General Considerations<br />

This section includes suggestions that are designed to help answer questions or solve problems that<br />

may be encountered during operation of the <strong>Turbo</strong> Air <strong>3000</strong> <strong>Centrifugal</strong> <strong>Compressor</strong>. For troubleshooting<br />

purposes, the compressor installation is divided into four subsystems. <strong>The</strong>se, along with relevant<br />

components or conditions, are shown in Table 6—1.<br />

<strong>Compressor</strong> Installation Subsystems<br />
