01Look beyond installed power
Compressor motor ratings do not reveal the spare flow available at the proposed connection. Review logged station output, pressure and the largest simultaneous production demand. Include dryer regeneration and existing leakage in the air balance.
02Measure at the intended branch
Pressure and quality at a distant receiver can differ from conditions at the generator inlet. Record local pressure during load changes and verify the required contamination and moisture limits. A shared header should not be assumed suitable merely because other pneumatic equipment runs on it.
03Define priority and fallback
Discuss what happens when both the factory and generator demand peak, or when a compressor is unavailable. Agree operating priorities, alarms and any necessary separation or added capacity. Keep the nitrogen package's inlet requirements in the shared air-station operating documents.
