Fig. 10.2: Compressor station with 2 screw-type compressors,
refrigerant air dryer, compressed air receiver and
oil/water separator. | The installation room should be clean, free of dust, dry and cool. Strong sunlight must not be allowed to enter. The room should be located on the north side of a building wherever possible, or in a well-ventilated basement.
There should be no heat-emitting pipes or assemblies in the installation room of a compressor. If this can not be avoided, the pipes and assemblies must be adequately insulated.
Easy accessibility and good lighting should be provided for servicing work and periodic inspections of the compressed air receivers.
A compressor installation room must always be properly ventilated to prevent the ambient temperature from exceeding the maximum admissible levels. |
