Transport, installation and acceptance
6.3.1 Installation location
The installation location of the combustion calorimeter must meet the following
conditions:
Carry out installation in accordance with the conditions of the explosion marking.
Clean environment suitable for gas-analysis/measurement purposes.
Mounting to a solid wall – ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity of the wall.
Working space on the left-hand side of at least 60 cm, and on the right side at
least 50 cm.
Protect against direct sunlight and ensure sufficient shade;
temperature changes above 5°C/h affect measurement results.
Provided with clean and adequate compressed air (ignition protection gas) for
unbiased measurement result (combustion calorimeter requires max. 30,000
l/h air) (see technical data).
Off-gases must be discharged protected from air draft using a suitable pipe/tube.
Connection points must be checked for proper seal.
Risk of injury due to temperature of off-gases/housing!
The off-gas temperature is between 8 – 20°C above the housing temperature!
Use personal safety equipment to prevent burns!
In case of unfavorable circulation/installation conditions, appropriate deflecting
sheets must be provided which prevent fresh air from flowing directly onto the
combustion calorimeter.
