NOTICE!
Ambient temperature too low.
The reduced lubrication properties of oil that is too viscous can result in damage when starting
the machine.
➤ Make sure that the temperature of the machine is at least +3 °C before starting.
➤ Heat the machine room adequately or install an auxiliary heater.
2. Ensure adequate lighting so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or
hindrance.
3. If installed outdoors, the machine must be protected from frost, direct sunlight, dust and rain.
If the machine is installed together with other plant (compressors, refrigeration dryers, etc.),
then under no circumstances may hot cooling air from other plant be directed to the cooling
air inlet end of the compressor.
Hot air can cause damage to the machine.
5.2.2 Ensuring the machine room ventilation
Adequate ventilation of the machine room has several tasks:
■ It prevents subatmospheric pressure in the machine room.
■ It evacuates the exhaust heat of the machine and thus ensures the required operating condi‐
tions.
➤ Consult with KAESER if you cannot ensure the conditions for an adequate ventilation of
the machine room.
1. Ensure that the volume of air flowing into the machine room is at least equivalent to that being
removed from it by the machine and exhaust fan.
2. Make sure that the machine and exhaust fan can only operate when the inlet aperture is ac‐
tually open.
