1. Air inflow
2. Air outflow
Ensure that the floor of the facility can withstand the weight of the compressor. Install the
compressor on a level surface that is able to bear its weight.
Adjust the horizontal axis of the compressor using a levelling instrument.
If the compressor is not anchored to the base on which it is installed, the tilt angle with
respect to the horizontal surface must not exceed 3°.
If the compressor is anchored to the base on which it is installed, the tilt angle with respect
to the horizontal surface must not exceed 7°.
Install the compressor in a facility where precipitation cannot reach.
Choose a facility for installing the compressor with a minimum level of dust. Install the com-
pressor at least 1,5 m from walls.
If multiple compressors are installed, there should be a 1,5 m minimum distance between
each compressor.
There should be a 4 m safety distance from the area of the operated equipment connected
to the compressor.
The facility in which the compressor is installed must be fitted with a combined extract-and- in-
put ventilation system.
The volume of extraction ventilation must not exceed 40% of the air inflow capacity of the input
ventilation in a facility where the compressor is installed and fitted with an extract- and input
ventilation system.
The compressor should not be installed in a facility where the temperature may drop below +5°С.
In order to extract hot air flowing out the compressor, an air duct may be used that is up to 3 m in
length and with a cross section 20% larger than that of the air-outflow orifice from the compres-
sor's radiator. If an air duct longer than 3 m is used, additional duct fans should be used.
3.4 Connection to the compressed airline
Provide the throughput capacity of the compressed-air line in accordance with the perfor-
mance of the compressor.
In order to avoid damage associated with seal failure of the compressed-air line, the com-
pressor should be connected via a flexible hose.
All components of the compressed-air line must have a working pressure no less than the
compressor's nominal pressure.
Use a pressure vessel with a capacity corresponding to the compressor's performance and
the compressed air consumer.
COMPRAG
Screw air compressor A-Series
The facility where the compressor is installed should be provided
with air inflow equivalent to twice the compressor's capacity.
