Notes to personnel
Note!
Every person installing this equipment or performing any other work at the equipment is required to carefully read this
manual prior to commencing work and to comply with its instructions. The manual is to be provided to the device
operator and must be stored near the device for access at any time.
•
Modifications of the equipment are not permitted.
•
For example, welding at other points than the connection piece (in equipment with welded connection)
•
For example, mechanical deformations
•
Use only original parts provided by the manufacturer when replacing parts.
•
All required inspections must be ordered by the operator pursuant to the provisions of the applicable industrial safety regulations.
Required inspections and tests are:
•
Inspections and tests prior to commissioning
•
Inspections and tests after significant modifications of the installation
•
Recurring inspections
•
The devices to be installed and operated must not exhibit any visible exterior damage at the pressure component.
•
Ignoring this manual and the safety information in particular, may cause the destruction and defects of the equipment, endanger
persons and adversely affect the functioning. Any contravention voids the guarantee and liability.
1.4
Intended use
The device is a separator for heating and cooling water systems. Dependent on its design, it is suitable for separating and removing dirt
and sludge as well as micro-bubbles and residual air trapped at high points. The devices may be used only in systems that are sealed
against corrosion and with the following water types:
•
Non-corrosive
•
Chemically non-aggressive
•
Non-toxic
The ingress of atmospheric oxygen into the entire heating and cooling water system, make-up water, etc. must be reliably minimized
during operation.
Note!
•
To ensure fault-free operation of the system for the long-term, glycols whose inhibitors prevent corrosion
phenomena must always be used for systems operating with water/glycol mixtures.
•
The specifications of the respective manufacturer are always decisive for the specific properties and mixing ratio of
the water/glycol mixtures.
•
Types of glycol must not be mixed and the concentration is generally to be checked every year (see manufacturer
information).
1.5
Inadmissible operating conditions
The device is not suited for the following conditions.
•
In drinking water systems
•
Outdoor operation
•
Usage with mineral oils
•
Usage with flammable media
•
For use with additives in a concentration above the permissible dosing quantity
•
For use with chemical substances, for which no compatibility tests have been performed for all materials present in the system
•
For use with water with a glycol content of greater than 50%
