Connect the customer-supplied supply and drain lines according to the information in the dimensioned drawing. Steam, condensate, compressed air and water must be equipped with stop valves. Follow DIN 1988 when connecting the water. To avoid transmission of structure-borne noise, you can connect the pipelines with a spacer of flexible metal tubing and insulate the pipe holders.

7.2.1 Steam

Install the wiring system and connections in such a way that they are insulated. Operating pressure 4 - 5 bar (58 - 72.5 psi) saturated steam.

If the admission pressure is more than 5 bar (72.5 psi), build in a reducing valve with pressure gauge and safety valve.

7.2.3 Cooling Water Supply

7.2.3.1 Mains water supply

The cross-sections of the lines to the machine should not get smaller and should be without bends and curves, if possible. The heat balance of the machine has been optimally designed for cooling water with an inlet temperature of 12 °C (53.6 °F) and uniform pressure of 2 - 4 bar (29 - 58 psi). (Minimum pressure 2.0 bar (29 psi), maximum pressure 6.0 bar (87 psi)

A manually operated stop valve should be fitted. Peak cooling water demand 2 - 4 bar (29 - 58 psi) (12 °C/53.6 °F): M12, M15, M18

According to DIN 1988, a water flowback stop and venting device must be installed on machines in the Federal Republic of Germany.

7.2.3.2 Cooling Tower Operation

For cooling tower or recooling operation, the nominal width of the feeding and drain lines must be dimensioned to be larger than the nominal width of the circulation pump or must be dimensioned according to the pump.

Inlet temperatures are not allowed to exceed 24 °C/ (75.2 °F) because otherwise the solvent consumption increases and the drying times are also longer.

Cooling water inlet temperatures that are too high can also overload the refrigeration unit. The water pressure must be adapted to the high inlet temperature, up to double the peak demand. In cooling tower or recooling operation, correct installation is especially important.

Consequently, some of the things that must be kept in mind are the cooler capacity, mains water supply switch-over, stored cooling capacity, pump size and cooling water by-pass.

The cooling water regulator (water economizer valve) for the machine and distillation system must be corrected or avoided with a bypass (manual valve) (= continuous water flow).

The cooling water supply or the backfeeding to the recooling unit must come from the mains water system or from a soft water system.

7.2.4 Cooling Water Outlet

The cooling water leaving the system can be directed to the sewer system, reused and recooled because it circulates through the machine in a closed system and does not come into contact with the solvent. You should endeavor to reuse the cooling water.

7.2.5 Compressed Air

The operating pressure is 6 bar (87 psi). The machine is equipped with a compressed air reducing valve, pressure gauge and compressed air water separator. The line pressure should be 10 - 12 bar (145 - 174 psi).

7.2.6 Process Water

Empty the process water collecting tank daily. Dispose of the contents according to the regulations for your country.

7.3.2 Control of Room Ventilation

If there is already a room ventilation system, you can couple the automatic machine actions with the ventilation system.

In this case, the machine starts only when the room ventilation has been turned on. Recommendation for renewing the room air:

The room ventilation must be sufficient to meet the requirements for your country. Example: BGR 500 chapter 2.14 The minimum requirement for renewing the room air is achieved when the dissipated amount of

air in m3 /h is equal to 60 times the numerical value of the standard loaded amount in garments in kg. The air renewal rate can be limited to 5 per hour if the calculation results in a larger numerical value.
