7.3 Transportation
WARNING
Do not drain the oil from the pump(s) if you know that dangerous substances
have been pumped, or if you are unsure whether dangerous substances have
been pumped or not.
WARNING
If you have to transport the iH system with the pump(s) filled with oil, you
must fit blanking plates to seal all vacuum inlet and outlet ports (to prevent
possible oil leakage).
CAUTION
Drain the cooling-water from the iH system, if you want to transport it in conditions where
the cooling-water could freeze. If you do not, cooling-water may freeze in the iH system
and damage the pump and/or the cooling-water pipelines.
Notes: The HCDP pump (and on iH600 and iH1000 systems, the HCMB pump) is supplied fitted with a
transit seal. This seal has a finite serviceable life. If the iH system is transported with the pump(s)
full of oil when the transit seal is no longer serviceable, oil may leak into the swept volume of the
pump(s).
You must provide a correctly completed Return of Equipment Declaration (form HS2) if you
return the iH system to BOC Edwards: refer to Section 8.2.
If the iH system is to be returned to BOC Edwards, ensure the iTIM module is first removed
from the system (as detailed in the iTIM instruction manual) for use with the replacement
pump. iH pumps returned from BOC Edwards after service will not include an iTIM module.
If you want to transport the iH system (either for onward shipment to your own customer, or
for return to BOC Edwards for repair), before you transport it:
1. If applicable, ensure that the iH system has been purged and shut down (see Section 5.10)
and disconnect all services, process and exhaust connections.
