Chapter 2 - Installation
A - Handling
The CP Compressors must always be handled with care. It may
be lifted either with a forklift truck or by means of a travelling
crane. In the latter case, precautions must be taken in order not to
damage the unit's canopy.
B - Room
The CP Compressors is designed to operate in a frost-free
environment, supplied with air at a temperature of no more than
104 °F. The premises must be well-aired and as close as possible
to the place where the compressed air is used. A space must be
left around the unit, for cleaning and maintenance purposes. It is
very important for the compressor to have an abundant supply of
fresh air. (see page 2).
COMMENT
When the atmosphere is contaminated by organic or mineral dust or
by corrosive chemical emanations the following precautions must be
taken:
1. Provide another air inlet as close as possible to the
compressor suction.(recommendation which is valid if the
only room available is excessively damp).
2 - Use an additional air supply filter. Consult us.
Installation with heat dispersion sleeve
If the operation of the compressor increases the ambient
temperature above 104°F, it is necessary to discharge the hot air
leaving the cooler to the exterior by means of a sleeve.

Make sure that no outside air, especially if humid, can be fed
back into the machine and damage electric and electronic
components or rust metal parts.
The maximum admissible pressure loss of the sleeve should not
exceed 30 Pa (3 mmCE). In case of higher value, provide an
additional ventilation (mechanical extractor) with a flow
equivalent to that of the machine, C1 converter controlled (see
electrical diagram).

C - Assembly
Put the unit on a stable surface. The CP does not need foundations.
Any flat surface that can support their weight will be sufficient
(industrial floor).
D - Air discharge pipes
The diameter of the air discharge pipe must be at least 3" gas for
the CPF 175/200 and CPVS 200/250.Current legislation requires
that a valve which is lockable in the closed position be installed
at the air box outlet, connected to the compressor by a union
and flexible line to allow it to be cut off during repair work.
