Fig. 10.3: Space requirement plan for a sound-insulated
screw-type compressor, model S 21 - S 30 | A compressor requires a certain amount of space, and this depends on the construction and type of compressor concerned. A compressor should therefore be installed with clearance on all sides.
- The compressor must be installed to allow easy access for operation and servicing.
- For the cooling of a compressor to be assured, there must be a certain minimum distance between the ventilator or cooler and the neighbouring wall or other systems. If this is not provided for, the effect of the ventilator or cooler is much reduced and efficient cooling is no longer guaranteed.
- When several compressors are installed adjacently the heated cooling air of one compressor must not be used as the cooling air of another.
The minimum distances to walls and neighbouring equipment and machinery can sometimes vary greatly, depending on the types and versions of the compressors. These are to be taken from the respective operating instructions. |
