INSTALLATION
Working place
Cooler must be installed in a position where the air is not impeded in its current either in come in and come out processes.
To optimize cooler’s thermal performance is better to avoid any recycle of hot air between outlet and inlet.
Indoor installation of the cooler
It’s indispensable to have a good air recycle in the room where the cooler is installed, in order to avoid warming of environment
air , decreasing, thus, the thermal performance of heat exchanger in general.
RAS cooling element is put in the upper side of the group, air comes out directly from the radiator core. In this way we avoid
to bother the worker by warm air flow.
Outdoor installation of the cooler
In this case, power-driven pump & electrical ventilator must be protected from bad weather conditions.
Put the group under the roof, in order to protect the cooler from direct rain.
During winter time, in case of long stand by, oil temperature inside the cooler decreases a lot and consequently the oil viscosity
increases considerably.
For a proper re-start up of the system and also to avoid any back pressure on the radiator, it’s possible to install (by User’s
concern) an oil thermostatic recycling system, so that oil temperature does not go under a certain minimum level.
When the place of installation is too dusty it causes the spoilage of radiator core which provokes decreasing of thermal
performances. This is why, in cases when RAS is installed in a place of high pollution, is necessary to keep clean the radiator
regularly (see maintenance section).
ASSEMBLING
Hydraulic system
SESINO’s self-contained RAS series must be connected with flexible hoses with BSPP connectors (possible with cutting
edge ring) to oil’s tank in order to keep cooled.
Suction hoses must have the same or bigger size than the cooler’s port; otherwise is possible to have cavitation problems
with noise level increase and bad pump performance.
For the above same reason and also to avoid an increase of Delta-P, it’s recommend to use straight hoses without tortuosity,
size reduction and so on.
With a self-filling gear pump, it’s possible to fit the cooler under the tank with a maximum height of 2 meters under the oil level.
Applying bigger height, pump could be cavitation problems.
Thermostatic probe connection
Thermostatic probe must be put inside the oil tank to maintain the temperature. It’s necessary to have a female ½” BSPP
port for a correct installation, where the probe itself will be afterwards be screw on.
Probe maximum length is 2 meters. Since the probe is pre-set, it’s not possible either to shorten or to make it longer, in order
not to influence device performances.
For bigger length (not standard) please consult our Technical Department.
