FIGURE 2–5 – INSTALLATION FOR COLD WEATHER OPERATION
5.
Monitor the unit carefully during start–up and op-
eration to be sure it is functioning normally.
6.
Use NEMA 4 enclosure for electrical devices.
Extreme Cold Weather Operation (Down To –40
_
F.)
– In addition to recommendation for +10
_
F. installa-
tions, the following should be provided:
1.
A temperature switch to control the fan should be
provided for better starting and quicker warm–up.
This switch can be provided from the factory and
will delay fan start–up until the discharge tempera-
ture reaches approximately 150–160
_
F.
2.
It will probably be necessary to provide shutters or
to block off part of the cooler in some manner
since the cooler is greatly oversized for operation
in these low temperatures. Shutters are not a fac-
tory option.
3.
Auto operation should not be used in extreme en-
vironments.
4.
Coolers should be located as close to the unit as
possible. Long lines to and from the cooler only
further complicate the circulation of oil flow on cold
starts. Heat tape and insulation may be required
on oil lines.
5.
Some means of providing heat to the oil reservoir
and cooler during shutdown should be provided.
There are various methods to accomplish this, but
since openings are not provided for sump heaters,
the use of radiant heaters is recommended. Heat-
ers should be sized to provide at least a +10
_
F.
environment for the coolers, motor, and sump.
FIGURE 2–5 shows how these might be located
in a typical installation and sizes required.
Remember unsheltered (outside) installations should
be avoided where possible. Installation next to a heated
building where enough heat can be used to keep the
compressor room above freezing will save many com-
plications in the operation and installation of the unit.
CONTROL PIPING – Control piping is not necessary
since the Electra–Saver
R
unit is factory–wired and
piped for the control system specified.
INLET LINE (FIGURE 2–6) – Where an inlet line is
used between the air filter and the compressor, it must
be thoroughly cleaned on the inside to prevent dirt or
scale from entering the compressor. If welded
construction is used, the line must be shot blasted
and cleaned to remove welding scale. In either
case, the inlet line must be coated internally by galva-
nizing or painting with a moisture and oil–proof sealing
lacquer. The inlet line should be the full size of the inlet
