Installation
6-5
CAUTION
Failure to follow these installation guidelines could result in voiding the warranty.
6.5.1 Prepare the compressor package location
Confirm that the physical space containing the compressor package has an ambient
temperature in the range 45 to 100F (7 to 38C).
Place the compressor package in a level position. For the compressor package to
operate under optimal conditions, it must be oriented within 5 of being level.
WARNING
The compressor package must be positioned to provide easy access to the front-
panel mounted circuit breaker.
Position the compressor package so there is sufficient space around it for changing
the adsorber. If the compressor package cannot be moved easily to an open area,
leave approximately 2 additional feet (0.6 m) clearance above and to the left and
right of it.
6.5.2 Connect the water lines to the compressor
CAUTION
Cooling water must meet the requirements in Section 5. If water that does not meet
the cooling water specifications in Section 5 is introduced into the system, even for
cleaning purposes, it will void the warranty.
CAUTION
Do not apply heat to the cooling water inlet and outlet connectors located on the front
panel of the compressor.
1) Make sure that the cooling water supply is turned OFF.
o Apply Teflon tape or pipe sealant to the threads on the male pipe thread (MPT)
fittings that you provide to connect to the compressor’s cooling water inlet
connection and the cooling water outlet connection. The compressors require 3/8
MPT (3/8” Male National Pipe Thread) fittings.
2) Attach the fittings to the compressor’s cooling water inlet and outlet connections.
Turning the fitting clockwise, first hand-tighten the connection. Use a wrench to keep
the compressor’s cooling water connections from turning, and use another wrench to
tighten fittings until snug.
3) Attach the supply water line to the Cooling Water IN fitting and the return water line to
the Cooling Water OUT fitting.
4) Turn the cooling water supply ON and check for leaks.
