INSTALLATION – OPERATING - MAINTENANCE
4. Installation
4.1. Foundation / Base frame
Before positioning the housing module, the foundation and base
frame must be checked for stability and a secure seating of all
threaded connections. The support surface must be flat. Tolerance
to the horizontal max. 0.5%. Deflection of steel construction max.
1/1000 of the beam length. Irregularities can result in door-
twisting, leading to possible leaks and surface abrasion.
The support surface must be level, in order that draining of the heat
exchanger and tanks are warranted.
Prior to positioning, the foundation and base frame must be cleaned
and free of ice.
Position the equipment on a level and secure foundation.
Irregularities must be compensated for with appropriate base
supports.
The foundation surface should correspond to the equipment size. If
a strip foundation (concrete or steel beam) is used, the equipment
must be supported on the outer equipment frame. The minimum
support width is 55mm. In the case of strip foundations from a
device width of 2.0 m, cross beams or longitudinal beams are also
required at the start and end of the device and at the component
separation points. Supporting point spacing between the equipment
and the foundation should be maintained to a max. 1.2 m in length
and width, while a max. equipment floor loading of 100 kg/m²
should be heeded.
When determining the height of the foundation, the required siphon
height must be considered.
Freedom of movement of the doors, removability of assembly
elements and the fault-free sealing of assembly connections
depends upon exact alignment of the assembly.
Equipment must be protected against construction dust and
contaminants, as well as damage until commissioning!
When equipment pieces are standing next to each other, their
foundation must also be supported at the midsection!
4.2. Equipment installation
Accessibility for repair and service work must be warranted.
In addition, the pivot range of the doors must be kept clear; there
must not be any obstacles, such as cable or pipes, installed in front
of removable panels. The unit must be precisely aligned horizontally
and vertically with shims.
The equipment must be aligned horizontally and vertically by means
of base supports.
The dirt and soiling arising during transport, setup and installation
(especially drilling chips) must be removed as soon as possible.
We also recommend cleaning the interior prior to commissioning.
External installation
If a roof connecting frame is available, one should ensure that it is
insulated since condensation may occur.
The climate control unit in its weatherproof design is not a
replacement for a roof!
Roof framing and weatherproof equipment are not a substitute for
roofing!
External component impact points are to be caulked with the
durable elastic and weather resistant sealing compound as provided.
For roof units (weather resistant model), an additional tin roof, rain
covering will be provided.
Assembly of the rain covering will be carried out at the factory.
Larger pieces of equipment will be only pre-assembled, but must be
bolted together and weather stripped on-site.
Weather stripping will be carried out as follows:
Tape the sealing strip to the rain roof flange, caulk the durable
elastic sealing compound and cover with the loose profiles as
delivered. The covering profile is to be subsequently bolted to the
rain roof flange.
If the paint finish is damaged during installation, this must be
touched up.
Depending on the wind load, the air conditioner is safe and
structure-borne noise is decoupled when connected to the
substructure.
