Preservation
Oil-lubricated compressors: compressor is
taken out of service for a long period (over 6

(viscosity SAE 30). See Chap. 2.6.5.
2. Allow the compressor to warm up, switch
it off, disconnect the power supply.
3. Drain the condensate, depressurise the
compressor.
4. Prior to returning to operation, replace
corrosion inhibiting oil with compressor
oil.
Store the compressor in a dust-free and dry
area where it is not exposed to high temper-
ature fluctuations.
