7.1 LOCATION IN PLANT
Ensure that the correct tie down points are used.
For major overhaul (i.e. motor removal) position the
machine to obtain lifting access e.g. fork lift truck.
See diagram in reference section for minimum space
requirements for normal operation and maintenance.
Ambient temperatures higher than 46
_
C (115
_
F) must
be avoided as well as areas of high humidity.
Consider also the environment surrounding or near the
compressor. The area selected for the location of the
compressor should be free of dust, chemicals, metal
filings, paint fumes and overspray.
Hard surfaces may reflect noise with an apparent
increase in the decibel level. When sound transmission
is important, a sheet of rubber or cork can be installed
beneath the machine to reduce noise. Flexible piping
may be required.
It is recommended that provision be made for lifting
heavy components during major overhaul. Use only
lifting points provided.
Minimum space in front of control panel door as
required by National or Local codes must be
maintained.
The compressor can be installed on any level floor
capable of supporting it. A dry, well ventilated area
where the atmosphere is as clean as possible is
recommended.
Sufficient space all round and above the compressor
must be allowed, to enable the effective removal of the
cooling air which, in turn, will reduce the risk of
recirculating the cooling air back through the
compressor.
CAUTION
A minimum of 1 m (3.3ft) all round the compressor is recommended. If headroom is restricted, then the
exhaust should be ducted or deflected away from the machine.
Screw type compressors [1] should not be installed in air systems with reciprocating compressors without
means of isolation such as a common receiver tank. It is recommended that both types of compressor be
piped to a common receiver using individual air lines.
The machine is shipped with the shipping restraints in place. Ensure that these are removed to allow free
movement of the drive assembly during operation. Each restraint is painted yellow.
