BOGE Operating instructions for S 40-2...S 341 / SF 40-2...SF 220 series screw compressors
WARNING!
Failure to adhere to these recommendations can result in mechanical failure,
property damange and serious injury or death.
All air and water inlet, and air and water discharge pipework to and from the
inlet and discharge port connections must take into account vibration, pul-
sations, temperature, maximum pressure applied, corrosion and chemical
resistance. In addition, it should be noted that lubricated compressors will
discharge some oil into the air stream; therefore, compatibilty between dis-
charge piping, system accessories and software must be assured.
For the foregoing reasons, the use of plastic piping, and soldered copper
fittings as discharge piping is not recommended. In addition, flexible joints
and/or flex lines can only be considered for such purposes if their specifi-
cations fit the operating parameters of the system.
It is the responsibility of the installer and owner to provide the appropriate
service pipework to and from the machine.
WARNING!
Statement concerning the inadvertent breathing of compressed air
exhaust.
The purchaser/user shall ensure that adequate ventilation and make up air
are provided if a non-BAP designated compressor supplies air in a confined
area to air consuming devices such as air motors, air tools, solenoids, air
cylinders, air guns, nozzles, etc. The compressed air discharge stream may
contain residual coolants/lubricants/carbon monoxide and condensable
hydrocarbons or other materials which may be hazardous to health with pro-
longed inhalation.
