SECTION 1 - DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS & DATA
General
Ariel compressors are designed for ease of operation and maintenance. Experience has
shown that an Ariel compressor will normally provide years of satisfactory performance with
minimal maintenance.
While Ariel compressors share many similarities, each model has aspects that are unique to
the particular type. If you as an operator are familiar with Ariel compressors, it is still impor-
tant to review this manual to determine the differences. If you are new to Ariel compressors
it is critical that you become very familiar with this manual prior to operating the compressor.
This manual is designed to provide information on installation, start up, operation and main-
tenance of a JGI, JGM, JGN, JGP or JGQ compressor. If you have any questions please
contact your Packager. If they are unable to provide resolution, they will refer your concerns
to Ariel Corporation. If you prefer, you may always contact Ariel directly. Contact your Pack-
ager or the Ariel Response Center for detailed information. Refer to the last page of this
manual for contact information.
This manual provides design specifications for standard current production equipment at
publication date. Do not exceed data plates ratings for a particular compressor.
The location of the throws and the information shown on the Data Plates is very important
when communicating questions concerning an Ariel compressor.
