3-1 Uncrating the Equipment
WARNING!
Due to the size and weight of the Screw Compressor Chiller, the manufacturer
recommends using bonded professional millwrights to unload and move the chiller.
1.
Rig the chiller from the frame only, using spreader bars to prevent load transfer to
any chiller components.
2.
Rig the frame from at least four points and balance the load before lifting to clear the
skid.
3.
Use a forklift of adequate size when lifting the chiller by the fork pockets.
4.
Insert the forks all the way into the pockets and be sure to balance the load before
lifting the chiller to clear the skid. Lift only as high as necessary.
5.
Use a pry bar to free the skid if necessary.
6.
Lower slowly.
Caution!
Due to the weight of these units, use extrme caution when moving and
placing Screw Compressor Central Chilling Stations.
3-2 Rigging and Placing the Chiller
As with all equipment installations, follow all applicable codes and regulations.
1.
Locate close to the process to reduce piping expense.
2.
Locate adjacent to drain and city water sources.
3.
Consult a structural engineer to assure that the floor, mounting pad or structural steel
support is of adequate strength.
4.
Allow for required service clearances necessary for condenser maintenance and easy
access to all components. See page
