3.4 Installation position and flow direction
Installation in the vertical or horizontal
position, not upside down.
Install the QA/QAe in the flow direction
from top to bottom for gases that tend
to condensate. Use a condensate drain
in the pipeline.
If a threaded version quantometer is
used for flow control purposes (E200 as
a
pulse
output),
QA/QAe...G I in a horizontal position with the index at the top (index not
tilted downwards).
When measuring the surrounding air and/or if the flowing gas is
contaminated by foreign bodies and dust, a filter should be installed.
When designing new systems, it is recommended to install a strainer
(mesh size 0.5 mm) immediately upstream of the meter to protect it from
foreign bodies such as metal chips. The strainer should be removed after
4 weeks at the latest.
If the flowing gas is contaminated by condensation or dirt, the
quantometer should not be installed at the lowest point of the pipe.
Install the quantometer in a straight
pipeline.
Inlet section = 3 x DN.
Outlet section = 2 x DN.
Use a pipeline with the same nominal
dimensions.
The pipe downstream of the quantometer must not have any restriction
point which could cause the flow to back up.
All approved flat seal types may be used.
Permanently high temperatures can reduce the service life.
Operate the quantometer in a shock-free, pulse-free and vibration-free
environment. Otherwise, the service life and measurement accuracy can
be adversely affected. Ensure the unit is installed free of mechanical
stress.
Ensure that the meter is aligned without any tension.
