INSTALLATION
Condensation discharge
The condensation discharge network must be suitably
sized and the pipeline positioned so that it keeps a
constant inclination, never less than 1%. In the vertical
installation, the discharge pipe is connected directly to
the discharge tray, positioned at the bottom of the side
shoulder underneath the hydraulic fixtures. In a horizontal
installation the discharge tube is connected to the one
already present on the machine.
-
If possible, make the condensation liquid flow directly
in a gutter or a “rainwater” discharge.
- When discharging directly into the main drains, it is
advisable to make a siphon to prevent bad smells
returning up the pipe towards the room. The curve
of the siphon must be lower than the condensation
collection bowl.
- If the condensation needs to be discharged into a
container, it must be open to the atmosphere and
the tube must not be immerged in water to avoid
problems of adhesiveness and counter-pressure that
would interfere with the normal outflow.
-
If there is a height difference that could interfere with
the outflow of the condensation, a pump must be
mounted:
- in a vertical installation mount the pump under the
lateral drainage tray;
-
in a horizontal installation the pump position must be
decided according to the specific requirements.
Such pumps are commonly found in commerce.
However, on completion of the installation it is advisable
to check the correct outflow of the condensation liquid by
slowly pouring about ½ l of water into the collection tray in
about 5-10 minutes.
Connect to the condensation collection tray discharge
union a pipe for the outflow of the liquid blocking it
adequately. Check that the drip-collector extension is
present and correctly installed.
