Surface and foundation
The surface on which the machine is installed must be flat and horizontal. All the machine's feet must have
uniform contact with the ground. Ensure that the ground/subsoil has sufficient load bearing capacity.
According to the installation instructions a continuous concrete foundation with the given minimum size is
recommended. For details, the gross weight of your machine is listed in the technical data (
Table 3: Technical
data
). In the case of chillers equipped with a tank the net weight increases during operation by the quantity
of liquid in the tank. This gives the gross weight.
If it is not possible to lay a foundation, the machine can also be positioned on a baseframe made of steel
sections. Please also ensure here that all the unit feet have uniform contact with the baseframe.
It is
recommended to fix the Chiller to the foundation.
6.2.7.
Stability
The normal situation is for the machine and the baseplate to be stood firmly on the ground. It is not necessary
to anchor the machine to the ground. However, if this is necessary due to the surrounding conditions, the
machine can be equipped with the optionally available levelling feet (see
Chapter 3.7 Levelling
feet (accessories)
). The levelling feet provide very good resistance to slipping. If this is not sufficient for your
application the machine can also be bolted to the ground. Holes are provided in the machine baseplate for
precisely this purpose. The system designer is responsible for choosing suitable fixing elements.
6.2.8.
Levelling
If it is necessary to level the chiller on the ground or floor, this can be done using the optionally available
levelling feet.
6.2.9.
Vibration isolation
If it is necessary to isolate the chiller on the ground or floor, this can be done using the optionally available
levelling feet. The levelling feet are fitted with vibration-isolating elastomers.
