COMBUSTION TUBE INSTALLATION
The first section or radiant tube downstream of the
burner is a heavy wall 16 Ga. heat-treated
aluminized steel tube. This tube is referred to as the
combustion tube. One end of this tube is swaged to
fit inside the next spiral radiant tube. The end that is
un-swaged is coupled to the burner assembly – see
page 9. It is necessary that the weld seam on this
combustion tube be positioned so that it is on the
bottom when installed.
This applies for both straight tube and “U” tube
systems. When the systems are mounted on a 30°
angle the weld seam should always be on the
bottom.
TUBE & REFLECTOR HANGING METHODS
The Serengeti-IR
™
system reflectors can be suspended
horizontally or at a 30° angle. The combination hanger is
designed so that the reflector angle will be horizontal when
suspended from the top loop or at a 30° angle when
suspended from the offset loop – see the illustration
below.
The panel hangers may also be suspended horizontally or
at a 30° angle – see illustration below
CUSTOMIZING SYSTEMS
A maximum of two 90° or four 45° elbows may be installed
after THE SECOND tube. The tube couplers that have
been factory installed will have to be removed to
accommodate the installation of any elbows. Any
additional elbows, radiant tube and reflector is optional
equipment.
DO NOT INSTALL OR JAM TURBULATORS IN
ELBOWS OR "U" BENDS. CONSULT YOUR
REPRESENTATIVE OR THE FACTORY FOR PROPER
INSTALLATION & GUIDANCE.
