INSTALLATION & LOCATION SELECTION tips for HOT AIR OVEN

•    HOT AIR OVEN shall be located to protect them from damage by external heat, vibration and mechanical hazards.
•    Ovens shall be located to minimize exposure to power equipment, process equipment and sprinkler risers. Unrelated stock and combustible materials shall be maintained at a fire-safe distance but not less than 10 feet from an oven or ductwork.
•    Furnace shall be located to minimize exposure to people from the possibility of injury from fire, explosion, asphyxiation, and hazardous materials and shall not obstruct personnel travel to exit ways.
•    Ovens shall be located to prevent an ignition source to flammable coating dip tanks, spray booths, storage and mixing rooms for flammable liquids, or exposure to flammable vapor or combustible dust clouds. Furnace should not be located in hazardous locations.
