<strong>The</strong> <strong>Turbo</strong> Air <strong>3000</strong> <strong>Centrifugal</strong> <strong>Compressor</strong> Operator’s Manual<br />
Daily Inspection<br />
A daily inspection takes only a short time, but it will allow the operator to develop a definite sense of<br />
the appearance, sounds, and other operating conditions of a smoothly performing compressor. Any<br />
changes can be investigated and be given attention before major problems develop. Table 5 – 1 lists<br />
the items that should be monitored daily (or with a shift change).<br />
