Installation Manual 19. Installation of auxiliary units and modules
NOTE
These instructions cover only units that are designed by Wärtsilä. For
instructions on installing other units, refer to the manuals issued by the
manufacturer.
These installation instructions are intended as guidance only, and some procedures are
described on a quite general level. Detailed specifications and installation requirements are
given in the mechanical and electrical drawings of the specific unit, and must be considered
when applying the instructions.
● The material safety data sheets (MSDS) provided with the chemicals must be thoroughly
studied before the chemicals are used.
○ When handling chemicals, contact with skin and eyes must be avoided. Therefore,
always use protective clothing, including safety glasses and impermeable gloves. A
respirator may also be required. Never eat or drink while handling chemicals.
○ The chemicals must be kept in a well ventilated place. Spills must be properly
collected and the chemicals disposed of in accordance with the regulations and the
material safety data sheet.
● Make sure that all units are properly supported during the installation work, so that they
cannot fall or tip over.
● Notify the other installation workers before starting an installation task that requires
special attention from co-workers.
CAUTION
The control cabinets must be disconnected before starting any welding work.
○ Protect bellows and flexible hoses against welding sparks, for instance using steel
sheets or leather.
● Make sure that the return current cable of the welding device is connected in a safe and
correct way. In addition to the risk of equipment damage, incorrect connection of the
cable constitutes a safety hazard.
WARNING
The transport and lifting must be done only by authorized persons who have
received adequate training.
NOTE
If the unit will be stored outdoors, keep the container or crate unopened until it
is time for the installation or inspection of the delivery.
For information about the weight of the unit, refer to the dimensional drawing.
Procedure
1 Check the delivery against the packing list, to make sure that all parts are included.
Make sure that all pipes and other components that were dismounted for the transport are
included in the delivery.
Postrequisites
If the equipment will be stored outdoors before the installation, it must be repacked after
the inspection.
Procedure
1 Remove the counter flanges and the protection plates of the pipes.
2 Inspect the pipes visually to check that they are clean on the inside.
3 Put the counter flanges and the protection plates back in place.
Postrequisites
If heavy rust or large impurities are found, the pipes must be mechanically cleaned or, in
worst case, chemically pickled or sandblasted before the installation. A separate flushing is
also needed. Contact Wärtsilä for further advice.
WARNING
Always make sure that nobody is under the lifted unit.
Procedure
NOTE
The lifting ropes must not press against any part of the unit.
● Adjust the lifting ropes so that they carry the load evenly and the unit is well balanced.
The ropes must not get twisted.
a Tighten the lifting ropes until the unit is lifted off the floor.
4 Lift the unit carefully in position, avoiding impact against any nearby structures or
equipment.
CAUTION
It is of utmost importance that the pipes are clean. Dirt or impurities in the pipes
may cause severe damage to the engine.
CAUTION
When cleaning the external pipe systems made at the site, do not circulate the
pickling liquid in the unit.
If necessary, contact Wärtsilä for flushing instructions and advice regarding the need for a
separate flushing.
Procedure
NOTE
All pipes made at the site must be properly cleaned and flushed before they are
installed.
Postrequisites
Before taking the unit into use, perform the appropriate commissioning inspections and
tests to ensure that the installation is complete and the unit is ready for operation.
Procedure
2 If the unit is equipped with levelling bolts, put the bolts in place.
a Mount the levelling bolts in the preassigned locations, close to the corners of the
unit frame.
If the bolts have already been mounted, check that they are in the uppermost position so
that the unit does not yet rest on them.
b Tighten the levelling bolts just until they start to lift the unit off the floor.
4 Adjust the height of the module as necessary and then recheck the levelling. Repeat
this procedure until the unit frame is completely level.
Any inclination is corrected by tightening the appropriate levelling bolts, or by inserting
shims of suitable thickness between the unit frame and the floor.
Example
Postrequisites
When the unit has been correctly levelled, it shall be secured to the floor with anchor bolts.
For units equipped with a levelling bolt arrangement, this is usually done using special
frame feet, which are delivered loose and have to be welded to the unit frame after
fastening them to the floor.
Prerequisites
Before fastening the unit to the floor, make sure that it has been correctly positioned
according to the layout drawings and properly levelled.
The unit is fastened to the floor using anchor bolts. The holes for the anchor bolts are
located in the corners of the unit frame. Alternatively, the unit can be equipped with
separate frame feet that are delivered loose and have to be welded to the unit frame after
fastening them to the floor.
Procedure
2 Drill the holes for the anchor bolts in the concrete foundation.
Check the correct size of the anchor bolts from the dimensional drawing.
3 Fix the unit frame (or the separate frame feet) to the floor with anchor bolts.
Tighten the anchor bolts to the torque specified by the manufacturer.
4 If the unit has separate frame feet, weld them to the unit frame. After the welding,
remove the welding slag and repaint the area.
Example
WARNING
Do not connect any pipe or open any flanges in the external pipe systems
before ensuring that the piping is not pressurized.
Prerequisites
Before the pipes are installed, the units to be connected must be mounted in their final
positions.
The pipe connections of the unit are supplied with the necessary counter flanges.
● Make sure that pipes of the correct size and material are used.
● Make sure that the pipes are properly supported and fitted without tension.
All possible piping loads – such as the weight of the filled pipe and the thermal
expansion – must be taken into account.
● Clean and flush the pipes properly before connecting them, to remove any dirt.
● Keep the protective covers of the pipe connections in place until the pipes are
connected.
NOTE
Be careful not to let any dirt into the pipes during the installation.
● Tack weld the pipes to the flanges when the pipes are in position.
Remove the pipes for the final welding.
● Make sure that the gaskets of the flange connections are properly mounted and
that the bolts are tightened to the correct torque.
CAUTION
It is of utmost importance that the pipes are perfectly clean. Dirt or impurities in
the pipes may cause severe damage to the engine.
