18.3 Pressure vessels
Pressure vessels sent for recycling/destruction must have been
depressurised beforehand and, if possible, opened.
Examples of existing pressure vessels are gas dampers and accumula-
tors used in hydraulic systems.
18.3.1 Gas dampers
DANGER
Gas dampers have extremely high internal pressure. To prevent inju-
ry, always heed the instructions of the manufacturer.
Use safety goggles when disassembling springs.
To allow the gas to escape, only open and disassemble gas dampers
as prescribed by the manufacturer. An example of how to perform this
is given for “Stabilus Lift-O-Mat/Inter-stop”:
1: Drill or cut a hole in the cylinders, approximately 20 mm from the bot-
tom.
2: Drill or cut a hole in the cavity at the piston rod end.
ca 20 mm
