Abstract

A method for installing a compressor includes a preparing step of preparing a base plate that supports a support leg onto a foundation, a level adjusting member disposing step of disposing a plurality of level adjusting members having a wedge shape onto the base plate along an outline of a lower end portion of the support leg, an adjusting step of adjusting a horizontal level of a rotary machine main body by adjusting pushing amounts of the level adjusting members to the lower end portion of the support leg, and a fixing step of fixing positions of the support leg and the level adjusting members with respect to the base plate by welding the support leg to the plurality of level adjusting members.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for installing a rotary machine that includes a plurality of support legs extending in a vertical direction and a rotary machine main body fixed to upper end portions of the support legs, the method comprising:
a preparing step of preparing a base plate that supports the support legs onto a foundation;
a level adjusting member disposing step of disposing a plurality of level adjusting members having a wedge shape onto the base plate;
a placing step of placing each of the support legs onto the plurality of level adjusting members;
an adjusting step of adjusting a horizontal level of the rotary machine main body by adjusting pushing amounts of the level adjusting members to each of lower end portions of the support legs; and
a fixing step of fixing positions of each of the support legs and the level adjusting members with respect to the base plate by welding each of the support legs to the plurality of level adjusting members, wherein
each of the plurality of level adjusting members on the base plate has a height in the vertical direction,
the height gradually decreases toward a tip portion of the wedge shape,
in the level adjusting member disposing step, each of the plurality of level adjusting members is disposed on the base plate such that the tip portion faces an inner side of each of the support legs when seen from an upper side in the vertical direction, and
the level adjusting members on the base plate are disposed apart from each other at intervals in a peripheral direction along each outline of lower end portions of the support legs.

2. The method for installing a rotary machine according to claim 1 , further comprising:
a liner member disposing step of disposing a flat plate-shaped liner member onto the base plate before the level adjusting member disposing step,
wherein in the level adjusting member disposing step, the plurality of level adjusting members is disposed onto the liner member fixed to the base plate, and
in the fixing step, each of the support legs and the plurality of level adjusting members are welded to the liner member.

3. The method for installing a rotary machine according to claim 2 , wherein in the preparing step, existing support legs fixed on the base plate are removed from the base plate.

4. The method for installing a rotary machine according to claim 1 , wherein in the preparing step, existing support legs fixed on the base plate are removed from the base plate.

5. A rotary machine, comprising:
a base plate installed on a foundation;
a plurality of wedge-shaped level adjusting members provided on the base plate;
a plurality of support legs which are placed on the plurality of level adjusting members and extend toward a vertical direction;
a fixing unit which is formed by each of lower end portions of the support legs and the plurality of level adjusting members being welded to each other and fixes positions of each of the support legs and the level adjusting members with respect to the base plate; and
a rotary machine main body supported by the plurality of support legs, wherein
each of the plurality of level adjusting members on the base plate has a height in the vertical direction,
the height gradually decreases toward a tip portion of the wedge shape,
each of the plurality of level adjusting members is disposed on the base plate such that the tip portion faces an inner side of each of the support legs when seen from an upper side in the vertical direction, and
the level adjusting members on the base plate are disposed apart from each other at intervals in a peripheral direction along each outline of lower end portions of the support legs.
