Nitrogen compressor installation issues

2008-03-06View Original

Thread Content

Our factory’s new installation has acquired a set of nitrogen compressors; however, due to issues in the design, there was no suitable space for their installation, so they were temporarily placed in a 12-square-meter room. The nitrogen compression unit consists of 5 components: an air filter, an air compressor, an air storage tank, a nitrogen compressor cabinet, and a nitrogen storage tank. Each one is about 1.2m wide and 1.5m high. Is it safe to keep this in one room? Are there any installation regulations?

Is there any space outside the room? There should be, after all, the air tanks and nitrogen tanks should be placed outside, and that way there shouldn’t be any problems.

Let’s put the storage tanks outside; it should be enough. Our unit puts them all outside

Consideration should be given to maintenance space, ease of operation, and emergency exit routes

It should be fine to place it indoors, but one needs to consider the convenience of installation and maintenance, as well as whether it is easy to operate

I agree with what was said on the 2nd floor. As for the option on the 5th floor, it’s fine to use it indoors under normal circumstances, but what if an accident occurs? It will be difficult to handle such a situation. Moreover, with a space of 12 square meters, maintenance work will certainly not be easy at all. The relevant regulations also do not allow this; it’s too dangerous.

Check the unit layout diagram (supplied by the manufacturer); if it can be arranged according to this, then that’s fine.

The air storage tanks and nitrogen storage tanks can be placed outdoors; there should be no problem with that.

The air tanks and nitrogen tanks should be placed outdoors. Attention must also be paid to the heat dissipation of the air compressors and nitrogen compressors; inadequate heat dissipation can cause the compressor units to overheat and stop functioning. Our unit has encountered this problem before, which forced us to rebuild the compressors
