Measure the motor absorption and check compliance with the rated value.
12.3 STOPPING
The unit must be stopped by switching off the power supply to the motor.
In case of shutdown, make sure to operate the unit with the inlet open for about 20 minutes.
This operation allows the removal any condensate in the suction chamber.
13 MAINTENANCE
In order to prevent faults and damage it is important to periodically check the units in operation, therefore it is advisable to adopt a
maintenance plan in line with this Manual, providing for:
Periodical checks
Periodical maintenance and troubleshooting
13.1 PERIODICAL CHECKS
The units in operation should undergo periodical inspections by qualified personnel, in order to prevent failures that can directly or
indirectly cause damage.
A)
With the unit in operation periodically check the following parameters:
Delivery temperature
Operating pressure and/or vacuum
Electric motor current absorption
Vibration
State of the filter and corresponding pressure loss
Danger of burns caused by contact with hot surfaces of the unit!!
When in operation the blowers / exhausters can reach high surface temperatures.
Before carrying out any operation after shutdown wait at least 20 minutes for the unit to cool.
easurement of vibrations
The measurements for determining the vibration velocity [mm/s]
must be done with an electronic vibration meter, at the following
places:
Points P1 and P2 (front bearing): place the vibration
meter near the front bearing, adopting the highest
value.
Points P3 and P4 (rear bearing): place the vibration
meter on the electric motor casing near the bearing
housing (not on the fan cover), adopting the highest
value.
Legend:
Classification of machines:
Class I = SCL with electric motor of power ≤ 15kW
Appraisal zones:
Zone A = SCL with vibration (a) inside this zone they are considered acceptable for a
long-term duty.
Zone B = SCL vibration (a) inside this zone they are considered unsuitable for a
continuous long-term duty. The machine can be operated in these conditions for a
limited period, as long as there is the opportunity for a suitable corrective action.
Danger due to seizing of the impeller caused by excessive vibration!
Vibration values higher than Zone B (table of effective vibration velocity value) are considered NOT permissible and can cause
damage to the machine and therefore serious injury to operators.
- In case of noise and/or abnormal vibration indicating the possibility of seizing of the impeller, move away and turn the unit
off immediately!
