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 JGW, JGR or JGJ compressor. If you have any questions please contact your
packager. If they are unable to provide resolution, they will refer your concerns to Ariel Cor-
poration. If you prefer, you may always contact Ariel directly.
This manual provides design specifications for standard current production equipment at
publication date. Do not exceed information plate ratings for a particular compressor.
The location of the throws and the data shown on the Information Plates is very important
when communicating questions concerning an Ariel compressor.
