Proposal
Installation proposal, GX 7 and GX 11
Action
1 Install the rubber pads (delivered loose with the compressor) to the compressor supports.
Install the compressor on a solid, level floor suitable for taking its weight.
The recommended minimum distance between the top of the unit and the ceiling is 900 mm (35.1
in).
The air receiver must not be bolted to the floor.
For tank-mounted units, the minimum distance between the wall and the back of the compressor
is 500 mm (19.5 in).
2 Position of the compressed air outlet valve.
Close the valve.
Connect the air net to the valve.
3 The pressure drop over the delivery pipe can be calculated from the following formula:
dp=(L x 450 x Qc
1.85
) / (d
5
x P)
•
dp=pressure drop (recommended maximum = 0.1 bar / 1.5 psi)
•
L=length of delivery pipe in m
•
d=inner diameter of the delivery pipe in mm
•
P=absolute pressure at the compressor outlet in bar(a)
•
Qc=free air delivery of the compressor in l/s
