Hydrovane compressor

Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but there doesn't appear to any specific one on air compressors. If it's not please feel free to direct me to the correct one.

I need repair/rebuild/overhaul information on the "Hydrovane" (rotary vane) type compressors, specifically the 13/23/33 series. I have four of these.

The problem I have with one is the internal pressure regulation has stopped working and the pump just blows the pressure relief valve. I've made a basic investigation, and it appears the (adjustable) pressure relief valve seems to control the inlet poppet valve to regulate air drawn in thus air compressed(?) I think the o-ring in the poppet vale piston may be sticking.

Anyone have acces to factory manuals? Or a site where they've been published? I've had no luck thus far.

Cheers, John.

They'll let you download marketing literature here:

There seems to be some traffic in service manuals on eBay.

Thanks Mike..............

I've been looking out for a manual, including eBay, but nothing has come up.

Obviously it's the service/repair field engineers manual that would be of most use.

BCjohnny,
 You need to go to Comp Air, at 211E Russel Road, Sidney OH 45365-0927 if you are in the US.
Their phone number is 937 498 2500.
They can also be contacted on line at http://www.compairusa.com/products/hydrovaneRotaryVaneCompressors.aspx.
I was able to buy a manual for a 17 PUM from them and this Hydrovane is quite a bit older than yours.
B.E.
