Quinny 65040-AB manual Piping Connections

Section III - Installation

!CAUTION

This compressor should not be operated in temperatures below 40°F or above 110°F.

Do not locate the unit where the hot exhaust air from other compressors or heat generating equipment may be drawn into the unit. Never restrict the flow of exhaust air from the acoustic enclosure. This heated air must

be exhausted to the outside to prevent high ambient conditions in the room. If the room is not properly ventilated, the compressor operating temperatures will increase and cause a high temperature shutdown.

NOTE

Clean, fresh air in sufficient quantity is required for proper compressor operation.

Quincy QSD™ models are essentially vibration free; however, some customers may choose to bolt the unit to the floor to prevent the accidental breakage of piping or electrical connections as a result of being bumped. Use only lag bolts to secure the unit. Do not pull the bolts down tight as this may, under certain circumstances, place the frame in a twist or bind causing eventual breakage of coolers, piping, etc.

Do not remove or deface any Danger, Warning, Caution or instructional labels found on the compressor. Labels should be provided with enough light to read and be conspicuously located and maintained for legibility. .

!WARNING

Removal or defacing of safety labels will result in uninformed conditions, which could result in personal injury or property damage.

!WARNING

Never locate the compressor inlet system where it can ingest toxic, volatile or corrosive vapors, air temperatures exceeding 110°F, water or extremely dirty air. Death, serious injury or property damage could result.

!CAUTION

Removal or modification of sound insulation could result in high sound levels which may be hazardous to personnel.

Piping Connections

A drip leg with a drain valve should be mounted adjacent to the QSD™ service connection and extend below the package air connection. The drip leg should be drained daily to avoid accumulation of condensate and debris.

Never join pipes or fittings by soldering. Lead-tin solders have low strength, a low creep limit, and may, depending on the alloy, start melting at 360°F. Silver soldering and hard soldering are forms of brazing and should not be confused with lead-tin soldering. Never use plastic, PVC, ABS pipe or rubber hose in a compressed air system.
