FOR MODELS: JGZ AND JGU SECTION 2 - COMPRESSOR INSTALLATION<br />
CAUTION: When lifting a compressor designed for lifting lugs, use ONLY <strong>Ariel</strong> provided or<br />
approved lugs. Be sure the lugs are held In place with the proper grade of cap screws, and<br />
properly tightened. Lifting cable spreaders are required perpendicular to crankshaft axis.<br />
Be sure the crane capacity is adequate.<br />
Setting the Compressor<br />
1. Be sure the skid is level.<br />
2. Move the compressor into place on the skid.<br />
3. Level stationary compressors to Table 2-1 requirements. For compressors subject to transient<br />
motion on ships or offshore platforms, level compressors to table requirements when at rest. Be<br />
sure the pre-grout alignment is relatively close so that the equipment movement will be minimal<br />
and within the bolting, foot, push pads or grout box allowance.<br />
4. Grout as required and allow grout to set.<br />
With the compressor cylinders mounted but unsupported and with no piping or pulsation<br />
damping bottles attached, tighten the frame foot hold down bolting to skid at full fastener<br />
torque. Refer to <strong>Ariel</strong> ER-26, Appendix A in the <strong>Ariel</strong> Packager’s Standards for proper frame<br />
foot torque values.<br />
Leveling Limits for <strong>Compressors</strong><br />
The limits in Table 2-1 assume that the running oil level is maintained between one half and<br />
two-thirds the height of the sight glass, except for dry sump compressors. Length leveling<br />
limits apply axially (parallel to crankshaft) and width limits apply horizontally (parallel to the<br />
piston rod) within the length and width of the frame.<br />
