Refer to the safety procedures before
installation of the compressor unit.
WARNING
z
Lethal voltages are used in this
equipment.Use extreme caution when
carrying out electrical checks. Isolate the
power supply before starting any
maintenance work.
INSTALLATION
1.
GENERAL
Standard V-Compact compressors are supplied with
the following equipment:
Intercooler, air- or water-cooled (two-stage
units only).
Instrument panel carrying:
1st and 2nd stage air pressure gauges.
Two air temperature switching
thermometers.
Oil pressure gauge.
Interstage air pressure relief valve (2-stage
models only).
Delivery manifold/pulsation vessel.
Air governor.
Safety devices.
Low oil pressure.
On low pressure (single stage) models the
instrument panel carries only two gauges showing
delivery air pressure and oil pressure respectively
and the safety switch gives protection against low
oil pressure and high air temperature.
The following optional equipment is available:
Flange mounted electric motor.
Diesel engine.
Steam turbine.
Starter.
Aftercooler (air- or water-cooled).
Baseplate (with or without anti-vibration
mountings) and Vee-belt drive.
Control panel.
Acoustic enclosure.
Air receiver.
Refrigerant air dryer.
Air filter.
Non-return valve (desirable in multiple
installations).

GUIDELINES
Before despatch from the factory all compressors
are inhibited against the effects of moisture. If all
blanking covers and protective tapes remain secure
and undamaged the effective life of this process is
12 months from the date shown on the test card
with the machine.
In the case of oil-free compressors, one delivery
valve is removed from each cylinder head and a
desiccant bag put in its place. The loose valves are
wrapped and placed inside the distance pieces for
shipping.
It is unnecessary under normal conditions to
construct a special foundation for the compressor.
The usual standards and limits of building design
are adequate to allow the compressor to be placed
directly on the floor, but the floor must have a
loading capacity sufficient to support the weight
(see 'Leading Particulars').
The anti-vibration mountings MUST NOT be removed
and solid mountings substituted, as this will place
undue stress on the compressor.
Air and water pipework should preferably be
fabricated in galvanised steel to prevent corrosion.
