The choice of installation location of the air compressor is very important, which is directly related to the operation efficiency, maintenance cost and service life of the air compressor. Here are some of the requirements for the air compressor installation location:
1.Site selection: Choose a cool, clean, and well-ventilated place with an ambient temperature between 0-40°C。 At the same time, the computer room should be left room for expansion, and avoid places that emit explosive, corrosive, toxic gases, dust and other harmful substances.
2.Ground requirements: The ground should be flat and have sufficient load-bearing capacity. For the installation of a new air compressor, a base is usually required in order to clean the floor. Large piston machines and centrifuges may require a concrete slab foundation.
3.Ventilation and Air Quality: Data centers should have good natural ventilation to maintain the temperature within the appropriate range and ensure good air quality, free of harmful gases and corrosive substances. Air intake should be equipped with a primary filtration device.
4.Power Requirements: The main power supply for the air compressor is AC (380V/50Hz) three-phase, and for the refrigerated dryer it is AC (220V/50HZ). Please confirm the power supply. The voltage drop should not exceed 5% of the rated voltage, and the voltage difference between each phase should be within 3%.
5.Safety Protection: The air compressor room should be equipped with fixed fire extinguishing equipment using carbon dioxide, and its manual switch must be set outside the hazardous area and within reach at all times.
6.Pipe Installation: The air supply outlet of the unit is equipped with a threaded adapter, which can be connected to the air supply pipeline. To avoid affecting the operation of the entire station or other units during maintenance, a check valve must be installed between the unit and the air storage tank.
7.Environmental Humidity: There is little dust in the server room, the air is clean, and it does not contain harmful gases or corrosive media such as sulfurous acid. The effective area of the windows should be greater than 3 square meters.
8.Electrical Safety: The compressor power supply must use a circuit breaker to prevent short circuits and ensure balanced operation. Grounding is necessary to prevent electrical leakage and potential hazards.
9.Space Requirements: The air compressor should maintain a certain distance from surrounding walls or other equipment to facilitate the inspection and maintenance of the air compressor.
10.Drainage facilities: Compressed air equipment should have floor drains or other facilities to treat condensate from compressors, aftercoolers, air tanks, dryers.
Following these specifications and requirements can ensure the stable operation of the air compressor, and also provide convenience for later maintenance and maintenance.
