Jorc Industrial Catalog - (Page 73) USEFUL TIPS USEFUL TIPS JORC products are designed to be applied in industrial applications. Please ensure that the installation and service engineers are fully qualified to work with our type of products. Various regulations and guidelines apply worldwide and might vary country by country. Typical application issues worth looking out for are: • Install a ball valve strainer in front of the unit. • Zero air loss drains can only be mounted in an upright position. • Incorrect installation can prevent air from escaping from the zero air loss drain’s condensate reservoir, causing a possible air -lock. • Ensure ALL inlet pipe work/ fittings have a minimum internal diameter of 10 mm or greater to help prevent air - locking. • One drain is required for each system component (compressor, dryer, filter etc.) • Only use the correct threaded adapters. Some recommendations are: • Make sure that no solid matter (e.g. sealing compound residue) gets into the condensate drain during the installation. • Make sure that the pipeline is thoroughly clean. • Use quality sealing compound only! • Use a proper tools for fixing the drains to your pipe work! • Never use the drain (or part of it) as a lever to tighten. • Ensure inlet pipe work / fittings are vertical to prevent air locking. • Clean electrical power supply helps the condensate drain to perform according to its specification. CONDENSATE DISPOSAL • Condensate produced by the compressed air system should be disposed of in a responsible manner and in accordance with laws and regulations that prevail at the point of installation. • The JORC condensate cleaner has been specially developed to separate oil from condensate extracted from compressed air systems and is effective with all types and makes of compressors, oils and drain valves. • We suggest you install a JORC Condensate Cleaner in all compressed air systems. Please consult JORC for further details.
