Due to its reusable
connection technology, Transair is the only pipe distribution
system for fluids that is able to be quickly installed
and adapted. The modular design enables disassembly when
required unlike other connection technologies that are
permanently crimpled or welded.
General: Prior
to the installation
of a Transair cooling water distribution system, the
installer should
ensure that
the installation area complies with any regulations applicable
to areas exposed to explosive
hazards (in
particular
the effect of static electricity in a silo area). When
maintaining or modifying a Transair
system, the
relevant section
should be purged prior to the commencement of any work.
Installers should use only
Transair components
and accessories,
in particular Transair pipe clips and fixture clamps.
The technical properties
of the Transair
components,
as described in the Transair cataloge, must be respected.
2.
Commissioning the installation:Once
the Transair installation has been installed and prior
to commissioning, the installer should complete all tests,
inspections and compliance checks as stated in any contract
and according to sound engineering practice and current
local regulations.
3.
Transair pipe and hoses: Transair
pipe should be protected from mechanical impact, particularly
if exposed to collision with fork-lift trucks or when
sited in an environment with moving overhead loads. Similarly,
rotation of the pipe and pipe supports should be avoided.Transair
pipe must not be welded. Note: In certain situations,
Transair stainless steel pipe may be formed with a bend
- please contact us for further information.
4.
Component assembly: Transair
components are provided with assembly instructions for
their correct use - simply follow the methods and recommendations
stated in this document or separate data sheets.
5.
Transair installations
- situations to avoid:
installation within a solid
mass (concrete, foam, etc.), especially underground
the
suspension
of any external
equipment
from Transair
pipe
the
use of Transair
for earthing,
or as a support
for electrical
equipment
exposure
to chemicals
that are
incompatible
with Transair
components
(please contact
us for further
details).
6.
Keep in mind:
When installing a Transair system,
work should be completed in accordance with sound engineering
practice.
Maintain a consistent level of
good quality fluid
Diameter of the pipe will influence
pressure drop and the operation of point-of-use equipment.
Select the diameter according
to the required flow rate and acceptable pressure drop
at the point of use.
Never encase the network in a
hard solid mass, in order to facilitate maintenance
or servicing.
Position drops and feeds to take-off
points as close as possible to the point of use.
