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

4.1 Routine maintenance

For best performances of the aftercooler the following maintenance program is recommended:
•
•
Check the lubricating oil level and the cleaning of the air filter on FRL group.
•
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. Connect the machine pneumatic motor as shown on chap. 6.0 . 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.
Weekly, check the regular condensate discharge. The pneumatic parts must be checked every
week.
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 pneumatic supply).
Every six months, check the blades, replace if worn.
