Be especially careful when unpacking the exchanger. Energy Rotary Wheels can be transported only in a vertical
position. They cannot be stacked on top of each other. While unfastening the transportation straps, make sure that
the exchanger will not fl ip over. Use protective gloves – elements of the heat exchanger may have sharp edges or be
covered with the iron oxide, resulting from the material characteristics (which is completely natural – do not affect
the quality of the product.)
3.3 Lifting
To avoid damages and serious accidents, lift the
exchanger as shown on the following illustrations
and follow given instructions. Any other methods
of lifting the exchanger may result in its serious
damages or injuries. All the transportation tasks
should be carried out by qualifi ed staff. Use
protective clothing and make sure no one is in the
range of movement of the exchanger. Extreme
precautions should be taken.
Swiss Rotors wheel are equipped with the
special lifting straps (Fig. 5) attached on the both
sides of the casing. They are already tied to the
transportation holes on both sides of the upper
casing of an exchanger and are designed particularly for the lifting purposes. Any
other method of lifting is prohibited.
Transportation straps provided are adapted
to the weight of the exchanger and cannot be
replaced. If for some reason transportation belts
have not been attached at the top of your rotary
heat exchanger - contact Swiss Rotors support.
Remove the belts after installation.
Attach transportation hooks to both belts (Fig. 7).
Use hooks with additional safety clips to prevent
accidental fall. Make sure your hooks with belts
are adapted to lift the weight of the exchanger.
Use only professional transport utility.
Ensure an even weight distribution by lifting the belts centrally, at the middle of the heat exchanger (Fig. 8). Any retraction
from the centre of the exchanger axis may cause the exchanger to tilt and unclip from the belts. Make sure that your
lifting device can withstand the weight of the exchanger.
3.4 Moving at site
In order to move the heat wheel properly and safely, use pallet track or forklift (Fig. 6). Use the pallet track carefully by
driving slowly without making any sudden movements. Disassemble transportation blocks (one at the time) once the
heat exchanger reach the destination and will be fi nally ready for the installation inside a unit.
3.5 Storage
If the exchanger is not installed immediately, leave the product in its original packaging and follow the rules of proper
storage. Prolonged exposure of the product to the improper conditions may damage and shorten the lifetime of vario-
us rotary heat exchanger components.
