Air Compressor Room Design: Optimal Working Conditions

When it comes to ventilation air, it should be drawn directly from outdoors, preferably without using long ducting. Additionally, the intake should be positioned as low as possible but high enough to avoid the risk of snow covering it during winter. Take precautions to prevent dust, explosive substances, and corrosive substances from entering the compressor room.

The ventilation fan(s) should be placed high up on one of the compressor room's end walls, with the air intake on the opposite wall. Ensure that the air velocity at the ventilation inlet opening does not exceed 4 m/s. Thermostat-controlled fans are the most appropriate in this case. These fans must be dimensioned to handle the pressure drop in the ducting, outer wall louver, etc.

The quantity of ventilation air must be sufficient to limit the temperature increase in the room to 7&#;10°C. The possibility of using water-cooled compressors should be considered if getting sufficient ventilation in the room is an issue.

I have a small attached garage, 20x22 ft. Since space is at a premium, and because I didn't want to hear it run, I put my 60 gallon compressor in the boiler room in my basement, which is on the completely opposite side of the house from the garage. I ran 3/4" copper pipe right through my finished basement, parallel to the 3/4" conduit I ran to power the compressor. The pipe branches out when it gets to the garage and I have a service drop on the back wall, and another to a hose reel right next to the door.

Wherever you decide to install it, i suggest you do NOT shove it into a corner, or build a tiny shed for it. Be sure to leave enough space around it so you can actually service it if you need to. That's the most common mistake I see people make with their installations.
