RELEASED 01/Nov/2018 12:06:37 GMT GENERAL INFORMATION The compressor is an electric motor driven, contact cooled screw compressor, complete with all necessary components piped, wired and baseplate mounted. It is a totally self contained air compressor package. Standard air compressors are factory filled with compressor coolant. The standard compressor is designed to operate in an ambient range of 2 °C It is recommended to perform a coolant analysis every 2000 hours or to 46 °C (35 °F to 115 °F).
