The temperature limits given in the table are guidance values to be observed before,
during and after the installation of tube bundles.

1) Basically conforming VDE 0207, part 3

2) Plastics become hard and hence brittle at low temperatures; at higher temperatures they lose
hardness, thus becoming more likely to deform under pressure. To meet the temperature
requirements the bundle must have been kept within the recommended temperature range
for the last 12 hours before being installed.
