WHASP Tank location guidelines
When determining a mounting location for the WHASP Tank, ensure
the following conditions are met:
•
Adequate supply of fresh air and venting for the cooling fan.
•
Minimum of 12 in of clearance at the front of the cooling fan.
•
Minimum of 6 in clearance at the rear of the unit.
•
Hose connections and wiring are accessible.
•
Mounted on a level surface.
•
Impact protection.
•
The oil level sight glass is easily accessible.
•
The oil fill and drain ports are accessible for servicing.
•
Minimize the hose lengths to maximize performance.
Mounting the WHASP Tank
Refer to (Figure 20) for mounting dimensions.
Special consideration must be made to ensure the WHASP Tank will be protected
from damage and to ensure that it has adequate ventilation.
In some cases, it may be necessary to fabricate a mounting bracket to position the
tank in an appropriate location.
Secure the WHASP Tank by bolting the mounting feet to the installation surface,
use M8 or 5/16 in fasteners (not supplied).
Mounting in an Enclosure or Body
Mounting the WHASP Tank in an enclosure will limit access to cooling air or restrict
the escape of hot air from around the unit and will have an adverse effect on
cooling.
Ensure adequate ventilation is provided for the cooling system to function properly.
It is not possible to make absolute recommendations regarding ventilation because
of the widely differing configurations that are possible. Duty cycle, ambient
temperature and enclosure shape are some of the important variables that need
to be taken into account when determining the suitability of enclosure mounting.
Cool air ducted to the cooler and installing an exhaust fan to remove hot air is
recommended.
Confirm the hose lengths included in this kit when determining the
location of the WHASP Tank and bulkhead fittings. Hose lengths
can be found in the Illustrated Parts List (IPL). If the WHASP Tank
or bulkhead fitting location requires longer hoses, contact a local
VMAC dealer. See page 6 for ordering information .
