ACCEPTANCE OF INSTALLATION INCLUDES,
- Installation of the equipment with suitable utility connections.
- Equipment meets the current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements.
- Installation of the equipment compliance with Design specifications and safety considerations.
- Installation of Auxiliary equipment with suitable Utility connections.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND IDENTIFICATION:
DESCRIPTION – ASSEMBLY:
Air compressor with LP& HP Cylinders: It is responsible for handling the air concerning the receival of fresh air (after filtration), compression of first stage in LP cylinder and second stage compression in HP cylinder, cooling and distribution to the respective areas.
Air compressor Inter Cooler Section: The air is passed through intercooler section where air temperature will be reduced & moisture shall condensate .
Air compressor After Cooler Section: The air passed through a aftercooler section where air temperature will be reduced & moisture will be condensates.
Air compressor Receiver tank: It provides momentary reserve capacity, to improve regulation and to ensure a smooth flow through out the system.
Air Dryer: It removes the moisture content (water vapor) present in the air prior sending to respective areas.
Air compressor Electrical Section: The total Air compressor system is operated from electrical control panel.
Air Distribution piping, valves and filters: This is involved in the distribution of the processed filtered air to the specified areas. It also provide a mechanism of controlling the air volume as per the requirement of the areas during the normal run.
