Installation of Compressor Rooms
In addition to design, we undertake installation projects with construction partners. In this cooperative work phase, our team of experts do the implementation with the same precision and attention to detail, focusing all technical standards.
Things to Consider During the Installation of Compressors. The Dos and the Don’ts
Place to be. Compressor shall be sited horizontally on a concrete base what’s safe hold on its weight. For containerised deployment the same protocol applied.
Keeping your cool (and purity). Our heat protection device is your personal assistant in the compressor room’s temperature control.
Beyond a good airflow in the room, temperature of cooling air is also vital to production and should be kept on a defined value (between 0 and + 35 degrees Celsius).
While these conditions significantly extend the life of machines; a dusty, oil-contaminated and humid operating environment can have a detrimental impact on compressor longevity.
Don’t let it wreck your machinery.
When introducing a system, a pre-filter should be installed to prevent contamination and provide proper cooling air.
Don’t overlook the space. In a facility, the relationship between machinery position (compressor, dryers, filters and drains) and their lifespan are integral, as the layout affects equipment reliability and longevity, and eventually the productivity and efficiency of business.
Enough space should be left for ventilation, maintenance and operating around compressors and auxiliary equipment, and also between machines and the walls. When installing an air tank, it also must be care to keep enough clearance distance around it, specified in the standards, approximately 75-150 cm in practice.
Pay attention to airflow. During the improvement of an existing system, ducting the hot air can often end up troubles. If there isn’t enough space to build an extraction duct the implementation should be more time-consuming than planned before. It just make sense that air intake louver and exhaust louver should be not installed on the same wall, if the output air is discharged from above the compressor. This way hot air will not being drawn back into your system, escalating the machine overheating issues.
Professional Installation – How to Running Your System Smoothly
Discover the main layout.
The construction of compressed air system starts with making up of machines and tanks. If the electrical and automation systems are installed, followed by the installation of condensate system, then a ventilation systems for air-cooled compressors and a water cooling circuit for water-cooled compressors.
Make special care to parameterisation of the feeder cables.
Temperature, distance of machines, choice of materials (aluminium vs. copper) are all crucial for the efficiency. Only cables that are suitable for compressor housings consider to use, as safe operation is the clients’ own interest. There is no room for an electric cable burning just in a few months.
Proximity that linking.
Based on our practice, fuses – circuit breakers or fusible plugs – and switches are always fitted in close proximity to the compressor.
It’s ever more warranted for the interruption power supply of main load switch disconnector.
When designing and installing compressor rooms, we choose products from leading manufacturers.
We believe that only the best guarantees a reliable quality.
