Failure to properly size, set and install pressure relief valves can be fatal.
PRESSURE VESSELS
Air receiver tanks and other pressure containing vessels such as, but not limited to, pulsation bottles, heat
exchangers, moisture separators and traps, shall be in accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code Section
VIII and ANSI B19.3 Safety Standards.
ELECTRICAL
Before installation, the electrical supply should be checked for adequate wire size, breaker size, transformer and
capacity. During installation a suitable fused or circuit breaker disconnect switch should be provided. Where
a 3 phase motor is used to drive a compressor, any unreasonable voltage unbalance between the legs must be
eliminated and any low voltage corrected to prevent excessive current draw. Compressors must be equipped with a
properly wired magnetic motor starter or a pressure switch rated to carry the full motor current load. The coil which
engages and disengages the contact points in the motor starter is controlled by the pressure switch. Never attempt
to bypass the pressure switch or adjust it past the factory set pressure range. Improper installation of the electrical
system can cause the motor to overheat or a short circuit to occur.
CAUTION
CAUTION
!
The installation, wiring, and all electrical controls must be in accordance with
ANSI C1 National Electric Code, ANSE C2 National Electric Safety Code, state
and local codes. All electrical work should be performed by a qualified
electrician. Failure to abide by the national, state and local codes may result
in physical and/or property damage.
CAUTION
CAUTION
!
ASME coded pressure vessels must not be modified, welded, repaired,
reworded or subjected to operation conditions outside the nameplate
ratings. Such actions will negate code status, affect insurance status and
may cause severe personal injury, death, and property damage.
