Operating manual for LT series cooling water heat exchanger
7.
Setup
The corresponding local regulations should be observed when setting up the heat
exchanger.
In accordance with accident prevention directive BGR500, it should be ensured that the
place of setup has a large enough ventilation area and is sufficiently ventilated in the
case of a cooling fluid leak.
The setup of the heat exchanger should preferably be performed in a frost-safe room.
The minimum distances provided in the dimensions sheet should be respected. It
should be ensured that the room air does not become excessively warm because of the
heat to be evacuated. If heating of the room is unavoidable due to the available room
dimensions, the generated heat should be evacuated using adequate additional
installations (for examples windows or ventilators) and cooler air should be transported
into the room. High room temperatures lead to high pressure switch-offs in the cooling
circuit and thereby reduce the cooling performance of the device. The air in- and outlet
grills should not be blocked.
In order to prevent unnecessary pressure losses in the pipes connecting to the user, the
heat exchanger should be set up as close as possible to the tool to be cooled. The
connection tubes are to be insulated against unnecessary heat uptake and
condensation water formation using adequate insulation materials (for example
Armaflex).
A special base is not necessary for the setup of the heat exchanger, a level installation
on a floor capable of supporting its mass is sufficient.
