Storage Of Compressors; Decommissioning - Gardner Denver L Series Service Manual

9.1

Decommissioning

All compressors are protected against corrosion at the
factory for transport and for brief storage before
commissioning.
If the compressors are to be stored for period
exceeding six months, additional precautions must be
taken.
Compressors which are to be shut down for a lengthy
period must also be protected from corrosion.
Since corrosion occurs more quickly in damp
atmospheres than in dry conditions, it is not possible to
specify a maximum permissible standstill time which will
apply in all cases.
