All Saft monoblocks to be
equipped with a centralized
water filling system, are equipped
with the water filling ramp.
All necessary accessories, such
as hoses, pipes, elbows, can be
supplied with each battery.
List of part numbers, see app. 5.
3.3.2. General instructions
for assembly
!
Levels
The whole system should always be
installed at the same level. However,
if different levels exist, start the
hydraulic circuit at the highest point,
such that the water can always flow
downward and without causing
more pressure than that due to the
loss of content in the ramps of the
monoblock.
Install the water filling and gas
outlets in a well ventilated place,
where the oxygen and hydrogen
gases can easily disperse and
evacuate. All risks of sparks and
ignition sources must be avoided.
It is imperative to protect the
outlets against rain, dust, mud, etc.
During the study of the pipe
layout, attention should be given
that no syphon containing water
or condensation can block the
outlets in case of freezing.
!
Pipes and hoses
For the hydraulic connection
between two monoblocks, use a
hose as specified in appendix 6.
For distances greater than
200 mm (between the battery
and the water tank for example),
or to form a loop, use flexible
reinforced PVC pipe with a
diameter of 10 x 16 mm, part
number 208 859.
For very tight loops it is preferable
to use a 90° polypropylene
elbow, part number 444 103.
Avoid any nipping or squeezing of
the flexible pipes or hoses during
the assembly of the system.
Avoid forming vertical loops in
which water would remain after
the filling operation.
!
Inlets and outlets
During normal operation (not
topping-up), the hydraulic circuit
must be closed on one side (inlet),
such that any gas can escape
through the outlet on the other side.
!
Water inlet
Use self closing connecting plugs,
part number 280 604 (female
connector) and part number
280 605 (male connector).
When disconnecting these plugs,
both parts will automatically be
closed, i.e.
- the inlet to the hydraulic circuit
on the battery side is closed,
- the pipe to the water reservoir is
closed, and stops the water flow.
!
Water and gas outlet
Do not use self-closing plugs.
Use free-pass plugs, part number
280 602 (female connector) or
directly the soft pipe in reinforced
PVC 10 x 6, part number 208 859.
