Natural ventilation may be sufficient where there are two or more windows and a large enough room for frequent air changes. If this is not the case then forced ventilation is necessary, ventilating fan motors can be controlled by a room thermostat located in the mechanical room. The importance of adequate cooling cannot be overemphasized. Motors which will occasionally operate at more than the nameplate rating will definitely have a shorter life if is not sufficiently cooled. Space for flywheel and crankshaft removal should be provided. See individual compressor drawings for dimensions FOUNDATIONS ‘Compressors mounted on a concrete floor should have a minimum of 8" thickness. The concrete foundation mixture should be made in accordance with good concrete practice. ‘The foundation should be isolated from the surrounding floor by leaving space on all sides of the base for the installation and isolating material such as cork board or felt. Whatever type of foundation is used, the compressor unit MUST be level. DRAINS Its important that the unit be located near a floor drain. Since a considerable amount of water must be carried away when draining units with water-cooled condensers (for repair of seasonal shut downs) a floor drain is especially important.
