Some applications require that the
equipment is fitted with an air-balance
pipe:
Equipment with control unit SIMPLEX MAX,
float traps for compressed air line drainage
and equipment installed in plants where
condensate is lifted upstream of the
equipment.
In this case connect the air balance pipe
to the bore on top of the cover.
Make sure that the pipe system of the plant is
clean.
Make sure that the equipment is free from
foreign matter.
Mount the equipment in the desired installation
position.
Make sure that the pipes meet the following
requirements:
The layout of the pipelines must prevent the
formation of water pockets.
The pipeline must have a gradient so that the
condensate is free to fall towards the equipment
The cross section of the air balance pipe must
be at least DN 8 (¼ ") .
If the equipment is fitted with control unit
SIMPLEX, an air balance pipe must be
connected to the vent hole for the hand-vent
valve. The air balance pipe must have the
following end connection dimensions:
Standard cover and sightglass cover: G⅜ "
Cover with electrode connections: G¼ "
If one or more of the above mentioned
requirements cannot be met, please contact our
Technical Service or authorized agency in your
country.
Connect the end connections of the equipment
properly to the pipes.
If necessary, connect the air balance pipe to the
equipment as shown in the following drawing.
Make sure that the equipment is safely mounted
and that all connections are made correctly.
