5.2 Safety precautions for installation
and assembly
Caution:
– To lift the compressor air ends, suitable lifting
equipment must be used which complies with
the local safety regulations.
– All blind flanges, plugs, caps and bags with
desiccant must be removed before mounting
the pipes. Screw fittings and pipe connections
must be of the correct size and must be suitable
for the respective operating pressure.
– The air drawn in may not contain any flamma-
ble, caustic, toxic or aggressive vapors or
gases whatsoever.
– Make sure that the pressure line from the com-
pressor to the recooler or air system can
expand as a result of the heat and does not
come into contact with flammable materials.
– The air intake opening must be positioned so
that objects, e.g. loose clothing of persons,
cannot be drawn in.
– No external force may be exerted on the air out-
let valve; the connected pipe connection must
be mounted torque-free.
– Covers should be removed as late as possible.
The screw compressor air end system must be
provided with a sufficiently dimensioned ground.
5.3 Installation information
Caution:
– The system must be installed at a location at
which the ambient air is as cool and clean as
possible. Never block the air inlet. It must be
ensured that the penetration of moisture with
the intake air is kept to a minimum.
– screw compressor air ends must always be
installed on a level, torsionally rigid surface and
must be aligned with a level if necessary.
In exceptional cases, e.g. with mobile systems,
these may only be operated up to a maximum
angle of inclination of 10°.
In these cases the inclined position must be taken
into account when checking the oil level and must
be carried out with particular care.
5.3.1 Drive
The compressor air ends are designed as an alter-
native for driving with electric motors, combustion
motors, hydraulic motors, etc.
The power can be transmitted indirectly via a belt
drive (V-belt, toothed belt, etc.) or directly via a
flexible coupling.
The direction of rotation, looking at the shaft, is
counterclockwise, i.e. to the left.
On the model with a transmission, the direction of
rotation, looking at the shaft, is clockwise, i.e. to
the right.
Caution:
When designing the drive, it is generally important
to ensure that the drive shaft has axial clearance
and is not loaded with axial force in both direc-
tions.
