4.1 MOUNTING OF COMPRESSOR
A suitable foundation or fabricated support must be
established to support the compressor. It should be rigid
enough to keep the compressor frame level and maintain
alignment of the compressor and motor. Tie-down bolts of
sufficient size must be used to provide uniform contact
between the foundation and the compressor frame.
Materials such as rubber or cork can be used to provide
uniform contact between the foundation and compressor
frame.
•
Piping loads must be eliminated through the use of flex
connectors or other systems which prevent piping
loads from being transmitted to the compressor.
•
Special consideration should be made to meet
national and local electrical codes for the required
space around and in front of the electrical panel.
Lighting should be provided for future service
requirements.
•
Accessibility for fork lift trucks, overhead cranes and
maintenance vehicles should be given careful
consideration in order to provide any maintenance
that may be required. Adequate space around the unit
should be provided for access to all components of the
compressor.
•
Softer surfaces in walls or ceilings will absorb sound
and minimize ambient noise levels. Harder, reflective
surfaces will increase ambient noise levels.
NOTE
Ambient temperatures above 104˚F
(40˚C) require that the high ambient
option is specified for the
compressor.
4.2 VENTILATION AND COOLING
Air-Cooled Compressors
•
An area with adequate space must be provided for the
compressor and its components. Air-cooled
compressors require a minimum of 3 feet (1 meter)
around the perimeter of the compressor.
•
The location should be free from standing water and
allow access to clean air that is free from exhaust and
paint fumes, dust, metal filings or caustic chemicals.
•
Cooling air should be removed from the area in order
to prevent the re-introduction of heated exhaust air
back into the compressor’s cooling system.
•
Reduced headroom above the compressor will
require that cooling air be either ducted or in some way
deflected away from the compressor. Inadequate
ventilation will result in higher ambient operating
temperatures.
NOTE
Systems that employ both a
conventional reciprocating
compressor and a screw-type axial
compressor must be isolated from
each other by use of a common
receiver tank. Individual airlines from
each compressor should be piped to
the common receiver tank.
NOTE
Shipping straps are painted red in
order to help identify them for
removal. Be sure to remove them prior
to operation of the compressor.
