3.1 Compressor installation
This section contains important instructions which you need to
observe in order to safely install the compressor and to prevent
damage or malfunction.
Warning!
Follow the safety instructions!
Always remain outside the danger zone of a raised load!
Key word
Ensure that
Installation site
•
Surface: Flat, level, firm
•
Building ceilings: Check load bearing capacity
•
Air: As cool as possible, clean, frost-free, as
little damp as possible
Temp.: +5°C (41°F) - +40°C (104°F)*
•
Adequate ventilation and air extraction at the
installation site
•
The air inlet and outlet must be sufficiently free
•
In the case of compressors without a silencer
box: Minimum distance between air inlet and
wall 80 cm
•
Allow access to all compressor parts for
maintenance activities
•
Arrange the air intake opening in such a way
that no loose items can be sucked in
•
The installation site is illuminated (to read off
the instruments, carry out maintenance
work…)
Lifting work
•
Secure any loose, swinging or pivoting parts
before lifting the compressor
•
Use suitable lifting gear
(weight acc. to data sheet)
•
Always remain outside the danger zone of a
raised load
Conduits,
pressure pipes
•
Remove all blank flanges, stoppers, covers
and bags with drying agents before mounting
conduits
•
Please ensure that the connection from the
aftercooler to the compressed air system can
expand as a result of heat and must be con-
nected by means of a flexible hose.
Supply and return air
•
An exhaust duct must at minimum have the
diameter of the cooler outlet area and can be
3m in max. length with one bow of 90°; for
longer ducts, use additional fans with 20%
more power than the compressor fan
•
The compressor must be free to aspirate and
discharge
•
Prevent the aspiration of warm air
•
When installing several compressors please
ensure that no compressor sucks in the heated
exhaust air from another compressor
* Please ask your retailer in the event of higher temperatures.
