Installation conditions
for separately arranged
compressed air receivers
Installation surface
A level industrial floor without foundation is adequate for the installation of the
compressor. No special fastening elements are required.
Fire protection
The following applies to rooms in which compressors with oil injection cooling
are to be installed:
Requirements of fire protected compressor rooms:
–
Walls, ceilings, floor and doors must be designed in
fire protection class
F30
or higher.
–
Flammable liquids must never be stored in the compressor room.
–
The floor around the compressor must be made of non-flammable mate-
rial.
WARNING!
–
Protect compressed air receivers against damage through mechanical
effects (e.g. falling objects).
–
Operate the compressed air receiver and its equipment from a safe loca-
tion.
–
Adhere to safety areas and safety clearances.
–
Ensure that the compressed air receiver stands securely. It must not shift
or tilt due to external forces. This also includes the additional weight dur-
ing a pressure test!
–
The compressed air receiver must
not
be bolted to the base.
–
Ensure that the compressed air receiver is easily accessible from all
sides (for recurring tests). For the necessary operating and maintenance
areas have a look at the attached dimensioned drawings.
–
Ensure that the factory label is clearly visible.
–
Ensure that compressed air receivers are adequatly protected against
corrosion.
–
Only use the compressed air receiver for compressors operating with cut-
in and cut-out mode if the pressure fluctuation range amounts to
Δ
p
≤
20% of the maximum operating pressure.
WARNING!
–
For compressors with motor ratings
exceeding 54 Hp
, ensure that the
compressor room is equipped with special fire protection.
–
Install compressors with motor ratings
exceeding 134 Hp
in a separate
fire protected room.
