Principle Data
Hurricane Booster
Atlas Copco Hurricane boosters are second-to-none. They are smaller, lighter and still pack as much power as the larger and heavier
comparable-units of our competitors. Over 40 years of experience has taught us to maximize every component. The Hurricane booster
provides you with a faster pressure build-up, a better penetration rate, cooler bit temperatures and longer bit life.
The 4 cylinder booster block model 276 includes vertical reciprocating pistons, concentric air valves, and a liquid cooling system.
Compressed Air system
The incoming pre-compressed air from the feed-air compressor(s) goes first into a standard pre-cooler with a performance of A + 15°F /
+ 8°C. The suction scrubber tank separates the condensate, which can be drained through a manual drain valve. A high level shutdown
switch ensures proper operation. For multi-stage boosters an intercooler + scrubber tank is installed before each stage to take out the
moisture. The standard air after-cooler has a performance approach of A + 50°F / + 28°C. The booster coolers are high pressure
tubular/fin design.
The back pressure valve at discharge guarantees a minimum discharge pressure of 600 psi / 41 bar (adjustable). This device eliminates
low load conditions and related condensate issues.
Between each compression stage a safety valve is installed to safeguard your equipment and operations.
Booster Cooling System
The booster block and the concentric suction/discharge valves are liquid cooled. The coolant system is connected to the standard
engine coolant system. This guarantees an optimal operation in high ambient temperatures up to 125°F / 52°C.
A unique advantage of liquid cooled concentric valves is that the temperature gradient is kept to a minimum. This ensures a longer valve
life.
Booster Regulating System
The booster capacity depends on the engine speed and the suction air pressure (see capacity chart).
The engine speed can be adjusted manually to match the capacity of the feed-air compressor(s).
The pressure switch at discharge is factory set at 1080 psi. Above this pressure the load/unload valve will open and the high pressure air
will flow back to suction side. At the same time the diesel engine will slow down to 1200 rpm idle speed, which results in big fuel savings.
Engine: Caterpillar C7 ACERT
COM III/Tier 3 compliant six-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine provides ample power to operate the booster continuously at full-load.
The engine has the capability to start the compressor to -10°C (14°F) without the addition of a cold start aid. Cold weather kits are
available for up to -29°C (-20°F).
Fuel system

The booster is standard equipped with a small day fuel tank (20 Gal / 76 l) for short test runs, and with external fuel tank connections for
connection to a bulk fuel tank. Optionally a big fueltank can be installed for 8 hours running at full load (85 Gal / 325 l).
Low fuel level switch is included.
Fuel system includes a 10 micron pre-filter and 3 micron high efficiency filter along with standard Caterpillar water separator.
Engine Cooling System

The cooling system consists of an integrated aluminium oil cooler, intercooler and radiator with axial fan to ensure optimum cooling. The
cooling system is suitably designed for continuous operation in ambient conditions up to +125°F / +52°C.

Electrical System
The booster is equipped with a 24 Volt negative ground electrical starting and operating system.
The control panel includes a ComAP engine controller as standard with pressure gauges, load/unload switch, engine speed control and
monitoring.
The digital ComAp controller monitors all critical booster and engine functions and parameters. It is programmable and a historic event
log enables easy fault finding. The read-out is done on the LCD screen.

Safety Devices
The booster will give a warning and/or shut down in following conditions:
- High suction air temperature
- High discharge air temperature (1 sensor per cylinder)
- High discharge air temperature differential
- Low suction air pressure
- High compression ratio
- High liquid level in scrubber tank
- Low engine oil pressure
- High engine coolant temperature
- High engine speed
Safety devices installed
- Emergency stop
- Safety valves at suction and discharge
- Battery disconnects

Bodywork
For specifications on framework and paint, please consult factory.

Maintenance & repair

Genuine parts
The booster is delivered as standard with genuine consumables, with radiator coolant PARCOOL and with mineral PAROIL 15W40 for
both engine and booster block. For extreme conditions the synthetic PAROIL 5W40 is the recommended oil.
Service
Detailed maintenance schedules are available for each booster model. Standard service packs for the 250 hour intervals include all
consumables, and make preventative maintenance as easy as it can get.
Valve repair and piston repair kits can be ordered for corrective maintenance.
Recommended spare parts proposals help customers to identify which main components they should place in stock to maximize the
uptime of their equipment.
