5. Installer les générateurs de vapeur
AVERTISSEMENT: Risque d’endommagement du matériel. Laisser un minimum de 12″(30,5 cm)
de dégagement d’air autour des générateurs de vapeur en tout temps. Ceci fournit un espace pour
que la chaleur générée par le unités se dissipe.
AVIS: Pour obtenir une performance optimale, installer les générateurs de vapeur aussi près que possible
des têtes de vapeur. Les générateurs de vapeur doivent être installés à une distance maximale de 25’ (7,62
m) par rapport à la tête de vapeur.
Installer le plateau de drain souhaité à l’emplacement du générateur de vapeur.
IMPORTANT! Les blocs de support doivent être construits en matériau résistant à la chaleur.
Placer les blocs de support de manière à ce que les générateurs de vapeur aient un dégagement de
3/4″(1,9 cm) par rapport au plateau de drain.
Positionner le générateur de vapeur sur les blocs de support.
