Installation conditions
for horizontal or free-
standing compressed
air receivers
Installation surface
A level industrial floor without foundation is adequate for the installation of the
compressor. No special fastening elements are required.
WARNING!
– Protect compressed air receivers from damage due to mechanical effects
(e.g. falling objects).
– Ensure that the compressed air receiver and its equipment can be oper-
ated from a safe location.
– Provide safety areas and maintain safety clearances.
– Ensure that the compressed air receiver stands securely. It must also not
shift or tilt due to external forces. This also includes the additional weight
exerted during pressure testing!
– The compressed air receiver must
not
be bolted to the floor.
– Ensure that the compressed air receiver is easily accessible from all sides
(for periodic testing). Refer to the attached dimensioned drawing for
details of the operating and maintenance areas which must be provided.
– Ensure that the factory label is clearly visible.
– Ensure that compressed air receivers are adequately protected against
corrosion.
– Only use the compressed air receiver for compressors operating with cut-
in and cut-out mode if the pressure fluctuation range amounts to
Δ
p
≤
20%
of the maximum operating pressure.
WARNING!
Make sure that external vibrations or shock are not able to impact on the
compressor station.
