Installation<br />
Water Supply and Drains<br />
If water is to be used as the coolant, whenever possible provide clean cooling water with low mineral<br />
content. This will optimize cooler performance and significantly reduce the possibility of cooler fouling<br />
during operation.<br />
Also, be sure to provide adequate open drains to carry away condensate from the intercoolers and<br />
aftercooler. Condensate from the <strong>Turbo</strong> Air <strong>3000</strong> <strong>Compressor</strong> is completely oil-free and environmentally<br />
safe.<br />
(Refer to the Utility Piping subsection for additional information and requirements for water supply<br />
and condensate drain piping.)<br />
Foundation<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Turbo</strong> Air <strong>3000</strong> <strong>Compressor</strong> can be installed directly onto the factory floor so long as the floor<br />
meets the following minimum requirements:<br />
· It must be constructed of good quality, reinforced concrete to provide a rigid and substantial<br />
base.<br />
· It must be one continuous integral slab with a minimum thickness of 4-6 in. (100-150 mm).<br />
· It must be isolated from vibrations from surrounding equipment.<br />
· Flatness must be 0.010 in. per foot (1 mm per meter).<br />
