Quincy Compressor-QSI

Location
Locate the compressor on a level surface in a clean, well-
lit and well-ventilated area. Allow sufficient space (four
feet of clearance on all sides and top of the compressor)
for safe and proper daily inspection and maintenance.
The entire length of the frame base must be supported.
Shim where necessary but do not use wood.
Ambient temperature should not exceed 110°F. High
ambient temperatures may result in a high air temperature
shutdown. All models are intended for indoor
installation; however, it is possible, with certain
modifications, to accommodate some outdoor locations.
Cabinet models are water-resistant but not water tight.
Sheltering from rain, snow and freezing temperatures is
mandatory.
WARNING!
Do not operate in temperatures below 32°F or
above the limits outlined in Appendix B -
Technical Data.
Do not locate the unit where the hot exhaust air from
other compressors or heat generating equipment may be
drawn into the unit. Never restrict the flow of exhaust air
from the fluid cooler or cooling fan. Heated exhaust air
must be exhausted outside to prevent high temperature
conditions in the compressor room. If the room is not
properly ventilated, compressor operating temperatures
will increase and cause a high temperature shutdown.
CAUTION!
Clean, fresh air, of sufficient quantity, is required
for proper compressor operation.
In high humidity areas, avoid placing the compressor in a
basement or other damp locations. Control the
compressor temperatures and monitor compressor fluid
for signs of water contamination. Fluid and filter
changes may need to be increased in high humidity areas.
Increased operating temperatures may be required.
CAUTION!
Removal or modification of sound insulation
could result in dangerously high sound levels.
Quincy QSI compressors are essentially vibration free,
however, some customers may choose to bolt the unit to
the floor to prevent the accidental breakage of piping or
electrical connections as a result of being bumped. Use
only lag bolts to secure the unit. Do not pull the bolts
down tight. Overtightening the lag bolts may place the
frame in a twist or bind causing breakage of fluid coolers,
piping and reservoirs.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances should a compressor be
installed in an area exposed to a toxic, volatile or
corrosive atmosphere, nor should toxic, volatile
or corrosive agents be stored near the compressor.
Piping Connections
Never join pipes or fittings by soldering. Lead-tin
solders have low strength, a low creep limit, and may,
depending on the alloy, start melting at 360°F. Silver
soldering and hard soldering are forms of brazing and
should not be confused with lead-tin soldering. Never
use plastic, PVC, ABS pipe or rubber hose in a
compressed air system.
Piping Fit-up
Care must be taken to avoid assembling the piping in a
strain with the compressor. Piping should line up without
having to be sprung or twisted into position. Adequate
expansion loops or bends should be installed to prevent
undue stress at the compressor resulting from the changes
between hot and cold conditions. Pipe supports should
be mounted independently of the compressor and
anchored, as necessary, to limit vibration and prevent
expansion strains. Piping should never be of smaller size
than the connection on the compressor unit.
