12 Applications with oxidising operating fluids
WARNING
Risk of sustaining injuries due to fire or explosion!
Self-ignition caused by oxygen may lead to accidents with serious or fatal injuries.
► Always observe all regulations and best practices regarding the handling of
oxidising operating fluids, as well as the specifications and instructions in the
manual.
► This risk must be considered in the overall risk assessment of the system.

Oxygen, oxidising gases and gas mixtures as operating fluid
Oxygen, oxidising gases and gas mixtures can be compressed with special gas
boosters. The equipment is usually marked with the order code suffix “S”. The
following thresholds must be observed for safe operation:
Tab. 12-1 Oxygen, oxidising gases and gas mixtures as operating fluid
Most gas boosters are technically capable of exceeding the thresholds specified
here. Therefore, observance of the thresholds specified here for all possible op-
erating states must usually be ensured by implementing additional measures.
