The screw compressor is to be set up
in such a way that no air reflection can
take place, i.e. neither waste air nor
exhaust emissions may be drawn in;
the same applies to dangerous
admixtures to the air. Drawing this
waste air in could lead to overheating
and a loss of power.
The compressor must be set up in as
horizontal a position as possible.
Maximum permissible inclination during
operation:
* In direction of pull: 15 degrees
* Backwards: 15 degrees
*
To the right and to the left: 15 degrees
Fig. 16
Greater inclinations endanger the
operating reliability of the screw
compressor.
When setting up the unit on ground that
is not horizontal, or with a variable angle
(see operating instructions) please consult
GARDNER DENVER.
Set up the machine in such a way that
no inlets, outlets or gates are blocked,
even when the doors are open. Prior to
uncoupling from the tow vehicle actuate
the handbrake, detach the contact-breaker
cable and the lighting cable, and secure
the compressor against rolling using
chocks. Then adjust to the horizontal
position by means of a support or support
wheel.
No force may be exerted on the dis-
charge valves, for example by pulling
the hoses or fitting additional
equipment (e.g. a water separator,
compressed air oiler, etc.) directly at
the discharge valve.
Temperatures/air humidity
Install the compressor in a location with
maximum possible frost protection. The
suction air temperature must be within the
range specified on the data
An oil-temperature regulator (option) is
necessary for operation of the system
at high temperatures (+40° C and
above) and/or high rel. air humidity
(greater than 90 %) or at temperatures
below 0°C. For operation involving
long periods of idling and/or low partial
loads an oil temperature regulator is
also required.
Altitude
For operation at an altitude above
1,000 m, the compressor and engine must
be adapted (modified design).
Note
Particularly in case of installation out of
doors and at night, observe fuel tempera-
ture. At temperatures below 0 °C, summer
diesel fuel tends to precipitate and block
the fuel filter. In this case use winter diesel
fuel.
In dusty environments, set up the machine
in such a way that the wind does not blow
the dust in the direction of the machine.
During operation in clean environments,
the intervals for cleaning the air intake
filter and the cooler elements are much
longer.
