II. INSTALLATION
A. UNPACK
Normally, the shipment is packaged in one container
including the entire unit, completely assembled and with
instructions. Any shipping damage noted upon receipt
should be immediately referred directly to the carrier and
a claim filed. When receipt has been cleared, all crating
and blocking used in shipment should be carefully
removed.
B. SELECT MOUNTING LOCATION
Consideration must be given to three main points when
selecting the mounting location.
i. Temperature
The temperature of the gas flow through the precipitator
must not 160 degrees F and also be low enough
so that all vapors and/or mists have fully condensed into
particulate matter prior to entering the unit. The purpose
may be defeated if warm materials pass through the
unit in a gaseous state, then condense into mist down
stream from the collector element. Adequate duct runs
between the contaminate and the precipitator, or a chill
means, must be provided to lower the gas temperature
to a satisfactory point. The minimum temperature to
which the unit should be exposed is +20 degrees F.
ii. Positioning
Although the unit will operate in any position, it is primarily
designed for vertical upflow. The important factor to keep
in mind when positioning is the adequate drainage of
collected materials and with the unit in the vertical upflow
position, this feature is best facilitated.
iii. Service Access:
Adequate space should be provided in front of the access
panel for ease in access panel and internal component
removal.
C. INSTALLATION OF PRECIPITATOR
1. Disconnect primary cable from power pack.
2. Remove access panel hardware and panel. Place
in safe location being careful not to deform the high
voltage spring contacts in the under side.
3. Remove flame arrestor, ionizer, collector and outlet
baffle and place them aside with access panel if
flange type filter unit.
4. The internal surfaces of the cabinet are treated with
a light-weight oil to protect the unpainted metal from
rust and corrosion prior to packing for shipment. The
preserving oil should be thoroughly flushed away
with an adequate solvent prior to mounting.
a) Refer to Drawings for mounting bolt hole
dimensions.
b) Be sure flame arrestor is properly installed in inlet
flange before connecting the mating flange of the
adjoining duct run.
c) If a threaded/pipe type filter, install arrestor in inlet
piping where a flange connection exists to install/
access the inlet ducting.
5. Thoroughly clean all installation dirt from the cabinet,
then reinstall ionizer, collector and outlet baffle.
6. Reinstall and secure access panel.
D. WIRING
Connect alternating voltage as specified through a
service switch, to the connections provided in the
junction box located on the side of the unit. Refer to the
electrical parts list and schematic.
III. OPERATION
Energize the unit. The pilot light should glow, indicating
the ionizer and collector are correctly powered. Arcing
and cracking accompanied by a flickering of the pilot
light may be noted when the unit is first energized. If
it occurs, it is probably due to some small amount of
foreign material in the system or collector and should
quickly subside. If the pilot light is dim, or does not glow,
when the unit is energized or prolonged, arcing occurs,
refer to Troubleshooting, page 5.
