When properly aligned, the forces on the connected equipment will be at a minimum. This
will result in long bearing life and a smooth running unit. Consult Packager’s information for
alignment requirements.
Vents and Drains
1
It is critical, for the safe operation of the compressor, to ensure that all vents and drains are
open, functional and, if necessary, tubed off of the skid or out of the building. Depending
upon your climate and insect population it can be necessary to install screens over the vents
and drains to ensure that they do not become blocked. This can be essential if the compres-
sor is shutdown for a long period of time.
Some other points are:
1. A vent should be provided to safely relieve pressure from the system.
2. Adequate vents and drains are to be provided for the distance pieces, primary
packing vents and crankcase. Primary vents and drains must be independently
vented from the secondary vents and drains. All vents and drains must be
installed in such a manner as to prevent the collection of liquids that could cause
the build up of either gas or liquid. When a heavier than air gas is involved, vent
and drain design must be accommodating.
