COMMISSIONING/ START-UP PROCEDURE
Caution
: The heat exchanger return flow is over 40 l/min. This flow must not
be restricted.
Caution
: The unit should be run in open air with any compartment doors open
and the containment drawer ideally pulled out to improve ambient airflow.
1. Follow the installation procedure in the previous section.
2. Supply the MiniCAFS with water at a pressure of 4-10 BAR.
3. Make sure that an adequate foam supply is available (i.e. foam tank is full).
4. Connect a suitable delivery hose and branch to the MiniCAFS discharge.
φ38 to φ45mm diameter layflat hose is suitable for delivering CAFS. If a single
discharge is being used, a
φ25 to φ38mm smooth bore nozzle would be suitable. If two
delivery hoses are to be deployed, then two φ19 nozzles would be appropriate.
Note
: The engine should be run at full speed. The compressor pressure and load is
changed but the engine throttle will remain in the fast position.
