Eclipse Packaged Gas BoostPak, V2, Installation Guide 630-2, 6/22/2010
Installation
Introduction
In this chapter you will find information and instructions
needed to install the BoostPak and system components.
The system drawings are shipped with the BoostPak.
Refer to the data sheet for the drawing number and
contact Eclipse for a replacement.
Ŷ
All installation work must be carried out in
compliance with current legislated standards.
Handling & Storage
Handling
• Make sure the area is clean.
• Inspect the system, ensure that all components are
clean and free from damage.
• Use appropriate support and handling equipment
when lifting the BoostPak.
• Protect the components from weather, damage, dirt
and moisture.
• Protect the system and components from excessive
temperatures and humidity.
Storage
• Make sure the components are clean and free of
damage.
• Store the components in a cool, clean, dry room.
• After making sure everything is present and in good
condition, keep the components in original
packages as long as possible.
Checklist Before Installation
Placement
The Eclipse BoostPak is completely factory piped, wired
with controls, tested and ready for field connections. The
system should be installed in an accessible ventilated
location on a level concrete floor or substantial mounting
pad. Place the BoostPak to avoid excessive numbers of
bends and fittings in the interconnecting piping.
Access
The BoostPak location must allow easy accessibility for
inspection and maintenance. Provide adequate space all
around the BoostPak in order to facilitate servicing and
field replacement of components. Avoid obstructing the
open access to the control panel.
NOTE:
There should be no less than 36" of clearance
from the front of the control panel door and the swing of
the door should not be obstructed from opening 120°. If
local codes are different than these requirements, those
codes should be adhered to during installation.
Environment
Be sure the operating environment matches the original
operating specifications. Check the following items:
• Voltage, frequency, and stability of electrical power
• Ambient temperature and humidity
• Area classification (non-hazardous or hazardous)
• Exposure to sunlight, water, ice, wind, and vibration
Mechanical Installation
Lift Points
Use lifting lugs on mounting base for all lifting. Do not use
piping or supports as lift points unless designated by
manufacturer labeling.
Mounting
Bolt the unit base securely using the mounting holes
provided in the BoostPak base.
Piping Installation
Gas Piping
All gas piping must be done in accordance with the
national fuel gas code, local utility company and municipal
agency requirements. Protect and prevent contamination
of the piping during installation.
NOTE:
If it is necessary to redirect piping, make sure all
devices are properly oriented with respect to flow direction
and vertical (gravity) orientations.
NOTE:
Avoid severe size reductions in pipe connections,
unnecessary fittings, and excessive bends that may
cause additional flow restriction and pressure loss.
Elbows within 5 pipe diameters may reduce pressure and
capacity below operating requirements.
