2.
Tighten fittings on 1/2-inch FPT input and 1/2-inch FPT output connections.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
3.
Connect flexible hoses to the fittings and secure with hose clamps.
If hard piping is desired, install the water lines directly onto the compressor 1/
2-inch FPT input and output connections. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
Cooling Water: General Considerations
•
Cooling water must meet flow and pressure requirements. See
Cooling Water:
Flow and Pressure Requirements on page 4-6
.
•
To conserve water, the shut off the cooling water when the compressor is not
running.
NOTE:
If cooling water below 45°F (7°C) runs through the compressor while the compres-
sor is not operating, the compressor oil will change viscosity and thicken, causing
the compressorto overheat and shut off at startup. In this event, repeatedly restart
the compressor, allowing it to run until it has shut off several times. The oil tem-
perature will rise and then the compressor will run continuously.
•
Drain and purge water from the compressor before shipping it back to the fac-
tory or subjecting it to freezing conditions. Purge water from the compressor
by blowing compressed air, regulated between 30 to 40 psig (200 to 275 kPa)
into the compressor output connection, and allow water to exit from the water
input connection.
Equipment Damage
To avoid damaging adjacent equipment, check water connections for
leaks.
