SYSTEM INSTALLATION
This section provides a step-by-step procedure for easy installation of the Nitrogen Generator with optional air
supply system and tanks.
1.
Follow the instructions for unloading/unpacking the Nitrogen Generator described in
Section 2.2
2.
Position the nitrogen generator in an area as described in
Section 3.4
. Lift the nitrogen generator
carefully to avoid damaging piping or control system.
3.
Review the supplied customer “Equipment Connections Drawing” (See
Equipment Layout/Connection Drawing) for detailed layout instruction design for your specific
equipment. This may include a combination of an air compressor, dryer, air cooler, air receiver tank,
nitrogen generator, nitrogen storage tank, and nitrogen booster.
4.
Carefully lift the equipment(s) and position them in a manner that is most suitable to the customer site
conditions. Use lifting and strapping devices that are rated to move the equipment. It is recommended
that the nitrogen storage tank should be located as close to the nitrogen generator as possible.
NOTE:
Carefully attach lifting devices and any rigging to limit heavy impacts and jolting motions which
may damage the piping and valves within the system.
5.
Install the air compressor and refrigerant dryer (if supplied) in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions. Attach air supply connections to the Nitrogen Generator. Install suitable piping or hoses
from the compressor to the dryer, from the dryer to the air receiver, and from the air receiver to the
Nitrogen Generator. The connections may be "hard plumbed" by the user, if desired.
NOTE:
Use of piping sizes smaller than the recommended size will significantly decrease system
performance.
WARNING
Use only materials with compatible pressure rating on components on the product pipe lines.
6.
Install relief valve on the air receiver and nitrogen receiver if not provided by South-Tek Systems.
7.
Check all fittings for leaks using a leak detecting solution.
8.
A qualified electrician should install all electrical connections and the electrical power supply. Plug the
nitrogen generator into an approved outlet of the correct voltage and frequency. Connect the optional
compressor(s) and dryer to an appropriate power supply (according to the requirements stated on the
motor nameplate).
