InstallatIon
Where equipment is installed in a Potentially Explosive Atmosphere,
care should be taken not to locate or use the collector where external
ignition sources can be introduced, for example stray electric currents,
lightening, electromagnetic waves, ionising radiation, ultrasonic waves.
When handling explosive or flammable materials and the risk of a fire is
high, then precautions such as fitting a sprinkler system and not locating
the collector in a zone 21/1 area should be considered.
When handling explosive or flammable materials the collector should be
located so as to avoid external heat sources, e.g. from nearby processes
or extreme direct sunlight.
Where applicable, care is required when siting the dust collector to
ensure that the effects (flame, pressure, noise and fire) produced during
and after the explosion venting process do not put at risk personnel and
nearby plant.
The collector is not designed to support site-installed ducts,
interconnecting piping or electrical services. All ducts, piping or
electrical services must be adequately supported.
All external equipment connected to the dust collector should be
correctly sealed. This can be achieved by applying a continuous 5 mm
bead of sealing compound to the mounting surface, along each side
of the hole pattern. For non-Donaldson equipment please also check
supplier's IOM manual for any specific requirements.
