5.2 General Specifications

5.2.1 T-Rack®s and Sub-Units


A T-Rack® 3.0 consists of one or more sub-units, each with 4 to 68 modules in two or four module rows.
Example: T-Rack® consisting of three sub-units, each with 12 modules in two rows:

These instructions describe the installation of a free-standing sub-unit of a T-Rack® with a total of 12 modules
in two rows. The procedures and steps similarly apply to variants with fewer modules in two rows.
◼ In general, only inge® original parts are approved for installation of the T-Rack® series.
◼ The existing connecting pipework must be free of contaminants which can cause abrasion or
fouling.
◼ All coated frame parts must be treated with care. If the coatings should become damaged, they
must be resealed with a protective coating or exchanged.
Connecting of a sub-unit to an existing sub-unit is described in the next section:
→ 5.14.1 Assembly of Multiple Sub-Units to one T-Rack®

T-Rack 3.0 Series – Assembly Instructions Page 31 of 87

Installation / Assembly

5.2.2 T-Rack® Geometric Flexibility

NOTE
The T-Rack® 3.0 is designed to allow expansion as well as
contraction and is therefore flexible. This is necessary to allow
differences in temperature and pressure. The maximum difference
between the length of a T-Rack® 3.0 in ‘as-built’ condition to the
length after pressurizing is about 2 mm per T-piece composite
coupling.

2 mm per
coupling

NOTE
The T-Rack® can contract further when the T-Rack® 3.0 is exposed
to pressures below atmospheric (vacuum). The T-Rack® 3.0 is not
designed for vacuum conditions.

NOTE
The T-Rack® 3.0 is designed with connection options on both sides.
If it is required to connect the T-Rack® 3.0 with pipework on both
sides, this pipework should be able to adjust to the full expansion
and contraction possibility of the T-Rack® 3.0. In installations where
both the bottom as well as the top feed headers of the T-Rack® 3.0
are connected to fixed pipework, a device for adjusting to expansion
and contraction can be omitted as long as the feed pressure is below
3 bar.

5.2.3 Calculation of Personnel Requirements


Personnel Requirements for mounting a module without a Crane

CAUTION
DANGER OF INJURY!
Danger of injury due to physical strain.
▪ Determine the weight of the module in use!
▪ Always note the locally applicable maximum permissible load of
persons!
▪ Note the specified number of persons required!

To mount the module without a crane, calculate the number of persons required as follows.
1. Determine the transport weight of a module you are using from the
→ 3.3 Technical Data
2. Determine the maximum permissible load on a person from the locally applicable laws and safety
regulations.
3. Calculate the required number of persons required to lift a module by dividing the module transport
weight by the maximum permissible load per person.

Always use the calculated number of persons when a module needs to be lifted and placed on a connecting
brace. In our example configuration, a total of 3 persons was determined and specified. Always replace this
number by the number you actually determined yourself.
The total number of persons required is always one person more since when setting up modules 1 to 3, one
person must hold the already installed modules vertical while the others lift and position another module.

Personnel Requirements for Other Tasks


Unless otherwise specified, all other tasks require one person.
If steps require two or more persons, this is specified in each case.
A maximum of 4 persons are needed.

NOTE
CAUTION, PROPERTY DAMAGE!
If the tightening torques specified in these instructions are
exceeded, the system parts may become damaged and leaks may
occur during operation.
▪ Always adhere to the specified tightening torques!

NOTE
The 2’’ and 6’’ composite couplings should be tightened until the
contact surfaces of both coupling halves are flush and resting
against each other without a gap. These types of couplings do not
require a specific torque. The usual range of torque for the 2’’
coupling is 10-15 Nm, and 20-28 Nm for the 6’’ coupling.

For the entire setup of T-Rack® sub-units, only the following tools and devices are approved:
◼ Torque screwdriver (pneumatic or electric), provided that these can be used to reliably and

Service and Maintenance

6.2 Checks during Operation


Checking for Leak Tightness
Regular general maintenance work on T-Rack®s should include checking the tightness and proper working
order of all joints and connections (flanges, valves, couplings, etc.) and repairing any damage that may have
occurred.

NOTE
CAUTION, PROPERTY DAMAGE!
Fluid leakage – especially where corrosive agents are involved –
may cause corrosion to appear on the components concerned.
Effective measures should be taken to avoid corrosion before it
occurs.
▪ In the event of fluid escaping due to a leak, the affected area
should be properly gasketed, rinsed down with salt-free or low-
salt water and rubbed dry.
▪ If the coating of a coated coupling has been damaged, the
coating must be repaired or the coupling replaced.

6.2.1 Eliminating Leaks


Eliminate leaks by exchanging the corresponding coupling components and pipe connections.
When doing so, note the warnings and instructions provided in section 5 Installation / Assembly, as applicable.
