Safety
Hycomp ensures that safety is designed into every
compressor. An Odyssey booster is a precision, high
speed, mechanical piece of equipment. It requires
caution in operation to minimize hazard to self and
property.
All Odyssey boosters have various caution, warning,
and danger labels which must be heeded and should
not be removed. Before operating or performing any
maintenance, read the Odyssey Operation Manual.
q
Reciprocating boosters must be mounted
on a reinforced concrete foundation (6 bag /
4000psi mix) and mounted with epoxy grout, per
“Foundation” section of this manual.
q
Compressors and packages mounted to onshore
transportable platforms or any elevated structure
must be securely fastened to adequately
constructed subframes.
q
Allow for 18” of clearance for air circulation and
service access around the booster. 36” in front of
the Control Panel. See “Location” section.
q
Outdoor compressor installations must be
protected from the effects of the environment;
e.g. cold, heat, rain, sun, dust, etc. Machinery
exposed to the elements requires increased
maintenance and experiences decreased service
life. A block heater with thermostat is required for
cold climates.
q
A power disconnect for the machine must
be installed as per NEC & local power utility
code. Follow Lockout/Tagout procedures, per
OSHA Regulation 1910.147, before any work is
performed. Do NOT work on equipment while it
is running.
q
Lockout/tagout the compressor control panel and
tighten all electrical connections within the control
panel before startup. Connections can come
loose during shipping leading to intermittent
faults.
q
Use threaded or flanged flexible braided metal
hose connections of proper pressure rating to
connect the booster system suction and discharge
ports. Do not use rubber hose.
q
Nitrogen Boosters must have an suction receiver
sized per “Receivers” section of this manual.
Ensure that suction and discharge receiver tanks
are secured and bolted down.
q
Place properly sized pressure safety valves
protecting the suction and discharge piping
systems, between the compressor and any
isolation ball valve, per ASME Code.
q
Install supplied check valve into dedicated port of
discharge receiver tank.
q
Protect personnel from high temperature piping/
tubing by insulating, warning, and or restricting
access to the machine boundary.
q
Pressure sensing lines to pressure transmitters
must be 3/8” tubing or larger, and drawn from
the corresponding receiver, not from the suction/
discharge piping.
q
Route clear tubing, located on motor side of
booster, to an oil catchment location. Small
amounts of oil will accumulate over time.
q
Use double nut, Nyloc nut, or Loctite on foundation
bolting. Check all bolting after the first few hours
and days of operation for tightness.
q
Re-torque all head and flange bolts after the first
40 hours of operation, per the Odyssey Operation
Manual.
q
Re-tighten pressure connections, including tube
fittings, pipe connections, and flange connections,
after initial operation.
q
Odyssey Boosters must have a properly sized
filter installed at the suction receiver inlet to
protect the booster from damage caused by
system contamination. Filter should be 1 micron
or better and sized for minimal pressure drop.
q
Boosters are shipped with ISO/SAE 30 wt
synthetic oil. Refer to Odyssey Operation
Manual to ensure this is appropriate for your
environmental conditions.
q
Check your system for leaks, fix as required.
Remove all pressure from system, isolate
and drain, before attempting fixes, per OSHA
Regulation 1910.147
q
Ensure all components and piping installed with
Odyssey booster are compatible with Nitrogen.
q
Complete the Hycomp Warranty Registration
Card and Warranty Checklist.
