16.4.1 SHIPMENT BY CONTAINER
The predominant method of transport is by container of which there are two different types for capacity and
length: 20 ft (about 6.1 m) and 40 ft (about 12.2 m). The standard container used by Embraco is the 20 ft,
which allows in comparison to the 40 ft, a higher ratio weight/volume and consequently a better utilization
of the internal volume (the number of the compressors in a 40 ft container is limited by the admitted total
weight).
Payload max 24 tons. Follow local limits.
16.3 STORAGE CONDITIONS
Compressors and electrical components should be stored in closed ambient,
protected against rain, water drops, dust and contaminants; air humidity should
not exceed 80 %. Salty sea ambient (transport by vessel, load, unload) are admitted
only for the periods of transportation and custom clearance; storage on the sea
board should be avoided.
There is no any limitation for storage, however we suggest to store compressors in house with ambient
temperature: min -10°C / max 40°C. For limited periods (like transportation in containers in tropical areas)
temperature up to 70°C is admitted.
In case of storage in low temperature, it is not necessary to stabilize compressors before its installation to
the system.
In case of system storing in low temperature, prior to its run, follow recommendations in Chapter
8.5 - Low
ambient operation.
Even if properly stored, after prolonged storage period (over 5 years) the oil on the cinematic parts of the
compressor may dry, making the first start of the compressor difficult and the tube plugs may deteriorate
allowing air/humidity enter into the compressors.
In case of longer storage time, before using the compressors contact the Embraco Technical support team.
16.4 TRANSPORTATIONS
The transportation of all types of packaging must be done with the compressor in upright position.
Maximum number of layers allowed during transportation is 2 layers (icon
indication available on packaging), with maximum weight 2000 kg
Incorrect transport can cause compressor or its parts deformation. Before to use
compressors which are suspected of improper transport or damaged, contact
Embraco Technical Support Team.
