3.4 Requirements on installation facility
Fig. 3.4 Installation facility proposal
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 precip-
itation cannot reach. Choose a facility for installing the compressor with a minimum level of
dust. Install the compressor 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 equip-
ment connected to the compressor. The facility in which the compressor is installed must be
fitted with a combined extract-and- input ventilation system.

The facility where the compressor is installed should be provided
with air inflow equivalent to twice the compressor's capacity.
