It should turn around smoothly, without any 'hickups' (be sure to completely shut down the air compressor!). Check the isolation of the motor windings. Should be in the mage-ohms (you need an isolation tester / high voltage ohm meter for this). Check the voltage when the compressor is running.
[pdf] According to screw compressor manufacturers, treatment is closing the ball valve to verify that the rated pressure can be attained and inspecting the air compressor component to prevent issues with that component constituting the treatment procedure.
[pdf] Though the oil free type compressor design method is used for twin-screw steam compressor, the bearings and synchronous gears still need lubrication by pressured lubricating oil. If steam leaks into the l.
