8.1 Compressor Installation
8.1.1 Compressor Lifting
Upon receiving the compressor, please check if the crate is intact, and compressor is in
good condition. Please also check accessories and documents to be consistent with order.
When lifting the compressor, it is recommended to use steel cable or cable as shown in the
following figure. For RC2-100~930, a safety cable capable of bearing 2 tons of weight is
required. Keep the compressor in horizontal position when lifting, and prevent i t from
crashing, falling on the ground or any other accident that may damage compressor or its
accessories.

8.1.2 Compressor Installation
When installing the compressor, it is necessary to ensure that the system is away from the heat
source to avoid heat radiation. The compressor shall be installed as close to the power supply as
possible for wiring, and the air and drying in good environment shall be maintained. Ensure the
foundation strength is enough to avoid additional noise and vibration during compressor operation,
and enough space shall be reserved for compressor maintenance in the future. In addition, the
compressor shall be installed horizontally and rubber damping pad shall be installed to avoid
vibration transmission between compressor and pipeline during operation.
8.1.3 Precautions for compressor piping
Improper piping will cause abnormal vibration and noise, and damage compressor. In order to
prevent this kind of situation, please pay attention to the following points:
1) After welding pipes, the system should be kept clean to avoid welding slag and other impurities
accumulated in the system, resulting in serious damage.
2) In order to reduce pipe vibration, it is suggested to use copper pipe at suction and discharge side.
