12-33 What are the requirements for the installation foundation of an air compressor?

The installation foundation for an air compressor should be flat, hard soil, and smoothed with concrete. A concrete platform with drainage grooves is recommended. Air-cooled units require hot air ducts to exhaust heat outside, preventing indoor circulation.
Case Details

Answer: (1) The vibration generated by a screw air compressor is very small, so no foundation is required. However, the ground on which it is placed should be flat (the bottom of the unit should be filled), the underground should be hard soil, and the ground should be smoothed with concrete to avoid vibration caused by uneven ground.

(2) For the convenience of connecting pipes and maintenance, the unit should be placed on a concrete platform with a height of about 200mm, and there should be drainage grooves around it.

(3) Air-cooled air compressor units should be equipped with hot air ducts and exhaust hot air to the outside, and do not allow hot air to circulate indoors.
