Vacuum spray degassing — 28.08.2019 - Rev. B
Note!
•
To ensure fault-free operation of the system over the long-term, glycols whose inhibitors prevent corrosion
phenomena must always be used for systems operating with water/glycol mixtures. It must also be ensured
that no foam is formed due to the substances in the water. Otherwise this could endanger the entire function of
the vacuum spray tube degassing as this can lead to sedimentation in the vent pipe and therefore leaks.
•
The specifications of the respective manufacturer are always decisive for the specific properties and mixing
ratio of the water/glycol mixtures.
•
Types of glycol must not be mixed and the concentration is generally to be checked every year (see
manufacturer information).
3.5
Impermissible operating conditions
The device is not suitable for the following applications:
•
Outdoor operation.
•
For use with mineral oils.
•
For use with flammable media.
•
For use with distilled water.
Note!
It is not permitted to make any modifications to the hydraulic system or the circuitry.
3.6
Residual risks
The device has been manufactured using state-of-the-art technology. Despite this, residual risks cannot be excluded.
WARNING
Risk of fire due to open ignition sources
The device housing is made of combustible material and is heat-sensitive.
•
Avoid heat and ignition sources (flames or sparks).
CAUTION
Risk of burns on hot surfaces
Hot surfaces in heating systems can cause burns to the skin.
•
Wear protective gloves.
•
Please place appropriate warning signs in the vicinity of the device.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to pressurised liquid
If installation, removal or maintenance work is not carried out correctly, there is a risk of burns and other injuries at the
connection points, if pressurised hot water or hot steam suddenly escapes.
•
Ensure proper installation, removal or maintenance work.
•
Ensure that the system is de-pressurised before performing installation, removal or maintenance work at the connection
points.
CAUTION
Risk of injury when upon coming into contact with glycol containing water
Contact with glycol containing water in plant systems for cooling circuits can result in irritation of the skin and eyes.
•
Use personal protective equipment (safety clothing, gloves and goggles, for example).
