SECTION 2 COMPRESSOR STARTUP
 Verify that the actual operating conditions will
match expected conditions.
 Reciprocating compressors installed at
permanent locations must be mounted on a
reinforced concrete foundation (6 bag / 4000
psi mix) weighing at least twice the weight of
the bare compressor. Fill a permanent mounted
baseplate/skid with epoxy grout.
 Allow for 18” of clearance for air circulation and
service access around the compressor.
 Outdoor compressor installations must be
protected from the effects of the environment with
a suitable enclosure or overhead protection.
 A power disconnect for the machine must be
installed as per NEC & local code.
 Check the compressor oil level.
 Lockout/tagout the compressor control panel and
tighten all electrical connections within the control
panel (if provided) before startup. Connections
can come loose during shipping leading to
intermittent faults.
 Bump the compressor and check for proper
rotation (Clockwise viewed from oil pump end).
 Use fl exible braided metal hose connections of
proper pressure and temperature rating, to the
compressor and system inlet and discharge ports.
Do not use rubber hose.
 Ensure Gas Packing cases are properly plumbed
to vent/pad/purge locations.
 All Air Booster and Gas Compressors must have
an inlet receiver sized per Hycomp installation
manual. Ensure that inlet and discharge receiver
tanks are secured and bolted down.
 Air Booster and Gas compressors must have
a properly sized fi lter installed at the suction
receiver inlet to protect the booster from system
contamination. Filter should be 1 micron or better,
sized for minimal pressure drop.
 Ambient Air Compressors must have an inlet fi lter
installed.
 Ensure properly sized pressure safety valves are
protecting the inlet and discharge piping systems
and are placed between the compressor and any
isolation ball valve, per ASME Code.
 A properly sized check valve must be located in
the discharge line, after the aftercooler.
 Protect personnel from high temperature piping/
tubing by insulating, warning, and/or restricting
access to the machine boundary.
 Instrument lines to control sensors, unloader
controls, etc., must be 3/8” tubing and drawn
from a receiver, not from the compressor inlet/
discharge piping.
 Install an oil seep drain line and container to route
and contain drainage from the crosshead cylinder.
A hose barb is provided for this purpose.
 Double nut, Nyloc nut, or Loctite foundation
bolting. Check all bolting after the fi rst few hours
and days of operation for tightness.
 Compressors are shipped with ISO 100 / SAE
30 weight oil. Refer to installation manual to
ensure this is appropriate for your environmental
conditions.
 Check your system for leaks and fi x as required.
Remove all pressure from system and isolate and
drain before attempting
fi xes.
 Complete the Hycomp Warranty Registration
Card and return it to Hycomp. Call 24/7 with
questions.
