6. Unpacking and installation
6.1 Unpacking
For your own safety you must observe the safety rules
and use suitable tools for unpacking and personal
protection equipment.
At least two able people are needed to unpack the
assembly.
Check the condition of the packaging on delivery.
Unpack the equipment as close as possible to its
place of use to avoid having to move it any great
distance.
Cut the straps and remove the lid.
Remove the tank.
6.2 Installation
The customer is responsible for ensuring that the
premises comply with current regulations and safety
standards and with the following recommendations.
The maximum pressure of liquid nitrogen
supply must be below 3 bars (1.5 bars
recommended). Using a higher pressure
may damage the equipment.
The volume of liquid nitrogen available is
determined by the quantity of liquid present
between the minimum level and the
maximum filling level in the supplying tank.
Before connecting the flexible filling line to
the supplying tank or the liquid nitrogen
supply it is important to purge the lines with
dry nitrogen in order to remove any trace of
moisture.
