8. Salt resistant specification
For equipment installed in coastal regions, corrosion due to sea salt particles is severe, and the standard specification
models might not be able to cope with this environment. Therefore, a specification that is resistant to salt damage
has been prepared for installations in coastal regions.
(1)Precautions regarding installation
Although a salt resistant specification has been adopted, this is not always effective against corrosion.
The following points regarding installation and maintenance should be carefully considered.
1)The equipment should be installed on the downwind side of the building.
2)If it is unavoidable that the equipment is installed on the coast side of the building, then a wind
shield should be provided in order to protect the equipment from direct sea wind.
3)Install the equipment in a location with good drainage.
4)After installation carry out sufficient maintenance.
The internal and external surfaces of the equipment should be regularly and periodically inspected.
As necessary paint the surfaces with rustproof paints or wax, etc.
