–
Prior to the removal of a pressurised component, disconnect the dryer
from all pressure sources and relieve the pressure load on the dryer.
–
Do not use flammable solvents to clean the dryer.
–
Ensure exceptional cleanliness during all maintenance and repair work.
Keep parts and exposed openings clear of dirt by covering them with a
clean cloth, paper or adhesive strips.
–
Never weld on pressurised components or modify them in any way.
–
Ensure that no tools, loose parts, etc. are left behind in the system.
Handling refrigerant
–
Wear protective goggles and protective gloves.
–
Do not allow liquid refrigerant to come into contact with the skin (causes
frostbite).
–
Do not inhale refrigerant vapour.
–
To avoid higher concentrations, ventilate the workrooms well. Opening
windows and doors is insufficient – a ventilation system is required, pref-
erably on the connection point or near the ground.
–
Do not smoke – burning cigarettes can cause the refrigerant to decom-
pose. The substances produced as a result are toxic and must not be
inhaled.
–
Do not allow refrigerant to escape when it is topped up or during repair
work.
–
If the concentration of refrigerant suddenly increases (e.g. due to burst
pipelines), leave the room immediately and enter only when there is suf-
ficient ventilation.
–
Welding and soldering work should only be carried out on refrigerating
systems in well-ventilated rooms. Refrigerant will decompose when ex-
posed to flames and electric arcs. The resulting decomposition products
are toxic.
–
Before commencing welding or soldering work on refrigeration systems,
the refrigerant must be removed.
–
A strong odour indicates decomposition of the refrigerant:
–
Leave the room immediately. Ventilate the room well.
CAUTION
Contact with refrigerant can cause poisoning and irritation of the res-
piratory tract.
Refrigerant contains harmful substances that can lead to poisoning and irri-
tation of the respiratory tract.
Î
Repair and maintenance work on the refrigerant compressed air dryer
(EO...D, EO...DR) may only be carried out by trained BOGE Service per-
sonnel.
Î
Wear personal protective equipment.
Î
Observe the refrigerant safety data sheet.
