Section III - Installation
Quincy Compressor
®
- QSD™ 17
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.
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.
Removal or modification of sound insulation
could result in high sound levels which may be
hazardous to personnel.
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. .
Removal or defacing of safety labels will result in
uninformed conditions, which could result in
personal injury or property damage.
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.
