OPERATION
2.1.
Before operating
the dampener
➢
Make sure the dampener is installed according to the installation instruction.
➢
When installation is new or the dampener is reinstalled, a test run with water must be
conducted to make sure that the dampener operates normally and does not leak.
➢
When installation is new or the dampener reinstalled, check the dampener housing
nuts tightening torque (see chapter 6
.2
“
Tightening torques
”
). After approximately one
week of operation, the torque must be checked again. This is important to prevent
possible leakage.
2.2.
Disposal after expiration of the expected lifetime
The metallic components like aluminium, stainless steel and carbon steel can be recycled.
Plastic parts are not recyclable and must be disposed of as residual waste. The dampener
must be disposed of properly, according to local regulations. It should be noted that
potentially dangerous fluid residues may remain in the dampener and can create a hazard
to the operator or the environment, therefore the dampener has to be thoroughly cleaned
before disposal.
2.3.
Actions in emergency
In case of transferred liquid leakage, the air supply have to be closed and the pressure
released. During spillage of an aggressive liquid, local and national safety rules must be
followed.
2.4.
Residual risks
Even with proper application and observance of all points listed in this operating manual,
there is still an estimable and unexpected residual risk when using the pumps. It may leak,
fail due to wear, application-related causes or system-related circumstances.
