Installation
Generator Environment
The generator is designed for indoor use only. It should be installed adjacent to
the application(s) it is supplying. If this is not convenient then the unit can be sited
elsewhere, however, consideration should be made of the lengths of pipe runs as
pressure drops can result from extended runs of pipe.
Performance of the generator is affected by ambient conditions. Please note that the
generator’s function is primarily to remove Oxygen and Moisture from the generated
Nitrogen and/ or Dry Air. Though, depending on model, some hydrocarbon
technology may be employed by the generator, in environments with high ambient
concentrations of THC additional THC removal filtration may be required, or service
life of integrated THC traps may be significantly reduced. Note should also be
taken to the proximity of Air Conditioning outlets. These can sometimes give rise
to “pockets” of air with high relative humidity. Operation of the unit within such a
pocket could adversely affect its performance. Consideration should also be given
to the air flow around the unit.
It is recommended that an air gap of 100mm (3.9”)
should be maintained down both sides and at the rear of the unit
. Please refer to the
drawing on the following page for the general dimensions of the unit.
Please ensure Generator is situated in a well ventilated environment and is positioned
to allow easy disconnection from the mains supply if required.
Please ensure
generator is positined in such a way that it can be easily disconnected
from the mains if necessary.
Minimum Operating Ambient Temperature:
5 °C (41 °F)
Maximum Operating Ambient Temperature:
30 °C (86 °F)
Inlet Air Quality
The Nitrogen Generator should be connected to an ISO 8573-1:2010 (1:4:1) source of
compressed air. A minimum pressure of 60 Psig is required for efficient operation of
the Generator. Any doubts as to the suitability of your compressed air supply should
be referred to the factory for advice.
A MAXIMUM OIL VAPOUR CONTENT OF 0.01 mg per m^3 is PERMISSIBLE
Air Inlet, Nitrogen Outlet and Air outlet connections are at the rear of the generator.
The Air inlet connection is a 16mm Push-Fit Fitting. Outlet ports for both Air and
Nitrogen are 12mm Push-Fit Fitting, with optional depressurising valves included in
the fittings kit for the nitrogen outlet. The Drain Outlet is a 6mm Push-Fit Fitting.
