General
Warning!
Chlorine gas irritates the respiratory tracts. Contact with chlorine
gas in high concentrations irritates and damages the membranes,
respiratory system and the skin. In extreme cases death can result
due to suffocation.
Before carrying out any maintenance operations involving dis-
mantling, the system should be cleared of gas. Follow procedure
at chapter 5.2.2.
When disassembling the system always put on your gas mask.
•
Maintenance of the gas control unit is simplified if the following
general precautions are taken. These are easily followed and
will reduce costly maintenance and repairs by providing good
operating conditions.
•
Chlorine and sulphur dioxide gas, when moist, are extremely
corrosive. All metal parts which normally come into contact
with moist gas are made from materials which will withstand
the corrosive action; common metals are used only where the
part is exposed to dry gas. All connections should be checked
daily for signs of leaks. Every leak must be rectified as soon as
it is discovered.
•
The presence of a leak of chlorine or sulphur dioxide will be
indicated by odour and/or fume detection equipment, if sup-
plied. The exact location may be determined by ammonia
vapour. Dense white clouds of ammonium chloride form near
the leak in the presence of ammonia.
•
When a connection is broken, if only for a short time, the ope-
ning should be plugged immediately to prevent the ingress of
moisture which should be excluded from any part of the equip-
ment normally exposed only to dry gas.
•
Water leaks must not be tolerated and should be rectified as
soon as they are discovered.
•
Whenever threaded plastic parts are assembled, silicone type
grease should be used used to prevent the parts locking toge-
ther. In general, tools should not be used to make up plastic
connections, this type of connection should be made up by
hand only.
•
If the flowmeter tube, float, V-notch plug or any valve seat
becomes contaminated with impurities sometimes found in
gases, it should be removed and cleaned.
