Installation
Mounting
• The set-up place for the equipment shall be dry and no exposed to weather with
enough air flowing to get adequate ventilation (A). The environment temperature
shall not exceed (104 °F).
• Use bolts to fix the equipment to a concrete base to prevent vibration (B). The
hydro pneumatic equipment shall be set horizontally to assure perfect functioning.
• The suction and pressure lines pipes shall be fastened to the wall or floor to prevent
voltage transmission to the hydro pneumatic equipment (C).
• Use care not to damage the hydro pneumatic equipment and / or pipes due to
excessive tightening of the joints.
• Use thread tape (Teflon) to seal all the joints. Leaks cause air entrance and hinder
the water outlet.
Suction Line (Input)
• The suction pipe diameter shall not be smaller than the water inlet of the hydro
pneumatic equipment. If the suction height exceeds 4 meters, use a pipe with larger
diameter.
• The suction pipe shall be completely hermetic. One side shall be submerged into
the water at least half-a -meter. There, install a foot-valve (D). The pipe elbows shall
bend 90° towards the hydro pneumatic water connection.
• The suction line shall be as short as possible because the suctioning capacity is lower
on a par with the line increase. The suction line shall go up regularly to the
equipment to prevent air pockets.
CAUTION
If these indications are not followed, there will be air blocks
and bubbles interfering with the hydro pneumatic performance.
When water is suctioned from a water storage tank set higher than the
equipment, the purge is automatic (the purge operation requires a
couple of minutes).
Pressure Line (Outlet)
• The outlet pipe shall have a gate valve (E) to set flow and pressure
speeds required.
• Set two check valves (F). One, between the pressurized water and the
gate valve. The other, between the water storage tank or cistern and the
water inlet.
