The choice and sizing of the hydraulic lines must be made by an
expert who must operate according to the rules of good technique
and the laws in force, taking into account that undersized pipes
cause a malfunction.
To make the connections:
-
position the hydraulic lines
- tighten the connections using the “spanner and counter
spanner” method
-
check for any leaks of liquid
-
coat the connections with insulating material.
The hydraulic lines and joints must be thermally insulated.
Avoid partially insulating the pipes.
Do not over-tighten to avoid damaging the insulation.
Use hemp and green paste to seal the threaded connections; the
use of Teflon is advised when there is anti-freeze in the hydraulic
circuit.
Minium inner pipeline diameter
The condensation discharge network must be suitably sized
(minimum inside pipe diameter 16 mm) 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.
