| When installing compressors, the following general points must be observed, regardless of ventilation:
- When installing a compressor or compressed air receiver a flat industrial floor without foundation will suffice. Special mountings are not generally needed.
- Compressors should always be located on elastic mountings. This stops vibration being transmitted to the floor, and the compressor noise being carried to other parts of the building.
- The compressor should be connected to fixed lines with a BOGE high pressure hose of approx. 0.5 m in length. This prevents vibration from the compressor being transmitted to the compressed air line and compensates inaccurate lines.
- The compressor must be fitted with paper induction filters if there is a heavy dust occurrence at the installation point. This keeps wear on the compressor to a minimum.
- Compressor units must never be covered by hoods or cladding. Measures of this type always lead to thermal problems. An exception to this is the original BOGE sound insulation hood, which is specially designed for each individual compressor.
