3.0 INSTALLATION
3.1 Foundation
Where the installation of the aftercooler is concerned, no special foundation is needed.
A solid and flat horizontal surface will do for this purpose.
It is important that enough free space is left around the unit in order to allow enough air circulation and thus the proper cooling.
Furthermore, the ambient air should be free from pollution or flammable gases and vapors, this being a serious fire hazard with fire and
explosion risks.
The ambient temperatures should not be lower than + 5 °C or higher than + 40 °C.
More over the unit should be placed in a room away from direct sunlight, rain and with proper ventilation.
3.2 Installation
With reference to the technical data, before proceeding with any operation, make sure that the air system pipes are clean and free from
any contaminating particle.
a. After unpackaging, arrange the air fittings as follow:
•
Mount the air fittings where indicated by the “air inlet” and “air outlet” stickers;
•
Close the other air points with hermetic screw plugs.
b. Fix the “legs” of the heat exchanger using the supplied material.
c.
Mount the condensate separator at the air outlet point.
d. Connect the aftercooler to the air system according to one of the examples shown on chap. 7.0 by following the symbols of the
stickers explained on par. 1.5.
e. Connect the machine pneumatic motor as shown on chap. 6.0 . This operation must be performed by qualified personnel.
f.
Connect the condensate discharge pipe to the drainage system according to local regulation. It is forbidden to discharge the
condensate directly into the water system therefore it is recommended to install a water-oil separator for the treatment of the
condensate.

4.0 MAINTENANCE
4.1 Routine maintenance
For best performances of the aftercooler the following maintenance program is recommended:
•
Weekly, check the regular condensate discharge.
•
Monthly, depending on the quality of the ambient air and however at the beginning of the hot season, the radiant heat
exchanger should be cleaned with compressed air and, if necessary, wash the finned block to eliminate dirt deposits (this must
be done after the ventilator motor is disconnected from the pneumatic supply).
Check the level of the lubricating oil and the cleaning of the air filter on FRL group.
