Safety Precautions During Operation - Quincy QOCS 25 Instruction Book

6. In multiple compressor systems, manual valves must be installed to isolate each
compressor. Non-return valves (check valves) must not be relied upon for isolating pressure
systems.
7. Never remove or tamper with the safety devices.
8. If the maximum pressure of the compressor is higher than the design pressure of the
connected equipment (e.g. a nitrogen generator or an oxygen generator), a full flow safety
valve must be installed between the compressor and the connected equipment, in order to
be able to blow off the excessive pressure.
