2 Installation
The Pharma-line can be installed either horizontally or vertically. For an easy installation, lifting lugs and mounting plates are
welded on the unit.
2.1
Clearance for dismantling
Provide sufficient clearance at the stationary head side to permit dismantling of the Front head / Rear end cover and possible
future inspection of the tubes.
2.2
Foundations
Foundations must be adequate so that the exchanger will not settle and impose excessive strains on the exchanger. Foundation
bolts should be set to allow for setting inaccuracies.
2.3
Levelling
The heat exchanger must be set so that pipe connections can be made without forcing. However, small forces might be
unavoidable, small forces are then acceptable, i.e.
- acceptable forces in all directions on tube side are max 50 N
- acceptable forces in all directions on shell side are max 100 N
2.4
Cleanliness provisions
Connector protectors
All exchanger openings should be inspected for foreign material. Protective plugs should not be removed until just prior
to installation.
Dirt removal
The entire system should be clean before starting operation.
2.5
Fittings and piping
By-pass valves
It may be desirable for the user to provide valves and by-passes in the piping system to permit inspection and repairs.
Test connections
It may be desirable for the user to install thermometer well and pressure gauge connections close to the exchanger.
Vents
It may be desirable for the user to install vent valves close to the exchanger.
Drains
Drains may discharge into an open manifold.
Pulsation and vibration
Care should be taken to eliminate or minimize transmission of fluid pulsations and mechanical vibrations into the heat exchanger.
Safety relief devices
It is the users responsibility to install the required safety devices.
