Condensate drain
NOTE
Condensate flowing back into the switch cabinet can damage the electronics
Internal temperatures below the dew point or damaged switch cabinet seals cause excessive accumulation of
condensate.
Regular inspection of the seals assures protection against heavy condensate accumulation.
Mount condensate drain hose free of bends and don't reduce hose cross-section.
Only mount the condensate drain hose with a downward gradient.
CAUTION
Danger of slipping due to improperly connected condensate drain
Condensate flowing away freely or improper condensate drains can form water puddles and present danger of
slipping.
Collect accumulating condensate in a condensate collecting bottle.
Use pressure-resistant (>10 bar), elastic hoses and regularly check connection seals.
Install condensate drain
Requirements
-
Air/ water heat exchanger is assembled and de-energized.
-
Cooling water connections have been installed.
Required tools and material
-
Installation tool, pressure-resistant (>10 bar) hoses, hose clamps
Procedure
Attach pressure-resistant, elastic hoses (>10 bar) to the pipe end (1) projecting out of the unit.
Secure condensate drain hose with hose clamps.
Attach condensate drain bottle, see Ordering
Check seal of all connections.
Condensate drain is installed.
Avoiding excessive accumulation of condensate:
Adjust cooling water temperature to the necessary cooling capacity.
Only use unit with sealed switch cabinets and housings.
Set rated temperature as low as possible, but avoid falling below the dew point.
Installation of a door contact switch reduces the accumulation of condensate when the switch cabinet is open.
