7.4 Pneumatic connection
CAUTION
Personal injury or property damage through
ejected plugs
If not removed, the plugs on the pressure side of
the pump can be ejected during operation by the
resulting overpressure.
àRemove the plugs during installation.
àWear appropriate personal protective equip-
ment.
Connected components
à
Only connect components to the pump that are designed for the pneu-
matic data and thermal requirements of the pump. (see Chapter 4
Technical data).
Pressure relief device
à
Protect the compressors by means of a pressure relief device between
the pressure-side connections of the compressor and the first shut-off
valve.
Pump discharge
à
If the pump is being used as a vacuum pump, safely (relating to the
medium and noise) discharge the possibly hot pump discharge via the
pneumatic outlet of the pump.
Decoupling
à
KNF recommends mechanically decoupling the pump from the pipe
system, e.g., through the use of flexible hoses or pipes. In this way it is
possible to prevent the transfer of possible pump vibrations and noises
to the system.
