Is it necessary to fill the bottom of the reciprocating compressor oil sump with grout?

Is grouting really necessary? There is some space left between our compressor oil tank and the concrete platform
No need! Space is reserved for thermal expansion.
Grouting helps to reduce vibrations
In a pool of lubricant, how large is the amount of expansion?
To determine this, it is necessary to check the equipment installation diagram; usually, the equipment manufacturer provides the design institute and the client with diagrams showing the conditions for equipment installation. The on-site supervisor and the construction party should regulate their actions based on these materials.
I think grouting is necessary; otherwise, it will be a huge hassle with the oil at the bottom
We use Hangyang reciprocating compressors here, and the bottom cofferdam is made of epoxy mortar.
Grouting is not possible. It can provide shock absorption. If all is grouted, the oil tank will be under stress, leading to unpredictable consequences.
It’s not necessary. Some space needs to be reserved! Prevent thermal expansion and contraction
