Receiving inspection
Although precaution is taken by us when packing and shipping, we urge you to carefully check
the shipment on receipt. Make sure that all parts and accessories listed on the packing list are
accounted for. Immediately report any damage or shortage to the transport company and to
us.
-
Before handling the dampener check the weight of the dampener (see 6.3.
“
Technical
data
”
). Refer to Your local standards on how to handle the dampener. If the weight is
excessive to transport by hand it must be lifted using slings and a suitable lifting device
e.g. a crane or forklift.
-
Always use at least two slings and make sure they are secured in such a way to prevent
the dampener from slipping and that the dampener is hanging straight. Never lift the
dampener with only one sling. Incorrect lifting can cause serious injury and/or damage to
the dampener.
-
Never lift the dampener under pressure.
-
Be careful that nobody passes under the dampener when lifted.
-
Never try to lift the dampener by the connections (e.g. flange pipes) or hoses attached to
the dampener.
-
As an option, dampener can be equipped with lifting eyebolts connected with the
dampener pin screws.
1.3.
Storage
If the equipment is to be stored prior to installation, place it in a clean location. The dampener
should be stored in an ambient temperature of 15°C (59°F) to 25°C (77°F) and relative humidity
below 65%. It should not be exposed to any heat source e.g. radiator, sun as this could result in
a negative way on the tightness of the dampener. Do not remove protective covers from the
inlet/outlet and air connections which have been fastened to keep dampener internals free of
debris. Clean the dampener thoroughly before installation.
1.4.
Health and safety
The pulsation dampener must be installed according to local and national safety rules.
The dampeners are constructed for particular applications. Do not use the dampeners on
applications different from that for which it was sold without consulting us to ascertain
its suitability.
The dampeners are tested with water. If the pumped product can come into reaction with
water, please make sure the device is dry before putting it into operation.
