Section III - Installation
Location
Locate the compressor on a level surface
in a clean, well-lit and well-ventilated
area. Allow sufficient space (four feet
of clearance on all sides and top of
the compressor) for safe and proper
daily inspection and maintenance. The
entire length of the frame base must be
supported. Shim where necessary but do
not use wood.
Ambient temperature should not exceed
0°F. High ambient temperatures may
result in a high air temperature shutdown.
All models are intended for indoor
installation; however, it is possible, with
certain modifications, to accommodate
some outdoor locations. Cabinet models
are water-resistant but not water tight.
Sheltering from rain, snow and freezing
temperatures is mandatory.
Warning!
Do not operate in temperatures below
32°F or above the limits outlined in
Appendix B - Technical Data.
Do not locate the unit where the hot
exhaust air from other compressors or heat
generating equipment may be
drawn into the unit. Never restrict the
flow of exhaust air from the fluid cooler
or cooling fan. Heated exhaust air
must be exhausted outside to prevent
high temperature conditions in the
compressor room. If the room is not
properly ventilated, compressor operating
temperatures will increase and cause a
high temperature shutdown.
Caution!
Clean, fresh air, of sufficient quantity,
is required for proper compressor
operation.
Clean air is essential for your Quincy
QGV compressor. Always select a source
providing the cleanest air possible. When
an outside air source is used, keep all
piping as short and direct as possible. Use
vibration isolators and support all piping
correctly. Piping size should be at least
as large as the inlet valve opening and
increased several sizes for extremely long
piping runs. The piping must be leak free
and clean after fabrication.
In high humidity areas, avoid placing
the compressor in a basement or other
damp locations. Control the compressor
temperatures and monitor compressor fluid
for signs of water contamination. Fluid and
filter changes may need to be increased in
high humidity areas. Increased operating
temperatures may be required.
Caution!
Removal or modification of sound
insulation could result in dangerously
high sound levels.
Quincy QGV compressors are essentially
vibration free, however, some customers
may choose to bolt the unit to the floor
to prevent the accidental breakage of
piping or electrical connections as a result
of being bumped. Use only lag bolts to
secure the unit. Do not pull the bolts
down tight. Overtightening the lag bolts
may place the frame in a twist or bind
causing breakage of fluid coolers, piping
and reservoirs.
Warning!
Under no circumstances should a
compressor be installed in an area
exposed to a toxic, volatile or corrosive
atmosphere, nor should toxic, volatile
or corrosive agents be stored near the
compressor.
