J.P. Sauer & Sohn Sauer WP 61 L 500 D — 30 bar. It is normally installed in the engine room, compressor room, cargo machinery space or refrigeration plant according to service. Its primary purpose is to compress air, refrigerant or cargo gas for the shipboard duty identified by its category. Starting-air, service-air, cargo and refrigeration compressors differ in medium and protection, but all depend on sound compression elements, cooling, lubrication and controls. The model designation identifies the listed configuration, but no additional meaning is inferred from the model code beyond the information supplied in the source record. For exact ratings, dimensions, settings, capacities, materials and variant-specific limits, refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure.

Common failures & inspection points

Restricted suction or dirty filters reduce delivered capacity and cause long running periods or low discharge
Valve, piston, rotor or compression-element wear causes reduced capacity, abnormal temperature or oil carry-over
Cooling restriction causes high discharge temperature and protective trips
Lubrication or bearing deterioration causes abnormal noise, vibration or rising temperature
Automatic control, unloader, pressure or capacity-regulation faults cause cycling, failure to start or shutdown

Service & Maintenance

Inspect intake or suction path, compression elements, lubrication, cooling, drains or separators, relief devices, non-return valves and controls. Review capacity, temperature, pressure and alarm trends. Test automatic start/stop and protective functions under an approved procedure. Refer to the manufacturer documentation for the exact figure for pressure, temperature, clearance and service limits.
