INSTALLATION
Storage
The machine must not be exposed to frost unless it has been emptied of water (frost protected). Even brief periods of
exposure to frost may cause damage to the equipment.
Store the equipment in a frost-free room in the original packing.
Installation
Place the equipment in a frost-free room, well protected from the sun and place it on a hard surface.
Make sure that, in the event of failing non-return valves in the air and water supply, there are suitable back-flow
preventers fitted.
Local regulations may require installation of a back-flow protecting device to prevent compressed air or chemicals
getting into the water supply.
Piping
The piping should be made from materials suitable for the media in the pipes, the maximum pressure and
temperature.
It is the fitter’s responsibility to ensure that the piping including all armatures conform to local regulations.
The installation must be performed such that forces from pipes etc. are not transferred to the equipment during and
after fitting, as this may result in leaks or damage the equipment.
Select a pipe size so that the flow velocity in the pipe is up to 3 meters/second (10 feet/second). This gives a normally
accepted pressure loss and low noise from the flow.
In order to facilitate maintenance of the equipment, it is recommended to fit a shut-off valve in the pipelines
immediately at the connections for water.
Pipe supports
Always use pipe supports designed for the pipe size and material and maximum working pressure and temperature.
