8 Instructions for use of air receiver
1. This vessel can contain pressurized air; be aware of its
potential danger in case of misuse.
2. This vessel shall only be used as compressed air/oil
separator and be operated within the specified limits as
mentioned on the data plate.
3. No alterations shall be made to this vessel by welding,
drilling or other methods of mechanical work without written
permission of the manufacturer.
4. Original bolts have to be used after opening for inspection.
The maximum torque has to be taken into consideration:
for M12 bolts 73 Nm (+/- 18), for M16 bolts 185 Nm (+/-
45).
5. Pressure and temperature of this vessel must be clearly
indicated.
6. The safety valve must correspond with pressure surges of
1.1 times the maximum allowable operating pressure. It
should guarantee that the pressure will not permanently
exceed the maximum allowable operating pressure of the
vessel.
7. Use only oil as specified by the manufacturer.
8. This vessel has been designed and built to guarantee an
operational lifetime in excess of 20 years and an infinite
number of pressure load cycles. Therefore, there is no
intrinsic need for in service inspection of the vessel when
used within the design limits and in its intended application.
However, national legislation may require in service
inspection.
