PowerCore

Dust Collectors – Series CPV

Mounting over aperture

1 Check that the aperture and fixing holes are correct in size and position to

suit the mounting-flanges of the PowerCore dust collector (details of aperture

and mounting flange fixing positions are provided in Publication 3010).

2 Open the access door and remove the pack of

sealing strip from the clean air chamber.

Apply two continuous beads of sealing strip all round

aperture, on either side of the fixing holes, as shown.

3 Following the general guidance to lifting, lift and position the collector until

the mounting-flange is seated in position over the aperture. Match up fixing-

holes, install bolts, washers and nuts and tighten down all round to form an

airtight seal.

Fixing bolts etc. are not supplied by Donaldson.

Compressed air requirements

PowerCore dust collectors require an independent supply of clean, dry, oil-free

compressed air. Details of atmospheric pressure and quantity are given in

Table 3 (refer to ‘Specification’ section). A design label is also attached to each

manifold. Where an existing factory mains system is to be used it may be

necessary to install an additional moisture separator in the supply line to the

collector. If a compressor is being installed to supply the collector, then the

following conditions should be observed as far as possible:

Type of compressor

Use a compressor of ample capacity – an overloaded compressor tends to

produce excessively contaminated, moisture-laden air.

Location of air intake

Avoid locating the air intake in an excessively polluted area and install an adequate

air intake filter. The compressor air intake should be sited, if possible, on the

north side of the building – fresh air drawn from the north side is usually cooler

and denser, and therefore has a lower moisture content. (South of the equator

the reverse will apply).

Layout and installation of air lines

The pipework between compressor and dust collector should be long enough to

act as a cooling device for the compressed air. A typical requirement for the

smaller installation would be 10m (30ft) of 12mm (½" NB) piping. For further

details see Table 3. The piping should be installed to provide a fall in the direction

of air flow to assist in the drainage of accumulated moisture. A moisture separator

should be provided at the lowest point of the installation.
