It is recommended, for most installations, to
mount the compressor on the driver’s side of
the vehicle. The unit should be situated in
such a manner that the fan (rear) and
hydraulic cooler (front) are not obstructed.
Do not place the compressor in any location
where it can intake exhaust fumes, dust or
debris.
3.4 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
REQUIREMENTS
The following criteria should be taken into
consideration for the hydraulic system
requirements:
• The hydraulic flow and pressure
requirements of the air compressor.
• A continuous hydraulic load requirement
is needed when the compressor is
running.
• The duty cycle and ambient
temperatures.
• Other hydraulic equipment which may
share the same hydraulic supply
system.
3.5 VENTILATION
REQUIREMENTS
The variables involved with installing the
hydraulic pump system make it impossible to
recommend detailed specifics, as each
customer is potentially different in regard to
vehicle type, customer needs, etc. The
following information is therefore given not
as absolute instruction, but as good practice
guideline
Machine placement will play an important
factor in providing adequate and consistent
cooling air for the system operation. In this
regard, there are two types of mounting
locations to consider: open-mounting and
enclosed-mounting (
Figure 3-1
).
Open-mounting refers to machine
placement location on the service body,
whereby the machine is directly exposed to
the environmental ambient.
Enclosed-
mounting refers to machine placement
location within an enclosure located on the
service body.
Open-mounting provides for the best cooling
situation, allowing for maximum unrestricted
air flow to interact with the heat displacement
components. The mounted unit must have a
minimum
additional six inch (6”)
unobstructed clearance on all sides of the
machine.
Although enclosed mounted-units provide a
degree of shelter and security, this type of
machine location is not recommended, due
to its limiting effect on the air flow needed to
cool an operating system. Should this
mounting type be preferred, then provision
should be made to maximize the machine’s
exposure to the air (i.e., a pull-out mounting
IMPORTANT
IMT highly recommends consulting a
hydraulic supply expert for specifying the
correct hydraulic pump size and type, oil
reservoir size, hydraulic pressure relief,
and other hydraulic supply components for
your application.
NOTE
Hydraulic performance will derate at
temperatures above 150 degrees F.
NOTE
IMT recommends a dedicated pump and
hydraulic circuit.
IMPORTANT
Operation of the hydraulic system will
generate an amount of heat that will damage
system components. For this reason the
equipment package must have a proper
ventilation system installed.
