3.0 INSTALLATION

3.1 Foundation

Where the installation of the aftercooler is concerned, no special foundation is needed.
A solid and flat horizontal surface will do for this purpose.
It is important that enough free space is left around the unit in order to allow enough air circulation and thus the proper
cooling.
Furthermore, the ambient air should be free from pollution or flammable gases and vapors, this being a serious fire
hazard with fire and explosion risks.
The ambient temperatures should not be lower than + 2 °C or higher than + 45 °C.
More over the unit should be placed in a room away from direct sunlight, rain and with proper ventilation.
The air must be free from smoke or flammable vapors which would involve the risk of explosion or fire.
3.2 Installation
With reference to the technical data, before proceeding with any operation, make sure that the air system pipes
are clean and free from any contaminating particle.

4.0 MAINTENANCE

For best performances of the aftercooler the following maintenance program is recommended:
a. After unpacking, arrange the air fittings as follow:
•
Mount the air fittings where indicated by the "air inlet" and "air outlet" stickers;
•
Close the other air points with hermetic screw plugs.
b. Fix the "legs" of the heat exchanger using the supplied material.
c. Mount the condensate separator at the air outlet point.
d. Connect the aftercooler to the air system according to one of the examples shown on chap. 7.0 by
following the symbols of the stickers explained on par. 1.5.
e. Cable the machine as shown on chap. 6.0 (electrical wiring diagrams). This operation must be
performed by qualified personnel.
f. Connect the condensate discharge pipe to the drainage system according to local regulation. It is
forbidden to discharge the condensate directly into the water system therefore it is recommended to
install a water-oil separator for the treatment of the condensate.
g. Make sure that voltage and frequency of the electric network are steady and in compliance with data
on the machine plate; the electrical connection must be performed according to local regulation.
•
Weekly, check the regular condensate discharge.
•
Monthly, depending on the quality of the ambient air and however at the beginning of the hot season,
the radiant heat exchanger should be cleaned with compressed air and, if necessary, wash the finned
block to eliminate dirt deposits (this must be done after the ventilator motor is disconnected from the
power supply).
•
Every 4/6 months, check that the power consumption of the ventilator matches the standard values
on its label.
