Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual
DCE 2000 Series Dust Collectors

Location of air intake
Avoid locating the air intake in an excessively polluted area and install an adequate
air intake filter. The compressor air intake should be sited, if possible, on the
north side of the building – fresh air drawn from the north side is usually cooler
and denser, and therefore has a lower moisture content. (South of the equator
the reverse will apply).
Layout and installation of air lines
The pipework between compressor and dust collector should be long enough
to act as a cooling device for the compressed air. A typical requirement for the
smaller installation would be 10 m (30ft) of 12 mm (½" NB) piping. For further
details see Table 7. The piping should be installed to provide a fall in the direction
of air flow to assist in the drainage of accumulated moisture. A moisture separator
should be provided at the lowest point of the installation.
Pressure relief
The manifold has a maximum operating pressure of 6.2 bar (see Table 6 in
‘Specifications’ section). It is a requirement that adequate precaution is taken
to avoid exceeding this pressure. Where a relief valve is supplied by Donaldson
this device has a relief rating of 17 dm³/s at 6.9 bar. Extra system relief will be
required if the connected supply can exceed this.
Controller
It is a requirement of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 1992
to provide adequate isolation and emergency stop facilities. Due to the
varied nature of site installations this cannot be provided by Donaldson
but instead is the responsibility of the customer.
Ensure all personnel carrying out electrical installation work on the
equipment follow any relevant recognised standards/codes and are
competent to do so.
Always isolate power before opening the controller.
Each DCE 2000 Series dust collector is supplied with either an IPC Controller or
an IPC (
DR
) Controller to operate the reverse jet cleaning system.
If the dust collector is not fitted with an IPC Controller please refer to
supplied documentation.
For IPC or IPC (
DR
) Controller connections and set-up, refer to Publication
2699.
