The Installation Work Schedule
Before beginning the actual compressor installation process, the installer should review this Installation
Work Schedule for an overview of the various considerations and procedures involved. Each aspect of
the installation listed in this schedule is fully described in subsequent text and/or Section Two, Compressor
Specifications.
Before delivery, review all technical documents provided, including the Installation Manual and all
relevant specifications and drawings supplied separately.
1. Select a well-suited location in accordance with the minimum recommended space requirements
for the compressor and future maintenance.
2. Review the list of parts, supplies, tools, and labor that the owner must supply at installation, and
arrange for them all to be readily available on site.
3. Be sure that all required preparations and provisions have been made with regard to the foundation,
piping, and electrical connections, or (if necessary) arrange for suitable storage for the compressor
until the time of installation.
4. At least two weeks before the projected initial startup date, contact a Cooper Turbocompressor
representative to schedule startup assistance.
5. Upon its arrival, inspect the compressor and check loose-shipped equipment against the packing
list; if any damage or shortage is noted, immediately report it to the carrier.
6. Set the compressor on the foundation or (if required) put it into storage until the installation may
be completed.
7. After it is in place, secure the compressor on the foundation bolts.
8. Install the external air piping. *
9. Fabricate a manifold to connect the intercoolers and the oil cooler. *
10. Install all piping between the compressor and the main coolant lines.
11. Fabricate the condensate drain pipes and control devices. *
12. Connect the instrument air line to the reservoir vent ejector system.
13. Make all electrical connections.
14. Check the site a final time for conformance to all applicable codes, all relevant recommendations,
and for overall cleanliness and tidiness.
* Certain packaging options involving various piping configurations are available through Cooper
Turbocompressor. When included from the factory, considerable savings can be realized at
installation. Details of these options are included later in this manual.
