The Compressor Unit must be located in a dry,
clean, cool, and well ventilated area. If possible,
the Compressor should be located in a
separate room or area, away from the general
operations of the shop.
Allow room for easy access to the Unit for
maintenance purposes, as well as to ensure a
maximum cooling effect caused by the
Flywheel. To ensure that the Unit is cooling
properly, allow a minimum of 18” (0.5 m)
between the Beltguard and any adjacent wall,
etc. as shown below.
Ensure that the floor under the Unit is smooth
and level. The Compressor must sit squarely on
all four Feet.
Devair has available Installation Kits which
include a) (4) Isolator Pads for use under each
Foot, and b) stainless steel Flex Hose for
installation between the Unit Tank and the shop
piping.,
If anchoring a Unit to the floor, ensure that there
is roughly a 1/4” (0.75 cm) gap between the nut
and the Compressor Foot. Do not bolt down
tightly.
A Compressor Unit releases a great deal of heat
that, when not taken from the Unit area, could
cause severe problems. It is very important that
the Unit be located in a relatively large area or,
when in an enclosed area, cool air is introduced
and the heat is taken out, this by means of
intake and exhaust fans.
The amount of heat generated by an Air
Compressor is calculated by simply multiplying
the Unit Horsepower by 2500.
Example: 15 HP Unit x 2500 = 37500 BTU/hour
The Compressor must not be
operated in a confined area where
the heat from the Unit cannot readily
escape.
NOTE
Never clamp or bolt air receiver Feet
tightly to the floor or support
structure. Doing so may greatly
increase stress on the Tank, causing
it to weaken and/or fracture.
