M-series Reciprocating Compressor

All servicing procedures are to be performed and all energy is to be locked out and/or blocked before entry is allowed into a non-permit confined space area. If any ventilation is present, it will be locked in the“on”position as long as entrant remains in the tank. A“buddy system”may still apply (if deemed appropriate and given the circumstances) whereby one employee remains on the outside to assist the employee on the inside of the tank. A non-permit checklist will be utilized by all employees entering a confined space that does not require a formal permit and air monitoring will be performed prior to and during entry. If conditions of the confined space changes, the entrant will be instructed and so trained to immediately evacuate the confined space. Employees must be trained on proper usage of air monitoring equipment prior to being authorized to take readings. All confined spaces are to be considered PERMIT REQUIRED CONFINED SPACES unless declassified. At no time should a confined space be considered a NON- PERMIT CONFINED SPACE without being declassified. Air monitoring must still be performed, and the non-permit checklist completed any time a NON-PERMIT CONFINED space is entered. Cutting or welding inside a tank or silo affects the atmosphere inside and therefore voids the non-permit reclassification. Welding stainless steel inside a tank or silo can lead to exposure to hexavalent chromium fumes. You must have adequate supplied air ventilation inside the tank or silo when welding. Cutting and welding work may not be done inside a tank or silo without obtaining the proper“HotWork”permit.

KNOWN FOR RELIABILITY

Minimizes internal heating of the intake gas New valve structure with improved durability and extended overhaul intervals of up to 16,000 hours based on RPM Great for high pressure applications and a wide range of operating conditions Easy replacement of consumable components Multiple configurations available for drive type and refrigerant compatibility

A PERMIT REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE may be reclassified as NON-PERMIT REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE only once the potential hazards have been eliminated and are not present after several tests and entries have been performed. A NON-PERMIT REQUIRED CONFINED SPACE CHECKLIST will be required in order to ensure that the potential hazards are not present. Additionally, air monitoring will be required prior to entry and throughout the entry despite the reclassification as Non- Permit Required in order tomonitor for changing conditions.
