3 Installing the Air Compressor

1. Install the air compressor inside a room with adequate space, ventilation and relatively low humidity.
2. Keep the operating room temperature between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C).
3. Install the air compressor with the recommended spacing shown in the figure below for ease of
maintenance and temperature control.
・The air compressor is designed to intake air from the left side of the package and exhaust the air out
of the top of the package. Provide suction and exhaust openings as shown in the figure below to
properly ventilate the room. If the suction and exhaust openings cannot be provided, do not modify
the air compressor without consulting the local Sullair distributor.
4. The allotted space located to the right and to the rear of the air compressor must be maintained
to perform maintenance. Ensure that this space is maintained if the air compressor is going to be
permanently installed. (#)
Ventilating fan
● If the temperature exceeds 104°F (40°C) in
the room, install a ventilating fan to keep
the room temperature below 104°F (40°C).
● Select a ventilating fan with enough
capacity to handle the air flow of the room.
Intake Opening
● The intake opening should be installed as
low as possible. The area of the opening
should be calculated as 1,550 sq in.(1m
per compressor.
● Conditions of the ambient air, including
dust and toxic substances, should be
considered when selecting the location
for the intake air opening.

● Do not directly connect the duct with the
air compressor. The ducting hood should
maintain a distance (indicated as "h")
between the air compressor and the duct
that is larger than the diameter of the duct.

● Absence of intake space causes
the suction resistance to increase,

Maintenance Space for
Right ＆ Rear Sides
● If a space of more than 12 in
(305 mm) for the right side and
20 in (508 mm) for the rear
cannot be secured, utilize a piping
connection that can be easily
removed for maintenance.
Front Maintenance Space
● Secure the proper amount of
space to open the front door of
the air compressor for inspection.
