Hazardous situations
WARNING
Avoid direct contact between a strong oxidiser or a strong acid and Bredel
Genuine Hose Lubricant. This can cause unwanted chemical reactions. Use
an alternative lubricant to avoid hazardous situations. In case of doubt,
consult your Bredel representative..
Additional downtime
Hose failure will result in additional downtime, because you must clean the pump before a new hose
installation.
Note: Regularly replace the hose to avoid hose failure and additional downtime. Hose life depends on
the operating condition, process fluid and hose material. The end-user should be aware of this and
establish the frequency of preventive hose replacement. In case of doubt, consult your Bredel
representative.
Large spill of product
In case the pressure in the process line (reservoir) is above the pressure in the pump housing
(ambient pressure), the process fluid can enter the pump housing. If there is no check valve in the
process line fluid can flow from the reservoir into the pump housing and escape through the breather
onto the floor. This could lead to a large spill of product outside the pump. Reversed flow protection
is advised. This is not part of the scope of delivery.
A high-level float switch can be applied to detect fluid escaping through the breather.
