Did you know that the condition of the compressor room and other supporting machines is very important to ensure optimal engine performance? Improper installation space and process can cause premature damage to your compressor parts or certain parts. For that the compressor installation process and planning must be done as well as possible.
- The compressor room has a proper ventilation system
- Dust prevention
- Make sure there is empty space around the compressor
- Sufficient distance between the top of the compressor and the roof of the room
- Consider the lifting capabilities of the machine
- Installation is carried out in a compressor room with easy and safe access
- The floor around the compressor must be clean
1. Proper ventilation
When the compressor is running and with some compressors having a high workload, you can be sure that hot air is generated. This hot air can cause overheating in the compressor room. That’s why ventilation / ducting and placement are important.
In order for the heat to be maximized, it is necessary to ensure the combination of the ducting on one compressor engine and the proportional fan out ventilation placement.\
2. Filtration from Dust
How important is the quality of compressed air you need? To keep these components at the best quality, it is mandatory to keep the compressor room clean. If still needed then install additional filters. We do not recommend delaying servicing your compressor. Another thing not to do is to reuse filters that you have cleaned yourself.
In industries with high dust levels such as cement, ceramics and mining, we highly recommend adding a water filter system. An unsuitable filter system can shorten the life of your engine and can also affect the ability of the main motor to dissipate heat due to the water filter being too dusty. The recommended addition of a pre-installation filter is 3-4 times larger than the intake air.
3. Free Space Around the Compressor
The need for free space around the compressor is to ensure that the service and repair process runs smoothly. The existence of free space is also part of technician job security.
4. Pay attention to the height of the compressor room
The height of the compressor room should not be too close to the roof of the compressor, this is to ensure that hot air can be channeled properly. The height of the compressor room also affects the ducting installation and the safety of the technician team in carrying out servicing.
5. Compressor maintenance and removal tools
Often in the process of servicing and checking the compressor it takes a fixing of the tool or heavy part of the compressor, for this, make sure your compressor room has adequate support tools to continue servicing.
6. The Compressor Room is Easy to Access and Safe
Ensure that your compressor installation room has safe access. Check whether the installation of cables and pipes is done correctly and neatly to avoid work accidents. In addition, make sure you also don’t accumulate material or other materials that are not related to your compressor in the compressor room.
7. The floor of the compressor room must be clean
Daily routine cleaning should always be done in the compressor room. Make sure there are no water or oil spills around the compressor to maintain a safe working environment. Due to the discharge of condensate water from the existing compressors, we recommend that the sewer pipes be connected per individual compressor. This is to ensure that each compressor performs normal water discharge and to make it easier to monitor at all times.
