INSTALLATION

2.1 MOUNTING OF COMPRESSOR
A foundation or mounting capable of supporting
the weight of the compressor, and rigid enough to
maintain the compressor frame level and the com-
pressor in alignment is required. The compressor
frame must be leveled and secured with foundation
bolts, and full uniform contact must be maintained
between the frame and foundation. It is recom-
mended that the frame be grouted to the founda-
tion. The compressor unit and driver must be
aligned after installation as specified in the Opera-
tor’s Manual. No piping loads shall be transmitted
to the compressor or the cooling package at the ex-
ternal connections.
2.2 VENTILATION AND COOLING
For air---cooled compressors, select a location to
permit sufficient unobstructed air to flow in and out
of the compressor cooling package to keep the op-
erating temperature stable. The minimum distance
that the compressor should be from surrounding
walls is three (3) feet (914mm). To prevent exces-
sive ambient temperature rise, it is imperative to
provide adequate ventilation.
F or water---cooled compressors, it is necessary to
check the cooling water supply. The water system
must be capable of supplying the following flows:
M O D E L --- H P / K W
WATER FLOW (GPM)
TS---32 200HP/150KW 45
54
TS---32 300HP/225KW 65
TS---32 400HP/300KW 87
TS---32 500HP/375KW 106
TS---32 600HP/450KW 129
TS---32 250HP/187KW
NOTE
Water flow requirements are based on 80_Fto
85_F(27_Cto29_C) water inlet temperature.
Recommended water pressure range is 40 to 75
PSIG (2.8 to 5.2 bar).
Water flow rates will vary with operating condi-
tions. For rates based on criteria other than that
listed, consult your local Sullair representative.
The table below indic ates the ventilation requir e-
ments necessary to keep the compressor running
at a normal operating temperature. The fan air re-
quirement is the volume of air which must flow
through the compressor and/or cooling package
for proper ventilation. The specified heat rejection
requirement is the amount of heat that is radiated
by the compressor. This heat must be removed to
assure a normal operating temperature. With air---
cooled compressors it is possible to use this heat
for space heating, providing excessive pressure
drop is not created across the fan. Consult a Sullair
office for assistance in utilizing this heat.
DO NOT install a water---cooled or an air---cooled/
aftercooled compressor without adequate freeze
protection where it will be exposed to temperature
less than 32_F(0_C).
2.3 SERVICE AIR PIPING
Service air piping should be installed as shown in
F i g u r e 2 --- 1 . A s h u t --- o f f v a l v e s h o u l d b e i n s t a l l e d t o
isolate a compressor from the service line if re-
quired. Also notice that the service line should be
equipped with water legs and condensate drains
throughout the system.
2.4 COUPLING ALIGNMENT CHECK
In preparation for the factory test, the coupling sup-
plied with your compressor is properly aligned for
operation. However, due to shipping and handling,
it is necessary to recheck the coupling alignment.
Refer to Coupling Alignment procedure explained
in the Maintenance section of this manual.
2.5 FLUID LEVEL CHECK
Your air compressor is also supplied with the
proper amount of fluid. However, it is necessary to
check the fluid level at installation. The level is
checked by looking at the sight glass located on
the sump. If the sump is properly filled, the coolant
level should fill 1/2 of the sight glass when the com-
pressor is shutdown.
