3.1.2. Indoor location<br />
WARNING<br />
Petrol and Diesel driven units must not be operated indoors!<br />
-- Ensure adequate ventilation.<br />
-- Here too, air must be free from exhaust fumes and hazardous vapours e.g. smoke, solvent vapours, etc.<br />
-- If possible install unit in such a manner that the compressor fan can get fresh air from outside, for instance through an opening<br />
in the wall.<br />
-- Ensure that an adequate exhaust air opening is provided .<br />
-- When locating the compressor in rooms of less than 30m3 (39.2 cu yd) space where natural ventilation is not ensured, measures<br />
must be taken to provide artificial ventilation.<br />
This also applies when other systems having high radiation are operating in the same room.<br />
3.2. COMPRESSOR ROOM CONDITIONS:<br />
-- The compressor room must be clean, dust--free, dry and as<br />
cool as possible.<br />
-- Avoid direct exposure to sunlight; if possible, choose north<br />
side of building.<br />
-- Additional heat producing units or line systems should not<br />
be installed in the same room or should be well isolated.<br />
-- The floor must be capable of taking the load of the system<br />
weight.<br />
-- Locate the unit level; refer to technical data for max. allowable<br />
inclination.<br />
-- Ensure adequate ventilation. Remember: room temperature<br />
= cooling air temperature ! Min. = +5 °C, max. = +45 °C.<br />
