Extreme Cold Weather Operation 

(Down To -10

F, -23

C

In addition to the above, the following should be provided: 

1. 

It  will  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. Since shutters are not provided 
as a factory option, blocking off a portion of the cooler with plywood should be satisfactory. 

 

2. 

Auto operation should not be used in extreme environments. 

 

3. 

Some  means  of  providing  heat  during  shutdown.  Start-up  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.  The heaters should be sized to provide at least a +10

 

F (-12 C) environment 

for  coolers,  motor  and  sump.  Figure  2-3,  page  15,  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 complications in the operation and installation of the unit. 

 

Refer to Engineering Data Sheet 13-9-411, available from an authorized Gardner Denver distributor, for the 
advantages of using the heat recovered from rotary compressors. This heat recovery could easily pay for 
an adequate shelter for the unit. 

 

AUXILIARY  AIR  RECEIVER 

-  An  auxiliary  air  receiver  is  not  required  if  the  piping  system  is  large  and 

provides  sufficient  storage  capacity  to  prevent  rapid  cycling.  When  used,  an  air  receiver  should  be  of 
adequate size, provided with a relief valve of proper setting, a pressure gauge and a means of draining 
condensate. 

 

OPTIONAL MOISTURE SEPARATOR/TRAP 

– The unit can be provided with an optional stand-alone 

moisture separator and trap that is field-installed downstream of the aftercooler. 

 

CONTROL PIPING 

- Control piping is not necessary since the Rotary Screw compressor unit is factory 

wired and piped for the control system specified. 

 

INLET LINE 

- 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 galvanizing or painting with a moisture and oil-proof sealing lacquer. Up to 
ten (10) feet (3 meters) in length, the inlet line should be the full size of the inlet opening on the compressor. 
If an extra-long line is necessary, the pipe size should be increased according to Inlet Line Length Chart 
below in Figure 2-4. 

 

Accessibility  for  inlet  air  filter servicing must be  considered  when  relocating  the  filters  from the  unit  to  a 
remote location.
