Frame 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 on the sides
or bottom of the frame.
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.
