TURBINE INSTALLATION
In order to guarantee the perfect, safe running of the side channel turbine, position it according to the following
guidelines:
Leave sufficient space on the turbine's perimeter sides (> 200mm) and make sure you keep the motor's fan side
free following the indications in point 3.3 of this manual.
Make sure the free space adjacent to the turbine allows easy access to components for inspection or maintenance
and also allows access for suitable lifting equipment.
Avoid at all costs installing temperature sensitive equipment or electric parts in contact with or near the turbine,
connection piping or service or adjustment valves.
The side channel turbine is equipped with mounting points. Make sure it locks onto a perfectly horizontal, solid
surface in order to avoid tilting and/or subsidence in case of transportation by the system user.
Install the turbine on a structure or system that does not transmit or amplify vibrations or sound emissions; we
recommend the use of anti-vibration systems.
Install the turbine preferably with the operating axis in a horizontal position because the operating of the
vertical axis reduces the lifespan of the rolling bearings by approximately 30%. In the event of vertical
installation, for the fitting, use the holes on the front lid of the turbine.
Ensure there is ventilation in the room or inside the machine housing the turbine and prevent air coming in from the
outlet or motor cooling fans from stagnating in the room, changing the environmental conditions or causing
discomfort to personnel.
In order to avoid vacuum or overpressure excesses, fit an intake or compression (outlet)
safety valve that allows you to comply with the levels shown in point 3.3 of this manual.
WARNING
If the period of time between delivery and/or storage and the first time the side channel turbine is
operated should surpass a set period of time, grease the bearings as shown in point 6.2.7 of this
manual.
HAZARD
Use an intake filter to protect the side channel turbine from dust, sand, masonry debris, cutting
filaments and threadings, drops and welding dirt and sealant residue produced when connecting
the pipes that could damage the impeller blades and/or cause breakage, making the fragments
ejected from the outlet opening dangerous.
During installation and operation, check for the loss of load due to the use of the above mentioned
filter. This must be 30mbar at the most. This value must be subtracted from the maximum pressure
allowed shown in point 3.3 of this manual.
WARNING
Do not install the turbine in an area with dust or other materials that could clog and/or quickly cover
the motor fan or turbine's cooling surfaces.
HAZARD
Position the turbine and relative control systems in order to see the installation area during any
operation in order to prevent the machine from starting up while personnel are still carrying out
work on it.
Failure to comply with these points could cause serious injury.
4.7
USER SYSTEM
Make sure that no harmful substances contaminate the user system during installation.
Make sure the intake and/or outlet piping is not dirty or blocked.
4.8
CONNECTION
HAZARD
The side channel turbine's electric and mechanical connections should only be carried out by
qualified and suitably trained personnel.
