Page 15: Installation Procedure Evaporative Module
4.2.2 Installation procedure evaporative module WARNING! A full risk assessment must be completed by suitably trained personnel prior to installing the ME unit. There may be increased risk when installing systems that necessitate working at height. The following risks should be considered (this list is not exhaustive, and there may be additional site specific risks that will need to be considered): –... - Page 16 1. Mounting the tank upstands to the tank: • Mounting the tank upstands supplied by Condair: fix tank upstands to the tank as shown in the figure below using the nuts (M8, AF: 13 mm) and washers supplied. Fig. 5: Mounting the tank upstands to the tank...
- Page 17 2. Mounting the tank: • Insert the tank into the AHU/air duct. WARNING! Use an appropriate lifting device or handle the tank with the help of another person to posi- tion it inside the duct. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that operators are trained in handling heavy goods and to enforce the relevant lifting regulations.
- Page 18 3. Fix frame to the tank: • Fix the vertical supports to the tank using the nyloc nuts (M6, AF: 10 mm) and M6 washers. Then, align the vertical supports exactly vertical using a level and tighten the nuts. • Fix the cross member to the vertical supports using the nyloc nuts (M6, AF: 10 mm) and M6 washers.
- Page 19 4. Fix cross member of frame to AHU/duct ceiling: • Fix the cross member to the AHU/duct ceiling using appropriate fixings (supplied as part of the installation kit). Before tightening the screws (not supplied) align the vertical supports exactly vertical using a level. WARNING! If the cross member is not secured to the AHU/duct ceiling there is a risk that the evaporative module could fall over, potentially causing injury or damage.

- Page 21 6. Mounting the crossbar: • This step must be carried out only on larger systems to prevent bending of the crossbar: Fix the supplied crossbar support(s) to the tank using the M6 cross-head bolt and the two stop nuts (M8, AF: 13 mm) according to the figure below. Fig.
- Page 22 • Put the cross bar on the corresponding cross bar bracket with a distance of "A" to the vertical support (see table below). The cross bar should be positioned so that the evaporative cassettes sit on the edge of the cross bar, and the slots in the side of the cross bar should face the air-off side of the evaporative module as shown below.
- Page 23 7. Mount distribution head assembly to the topmost evaporative cassettes: Note: The topmost evaporative cassettes will be the ones that are shortest (vertically). • Mount the appropriate distribution cassettes onto the corresponding evaporative cassettes, by hooking the return on the underside of the distribution cassette under the top strut of the evapo- rative cassette.
- Page 24 8. Mount evaporative cassettes: Note: to avoid damage to the evaporative cassettes during transit, we recommend that the evapo- rative cassettes are fitted on site. • Before installing the evaporative cassettes sweep the interior of the tank. • Starting with the tallest evaporative cassettes on the bottom and working up to the shortest evaporative cassette on the top, hook the cassettes into the vertical supports.

- Page 27 9c. Mounting the separator cassette banks: • Hook the lower separator brackets into the cross bar. • Then, starting on one side mount one separator bank after the other onto the lower separator brackets. Align with the evaporative cassette metalwork and ensure the framework of the droplet separator fits around that of the evaporative cassettes.

Page 31: Mounting The Wall Feed Through Plates
Mounting the wall feed through plates 1. Push out or pierce the centre of grommets that will have pipes or cable passing through them. Large grommets are for pipe work, and small grommets are for cables. Note: on feed through plates for use with externally installed hydraulics the large grommets are spaced to match the stage pipe spacing on the hydraulic manifold. - Page 32 3. Drill holes through the AHU wall for the pipes and cables. Holes should be as small as possible for the pipe or cable passing through them, and no larger than ø12 mm (ø0.47") for the (small) cable grommets, and ø20 mm (ø0.79") for the (large) pipe work grommets. Fig.
