10.1 CONDITIONS OF USE
Non-compliance with the unit's intended use can cause serious accidents.
This manual:
MUST be read carefully and understood before carrying out any operations on the unit;
MUST be strictly complied with;
MUST always be at hand in the place where the unit is used.
Installation must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
The maximum pressure differentials given in the "SPECIFICATIONS" refer to the following operating conditions:
as a blower:
gas intake temperature 20°C (+68°F) and atmospheric pressure 1013 mbar (abs.) (29.92 In Hg ) measured at the inlet port
as an exhauster:
gas intake temperature 20°C (+68°F) measured at the inlet port and atmospheric backpressure 1013 mbar (abs.) (29.92 In
Hg).
The ambient temperature, and the conveyed gas intake temperature, is
permissible inside the range -15°C (+5°F) ÷ +40°C (+104°F) with the
following provisions;
for ambient temperature +30°C (+86°F) reduce the maximum
pressure differentials given in the "SPECIFICATIONS" by 5%;
for ambient temperature +40°C (+104°F) reduce the
maximum
pressure
"SPECIFICATIONS" by 10%.
The graph to be used to reduce the maximum pressure differentials in
case of ambient temperature between +21°C and +40°C (or between
+70°F and +104°F) is given opposite
The maximum height at which the unit can be installed is 1000m a.s.l.; if higher, contact FPZ S.p.A. After-Sales Service.
In case of suction in the place or on the system, protect the intake pipe using a suitable filter with maximum filtration degree 20 µm / 25
µm. For the use of filters with different filtration degree, ask FPZ. Check compliance with the maximum pressure / vacuum data given in
the "SPECIFICATIONS".
To ensure machine operation within the maximum pressure differentials indicated in the "SPECIFICATIONS",
ATTENTION !
it is advisable to use a device for limiting the vacuum / pressure rather than throttling the suction or delivery.
ATTENTION !
If installation is outdoors, protect the unit from the sun.
10.2 SPECIAL VERSIONS
FPZ side channel blowers/exhausters can be manufactured in special or custom versions; the instructions given in this manual still
apply to some of them.
The special versions manufactured, and for which that given above applies, are:
TMS version
Machines that ensure mechanical seal between the parts that convey air or fluids, minimising leakage.
Special electric motors
On request, blowers/exhausters can be manufactured with motors having one or more of the following characteristics:
Special voltages
-
Higher levels of protection against solid bodies and/or liquids (standard IP55)
-
Higher insulation classes (standard Class F)
-
Protection such as heaters, PTC, PT100 (standard PTO)
-
Further customisation must be requested and agreed when ordering, after a feasibility appraisal by the Technical Department.
ATTENTION !
For maintenance of special version machines, contact FPZ.
