10. Where to install the compressor

Room where compressor has to be installed should be large, well ventilated and protected from dust
and intense cold; a dusty environment will cause damages and difficulties in operation.
If dust goes inside, it may reach the air filter, causing rapid clogging
and part will be deposited over the components thereby preventing
heat exchange. It is therefore evident that the cleanliness of the in-
stallation location is extremely important for the proper operation of
the machine, as this will avoid excessive operation and maintenance
costs.
To facilitate maintenance operations and create favorable air circulation compressor must have a good
amount of free space surrounding it ( Min. 30 cm). The room should be equipped with openings towards
the outside placed in proximity of the floor and the ceiling, which will allow the natural circulation of the
air. If this is not possible, fans or extractors must be
It is not necessary to provide for special foundations or bases. The machine may be simply placed on
a level floor. Compressors fitted on fixed standing tanks should not be secured to the ground. METASYS
recommends installing 4 vibration-damping supports.

Pressure gauges installation

For safety reasons some models are provided with pressure gauges not installed. To correctly fix them
on the pressure regulator and the pressure switch, always use teflon material to avoid any air leak risk.
