GENERAL INFORMATION
Operating conditions
BAC cooling equipment is designed for the operating conditions specified below, which must not be exceeded
during operation.
•
Wind Load : For safe operation of unshielded equipment exposed to wind speeds above 120 km/h installed at a
height above 30 m from the ground, contact your local BAC-Balticare representative.
• Seismic Risk : For safe operation of equipment installed in moderate and high hazard area's contact your local
BAC-Balticare representative.
• The coils are manufactured from black steel and hot dip galvanised after fabrication and may contain certain
contaminants, such as carbon, iron oxide or welding particles.
• The installer must take the necessary precautions on site to safeguard the operation of sensitive components
in conjunction with the coils.
PURGE REQUIREMENTS
The installer of BAC equipment must ensure proper system purging of air prior to operation. Entrained air can
obstruct the proper flow of glycol solution, resulting in higher operating pressures than design and reduced thermal
storage capacity.
Connecting pipework
All piping external to BAC cooling equipment must be supported separately.
The equipment outlet piping must be installed under the operating level of the equipment to prevent air suction and
pump cavitation.
All connections in the external pipework (installed by others) must be leak free and tested accordingly.
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.
Air piping between air pump and TSC can have temperatures above 40°C. Insulate the piping if necessary to
prevent personal injury.
