Chapter 3: Installation
3-1 Installation Location Considerations
MICRO Series systems are portable and can be installed almost anywhere. As
with all equipment installations, follow all applicable codes and regulations.
; The recommended ambient temperature range for MICRO Series
installations is from +14ºF (-10ºC) to a maximum operating ambient
temperature of 131
°F (55ºC). Recommended ambient storage temperature
range is from -13ºF to 149ºF
(-25ºC to 65ºC). If storing the unit below freezing temperatures, make sure
the unit has an anti-freeze mixture circulated inside.
; Provide a minimum of twelve inches (12” or about 30 cm) clearance on all
sides of the cabinet to allow circulation of cooling air.
; Locate the unit as close to the process as practical.
3-2 Process Approach Temperature Considerations
If the differential (U) between COOLING WATER IN and TO PROCESS
temperatures is less than 10
°F (7ºC), consult our Sales Department for advice on
how to control low approach applications.
3-3 External Piping Sizing Considerations
; All external hose and piping should be adequately sized to assure minimum
external pressure drop.
; Low external piping pressure drop is needed for best operation.
Note: Use a backup wrench to support MICRO Series system piping
when making process piping connections.
!
CAUTION
All external valves, fittings, and hoses must be rated at a minimum of
150 psig and 250
°F (1,034.25 kPa/10.34 bars and 121ºC).
