Basic safety notes
Risk of severe injuries
The equipment is under pressure during
operation and can be hot or very cold,
depending on the fluid used. Only perform work
on the equipment if the following conditions are
satisfied:
The pipes must not be under pressure.
All fluid must be thoroughly removed from
pipes and the equipment.
Before carrying out any work, the higher-
level system must be switched off and
secured so it cannot be switched on by
unauthorised persons.
Pipes and the equipment must have cooled
to lukewarm, or around 20 °C.
The equipment may only be used with fluids that
are not aggressive in contact with material and
seals. Otherwise, leaks may occur and hot or
toxic fluid may escape.
The equipment and its components may only be
installed or removed by specialist personnel.
Specialist personnel must have knowledge and
experience in the following areas:
Producing pipe connections.
Selecting suitable lifting gear for the product
and using it safely.
Working with hazardous (hot, cold or
pressurised) fluids.
If the admissible pressure and temperature
ratings are exceeded, the equipment may be
destroyed and hot, cold or pressurised fluid may
escape. Make sure that the equipment is always
used within the admissible pressure and
temperature ratings.
You can find information about the pressure and
temperature ratings on the name plate and in
the “
Technical data
” section.
The equipment is under pressure during
operation and can become hot or cold,
depending on the fluid used. Only bring the
equipment into service if contact with surfaces
is prevented by insulation or other protection.
Always wear protective clothing when working
on the equipment and on pipes carrying fluid.
You will find information on suitable protective
clothing in the safety data sheet for the fluid
used.
Risk of minor injuries
Sharp edges on internals present the danger of
cuts to hands. Always wear industrial gloves
when servicing the equipment.
If the equipment is inadequately supported
during installation, there is a risk of getting
crushed if it falls. Use the eyebolt to secure
lifting gear, if available. Secure the equipment
during installation so it cannot fall. Use the
eyebolt to do this, if available. Wear sturdy
safety boots.
Information on property damage
or malfunctions
Malfunctions will occur if the equipment is
installed in a wrong position or with the flow
arrow pointing in the opposite direction of the
fluid flow. This may result in damage to the
equipment or the installation. Make sure that
the flow arrow on the equipment body matches
the indicated direction of the fluid flow in the
pipe.
If the material is unsuitable for the fluid,
increased wear may occur and fluid may
escape. Make sure that the material is suitable
for the fluid used in your installation.
