3. Storage guidelines
3.1 Storage
Unless otherwise agreed, Alfa Laval delivers the equipment ready to be put in
operation upon arrival and after installation.
If it is necessary to store equipment for a longer period (1 month or more), certain
precautions shall be made in order to protect and prevent unnecessary wear of
the equipment.
Filters shall be stored preferably in their packing case (ALU Pack) & in the
original wooden box and in an environment protected from rain, dust, sands &
direct sun. Storage temperature shall be maintained between -10 to +60
0
C (14 to
140°F) and the relative humidity between 15 and 95% RH.
NOTE
There should absolutely not be any ozone producing equipment in the
storage room, like operating electric motors or arc welding. Ozone destroys
many rubber materials.
Do not store organic solvents or acids in the storage room.
3.2 Standstill
If the machinery is to be out of operation for a period of 3 days or more, the
following precautions shall be taken:
• Drain the filter
• Flush the filter with potable water
Note
If the filter(s) is out of operation for more than three (3) days, then filter(s) shall
be drained and flushed with potable water in order to avoid corrosion on the
internal metallic parts.
