Siting the Electrastream unit:
Note: The Electrastream units are designed for indoor use only.
The cylinder must always be installed vertically, at a convenient above ground location
within the property. As the Electrastream is part of a sealed system, the cylinder is
equally effective on any floor. The floor must give adequate support to the filled
cylinder, refer to weights in Fig. 2.
The Electrastream must not be installed in any enclosed space where the air
temperature could exceed the maximum electrical design ambient of 30 °C. Adequate
ventilation should be provided for airing cupboards and enclosed compartments.
Humidity may also present a problem within airing cupboards.
For servicing and cylinder replacement, clearance is required all round the cylinder –
recommended 100 mm minimum.
The cylinder may be installed below ground i.e. in a basement, providing that the
expansion relief discharge pipe is plumbed to a metal receptacle with a suitable
pump and switch arrangement in accordance with, current Building Regulations.
