HX-unit floor, all instruments are placed in the primary circuit. Therefore the temperature and flow monitoring in the secondary circuit is the responsibility of the customer and/or end-user. Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...
Keeping the temperature as high as possible in the primary circuit, with regards to the type and load of the main drive, lowers the risk of condensation inside the drive cubicle. Figure 4.2-4 Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...
It can also be used to get a pressure reference value if the pressure transmitter is thought to be malfunctioning. Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...

If corrosion inhibitors are used they can be mixed, in the right amount, with the water in the barrel. • Depending on the system size there has to be 20-200 litres of liquid in the barrel. Figure 5.1-11 Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...

The pre-pressure in the primary circuit should be set to 1.5 bar. During operation the pre-pressure should be between 1.0 to 1.5 bar. If the pre-pressure is reduced to below 1.0 bar during operation -pressure is below 0.5 bar. Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...

This is useful for testing and commissioning purposes because all shutoffs are also deactivated during these 30 seconds. The value, 169, will deactivate the attempt to change the pump and should be used when operating the HXL040 or HXL120.

Adjusting the FTSA11 flow switch: 1. Turn the pump power switch (the black and white switch in Figure 4.2-7) connect the power to the HX-unit. This will activate the FTSA11. Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...

The primary circuit temperature is individual for every project. Here are three examples that show how the primary circuit temperature is calculated depending on which of the three above-mentioned factors is the deciding one: Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...

RH from 80% to 50%, by using a humidity remover, will allow the primary circuit temperature to be set to 30C therefore allowing the main drives to be run at full load. Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...

Ambient temperature = 30C Maximum relative humidity = 95% Because the ambient temperature is beneath the primary circuit temperature there is no risk of condensation in the main drive. Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...

9. Wait for 5 min. and open the manual de-airing valve V162 to let out any air that might have been stuck in the pump housing. 10. Add water to get the pressure back up to 1.5 bars. Then start the pump again and leave it running. Local contacts: http:/ / dr ives.danfoss.com/ danfoss- dr ives/ local - contacts/...
