Ensure that the oor of the facility can withstand the weight of the compressor. Install the

compressor on a level surface that is able to bear its weight. Adjust the horizontal axis of the

compressor using a levelling instrument. If the compressor is not anchored to the base on

which it is installed, the tilt angle with respect to the horizontal surface must not exceed 3°.

If the compressor is anchored to the base on which it is installed, the tilt angle with respect

to the horizontal surface must not exceed 7°.

Install the compressor in a facility where precipitation cannot reach.Choose a facility for in-

stalling the compressor with a minimum level of dust. Install the compressor at least 1.5 m

from walls. If multiple compressors are installed, there should be a 1.5 m minimum distance

between each compressor. There should be a 4 m safety distance from the area of the op-

erated equipment connected to the compressor. The facility in which the compressor is in-

stalled must be tted with a combined extract-and-input ventilation system.

The facility where the compressor is installed should be provided

with air inow equivalent to twice the compressor’s capacity.

The volume of extraction ventilation must not exceed 40% of the air inow capacity of the

input ventilation in a facility where the compressor is installed and tted with an extract-and-

input ventilation system. The compressor should not be installed in a facility where the tempera-

ture may drop below +5°С. In order to extract hot air owing out the compressor, an air duct

may be used that is up to 3 m in length and with a cross section 20% larger than that of the

air-outow orice from the compressor’s radiator. If an air duct longer than 3 m is used, ad-

ditional duct fans should be used.

3.4 Connection to the compressed airline

Provide the throughput capacity of the compressed-air line in accordance with the perfor-

mance of the compressor. In order to avoid damage associated with seal failure of the com-

pressed-air line, the compressor should be connected via a exible hose. All components

of the compressed-air line must have a working pressure no less than the compressor’s

nominal pressure. Use a pressure vessel with a capacity corresponding to the compressor’s

performance and the compressed air consumer.
