BOGE Operating instructions for C 10 L...C 20 L series screw compressors
–
Leaking oil must not spread out over the floor.
–
No inflammable materials must be located within a radius of at least 10 ft
around the compressor.
–
No inflammable machine parts, such as cable ducts, may run overhead of
the compressor.
Sound protection
Only install compressors in workrooms if the sound pressure level of
their measuring surfaces does not exceed 85 dB (A).
Admissible
environmental
influences
The compressor room must be clean, dry, cool and free of dust.
Admissible ambient temperatures
Maximum ambient temperature (for colling): + 104°F
Minimum ambient temperature:
+ 41°F
Ventilation
If the following instructions are not observed, the admissible final com-
pression temperature may be exceeded. In this case, the compressor
will switch off automatically.
Ventilation openings (free-standing installation)
–
Arrange supply air openings close to the floor.
–
Arrange exhaust air openings in the ceiling or at the top of the wall.
–
The required cross sections for the supply openings (as well as for the
flaps and weather protection grids) are indicated in the table.
Attention!
Nonobservance of the admissible ambient temperature may lead to the fol-
lowing problems:
–
The compressor will switch off when the admissible final compression
temperature is exceeded or gone below.
–
Pipe lines and valves will freeze up at low temperatures.
–
Damage due to reduced lubricating ability of the compressor oil.
Measures to be taken to ensure that admissible ambient temperatures
are observed:
–
Avoid any pipe lines or units radiating heat in the vicinity of the compres-
sor, or insulate them well.
–
Never install the compressor in the cooling air flow of other machines.
–
Provide the supply air openings with adjustable louvres to ensure that the
minimum temperature is not gone below in winter.
–
BOGE anti-frost facility (series).
Caution!
Arrange the compressor intake openings or ducts such, that dangerous ad-
mixtures (e.g. explosive or chemically unstable materials) cannot be drawn
in.
