Machine location and ventilation
To ensure proper ventilation, locate the load frame approximately 300 mm
(12 inches) from adjacent walls and equipment. Allow approximately 1 m
(3 feet) behind the equipment for service access. Do not block the vent
holes in the bottom of the machine.
For comfortable working conditions and proper equipment operation, heat
dissipation of the equipment must be considered in providing adequate
heating or air conditioning in the laboratory area. Heat dissipation can be
approximated by summing the heat losses going into a room (1 kVA is
equivalent to 860 kcal/hr [3,400 Btu/hr]) and the gains from other sources
such as furnaces and personnel.
