Transporting and installing the dryer
Requirements for the installation site
The conditions at the installation site have a large influence on the functional
capability of the dryer and the service life of the drying agent. In order to ensure a
mode of operation, which is as continuous as possible, and low maintenance, the
installation site must meet the following requirements:
The installation site must be located within a building. Protect the dryer
against moisture.
The ambient temperature must not drop below +1,5 °C (34,7 °F).
Heed the dryer’s noise emission when selecting the installation location.
The installation area must be level, firm and vibration-proof. It must have the
necessary carrying capacity for the weight of the dryer. The weight of the
dryer is specified in the technical data section of the annex.
The dryer should be installed with
sufficient spacing at the top, sides, and
rear, in order to be able to carry out
maintenance work and change the
drying agent without any hindrances
(see figure).
Necessary spacing at the top
and sides = min. 1 m
If in doubt, the installation site must be inspected by specialists. If you have any
queries in this regard, please contact the manufacturer.
