Technical Features and Installation Procedure

What Makes the ELEMENT HP T2 Exceptional?

The Atlas Copco 1616727381 ELEMENT HP T2 is a high-pressure (HP) second-stage compression element that incorporates several advanced engineering features:

• Proprietary Rotor Coating: The synchronized male and female rotors are treated with a specialized, high-grade PTFE composite coating. This prevents dry friction, minimizes internal leakage, and maintains optimal clearances even under extreme thermal stress.
• Advanced Sealing Technology: The air end is equipped with precision carbon ring seals and a physical atmospheric isolation chamber, completely preventing any gear lubrication oil from migrating into the compression cavity.
• Perfect Synchronization: High-precision timing gears maintain the exact non-contact rotation profile of the rotors, drastically optimizing specific power consumption and extending the operational lifespan.
• 4/6 Tooth Combination: The rotors adopt Atlas Copco’s standard profile (SAP) with a 4/6 tooth combination and equal rotor diameters. This design minimizes internal leakage loss and ensures stable, efficient compression.
• 100% Oil-Free Operation: The advanced oil-free tooth design guarantees that no oil contaminates the compressed air. This is essential for industries such as pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, electronics, and textiles, where even the slightest trace of oil can compromise product quality and safety.

Installation Procedure

Based on Atlas Copco’s official service guidelines, we recommend the following procedure for installing the 1616727381 ELEMENT HP T2 Air End:

Step 1: System Preparation

• Shut down the compressor completely and isolate it from the power supply
• Depressurize the entire compressed air system
• Close all inlet and outlet valves

Step 2: Remove the Old Air End

• Carefully disconnect all piping and electrical connections from the existing air end
• Remove the mounting bolts and carefully extract the old air end from the compressor housing
• Inspect the mounting surfaces for any damage or debris

Step 3: Prepare the New Air End

• Unpack the new 1616727381 air end from its wooden crate packaging
• Inspect the unit for any signs of transit damage
• Verify that the part number matches your order (1616727381)
• Clean all mounting surfaces thoroughly

Step 4: Install the New Air End

• Position the new air end carefully into the compressor housing
• Secure all mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s specified torque settings
• Reconnect all piping and electrical connections

Step 5: System Restart and Verification

• Slowly reopen the inlet and outlet valves
• Restart the compressor and monitor for any unusual noise or vibration
• Verify that the air end maintains stable operation at the rated pressure
• Check for any air leaks at all connection points

Important Safety Notes:

• Installation, operation, maintenance, and repair work must only be performed by authorized, trained, specialized personnel
• The air end contains precision-machined components and delicate rotor coatings—handle with extreme care during installation
• Always use genuine Atlas Copco spare parts for maintenance and replacement to maintain warranty coverage
