Warning
Pipes and/or other parts with a surface
temperature higher than 70 °C (158 °F) have
to be suitably identified and secured
against touching.
See also the safety regulations in chapter 3
of the operating instructions.
Important
The weight carrying capacity of the foundation has
to be taken into account when installing the
compressor.
Provide for a solid and plane base.
The system may not be operated on the transport
pallet.
The intakes are to be located so that no hazardous
constituent (solvent vapour, etc., but also dusts
and other hazardous material) can be sucked in.
This applies also to flying sparks.
The operator has to provide adequate ventilation
for the compressor station.
The screw compressor unit has to be levelled. A
minimum distance from walls, other machines, etc.
should be maintained so that there is sufficient
clearance for maintenance and repair work (Fig. 8).
During operation of the screw compressor unit, heat is
generated by the electric motor and the compression
process. The screw compressor radiates a part of this
heat into the surroundings.
Proper ventilation has a considerable effect on the
service life and the performance of a compressor.
Once the compressor has been installed, the wire pins
(-1- Fig. 7) can be removed from the hinge pins (-2- Fig.
7). The wire pins (-1- Fig. 7) prevent the doors from
falling off in the case of transportation from the
manufacturer's site.
