6.2 Installation and alignment
The figure below illustrates the major iSave
components.
The iSave is connected to the electric motor by
the bell housing and a flexible coupling. The bell
housing is not suitable for bearing the weight of
either the iSave or the motor. Both the iSave and
motor must be supported without applying
stress/load to the bell housing.
Danfoss provides the iSave with a base plate and
support brackets. Although the base plate is of a
sturdy design, it can flex or bend when it is
bolted to the foundation. The base plate thus
requires a solid foundation such as concrete or
rigid steel frame. The base plate itself must be
aligned to avoid bending caused by bolting to an
uneven foundation.
A rigid foundation for the iSave assembly is
important, and the iSave assembly must be
bolted to the foundation. The bolts used must be
of proper design and must be installed in
accordance with the bolt manufacturer’s
recommendations.
To reduce noise it is recommended to use
resilient mounts between the base plate and the
foundation. Make sure that the bolts are properly
locked and will stay locked over time.
An unlocked bolt can result in personal
injury and/or damage to the iSave.
Misalignment of the base plate may cause
stress and/or damage to the bell housing.
