The overall length of all intake air ducts and
exhaust air ducts must not exceed 4 m; one
baffle is permissible. In case of ducts exceed-
ing this length or in case of several baffles,
filters, grids etc., a booster fan must be in-
stalled. In this case, please contact your tech-
nical adviser.
For further information on the required venti-
lation cross sections, please refer to the
Technical Annex.
Ground
!
Place the compressor on a horizontal and
plane surface.
The ground has to have a suitable load-
bearing capacity. BLITZ offers special solu-
tions for inclined surfaces.
BLITZ recommends the use of rubber-metal
connections to prevent vibrations.
3.2 Compressed-air
port
The connection to the compressed-air duct-
work system may be carried out only by
trained experts or by staff members of BLITZ
Company.
Danger
Danger of injury by pressure in the
pipes.
•
Vent the pipes to which the compres-
sor is connected.
Use a flexible hose to connect the
compressor to the supply network.
Thus, stress cracks and sound bridges
are prevented.
•
Compressed-air lines, filters, aftercoolers
and vessels must be equipped with an out-
let for the accumulated condensation wa-
ter at their lowest spots. These outlets
must allow to observe the draining con-
densation water. Condensation water may
contain oil! In draining the condensate, all
applicable regulations on the disposal of
waste water must be complied with.
•
Remove all securing devices before
mounting the conduits.
•
Use only suitable supply lines and cou-
plings which are designed for the intended
working pressure. Do not use any defect
components.
•
Supply lines must not be subjected to
stress or tension.
Observe the technical data for the connection
of compressed air (cf. chapter “Technical
annex”).
3.3 Electrical
connection
The connection to the electrical power system
may be carried out only by adequately trained
expert.
Danger
Mortal danger caused by electric volt-
age but also by rotating wheels, V-
belts, and fan blades.
•
Test runs are permissible only if all
parts of the casing are closed (excep-
tion: check of the rotating direction).
Compressor systems have to be fitted with a
power switch or a plug connection to interrupt
the power supply. Compressor systems with a
motor capacity of more than 3 kW or 16 Amps
have to be fitted with a lockable power switch
and upstream fuses.
In this respect, please refer to the cir-
cuit diagram in the chapter titled
“Technical annex” or in the switch
cabinet as well as to the following
connection conditions.
Check and retighten where appropriate
all electric terminals before first com-
missioning.
