GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!
The 'SCL K' blowers - exhausters have been designed
and manufactured
environment, operated by qualified personnel and as a
unit to be incorporated in a machine, which conforms
to the CE Machinery Directive.
The 'SCL K' blowers - exhausters, like all machinery
and equipment with live and moving parts, can be a
source of serious hazards unless properly used and
protected.
The user is committed to ensure that:
All handling, assembly,
maintenance and repair operations are undertaken by
qualified personnel. Such people who by their
background, training and experience as well as
through their knowledge of statutory regulations,
legislation, safety measures and operating conditions
are able to carry out any necessary steps avoiding all
possible risks to health and damage.
Such personnel should have received all the instructions and
information, including any local legislation, and will follow them
during the performance of any operation.
It shall be forbidden for unqualified personnel to carry out any
operation, even indirectly, on the machines and equipment.
During the installation, all the prescribed working conditions,
including any possible local requirements, shall be observed.
Additionally it is forbidden to put the unit in service before the
machines of which they are a part are declared to conform to the
CE Machinery Directive.
The user must be aware that in operation:
•
the surface temperatures can reach 160°C;
•
the unit cannot contain high internal pressures, no greater
than Ps max referred to in PERFORMANCE TABLE - page 3;
•
there is small loss of the fluid handled;
•
the level of noise may be unacceptable in certain applications.
1.1

CONDITIONS OF USE

The 'SCL K' blowers - exhausters are designed for the continuous
movement of air or non-explosive, non-hazardous and non-flammable
gases and for service in non-explosive environments.
Solid particles, however small, including dirt can cause serious
damage; therefore it is essential that such substances should be
removed from the gas by suitable filters upstream of the inlet. (Units
which do not have an adequate filter ARE NOT COVERED BY THE
GUARANTEE).
The maximum driving pressure must never be exceeded (Maximum
differential pressure of PERFORMANCE TABLE - page 3).
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES OPERATE THE UNIT WITH THE GAS
INLET OR OUTLET CLOSED. IN PARTICULAR THIS APPLIES TO
THE UNITS WITH THE CAPACITY FOR HIGHER DRIVING
PRESSURES.
Protect the units with an appropriate safety valve.
The performance characteristics are liable to variations due to the
following factors:
•
Differences of the suction or discharge pressures from the
reference conditions (1013 mbar);
•
Operation in a system with both a low suction pressure and a high
back pressure;
•
Operation with a gas at a different temperature or of a different
specific gravity from the reference data (1.23 kg/m
•
Variations in the rotational velocity of the fan with respect to the
reference value.
for use in an industrial

installation,

connection,
3
; 15 °C);
Both the gas inlet temperature and the ambient temperature must be in
the range of -15°C to +40°C.
At the same time, ensure that the unit has good ambient ventilation,
especially when subjected to severe operating conditions.
A unit subjected to frequent starting or to high ambient temperatures
may be prone to overheating and in such cases further information
should be requested.
Similarly, where flammable gases may be present, information must be
requested for alternative models certified for the Ex. environment.
1.2

STORAGE AND SHIPPING

Store the unit in a dry place, preferably in original packaging.
Do not remove the protection plugs from the ports.
Avoid stacking anything on top of the packaging.
To move the packed boxes, use the largest pallet or support base
possible to obtain the maximum stability.
On all occasions handle the units with care and avoid sudden impacts.
When handling units (lifting, moving, in transit, storing)
appropriate procedures need to be used. This work should be
organized in a safe / secure environment, minimizing the risk of
any possible mishap. For example:
- insure staff is adequately trained;
- use secure / stable mounting/support structures;
- wear suitable workclothes and individual protection devices;
- a work area having suffecient room, flat surfaces, with no
obstacles.
Units with weights greater than 25kg (55lbs.) are supplied with
an eye-hook for pick up.
(The weight of the unit is M in PERFORMANCE TABLE - page 3).
1.3 INSTALLATION
1.3.1 'SCL K' BLOWER - EXHAUSTER
It is important that the unit is installed in a well-ventilated environment
where the temperature does not exceed 40°C.
If outside, protect the unit from direct sunlight and avoid the possibility
of water collecting in the external crevices especially when installed
with the axis vertical.
IMPORTANT!
Ingress of foreign matter, however small, will cause serious damage.
Such matter includes dust, sand, masonry debris, impurities in the
tubes, cutting burrs or filings, welding or soldering slag and splatter,
metal burrs and any residues from sealing and making the tube
connections.
The unit can be mounted with the axis in any position.
ATTENTION !!
If the machine is placed in service without properly securing, the
machine could move suddenly due to motor torque on start-up and
possibly tip over.
Placing the unit in service should not take place without the unit fixed
to a structure or support system providing adequate stability.
These precautions need to be implemented to avoid serious damage
to the unit and possible personal injuries.
To connect the machine to the piping, remove the flanges and connect
using flexible hoses. Do not use rigid connections as these may cause
stress and harmful vibrations. Insert gaskets and tighten.
Remember to protect the inlet with suitable filters.
If it is necessary to regulate the flow, install a bypass valve (refer to
section 1.5).
Only remove the plugs on the ports when making the final connections.
