used as a source of energy, e.g. in boilers, driers, vaporizers, heat exchangers or industrial
ovens. Alternatively, it can control the compressed air supply in process engineering applica-
tions.
Thedeviceisdesignedtooperateunderexactlydenedconditions(e.g.operatingpressure,
process medium, temperature). Therefore, operators must ensure that the device is only used
inoperatingconditionsthatmeetthespecicationsusedforsizingthedeviceattheordering
