SET-UP
START-UP AND UTILIZATION
For a correct use:
damage to the heat exchanger.
THE USE OF PRESSURE EQUIPMENT IS FORBIDDEN BY UNAUTHORIZED/
UNINSTRUCTED PERSONNEL
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM FLOW RATE
Test all connections for leakage.
Completely p
urge the air from the heat exchanger during the water filling through the proper purge
connections placed on the headers.
The presence of air inside may cause damages to the heat exchanger during the operation.
Before use, analyse the water and/or the antifreeze fluids and verify their compatibility with the materials of
the flooded
vessel
, in order to avoid damage and malfunction due to corrosion or formation of deposits.
Always verify the presence and the correct operation of safety accessories and fire extinguishing systems.
Make reference to current local legislation that regulates the requirements at the start-up and periodical
checks of plants and pressure equipments. Please contact your Notified Body in order to draft a report with
positive result for the start-up.
In the case of SILICONE FREE units, PROVIDES declares that
to the
best
of
it’s knowledge and based on
previous findings and information available from it’s suppliers at the time of the request, that the heat
exchanger does not intentionally contain silicone, although there might be traces due to impurities in the
raw materials.
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE
INDICATED ON THE NAMEPLATE
• Do not expose the heat exchanger to any kind of excessive vibration;
• Avoid foreign particles entering in to the pressure equipment;
• Avoid the cavitation of the pump and the presence of gas in the hydraulic circuit;
• Do not expose the heat exchanger to pressure and temperature fluctuations;
• Do not expose the pressure equipment to constant or variable loads;
• Use only water and/or brine solutions compatible with the materials of the heat exchanger;
• Avoid the outlet of water from the flooded
vessel
at the room pressure.
• Maintain the water velocity within recommended limits. Excessive water velocity could cause erosion and
