6.1.2 Pressure relief
WARNING!
Risk of serious injuries caused by liquid spouting out or
escaping gases!
Gases or liquids may escape uncontrollably from seals and screw
connections. Especially when flange connections are released
and maintenance openings are opened, pressurized liquid can
spout out at the cover.
Never loosen connections when the unit is pressurized.
— Ensure that all valves and shut-off devices on the inlet and
outlet are closed.
— Release the pressure and empty the Börger machine via a
drainage device (if available).
— Collect any leakage of medium by suitable means and dis-
pose of it in accordance with the applicable local guidelines.
— Therefore, wear your personal protective equipment (PPE)
Ä
Chapter 2.6 “Personal protective equipment” on page 25
when opening the cover and take all necessary precautions.
WARNING!
Severe injury due to residual pressure!
Despite having depressurized the Börger machine, it may be
under residual pressure in the event of congestion or lump forma-
tion in the medium.
— Take extra care when removing the flange connections and
maintenance openings to prevent accidents caused by the
release of residual pressure.
