Comprag F Series - Compressed Airline Connection

20 Version 1.4
Ensure that the oor of the facility can withstand the weight of the compressor. Install the
compressor on a level surface that is able to bear its weight. Adjust the horizontal axis of the
compressor using a levelling instrument. If the compressor is not anchored to the base on
which it is installed, the tilt angle with respect to the horizontal surface must not exceed 3°.
If the compressor is anchored to the base on which it is installed, the tilt angle with respect
to the horizontal surface must not exceed 7°. Install the compressor in a facility where pre-
cipitation cannot reach. Choose a facility for installing the compressor with a minimum level
of dust. Install the compressor at least 1.5 m from walls.
If multiple compressors are installed, there should be a 1.5 m minimum distance between
each compressor. There should be a 4 m safety distance from the area of the operated equip-
ment connected to the compressor. The facility in which the compressor is installed must be
tted with a combined extract-and-input ventilation system.
The facility where the compressor is installed should be provided
with air inow equivalent to twice the compressor’s capacity.
The volume of extraction ventilation must not exceed 40% of the air inow capacity of the
input ventilation in a facility where the compressor is installed and tted with an extract-and-
input ventilation system. The compressor should not be installed in a facility where the tempera-
ture may drop below +5°С. In order to extract hot air owing out the compressor, an air duct
may be used that is up to 3 m in length and with a cross section 20% larger than that of the
air-outow orice from the compressor’s radiator. If an air duct longer than 3 m is used, ad-
ditional duct fans should be used.
3.4 Connection to the compressed airline
Provide the throughput capacity of the compressed-air line in accordance with the perfor-
mance of the compressor. In order to avoid damage associated with seal failure of the com-
pressed-air line, the compressor should be connected via a exible hose. All components
of the compressed-air line must have a working pressure no less than the compressor’s
nominal pressure. Use a pressure vessel with a capacity corresponding to the compressor’s
performance and the compressed air consumer.
