Surface condensers condensate pumps, service

Compressors and their related equipment are usually located in one area for conunon operation and servicing adjacent to the main pipe radk and the auxiliary road. The suaion drum for the machine should be positioned for flexibility in the piping and to accommodate orifice run requirements. If the compressor is driven by a condensing turbine, a surface condenser and condensate pumps are required. If servicing one machine, the condenser may be located beneath the turbine. If it services two or more, the condenser must be located ac acent to the machines it services. In both cases, space must be provided for condaaser tube bundle removal. 

The holding tanks should be on a weekly maintenance schedule to check for wet regions in the bermed area. These may indicate leaks, but could also be from rain or condensate formed on exterior tank surfaces. Pumps and agitator motors should be checked and serviced on the same schedule as sampling and discharge.
