Insulation
The SEP4™ comes standard with a preformed insulation shell. Theinsulation is made of a shell in
closed-cell expanded PE-X foam. This insulation ensures not only perfect heat insulation but also the
tightness required to prevent atmospheric water vapors from entering the unit. Forthese reasons,
this type of insulation can also be used in cooling water circuits, as it prevents the formation of con-
densate on the surface of theseparatorbody.
Procedure for installation and insulation assembly
1. Remove the two black head covers at the ends.
2. Open the two side sections.
3. Install the separator in the system.
4. For cooling applications, consider using a silicon caulk or sealant
by spreading a thin layer of sealant over the surfaces A and B. Wait
for solvent to evaporate (approx. 10 minutes). Note that once the
sealant dries it may be difficult to remove the insulation shell in the
future without destroying portions of the insulation.
5. Reassemble the two side sections.
6. Finish the assembly with adhesive tape (not supplied).
7. Complete by assembling back in place the two black head covers.

Hydraulic characteristics
The SEP4™ should be sized according to the maximum flow rate at the inlet. The selected value is
the primary circuit flow rate, or secondary circuit flow rate, whichever is largest.
