Rigging, Lifting, and Moving the
Chiller/Heat Pump
The Thermafit™ modular water-cooled MWC and WXM
chiller/heat pump can be delivered to the customer's site as
individual modules. Limitations on the methods and
materials that can be used to rig, lift, or move a chiller/heat
pump system or an individual module include:
•
Maintain the module in an upright position at all times.
•
Certain configurations of modules can be top-heavy.
Move modules slowly with consideration for each
module's center-of-gravity.
•
Rig, lift, and move by strapping and lifting using a
properly configured floor jack or fork lift or by overhead
means.
•
Position lifting beams or spreader beams to prevent
lifting straps from rubbing or contacting module side
panels or electrical boxes. Attach rigging bar on each
end of module where 1 3/8-inch holes are provided.
•
Do not use cables, chains, or any other type of
metalized strapping to lift a module.
•
Do not push a chiller/heat pump module while directly
in contact with the floor using manual or mechanical
means.
