As previously discussed in Sect'on I, the only air ouality requirements for the supply system or air operated components are clean, dry air. The acceptance criteria established in the sampling procedure wll satisfy these air reou'ments. It is anticipated tha 'when the results of the initial a'amp e are rece'ved,. =he accep"ance c".'r" will be a met.

Ins'um .".: a'" comoressor des'gn and pe" ormance were rev'ed. Tne or'ginal system design reouired the capacitv of each comoresso. to.be 80 SC.=.'l at I00 PSIG. Compressor capacity tests per ormed n Dec mbe 1988 showed t..at bo-h:nstru.=ent z = coc:pressors were operat'ng at considerably less than th.s capac. y. A deta'led analysis pe =o~ed by LPcL determined tha- the plan- a'r de-and was approxi=ately 280 SC~.

The operation of the fter/drver assemblies was also reviewed. ach as sem'olv rated a 360 SCW. anile in ope ration, each ' -e "/drve-assemoly recuir s approxi-a e'y 60 SC:... cont nuous: ow for regeneration.
