BAC SP2B series, Rigging And Installation Instructions

Page: 5 / 26

In the event of extended lifts or where hazards exist, the lifting devices should be used in conjunction with safety
slings placed under the unit.
Anchoring
The unit must be properly anchored in place.
Refer to the suggested support details on the certified drawing for locations of the mounting holes. Anchor bolts
must be provided by others.
Holes suitable for 19 mm bolts are provided in the bottom flange of the cooler support structure for bolting the unit
to the support beams.
Leveling
The unit must be level for proper operation and ease of piping.
Support beams must also be level as shims should not be used between pan and support beams to level the unit.
Connecting Pipework
All piping external to BAC cooling equipment must be supported separately.
In case the equipment is installed on vibration rails or springs, the piping must contain compensators to eliminate
vibrations carried through the external pipework.
Purge Requirements
The installer of BAC closed circuit cooling towers must ensure a proper air purging of the system prior to operation.
Entrained air can restrict the capacity of the cooler, resulting in higher process temperatures.
Freeze Protection
These products must be protected against damage and/or reduced effectiveness due to possible freeze-up by
mechanical and operational methods. Please refer to the BAC Product & Application Handbook or contact your
local BAC Balticare representative for recommended protection alternatives.
Safety Precautions
All electrical, mechanical and rotating machinery constitutes a potential hazard, particularly for those not familiar
with its design, construction and operation. Accordingly, adequate safeguards (including use of protective
enclosures where necessary) should be taken with this equipment both to safeguard the public (including minors)
from injury and to prevent damage to the equipment, its associated system and the premises.
If there is doubt about safe and proper rigging, installation, operation or maintenance procedures, contact the
equipment manufacturer or his representative for advice.
When working on operating equipment, be aware that some parts may have an elevated temperature. Any
operations on elevated level have to be executed with extra care to prevent accidents.
