INSTALLATION
WARNING!
Read all application documentation, including the documentation for equipped
options BEFORE STARTING ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION, or performing service
check and maintenance on the Thermoelectric Generator.
3.1
PREPARATION
3.1.1
BASE
Before beginning assembly, ensure that the base where the TEG will be placed is level and does not
deviate by more than 3° (0.5 inch per foot or 50 mm per meter).
The Model 8550-RU TEG has an optional stand that allows optimal airflow around the TEG and
convenience for operators to perform service checks. If you opted not to purchase the stand, prepare
a platform or stand to mount the TEG on. The TEG should be mounted high enough to prevent
flooding or heavy snowfall from interfering with the flow of cooling or intake air around the TEG. We
recommend a stand that is 36 inches (91 cm) above the ground. Anchor the stand to the base so that
it remains stable through inclement weather.
3.1.2
LOCATION
If the TEG will be installed near a building or large objects that may obstruct the flow of wind, choose
a site on the windward side at least 45 feet (14 m) away from the building or object, or on the roof if
possible.
Always follow local regulations when placing the TEG near buildings and fuel tanks.
3.1.3
FUEL SUPPLY
The fuel system on each TEG unit is designed for either propane or natural gas. Check the Data Plate
on inside of the TEG cabinet to verify the type of fuel that is compatible with your TEG.
When preparing the fuel supply to the TEG:
1.
Make sure that the fuel is free of moisture or any other type of contamination.
If the fuel is expected to contain moisture or other contaminants, use a filtering or fuel
conditioning system. Consult GPT for more information.
2.
Make sure that the fuel supply pressure never exceeds 25 psi (172 kPa).
If the supply fuel pressure is expected to vary significantly, use an additional primary
regulator to ensure that the input pressure to the Burner Fuel Pressure Regulator stays
relatively constant.
3.
Make sure that the fuel is appropriate to the environment. If using propane, make the following
adjustments if necessary:
In environments with temperatures that fall below 5°C (41°F), use pure methyl hydrate in
the ratio of 1:800 by volume as an antifreeze additive.
NOTE: Moisture in the propane may freeze at temperatures below 5°C (41°F).
