Hello everybody,
Do I need teflon pads between the legs of the heat exchanger and concrete / steel. What is the practice? Do some standard covers? Thanks
ripaklee, thank you. However I am aware about necessity for free moving of HE, but some suppliers require slide bearing support (teflon plate) between HE support foot and concrete foundation. Some of them ask me to put steel plate instead of teflon. Is there any firm practice or standard? tnx.
The standard is clear that the Vendor shall be responsible for the design of the supports - with or without PTFE on the slide bearing saddle - and the Purchaser for the design review.
