Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation due to the possible accumulation of
harmful vapours (8).
Make sure that there is sufficient light to operate and maintain the unit.
Make sure that there is sufficient space around the unit to operate and maintain
it.
To prevent damage during transport, certain components are shipped
separately. Make sure that these components are installed correctly.
Figure 4-1: Illustrations showing installation requirements
4.1.3 Water installation requirements
The installation requirements are as follows:
Make sure that you have the correct piping.
Install and use materials as defined in the ISSO 87 publication (Quality
requirements for water systems in greenhouses).
Fill the suction pipes fully with water and bleed them of air before using for the
first time.
Prevent pressure loss by using the correct diameter pipes in relation to the
length of the unit and the altitude of the installation site.
If an automatic filter is used, bear in mind the extra amount of flush water
required.
If an external filling pump or pressure pipe is used, make sure to commission
these correctly.
Bear in mind: risk of overflow, batch or continuous process, distance between
pump and unit, minimum flow pressure of 0.7 bar.
If water is supplied under pressure, install a pressure reduction valve and set it
to a maximum of 0.5 bar.
Ensure that the pressure pipe(s) is (are) the correct diameter in relation to the
distance to the field or tank.
