The installation of an air compressor is an important process that requires consideration of multiple factors to ensure safe, stable and efficient operation of the equipment. Here are some key installation considerations:
1.Selection of installation site: Choose a well-lit, spacious place, and ensure that the environment is dry, well-ventilated, and dust-free. Avoid installing in dusty, oily, or humid environments, and avoid inhaling corrosive gases or gases containing explosive or unstable chemical components.
2.Foundation requirements: The foundation of the air compressor should be built on hard soil and ensure that the foundation is level to avoid vibration. If installed upstairs, anti-vibration measures are required.
3.Cooling system: The cooling water quality of water-cooled air compressors should meet the standards. The cooling water pressure is generally between 0.15 and 0.4 MPa, and the outlet temperature should be kept between 6°C and 10°C higher than the inlet temperature. For air-cooled air compressors, attention should be paid to the ventilation environment to avoid shutdowns caused by high temperatures.
4.Power system: When distributing power to the air compressor, the correct power voltage should be ensured, and the correct power line diameter should be selected according to the power size of the air compressor. It is best to use a separate power system for the air compressor and avoid using it in parallel with other large power consumption systems.
5.Pipeline connection: When piping compressed air pipelines, the main pipeline should have a slope of 1° to 2° to facilitate the discharge of condensed water in the pipeline. The branch pipeline must be connected from the top of the main pipeline to prevent condensed water from flowing down to the working machinery or back to the air compressor.
6.Ambient temperature: The installation ambient temperature should be kept between 1.7°C and 40°C to avoid freezing of condensed water due to low temperature or affecting the output air volume of the air compressor due to high temperature.
7.Dust prevention measures: If the factory environment is poor and dusty, pre-filter equipment should be installed to ensure the service life of air compressor system parts.
8.Maintenance space: Reserve enough maintenance space. There should be at least 70 cm distance between the air compressor and the wall, and the air compressor should be at least one meter away from the top space.
Following these installation precautions can improve the operating efficiency of the air compressor, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the equipment.
