Receiving and Installation
A. Receiving
1.
Please check if you received the correct shipment as you ordered.
2.
Please check if the machine and any accessories received any damage during the shipment.
B. Installation.
In order to ensure proper installation and trouble free operation with minimal maintenance:
1. Select a location where light is adequate enough to operate, maintain, and inspect the
compressor.
2.
A clean, low relative humidity and well-ventilated area is best for safe operation.
The ambient temperature should be kept below 104
°
F (40
℃
). The air delivery of the
compressor will decrease as the temperature gets higher.
3. Preserve space for maintenance, the distance between the compressor and the wall or other
facilities must be greater than 28 inches (71 cm).
4.
Must be at least 3 feet of clearance between top of compressor and over head obstructions.
Figure: 2-1
Remarks: Above data of compressor room temperature rise according to design by
atmospheric temperature add 5 degrees Centigrade.
C. Precaution for piping foundation and cooling system
1. Air piping
(1). Install required accessories.
(2). Main piping should have 1˚- 2˚ slope away from compressor to drain the condensate.
(3). Pressure drop of piping must not exceed 5% of discharge pressure. Select larger pipeline
than required for better efficiency.
(4). Branch line must be located at the top side of main pipeline to avoid the condensate from
flowing to the facilities.
(5). To prolong service life of pneumatic tools, install an air filter regulator unit on the outlet.
(6). Do not randomly reduce the size of main pipeline. Use the proper reducer if it is necessary,
otherwise a great pressure loss will be caused.
(7). The ideal installation arrangement of air solution is air comp air tank + dryer. Air
tank is capable of draining some of the condensate and cooling down the temperature of
compressed air. This will lead to the dryer operating more efficiently.
(8). If the air requirement is large in a short period, install a higher volume air tank to reduce
the frequency of full/off load control.
(9). The ideal main pipeline constructed around the factory as a loop is better for delivering
compressed air from both sides at any point.
