3. Installation
The booster module can be mounted directly on the floor or on a
base frame. The module is adjusted by means of the four
adjustable feet.
The inlet and discharge ports of the booster modules are shown
in figs
3
and 4. Pipes are connected by means of Victaulic clamp
couplings.
The BMET booster module also has a PJE clamp coupling on the
concentrate inlet and a connection (300) for a hose for the
concentrate outlet.
3.1 Hose for turbine
On BMET systems, the hose (300) is fastened to the outlet of
the turbine housing with a strap. The hose is led to a drain tank,
drain channel or a similar drain.
The concentrate outlet must be kept free under
Caution
all operating conditions.
The end of the hose should always be mounted above the highest
possible water level in the drain. The hose should be supported.
See fig. 4.
If a discharge pipe is connected to the
Caution
concentrate outlet, this pipe must have an air
inlet.
