Installation 3.2 Compressor room
Page 26 BOGE Operating instructions for C 16 N...C 30 N, C 16 F N...C 30 F N series screw compressors
Requirements of fire protected compressor rooms:
– Walls, ceilings, floor and doors must be designed in fire protection class
F30 or higher.
– Flammable liquids must never be stored in the compressor room.
– The floor around the compressor must be made of non-flammable mate-
rial.
– Leaking oil must not spread out over the floor.
– No inflammable materials must be located within a radius of at least
118 inches around the compressor.
– No inflammable machine parts, such as cable ducts, may run overhead of
the compressor.
Sound protection
Only install compressors in workrooms if the sound pressure level of
their measuring surfaces does not exceed 85 dB (A).
Admissible
environmental
influences
The compressor room must be clean, dry, cool and free of dust.
Admissible environmental influences
Maximum ambient temperature (for air cooling): + 113°F
Minimum ambient temperature: + 41°F
Ventilation
If the following instructions are not observed, the permissible final com-
pression temperature may be exceeded.
In this case, the compressor will switch off automatically.
WARNING!
Non-observance of the permissible ambient temperature may lead to the
following problems:
– The compressor will switch off when the admissible final compression
temperature is exceeded or gone below.
– Pipe lines and valves will freeze up at low temperatures.
– Damage due to reduced lubricating ability of the compressor oil.
Measures to be taken to ensure that permissible ambient temperatures
are observed:
– Avoid any pipe lines or units radiating heat in the vicinity of the compres-
sor, or insulate them well.
– Never install the compressor in the cooling air flow of other machines.
– Provide the supply air openings with adjustable louvres to ensure that the
minimum temperature is not gone below in winter.
– Use the BOGE frost protection device (series).
WARNING!
Arrange the compressor intake openings or ducts in such a way, that dan-
gerous admixtures (e.g. explosive or chemically unstable materials) cannot
be drawn in.
