4.3.4 Header pipe
Schaller Automation uses tried-and-tested hydraulic components for its installation kits
for intake and transporting atmosphere containing oil mist. Only pipes (tubes) in
accordance with DIN EN 10305-4 and fittings in accordance with EN ISO 8434-1 are
used. The combination of all horizontally connected signal pipes is also referred to as
the “header pipe”.
The pipes are always customised to the engine geometry or the available installation
space and are preferably supplied with straight design. Depending on requirements,
angled piping is also available, to customer specifications.
Cutting rings and union nuts for connecting multiple pipes are supplied pre-assembled
as screw fittings or loose with the installation kit, depending on the application or
customer requirements.
4.3.5 Engine wall connection (EWC) and intake funnel
An engine wall connection essentially consists of two main components: the fitting body
(1) and an intake funnel (2).
