Air compressor spacing
Thread Content
Dear experts: When installing an air compressor, what should be the distance between the compressor and the wall?
At least over one meter is required to meet the standards.
Each type of air compressor has its own requirements regarding the installation distance. If there is no relevant manual available, one can consult the supplier of the air compressor for such information. When no data is at hand, it is necessary to take into account the space needed for maintaining the air compressor when determining the distances between different compressors as well as between them and the walls, to ensure that there is sufficient space for maintenance purposes
As long as the clear distance ensures sufficient maintenance space, that’s sufficient
The Design Code for Compressed Air Stations GB50029-2003 specifies the clearance between the air compressor unit and the wall: compressor discharge volume Q
At least, the space requirements of the air compressor itself should be met
Actually, the spacing is mainly determined with regard to maintenance and ventilation; there are no fixed regulations regarding this. When I worked at Atlas, it seemed that the required spacing was 1 meter, but in many cases the installation space available in companies is very limited, and the spacing is adjusted merely to meet the maintenance requirements. qq1085827423
For a single-row arrangement, the compressor discharge volume is 1.5 m when it is less than 40, and 2 m when it is 40 or more; for a double-row arrangement, it is 1.5 m when it is 10 or less, and 2 m when it is 10 or more
1.5 meters is fine; of course, the wider, the better. 1# 05331429
