Proper Installation - TLV DC7 Manuel D'utilisation

4. Proper Installation

CAUTION
1. Before installation, be sure to remove all protective seals from the product.
2. Install the separator at the point on the piping where condensate is generated and the
separation of condensate will have the greatest effect on efficiency. For example, on a main
or branch at the inlet of equipment requiring high-quality dry steam or air.
3. Before installing the separator, blow out the inlet piping to remove any piping scraps, dirt and
oil. Close the inlet valve after blowdown.
4. Install the separator so the arrow on the product is pointing in the direction of steam or air flow.
5. The separator should be inclined no more than 10˚ horizontally and front-to-back as shown
below
6. Install a steam trap or an air trap at the condensate outlet. Use of the TLV Free Float type trap
is advised.
7. Open the inlet valve and outlet valves and check to make sure that the separator functions
properly.
5. Troubleshooting
If the expected performance is unachievable after installation of the separator, read chapter
4. Proper Installation again and check the following points to take appropriate corrective
measures.
Problem
Condensate is mixed in
with the steam or air
from the separator outlet
• Installation, inspection, maintenance, repairs, disassembly, adjustment
and valve opening/closing should be carried out only by trained
maintenance personnel.
• Take measures to prevent people from coming into direct contact with
product outlets.
• Install for use under conditions in which no freeze-up will occur.
• Install for use under conditions in which no water hammer will occur.
Allowable Inclination
Cause
Flow velocity is too
high
Improper installation
Compare the specifications and actual
operating conditions, and take steps
necessary to lower the flow velocity
Correct the installation
