2.0 INSTALLATION 2.1 VENTILATION Oil flooded rotary air compressors produce large amounts of heat. Because of this large heat production, the compressor must be placed in a room with adequate ventilation. A room in which the amount of air that is drawn in and exhausted is equal to or greater than the cooling fan air flow requirement for the compressor that is installed.

3.8 MODULATION/ACS CONTROL (OPTIONAL) For those plants which have relatively high constant air demand, relative to the compressor capacity, the recommended control mode is modulation. The modulation control system retains the features of the on-line/off-line control, but also provides for throttling of the inlet flow up to the off-line air pres- sure setpoint value.
