Advice On Pipe Work And Detector Installation - Quality Monitoring Instruments QMI MULTIPLEX Manual

ADVICE ON PIPE WORK AND DETECTOR
INSTALLATION
1 The Detectors are mounted upright - see drawing QMI-05-1099 Part 2-8
Make sure the Detectors are mounted on the down side of the engine
2
rotation - see drawing QMI-05-1099 Part 2-8
The Baffles must be mounted vertically so that oil does not become trapped in
3
the Baffle.
Please ensure:
- There is enough pipework outside the engine to knock out any droplets of
oil that have passed the baffle
- All pipes are either vertical or horizontal so that no oil traps are formed
- A ball valve is placed in the pipework just before the fan to control the air
flow through the Detectors
4
The pipework after the fan should return to either the breather or
-
crankspace so the pressure is equalised. See Part 2-4 and 2-5. If the
engine has a fan in the breather pipe, we suggest you take the QMI
exhaust pipe to the breather making sure a ball valve is installed to control
the air flow through the QMI Detector - see Part 2-5
- Make sure the pipework is not under stress
IMPORTANT NOTES:
IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT NEITHER THE DETECTORS NOR THE
FANS ARE BRACKETED TO THE ENGINE
5
THE DETECTORS AND FANS SHOULD BE SUSPENDED ON
PIPEWORK THAT IS BRACKETED TO THE ENGINE – see schematic on
Part 2-6 and 2-7.
