Installing the compressor
CAUTION
The compressor is filled with a protective charge: Excess pressure 0.2 .. 0.5 bar nitrogen.
Risk of injury to skin and eyes.
Depressurise the compressor!
Wear safety goggles!
Rigid assembly on a common frame has proven advantageous ‒ however, the compressors for the oil and gas equalisation versions and the optimized suction header must be at an absolutely identical level. An advantage of this type of assembly is that the entire pipe layout between the compressors can also be rigid. However, care must be taken that the pipe sections from the compressor to the suction and pressure headers are still flexible enough by providing a suitable pipe layout and length.
Depending on the sound emission and / or structure-borne sound requirements, the overall frame can be mounted on vibrating elements.
Observe tightening torques for screwed connections according to maintenance instructions AW-100!
