ATEX/ Machinery Directive Notifications:
Maximum Surface Temperature: It is the end user’s responsibility to ensure the compressor does not exceed the
temperature limits. Closed inlet or outlet valves can result in excess compressor surface temperature
conditions.
Intended Use: Blackmer compressors are intended for use in liquefied gas transfer or gas compression
applications. The compressor must be operated in systems, with gasses and at conditions for which it is
specifically designed and sized.
Possible Misuse Warning: The compressor must only be installed in systems designed for its intended use.
Mechanical Ignition Sources: Guards, intended to protect from personal injury from rotating components, must be
fabricated from ATEX compliant materials to prevent a potential ignition source. The compressor and its
drive system must be properly grounded to prevent electrostatic discharge. The compressor has internal
parts that rub together. These parts require proper viscosity lubricant to lubricate the rubbing surfaces.
Compressor must be properly maintained and lubricated, see IOM (Installation, Operation, & Maintenance
Instructions) for service information.
Sound Measurements: Sound Levels for gas compression equipment vary greatly, depending on operating
conditions, piping system design, foundation design, etc. You can expect the following sound levels when
operating a Blackmer compressor at its’ maximum rated speed and discharge pressure. Sound levels are
measured at 1 meter from the compressor and 1.6 meters from the foundation per European Machinery
Directive 98/37/EC. Maximum Noise Level: 85 dba
Equipment Marking: All compressor models are classified Group II category 2, Gas and have a temperature limit
of 176 °C. Compressors are marked “Ex II 2 G 176 °C MAX ”
Compressor Models Covered: LB, HD
