5. 4 Storage
If the Alfa Laval ViscoLine™-VLC equipment is to be stored prior to installation then it
must be kept under Class B conditions, namely under a roof in a ventilated building
that has a dry floor. This avoids damage or deterioration of the equipment during
storage.
5. 5 Unloading and transportation
The most convenient method of unloading and transporting crates containing Alfa
Laval ViscoLine™-VLC equipment is to use
a fork lift with widely separated forks
.
The crate is approx 2 or 3m in length depending upon the unit selected. If a suitable
fork lift with side separated forks is not available, use one fork lift at each side of the
crate. The centre of gravity and strapping points are marked on each crate.
5. 6 Unpacking and inspection
To avoid the risk of damage, the crates containing the VLC units must be opened
and unpacked in the presence of a Alfa Laval representative and that of a customer.
To unpack each crate, proceed as follows:
1. With the crate in an upright position, remove its lid.
2. Unpack easily accessible parts at the top of the crate.
3. Support the sides using a fork lift or similar and lower the sides of the crate so
that they are unfolded. The remaining unit is therefore supported on the bottom
panel of the crate and is easily accessible.
4. Unpack the remaining unit.
5. Check each separate item of delivered equipment against the packing lists
attached to the crates. Report any missing items to Alfa Laval immediately.
6. Carefully examine each separate item of delivered equipment and ensure that it
is complete and undamaged. Report any damage to Alfa Laval immediately.
7. Dismantle and safely dispose of the equipment crates.
5. 7 Positioning and assembly
Heavy equipment
When unpacking the crates containing ViscoLine™-VLC units, handle the contents
with care. These units are heavy and, if handled carelessly, they may fall and cause
major injuries to persons in close proximity.
Before installing an Alfa Laval ViscoLine™ heat exchanger plant, carefully read the
warning and caution notices in chapter 1. Take all necessary precautions to
guarantee the safety of personnel and avoid risk of damage to the equipment.
