MECHANICAL SAFETY
Mechanical safety of the equipment is in accordance with the requirements of the EU machinery directive.
Depending upon site conditions it also may be necessary to install items such as bottom screens, ladders,
safety cages, stairways, access platforms, handrails and toe boards for the safety and convenience of the
authorized service and maintenance personnel.
For more information consult your local BAC representative.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
All electrical components associated with this equipment should be installed with a lockable disconnect switch
located within sight of the equipment.
In the event of multiple components, these can be installed after a single disconnect switch but multiple switches
or a combination thereof are also allowed.
No service work should be performed on or near electrical components unless adequate safety measures are
taken. These include, but are not limited to the following:
•
Isolate the component electrically
•
Lock the isolation switch in order to prevent unintentional restart
•
Measure that no electrical voltage is present anymore
•
If parts of the installation remain energized, make sure to properly demarcate these in order to avoid
confusion
Fan motor terminals and connections may have residual voltage after unit shut-down. Wait five minutes after
disconnecting the voltage at all poles before opening the fan motor terminal box.
LOCATION
All cooling equipment should be located as far away as possible from occupied areas, open windows or air
intakes to buildings.
LOCAL REGULATIONS
Installation and operation of cooling equipment may be subject to local regulations, such as establishment of
risk analysis. Ensure regulatory requirements are consistently met.
Disposal requirements
Dismantling of the unit and treatment of refrigerants (if applicable), oil and other parts must be done with respect
to the environment whilst protecting workers from potential risks related to exposure to harmful substances.
National and regional legislation for material disposal and protection of workers should be taken into account
with regard to:
•
Appropriate handling of construction and maintenance materials when dismantling the unit. In particular
when dealing with materials that contain harmful substances, such as asbestos or carcinogenic substances.
•
Appropriate disposal of the construction and maintenance materials and components such as steel, plastics,
refrigerants and waste water according to local and national requirements for waste management, recycling
and disposal.
Non-walking surfaces
Access to and maintenance of any component needs to be performed in accordance with all local applicable
laws and regulations. If the proper and required access means are not present, temporary structures need to be
foreseen. Under no circumstance can one use parts of the unit, that are not designed as an access mean,
unless measures can be taken to mitigate any risks that might occur from doing so.
