Ventilation possibilities
Fig. 3.3: Ventilation possibilities
A Supply and exhaust air openings in the outside walls
(free-standing installation)
B Supported by exhaust air ventilator
C Exhaust air duct into the open
D Exhaust air duct with recirculation flap
Hot exhaust air is mixed with the cold ambient air, as required. Thus pre-
venting the plant from freezing up at temperatures below freezing.
E Using the hot exhaust air for heating
In the winter, the hot exhaust air is used for room heating. In summer it is
directed into the open.
Condensate disposal
The air taken in contains water in form of vapour, which turns into condensa-
tion during compression.
WARNING!
The condensate contains oil. Never lead it into the public sewage system
without prior treatment.
Strictly observe the effluent disposal laws of your local authorities.
Oil-water separator
The
BOGE-oil-water-separator
separates the oil from the condensate. The
cleaned water may be fed directly into the public sewage system.
The oil is collected in a separate container. Dispose of the oil according to
environmental regulations.
If, due to special operating conditions, the oil should emulsify, use an emul-
sion cracking plant.
