4.2 Installing the compressor

4.2.1

Installation location

Install the compressor vertically. Maximum allowable
lateral tilt: 3°. For marine applications, please contact
BITZER.
ESB-130-7
For outdoor installation, take suitable measures to pro-
tect the compressor against corrosion (e.g. caused by
seawater or aggressive atmosphere) and low outside
temperatures. Lifting lugs and pipe connection points
should be coated with touch-up paint or suitable anti-
corrosion coasting after handling and installation to
minimize potential for unsightly surface rust. Consulta-
tion with BITZER is recommended.
4.2.2

Vibration dampers

To avoid noise and vibration transmission to the envir-
onment, it is recommended mounting all compressors
with damper elements.
For compound compressor units, the compressors
must be solidly mounted (without vibration damper) on
the fixing rails. Mount the vibration damper below the
fixing rails.
