4.1 MOUNTING OF COMPRESSOR
A foundation or mounting capable of supporting
the weight of the compressor, and rigid enough to
maintain the compressor frame level and the com-
pressor in alignment is required. The compressor
frame must be leveled and secured with foundation
bolts, and full uniform contact must be maintained
between the frame and foundation. No piping
loads shall be transmitted to the compressor at the
external connections.
4.2 VENTILATION AND COOLING
For air---cooled compressors, select a location to
permit sufficient unobstructed air flowing in and out
to the compressor to keep the operating tempera-
ture stable. The minimum distance that the com-
pressor should be from surrounding walls is three
(3) feet (1m). To prevent excessive ambient tem-
perature rise, it is imperative to provide adequate
ventilation.
For water---cooled compressors, it is necessary to
check the cooling water supply. The water system
must be capable of supplying the flows shown in
Table I---Water Supply Requirements (Water---
cooled), and must be maintained at all times.
These figures apply to a compressor running at full
load with an aftercooler. For cooler water or a par-
tially loaded compressor, slightly less water is re-
quired. However, for hotter water the flow require-
ments are significantly greater.
Table 2---Ventilation Requirements indicates the
ventilation requirements necessary to keep the
compressor running at a normal operating temper-
ature. The fan air requirement is the volume of air
which must flow through the compressor for proper
ventilation. The specified heat rejection require-
ment is the amount of heat that is radiated by the
compressor. This heat must be removed to assure
a normal operating temperature. With air---cooled
compressors it is possible to use this heat for space
heating, providing no additional pressure drop is
created across the fan. Consult a Sullair office for
assistance in utilizing this heat.
DO NOT install a water---cooled or an air---cooled/
aftercooled compressor where it will be exposed to
temperatures less than 32

C).
4.3 SERVICE AIR PIPING
Service air piping should be installed as shown in
Figure 4---1. A shut---off valve should be installed to
isolate the compressor from the service line if re-
quired. Also notice that the service line should be
equipped with water legs and condensate drains
throughout the system.
WARNING
!
“The Plastic Pipe Institute recommends against the
use of thermoplastic pipe to transport compressed
air or other compressed gases in exposed above
ground locations, e.g. in exposed plant piping.” (

)
Sullube 32 should not be used with PVC piping sys-
tems. It may affect the bond at cemented joints. Cer-
tain other plastic materials may also be affected.

Adopted January 19, 1972.
(I)
Water pressure should be between 25 and 75 psig (1.7 and 5.2 bar).
