3 Installation
3.1 General remarks
When installing the filter, keep in mind the following:
• Be sure that the piping is internally clean, especially downstream of the filter.
• Sizing of filter should be done carefully, taking into account the application requirements.
Maximum flow capacity, as listed in Chapter 5.4 or 6.4 "Rated flow at reference conditions",
should never be exceeded to make sure that filtration performance and filter lifetime are
guaranteed.
• Take into account the flow direction mentioned on the filter service indicator with an arrow:
• The filters must be mounted vertically:
• If the unit is integrated in a multiple line system, provide isolating valves and (if required) a
bypass.
• The automatic drain has a threaded connection allowing easy installation of a hose or a
quick coupling to pipe away the drained liquid. This drained liquid should be fed into a non-
pressurized vessel or drain pipe. In case two filters are installed next to each other, the drain
pipe length per filter should be at least 2 meters before connecting them together. The pipe
diameter of the collector should be at least twice the diameter of the pipes connected to the
filter drain.
• Open and close isolating valves slowly, as a sudden pressure rise or pressure drop can
cause irreversible damage to the filter element.
