Operating instructions

INSTALLATION
3-4 01 Mar 12
ACD-1500Degasser
Positioning and Mounting
Position the degasser with sufficient space around unit to allow access to various components by
operators and maintenance personnel. Approximately 2’ to 3’ (610mm to 914mm) space is
required on all four sides of the equipment. The recommended installation is to weld rails close to
the degasser to “trap” the machine in place. The degasser should not be welded to the tank as
this installation will prevent access to the pump.
Typical operation and maintenance functions include the following activities:
• Removing the access panels
• Greasing drive shaft bearings
• Connection of exhaust line
• Access to electrical control panel
Leveling
For proper operation, the degasser must be properly leveled along its length and width (Figure 3-
2). A 4’ (1219mm) level is recommended. Shim the equipment as required to level the unit.
