Installation:
After you have selected the position in the pipe according to the preparation
stage and the given temperature conditions, fit the appropriate connectors
for the filter connection type in order to couple the filter to the existing pipe.
Depending on the size of housing, it is recommended to install the filter top
first and then screw on the bottom of the housing after installation. For this
purpose, unscrew the bottom half of the filter clockwise. Fit the filter top in
the pipeline (which must of course first be depressurized) and then screw
the bottom half of the filter counter-clockwise back onto the filter top. Make
sure that the O-ring in the filter top is correctly positioned and the element
is placed in the suspension in the filterbowl. We recommend the installation
of a shut-off device upstream and downstream of the filter. By this, the filter
housing can be removed separately for maintenance.
After installation, open slowly the inlet valve (not included in delivery).
Check that all screwed connections are free of leaks. In the event of leakage,
immediately shut off the pressure supply to isolate and seal all leaks. Please
note that in case of float-type condensate drains the float may rise only up to
a specified pressure limit. This must have occurred at 3 bar g at the latest.
Even with precaution damages caused by transportation cannot be ruled
out. Therefore, always check the filter for damages after transportation and
packaging removal.
The haulage contractor and the manufacturer or the sales partner must be
informed about any damage immediately.
To maintain the filter quality the filter must be stored at a suitable location
and properly prepared for storage.
Store the filter in the supplied transport packaging. If necessary, the filter
should be protected against dust using an additional cover.
The place of storage has to fulfil the following requirements:
•
indoors
•
protected against weather impact (Frost-free)
•
dry.
