3.1.2
Storage
Temporary storage
Even for temporary storage of short duration, store in a dry, well ventilated location free of
vibration on wooden supports at a temperature that is as constant as possible.
Unsuitable storage
If storage conditions are unsuitable (for example high relative humidity), or if the side
channel blower will be in storage for longer than 6 weeks, the housing of the side channel
blower must be filled with oil.
Storage for extended duration
If the storage time exceeds 2 years, the roller bearings in the motor must be regreased or
completely replaced.
3.1.3
Preservation
The side channel blowers we deliver are provided with preservation according to the
storage time specified in the order. This preservation must be removed before
commissioning; see Section 3.2.2 "Cleaning".
If the side channel blower will be taken out of operation for an extended time or if the
storage time originally planned before commissioning will be considerably exceeded,
preservation should be performed as corrosion protection.
The procedure to follow is described in detail in Section 9.1 "Decommissioning / placing in
storage / preservation".
