3.2 Locating the Equipment
3.2.1 Space Requirements
The equipment should be mounted on a flat surface capable of
supporting its own weight plus the weight of all ancillary parts. The
minimum footprint requirements are specified below, however there
must be adequate space around the equipment to allow airflow and
access for maintenance purposes and lifting equipment. A minimum
spacing of approximately 500mm (20 ins) is recommended around all
sides of the unit and 750mm (30 ins) above it.
Do Not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate.
3.3 Mechanical Installation
3.3.1 General Requirements
Ensure that all piping materials are suitably rated for the application, clean and debris free. The diameter of the pipes must be sufficient to allow
unrestricted inlet air supply to the equipment.
Apply approximately 8 - 12 turns of P.T.F.E tape to the high quality stainless steel piping.
Fit the piping along with the relevant pre and post filtration onto the inlet and outlet. Isolation valves must be installed before the inlet filtration
and after the outlet filtration.
When routing pipes ensure that they are adequately supported to prevent damage or leaks in the system.
All components used within the system must be rated to at least the maximum operating pressure of the equipment. It is recommended that the
system is protected with suitably rated pressure relief valves.
3.3.2 Securing the Unit
Mounting holes are provided in the feet of the unit. Once the unit has been positioned in its final location ensure that it is securely fixed in place.
