Shipping
The oil separator must be blanked off and primed on delivery. The primer is not intended for out-
door storage. If the oil separator is not put into immediate service, take precautions against cor-
rosion or contamination.
Only lift the oil separator when it is empty, and make sure it is not subjected to strokes or bumps
during transport. When lifting the oil separator before it is built into the unit, always use straps
around the shell.
The weight is stated in the technical data.
A shipping description can be made when the oil separator is built together with the unit.
Installation
The site and personal protection must be in accordance with EN 378-3 or national requirements.
Check the oil separator immediately upon receipt for any damage occurred during transport. If
the oil separator is damaged, the unit must not be installed and started. When placing the oil sep-
arator, make sure to leave enough space for inspection, maintenance, escape and emergency.
Foundations must be sufficiently robust as their purpose is to provide permanent support without
settling and to absorb any normal vibrations from outside causes.
The OVUR oil separator is for vertical installation.
Blanked off branches must be cut off at the cutting groove depending on metal thickness on ad-
joining tubes. Make sure that no impurities get into the oil separator during installation.
Do not remove protective plugs and covers until immediately before installation.
The entire system must be clean before starting operation. Under certain conditions, it may be re-
quired to use strainers in the piping.
When fitting the tube connections, make sure that the load from the piping on the connections is
kept small and insignificant as the vessel is not designed to be an anchor point in the piping sys-
tem. Vibrations must be minimised, possibly by means of a vibration damper.
Apart from branch connections, welding must not be carried out on the oil separator.
The oil separator must be secured against exceeding the allowable pressures and temperatures.
All outer surfaces must have a corrosion resistant surface coating to allow the oil separator to be
installed in certain environments without it causing corrosion.
