Determining the Air Gap:
Fig. 19: Determining the air gap for the expansion element
Procedure:
(1)
Determine t
max
and t
min
and enter them on the axes, then draw a connecting line (1) from t
max
to t
min
.
(2)
Measure the ambient temperature during installation and mark it horizontally.
(3)
Drop a line down from the intersection of the two lines, and read off the air gap to adjust.
Example (as entered):
(1)
t
max
= 40 °C; t
min
= -30 °C;
(2)
Ambient temperature during installation = 0 °C
(3)
Air gap = about 26 mm
Ensure that the air gaps on the expansion elements are not displaced during the further
installation of the profiles!
