valve or pipe joint
  • Hot surfaces at cylinder heads and delivery piping

Class survey

Starting air receivers and compressors are statutory/class items. Class wants safety valve lift-test certificates, periodic internal/external receiver survey, and confirmation that starting air line non-return and isolating valves are inspected alongside the compressor at machinery survey.

Estimated lifetime: Water-cooled multi-stage marine starting-air compressors of this size typically run 40,000-60,000 hours between major overhauls under normal duty - confirm against Tanabe's maintenance manual for the H-74.

Free of charge — send us your request for Tanabe equipment. Our team checks it and replies by e-mail.

Makers and authorised dealers rarely quote marine equipment without the vessel. With these details we can check availability and prices faster; without them we may have to ask first, which can cost a few days. If you cannot share the vessel, a photo of the equipment’s rating plate does the same job — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
